MLB season 2025

You probably answered your own question. Reminds me of Trevor Bauer to a degree. He still thinks he's blackballed because of the sexual assault case(s) he got cleared of, but the real reason is he was a f*cking headache in the locker room. That's part of the reason he started vlogging and posting on YouTube. One was extra income and to push his brand, but the other was to show "Hey MLB, I'm a great locker room guy. Look at my stints in the Japanese and Mexican leagues."

Sometimes teams just don't want to deal with the drama if it's affecting the team.

Maybe locker room guy wasn't the best choice of words. The guys in the locker room loved him.

He and GM Craig Breslow didn't get along. So much so, that Rafy wouldn't even call him by name. He would just call him "the GM"

We've seen several situations before where a star player and a GM butt heads, but they don't move the player after some disagreement. There must've been more going on behind the scenes where Breslow pulled the trigger to get Rafy out of town.

Cool, they get some starting pitching and a prospect, but you can't replicate the production that Devers gave.

This is the sign that the Sox have given the keys to the young guys, Bello, Mayer, and Anthony.

The Pittsburgh Pirates and Detroit Tigers will have their aces on the mound Thursday, though apparently not in the same game.

The teams will play a doubleheader in Detroit due to a Wednesday rainout.

Unless the managers change their minds overnight, the day game will feature Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, while Pirates ace Paul Skenes will go in the nightcap

How fvckin dumb is it when you have a rare chance to have probably the 2 best pitchers in the game face off against each other (as competitors, they'd probably like that) but it's not going to happen. MLB should've reached out and ask the teams to do it. Makes zero sense not for it to happen.

What about the season Cal Raleigh is having? Raleigh broke Hall of Famer Johnny Bench's 1970 record for home runs by a catcher before the All-Star break, hitting his major-league-leading 28th and 29th in the Seattle Mariners' 9-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Friday. The team record for the Mariner's is held by Ken Griffey Jr. at 30, 33, and 35. The Mariner's have 22 games left before the all-star break.

He’s doing that with the bat but top of that he’s among the best (if not THE best) catchers in the league. If Judge wasn’t doing stupid things it’d be as clear as MVP seasons get.

Some people will give him the nod and deservingly so. Catcher is the hardest position to play in baseball.

No doubt. And there's also a mental aspect to it that the stat sheet and eye test can't capture.

However, Judge is having a truly historic season. Historic things tend to get MVP in baseball.

MILWAUKEE -- — Jacob Misiorowski pitched five no-hit innings before leaving his major league debut with cramping in his right calf and quadriceps as the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 6-0 on Thursday night.

Misiorowski (1-0) slipped on the front part of the mound after throwing his third pitch of the sixth. After medical staff went to check on him, he was removed in favor of Nick Mears.

The 6-foot-7 right-hander finished his dominant debut with five strikeouts and four walks while reaching a maximum velocity of 102.2 mph with his fastball.

Misiorowski threw 14 pitches at least 100 mph. Coming into the game, all Brewers starters had combined for eight pitches 100 mph or more under pitch tracking that began in 2008, according to mlb.com.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Jacob Misiorowski took a perfect game into the seventh inning of his second career start, Christian Yelich drove in a career-high and franchise-record eight runs, and the Milwaukee Brewers scored 16 times in the final four innings to beat the Minnesota Twins 17-6 on Friday night.

Misiorowski became the first pitcher to start his big league career with 11 consecutive hitless innings as a starter since 1900. He threw five no-hit innings against St. Louis on June 12, but left in the sixth with cramping in his right calf and quadriceps.

The 6-foot-7 right-hander struck out six with a fastball topping out at 102.1 mph and a slider and changeup in the mid-90s.

Misiorowski (2-0) walked Byron Buxton to start the seventh inning and Matt Wallner followed by lofting an 0-1 pitch into the flower bed above the right field wall. Waller's launch angle was 44 degrees.

After the homer, Misiorowski was pulled for reliever Nick Mears and left to a standing ovation from a crowd that included thousands of Brewers fans.

[Hey Yo]

Yelich had bases-clearing doubles in the seventh and eighth innings and RBI singles in the sixth and ninth. He became the first player since RBIs became an official stat in 1920 to drive in at least eight runs without a homer, according to OptaSTATS.

Cal Raleigh did it again. Hit number 30 today. He's the first switch-hitter ever to reach 30 homers before the All-Star break. Only four other switch-hitters ever had 29 before the break.

Also today he became only fourth catcher ever in MLB history to have at least 30 homeruns in a three seasons for their career for a catcher joining Pizza, Bench and Campanella. Pizza did it nine times. Bench and Camp did it four times.

That makes him even more impressive. I didn't know he was a switch hitter, plays catcher and is one of the better defensive catchers in the league.

Also have to consider that he’s going this at Safeco, which is currently THE pitchers park in baseball. His home/road splits bare that out.

I listen to Talkin’ Baseball fairly regularly. Best baseball podcast there is in my opinion.

The man is on a tear. If he keeps this up and the Mariners slide into first and the Yankees keep struggling he could challenge Judge for MVP.
