ask not for whom the bell tolls
it tolls for the mets (every year, eventually)

Any reports of Rendon going to the IL is more or less a footnote to more pressing news

I forgot who said it but it’s so true. You never know when Rendon is off the IL until you hear he’s back on it.

This. I saw the tweet and first thing in my mind was, "He wasn't on the IL?"

[synistar]

I feel like most non Angels fans only know Rendon is off IL when they announce he's going back on to it

Yea this was about a month ago lol

[Krandor]

Rendon is up there with Daniel Jones and Deshaun Watson as the kings of securing the bag and then not doing a goddamn thing

[Xno Kappa]

It’s right in front of us.

Javier Baez would like a word.

[Krandor]

Baez has played in way more games then those guys have, he just sucks.

Rendon has averaged like 50 games a season since he signed with the Angels in 2020

[Mertron]

the white sox have lost again

there are 16 games left. they need to go .500 (8-8) to avoid tying/breaking the record for most losses in a season by a modern team. the only teams worse would be teams from the 1800s

i do not think they will go 8-8.

Baez has been so bad he may as well have been on the IL since he signed that contract in Detroit. I'm willing to bet without looking Rendon still has a higher WAR than Baez does since they both signed those contracts.

[Krandor]

I'm bored so I checked, Baez only became a negative WAR player in this season

Since 2020 (when Rendon signed with the Angels) Baez has had 0.8, 2.7, 3.5, 2.4, 0.6, -1.2 (8.8 in total)

In that same period Rendon has accumulated 3.5 WAR (that's counting the 2.2 he pulled off in his first season with the Angels, the last 4 season have been 0, 0.9, 0.1, 0.4)

Well, shit.

Francis Bowden is once again carrying a no-hitter into the top of the 8th inning, this time against the Mets.

[Obsidian]

For the second time in 4 starts, Bowden Francis is carrying a no-hitter into the top of the 9th.

[Obsidian]

For the second time in 4 starts, Francis Bowden has had his no-hitter broken up in the 9th inning by a home run from the first batter he faced.

[Melena]

I just looked at his box score, and 8 hitless innings with only 1 walk and 1 strikeout. That's a lot of contact for a near no hitter.

[Mertron]

and it was a 1-0 game, rip
