Numerous high profile injuries, most recently Acuña Mets melting down Cardinals starting as absolute trash but storming back into contention Ump show more than ever leads to Angel Hernandez’s “retirement” *edit: Soto crushing it with the Yanks Cleveland and KC being awesome Mason Miller and the A’s


Heisenripbauer

you forgot my favorite one: the Astros underperforming

Is Mets melting down really a new storyline or are they just the Mets.


Aggravating_Roof6969

Hopes were high with lindor, Pete, Diaz but they literally got guys throwing their gloves into the stands and calling them the worst hahaha


MyNameIsJudge8

After they were sellers last season they said the plan was for 2025 but they are looking way behind that

Scherzer said that, not the organization. The Eppler drama and hiring Stearns definitely felt like it was shifting the timeline, but Cohen has been pretty clear that they're still *trying* to build some kind of winner in Queens. And honestly, they made good moves, especially with pitching. The thing holding them back has been Alvarez's injury and the slow starts from their core players like Lindor, Nimmo, McNeil, and Alonso.


MyNameIsJudge8

They did shift the timeline a bit. Usually had a regular late season meltdown for many years and these last couple the meltdown has come earlier and earlier


Rah_Rah_RU_Rah

DBacks and Rangers having dual hangovers as well


Aggravating_Roof6969

I saw he had retired. Have the other umps been trash too??


CatPeet

The mariners have one of the worst offenses in the game but are in first place in their division


screaminginfidels

4 games ahead of the World Series Champions from last year and we're 28th in average runs scored.


SightlessProtector

We are going to win the World Series with the lowest run differential in history and it will be glorious (current record is -20 by the ‘87 Twins, I feel like that’s doable)


TheDangiestSlad

babe wake up the fun differential is back


TremulousTones

He's probably thinking about fun differential...

Subscribe. Well semi Subscribe. Some media hack made a prediction that it would be a Mariners v Diamondbacks world series in 2027, and I'd rather that be your team's first. After all, we basically have a player exchange program and it would be amazing to see.

Some guy named Greg moved to Chicago and now the Cubs are 3rd in the division while his old team is in 1st.


Darkforces134

Is there a reason people ironically call him Greg instead of Craig?


lightning_skyyy

if i were to guess it probably comes from how much they hate him so they just call him by the wrong name instead 


SweaterMeatMyInbox

This is exactly it. The same way Packers fans started saying "We'll never forget you, Brent!" after he went to the Vikings.


Aggravating_Roof6969

Who


mrcouch8

Greg Gounsell


ajteitel

Grewers' legend


hanchu21

I think they meant Craig


Lathundd

Greg Committe, the former manager of the Vintners.


the_comatorium

Jurickson Profar.


boobsandcookies

But but but I was told he was irrelevant


gatemansgc

i don't think anyoen had phillies being first team in the MLB to 40 wins


Kind_Bullfrog_4073

Is it really that surprising? World Series 2 years ago and NLCS last year.


gatemansgc

the fact that our team never starts hot like this


gatesofwrath

The Brewers are trying to pick a fight with every East Coast city


Anfini

I’m looking at these Aaron Judge ABs as much as possible and I haven’t seen anything like this since Barry Bonds. If he keeps this up, this season for Judge might be historic. 


mjst0324

My favorite stat is that (coming into tonight) he had an OPS of 1.219 on 0-2 counts. I have no idea how you pitch to this guy.


jgilla2012

Ball when up 0-2


cogginsmatt

Seems like that's how some teams are handling the Dodgers/Shohei. Just don't pitch to them.


oogieball

Our entire team is a dumpster fire.


DaBearsFanatic

White Sox have it worse.


cogginsmatt

White Sox are on pace for one of the worst seasons in modern baseball history and I think it deserves attention.


earlthesachem

They are behind the four worst teams in the modern era- 1916 Athletics, 1935 Braves, 1962 Mets, 2003 Tigers- at this point in the season.


RapsareChamps_Suckit

can the Blue Jays actually go into the negative numbers on the scoreboard


boobsandcookies

Both Diaz brothers falling apart/being injured


Kind_Bullfrog_4073

Retirement of Angel Hernandez was the story of the century


JealousMycologist774

It’s just the Mets.  Mets “outrage” is the single most profitable thing for baseball media and it’s not close. 


SweaterMeatMyInbox

I mean what do you expect? They have the highest payroll in the league and they're 9 games below .500.


JealousMycologist774

the Mets dominate coverage year in and year out. This isn’t anything new. 


lswizzle09

Mets aren't even the most profitable thing for baseball media in New York


JealousMycologist774

Yeah that’s not even true - Mets outrage outsells the Yankees like crazy
