Also with all the baseball trade rumors going on I really do hope the Braves can get some reliable bullpen help that isn't Kevin Gregg.

Still waiting for that reliable bullpen help.

It took me a minute to figure out that a 2025 Kevin Gregg reference wasn't someone just being a quirky chungus.

I guess I can't give a to someone quoting their dozen year old OP.

Also, please let the Brewers go on a losing streak so my Cubs can lead the NL Central.

The Royals are calling up 45 year old Rich Hill from the minors making him the oldest player in the majors once again. Here's his minors stats this year look at that age difference!
Also in geezer news the Phillies signed David Robertson.

Those K numbers are pretty impressive, particularly at AAA Omaha against actual competition.

The 2 dingers per 9 though suggest Father Time is going to remind him that he's way past due.

I wouldn't expect him to last long on a contender but KC is under .500 and could be sellers so they just need somebody to pitch innings. If he has a few good starts they may even sell Rich.

Bitch Hill is back in action? I guess we really are in clown world.

Hey, if you can swing it...

Jamie Moyer lasted till he was like 50, and facing what, 10% of organized baseball players in history? And he threw only 70-80 mph.

Yeah, they're probably folding this season. Detroit has run away with the AL Central.

Thumbnail your embeds, nigga.

Tangentially related in terms of ticky tack calls, I hope at some point down the road they officially do away with the whole Replay "keep the tag on a baserunner in case he comes off the bad for a millisecond during a slide and a close play" BS.

It's minute BS that is against the spirit of the rules.

If you manage to attain the bag safely, you shouldn't be called out on replay for losing contact for a fraction of a second on slo-mo video.

Change the rules so that it requires obvious intent to proceed to the next base or some sort of minimum threshold of distance or time required to be disengaged with the base that would make it official that you've become disengaged.

George Springer got called out after advancing to third standing up on a live XBH about a month ago because he was standing on the 3rd base bag and did a little hop directly up & down as a hyperactive celebration. And was called out on replay, recording the 3rd out of the inning.

Instant replay and it’s consequences have been a disaster for Western sports
