I’m convinced the Mets are showcasing Semien and Polanco hoping to trade them. The problem is, every time they play, their value goes down. Same with some of those ****ty pitchers
Love that guy. You have to watch the one he did about the "ball girl" for the Giants a while back. Comedy gold.
Don't think there are a lot teams lining up to trade for Polanco, who is slashing .154/.206/.231 and has another year at $20 million left on his contract. Or Semien, at .204/.261/.332 and two more years at $46 million total.

Dylan Cease, a pretty good modern-day pitcher, has four career shutouts. Larry Jaster had five shutouts in 1966, all against the Dodgers.

Two observations from the "pre-game" of the HOF inductions:
- Am I the only one who silently says "He converted" whenever Rod Carew is introduced? Thanks, Adam Sandler, for that one.
- As a Braves fan who grew up during the great '90s era, I love how Bobby Cox's 162 career ejections were highlighted by Jane Forbes Clark during the remembrance of the HOFers who died over the last year. With respect to Cal Ripken, THAT mark might be a true unbreakable record, especially considering how managers now have multiple avenues to appeal bad calls.

I hope someone took Jeff Kent to Lou Whitaker’s house so he could see what a Gold Glove looks like

Before Dale was traded to the Phillies, his kids went to my elementary school in suburban Alpharetta. He would often come by the school to greet the other kids and sign autographs, but this was before my sports fandom, and I had no idea who he was. My parents also told me stories of when they were looking to build our family's home in the late '70s, one of the other lots they looked at would've put us next door to where Murph lived.
Only took me about an extra 30 years, once he opened his restaurant across the interstate from Truist Park, that I was finally able to right that wrong and meet him.

Wow, the Brewers DFAed Lance McCullers Jr. They were talking him up big-time on MLB Network the other day, saying what a huge get he was.

Way to make me feel old, Tigers.

All the time he was with the Giants, I don't recall a thing that made me think HOF.
To be fair, I don't think the Bird's lifestyle led itself to a lot of restraint, if you catch my drift.
I remember my Dad was in the NMU marching band in the late 70s and the Bird was the grand marshal of the Homecoming parade and was higher than a kite.
Speaking of the Tigers, who've managed to ruin their comeback thanks to two-strike go-behind homers from the GD Royals off middle relievers on back-to-back days:

If Scott Harris is doing his due diligence, and I’m sure he is, he’s canvassing the suitors for Tarik Skubal about what they would give up for Casey Mize. Best case scenario is Skubal to the Dodgers and Mize to the Brewers.
