Arreaz is having a slow start for him - imagine batting .300 and being disrespected? he'll end up batting .325-335. I have no idea who these clowns are that got traded for him but Arraez has won 2 batting titles and will prob end up with 4-5.



not a good fielder comparing him to other 2nd basemen. As far hitting...best singles hitter in the last 20-25 yrs to come up.

Like Texas minus 1.5 runs tonight. Usually AL teams at a disadvantage going into Coors. Not sure if thats the case here. Jon Gray makes his return to Denver, and he has several decent seasons there, so he won't be intimidated. And Corey Seager? He used to make 3 trips a year to Denver. He's licking his chops waiting to get into the batters box.

He didn't live up to the hype. Sure 7 strikeouts in 4 innings and 101 velocity. But his command didn't look good. 2 walks, a hit batter and several other 3 ball counts. Toss in the 6 hits given up and that's 9 baserunners in 4 innings. That won't cut it.

with this skenes pitcher. I wonder why they moved him to the majors before june 1. In the past they moved players later to keep players on the team longer.

The Angels have gone 6-16 since hitting the .500 mark. That current lineup might be the worst in baseball. Thank goodness Pillar turned out to be a decent pickup.

Been a Phillies fan for over 68 years…learned not to get excited about some great starts…but never have I seen the starting pitching this good….long way to go…

I have UNDER 71.5 on them this season. Too early to call it a W but trending very nicely

My concern is the division is pretty weak. I wouldn’t have bet this if I thought the top three teams took a step back for various reasons.

I thought Texass/Asstros/Mariners would take the T2 spots and Angels would fade in mid-season........like they always do

Trot missing a significant part of the season helps my cause

He lived up to it today. 9 baserunners in 4 innings last week, no hit 1 walk in 6 innings so far.

Remember Alex Manoah? Big rookie season in 2022 for Toronto. Something happened last year and he couldn’t find the strike zone. Today was his second straight strong start; 7 innings 1 hit allowed and 1 walk.

The cubs bats sure went silent this month. They will need to add some power, dont see it coming from Michael Busch.

I look at this Royals lineup and scratch my head how they're doing it...it must be the pitching,

Good news for Braves fans, Chris Sale looks as dominant as he's ever been
Bad news for Braves fans, Acuna left the game with a non contact injury apparently to his knee, don't want to speculate, but the non contact injuries are typically the worst
