On this hallowed day of pre-4th, I humbly ask that we officially stop mentioning Shohei Ohtani in the same sentence as that hot-dog-eating bum who struck out a bunch of longshoremen and probably would’ve wet his giant knickers upon seeing a slider.
These things are not the same: Read the rest of this entry »
Running towards the weekend like:
José Ramírez is just the 8th player in AL/NL history to steal home in extra innings.

I was busy – did anything cool happen last night?
27 up. 27 down.
The 24th perfect game in AL/NL history belongs to Domingo Germán. pic.twitter.com/SyUJb0cKm6

Domingo Germán had that sticky-icky stuff on Wednesday but instead of leaving it on his fingers, this time he used it to roll up the A’s and smoke ‘em in a primo outing. A perfect outing, one might even say. Germán struck out nine batters over the 24th perfect game in MLB history and I’m sure his fantasy owners were all totally starting him – he did, after all, allow a total of 15 ER in his previous two starts. No word on whether the perfecto will eventually be stricken from the record via Goo Gone. Read the rest of this entry »

Good grief, Ronald:
461 feet to dead center! 😳 pic.twitter.com/NeWrriJJeV

With that mammoth blast (his second of the double-header), Ronald Acuña Jr. became just the second player (J.D. Martinez) in the Statcast era to hit a home run over 460 feet to dead center at Comerica Park. Acuña Jr. is now slashing .333/.405/.580 over 311 PA, with 15 HR, 59 R, 44 RBI, and 29(!) SB. Also, it is June.
Just a friendly reminder that he’s somehow still just 25 years old. Read the rest of this entry »
