If the stuff ends up half as good as the stache, we’re clearly looking at baseball’s next big thing – I mean, just imagine the package the Pirates will get for him in four years! Read the rest of this entry »

Elly De La Cruz – electronic cheater:

Removing the tongue that generally stays cheek-planted, Elly De La Cruz didn’t cheat at anything. The murder of a baseball? Yes. But the electronic swing tracker attached to his bat that briefly caused some controversy doesn’t have anything to do with how EDLC is positively lighting the baseball world on fire. After going 3-for-6 last night with two doubles, a steal, and the above homicide, De La Cruz is now slashing .318/.356/.536 over his first 118 PA, with 4 HR, 25 R, 14 RBI, and 11 SB. Again, in just 28 games and at 21 years old.

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 »
