MLB 2026 (1 Viewer)

It comes as no surprise that Fernando Tatis Jr.’s HR and power numbers have continued to drop since his suspension for PEDs.

He pumped up his stats to score a huge contract within the early years being financially limited in case of a suspension.

Thus when he was suspended he only lost about $3mil of the huge $340mil that was based on his steroid inflated numbers.

Through 48 games in 2026 he has 0 home runs while collecting $20mil per year.
 
Phillies lost last 4 of 6. I have to believe they are just a .500 club now. Heard they are still looking for right handed outfielder, they had one, Harrison Bader ,he hit 2 grand slams this week.

I don't see my Phillies making it this year but they have been my team since 1964 and I will stick with them. The sad thing about them is on paper they seem to have the talent but they are just not putting it all together.

I feel the same way about the Giants. I am still watching their games and reading their box scores.

I have resigned myself to their limits based on how much ownership is willing to spend.

They have put together a really good team within their $220mil budget.

However there is no way they can compete with the Dodger’s $420mil payroll.

Give 'em time under Mattingly, Marc. They need to get their offense going, and the bullpen, too.

Prost!

Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski just threw 57 pitches over 100moh in a game.

And people wonder why so many young pitchers have arm surgery.
 
The Phil’s Christopher Sanchez’s numbers in May are insane.

39 scoreless innings with 45 strikeouts and only 3 walks.

I know MLB gets hung up on stats but that is beyond impressive.
 
The MLB season is long yet it seems to go by so fast.

The league is already over 50 games into their season yet opening day feels like it was just yesterday.
 
Interesting stat that the players and owners should pay attention to:

The World Series ratings are down 50% from what they were since the last strike in 1994.
 
Still lots of baseball left but for now the American League clearly has the more compelling pennant race.

Every division has a second place team at least 2.5 games out of first.

Meanwhile in the NL the closet second place team is 5 games out of first.

Once again, the Babylon Bee nails it...........

U.S. — To improve efficiency with their time management, sports journalists covering Major League Baseball announced that they would now only report on any free agents the Los Angeles Dodgers do not sign to their team.

A new industry mandate from ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and other major publications encouraged their sports writers to stop reporting on players signed by the Dodgers because the team, with its enormous budget, was signing pretty much everyone and consuming everyone's time as they attempted to keep up with the news.

"It'll save us a ton of time," said sports columnist Mike Shaman. "We can't keep up with all the roster changes the Dodgers are making. They are signing and acquiring so many players, they've already spent more than the entire national debt. Every time we finish reporting a story about them signing one player, we find out they've signed another one."

Journalists were expected to report on other teams as normal because the number of players they were signing paled in comparison to the Dodgers, who sign so many players that if each one were written about in detail, not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.

"It would actually be dangerous if everyone knew about every player signing the Dodgers made," Shaman explained. "Not only would reporters not have time for anything else, but the economy would collapse from everyone having to take the time to keep up with the news. It would be anarchy."

At publishing time, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred had gone ahead and preemptively called the 2026 World Series for the Dodgers to save time.

Leverage your strength is what the Dodgers are doing.

Exceptfor Yankee fans everyone else hates them. Congratulations the Dodgers have joined their ranks.

Go Dodgers! Enjoy it while it last until the owners:
- Lock down costs
- Maximize profits
- Increase Team resell value (due to increased profits)

All under the guise of equalizing competitiveness and appeaseing fans anger. After all, its all about the fans right? Maybe its a bigger problem, lack poor ownership and incompetent front offices.

Oh by the way, anyone see how high the Dodger prospects are rated. Maybe, its just not more money for free agents.

Again, GO DODGERS!

The Phillies need outfield help and the pitching staff needs starting and bullpen help, they are thin. Not many prospects in the minor leagues.
