        He said he wasn’t gonna sell the team. He really should and Bill Dewitt should buy it so he’d get out of St. Louis. Not the problem there anymore.

    Ovechkin scoring 42 goals at age 39 is crazy.

        The fractured leg was also his first truly significant injury of a 20-year career. Ovechkin’s durability might be as impressive as his scoring.

      I had tickets to the last home game and @pittsburgh trying to catch it. The timing looked amazing and then he just goes on a 6 goal in 5 game tear. 9 goals in his last 11. Just insane how he doesn’t slow down.

    Look for the Dodgers to call up Esteury Ruiz to play CF and send Pages back down.

    Public Service Message: If you are a high profile major league hitter who has gotten off to a slow start this season and you’re looking for a fix, encourage your team to schedule early games against the St Louis Cardinals. Their over-priced, over 30, pitching staff will cure whatever ails you.

    So remember, for a quick turn around at the plate, play the Cardinals.

          A member of this group would know it’s the Baseball Writers Association of America.

          And that it’s an association, not an accosiation. I’m sure they all have copy editors, but this is a rather glaring mistake.

    Comments on the questions and answers……

    1, Reds fans: Cleveland looked like this the first 3/4’s of the season that Tito took over. What a mess at the beginning of the season. He remained patient and on point as to playing fundamental team baseball. They slowly got better as the year went on and made the playoffs.

    2. The Dodgers do not draft well. Only 3 of their starters were drafted: Will Smith, Dustin May, and Ben Casparius. Like the Yankees, they use the national baseball media to create the myth that their prospects are all-stars in waiting, and batch them up to find teams that want to make salary dump trades come the deadline. Remember what the Red Sox got for Mookie: Alex Verdugo, Connor Wong, and Jeter Down? All highly publicized future stars as Dodgers prospects.

    3. About the Mariners lack of bringing in impact players during the stretch run: STOP blaming the owners! (I keep pointing this out).

    All semi-contending teams seem to leave some payroll money aside to take on a salary (or salaries) as well as have some marketable prospects that they can spare. The fact that the Mariners are not prepared to do this is because the baseball head has a history signing players that had good seasons to expensive long-term contracts that he: 1) Can’t get rid of when they’re having a poor season or injured; and 2) Has spent almost all of his budget on the opening day roster. In today’s (and for the last 10 years at least) MLB contingency planning for the stretch run – as either a buyer or seller – is something that all responsible baseball ops departments should be prepared for.

      @Samuel, perhaps you should look beyond the names you nitpicked to claim the dodgers haven’t picked well and look at the amount of players they have drafted in the past years and recognize they have traded a lot of them away as well to generate the team they have. You failed to mention Kershaw, Gonsolin, Lux, Seager, Raley, Ashcraft, Bellinger, Kremer, Verdugo, Wong, White, Pop, Reks, Grove, Outman, Kolek, Busch, and Pepiot. And those are just regulars in MLB before this season drafted prior to 2020.

      They have drafted very well. Let the hate go.

        2014 Verdugo, Stewart, Ferguson. Signed Ruiz to IFA.
        2015 Buehler, Funkhouser, Calhoun, Beaty, Garlick. Signed O’Neal cruz IFA.
        2020 Knack, Miller, Beeter, Stone.
        2021 Nastrini, Casparius, Sheehan, Wrobleski

        They have drafted extremely well and have left an impact on many teams thru their drafting between trading guys and having to let guys go.

    The discussion fixates on specific positional weaknesses (outfield, pitching) or individual slumps, yet no one addresses the compounding effect of decision latency—the delay between identifying a problem and executing a solution. In a 162-game season, where each game represents roughly 0.62% of the total outcome, even a 10-game delay in optimizing a roster or strategy could shift a team’s win probability by 6-10 games over a season, often the difference between playoffs and irrelevance.

        It just means how long it takes a team to fix a problem after they see it

    It is sad that the Red Sox actually have a great offense. They only had lefties to start the offseason. Now their lineup is only 3 lefties. Tell me what happened.
