So the Rockies may want to reconsider the name of their mascot.

That little saga on reddit (and I'm assuming most social media) was amazing.

People calling for the dude to be banned for life from all sporting events and whatnot and nope, dude was just yelling at a polka dot dinosaur

Royals player just got clobbered in the face from a grounder that took a huge hop.

No wonder Boone lost his shit yesterday

God the NL East is a shit hole. Going into today, they are the only Division without a team with at least 60 wins. Every other division except the AL Central has a minimum of two teams. And the AL East has 4.

Mets fucking imploded and are gonna miss the postseason too. Absolutely no one is going to get a WC from that division. It’s win or bust.

[Krandor]

Well yeah, all the NL wild cards are gonna be scooped by whoever doesn't win the NL West

[archibaldcrane]

Reds still have an outside chance but yeah probably

Who would’ve thought the NL West would be led by the giants in august with a respectable lead going into the season?

Feels like every time I tune into one of their division games between SF, LAD, and SD it’s a ridiculous back and forth.

Dodgers subreddit has been a literal salt mine this year, including an awesome copy pasta the giants subreddit has been using now about how the Giants are a bad team that just wins games.

The Giants being this fucking good still really doesn't make any sense, but the sample size is so large now that it can't be ignored.

The only logical explanation is that 2020 MLB didn't count and this falls under the purview of EYBS, which has the added bonus of meaning the Dodgers didn't win shit

Cubs and Arrieta gave up 7 on like 11 hits in the top of the first. If they lose this.. WHICH THEY WILL!! it will be 9 straight loses at home.

Corbin BURNES just tied an all-time MLB record, striking out 10 straight batters in this game. Only the 3rd player ever to do it.

[archibaldcrane]

11 Ks through 51 pitches so far.
