Super small sample size (I'd imagine the pitch speed one is done once Degrom finally gets to play), but fun nonetheless

watching bull durham

in his first career start, nuke laloosh walks 18 batters (a new league record!) and strikes out 18 batters (a new league record!); assuming only 4 pitch walks and 3 pitch strikeouts, that’s 126 pitches in a minimum of 6 innings (he also hits two batters that we see). how many pitches did he throw? we can assume at least 150 minimum through a minimum 6 innings

also, it’s later reported he got his first career win: he won a game where he walked 18 batters? didnt get the hook at some point? who the fuck wrote this movie

Castellanos suspended two games for sparking the fight. He's appealing. Four others fined. Yet the pitcher who plunked him gets nothing (unless he was one of the unnamed fined players).

Nick appealing his suspension:

“I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith...”

That's fucking ridiculous.

Nick Castellanos punished more harshly for flexing versus the Astros players who cheated to win a World Series.

Fuck Manfred.

I remember when DeGrom came back from that surgery a few years ago and everyone was worried because he was topping out at 94-96. Insane how he's turned that shit around

Rangers have hit Bichett, Biggio and Tellez so far tonight. Trash team full of about as much garbage as the trash cans the Astros were banging on.

Colorado the new host of the all star game this year.

Also Texas Governor Greg Abbott is effectively boycotting MLB, saying he will refuse to request their teams host any games/events due to them pulling out of Atlanta

[NynJa]

Ah yes, need to open everything up in spite of covid because THE ECONOMY, but will refuse events from MLB, events that are HUGE drivers for...THE ECONOMY.

Its not like there arent 28 other cities that would be glad to host events.

Mets losing in devastating fashion right off the bat. Oof.

Tatis Jr. partially dislocated his shoulder last night striking out.

With MLB The Show now on Xbox it's probably some kind of Madden curse thing

The New York Yankees have acquired infielder Rougned Odor from the Texas Rangers.

The Rangers will receive minor league outfielders Antonio Cabello and Josh Stowers, with the Yankees also getting cash considerations in the deal.

Texas is expected to absorb almost the entirety of the $27 million owed to Odor, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan. He's due $12 million this year, $12 million in 2022 and a $3 million buyout on a $13 million club option in 2023.
