2026 MLB Thread

Jo Adell, the Angels RF who robbed 3 HR in one game earlier this season, pulled a "Canseco" last night, with a deep fly bouncing off his head and going over the wall for a HR.

I was at that Canseco game.

Brewers led MLB in ERA for the month of May.

Every starter had less than 2 years of MLB experience.

Ohtani had three hits last night ... and allowed only two.

Six shutout innings, lowering his ERA to 0.74.

Utterly ridiculous.

Another highlight-worthy moment from MVPete tonight.

Another highlight-worthy moment from MVPete tonight.

Surely you mean his first career walk off hit.

Or his home run?

9th in MLB in rWAR and 10th in fWAR.

Aaron Judge out for a while - he has a stress fracture in a rib and won't even be re-evalutated for another 4-6 weeks.

He's no MVPete, but the Yankees will still miss him.

The wind is blowing out at Wrigley today ... but apparently only for the Giants' batters.

9th in MLB in rWAR and 10th in fWAR.

Being a fast dynamic centerfielder sure helps juice that war. Legit enviable defensive player.

Though why wasn't that fly ball scored an error last night 🤔

In a shocking development, a bellicose billionaire sided with his fellow billionaires in the MLB labor situation.

From The Athletic:

Just a week into baseball's labor talks, President Donald Trump has taken a side.

The president said Friday that he supports a salary cap in Major League Baseball, aligning himself with the owners in a nascent negotiation that could grow contentious enough to cancel games next year.

"If you don't have a salary cap you don't have a sport, because they can't help themselves," Trump told reporters Friday aboard Air Force One, per audio published online by the White House. "They should have done it a long time ago."

The president added it was "shocking, frankly, that they didn't put a cap on many years ago."

Fiscal conservative wants to limit salaries.  News at 10.

So much for capitalism.
