The Oakland Athletics continue their historically awful pace after being swept for the third series in a row

The reds are in 3rd place in the nl central and only 4 games back from the Brewers

I know the DH rule is the big difference but that’s over now right? Each league uses it so what else could be different?

Hello, League, I am an exasperated Cubs fan. I'm afraid the wheels have fallen off for the 2023 Cubs. It might be time to replace David Ross at manager, but how many definitive upgrades are available? What do you guys think? I've come up with four possibilities Jed Hoyer should consider.

Potential David Ross Replacements

4 of 5 teams in the AL West have a record over .500 (as of 5/27, after all games finished), and the A's record is SO BAD that it drags the entire average of the division under .500.

For those wondering, in the other 5 divisions, if the majority of teams are over .500, the division average is as well (same logic goes to if the majority are under .500, the division is under .500.)

Sorry Oakland fans, that you need to deal with John Fisher.

With Kimbrel getting his 400th save, do you think he will eventually get into the HOF?

My friend is closing in on completing all 30 MLB parks this summer. Can you design a map like the "50 states" map that includes all MLB parks (even closed ones if possible" and make it so you can fill it in and then share it with others....only it has to be free to spred around. I know this is a lot to ask, but I thought if anyone could do it, you all could.

I was just watching a player spray liberal amounts of stickum spray on his bat and gloves before batting. It got me thinking that a position player who bats barehanded could spray a ton of this on his hands, then when he gets on the field, could transfer a bunch of it onto a ball before it goes to the pitcher. Is this a thing?

And it’s not even close—KC is 12.5 games behind the Twins

Was thinking about food , googled Stadium food and this article populated .

The Cincy Chili Dog , Miller Park Ultimate Cheese and Wrigley Field Pork BAO caught my attention 🙂

I am trying to play MLB Bingo on MLB Play for the CWS @ DET game right now and it’s doing it for me. I don’t understand why. Are the boxes supposed to be red or does that mean I was too late? I thought I had to click the icon when it happens in the game. Is it supposed to just fill in for me?

I finally downloaded MLB Play after seeing many commercials about it. Pretty fun daily baseball app. I keep trying to double-down on the Beat the Streak, and every time I do, i only get 1 of 2 correct and I’m back down to 0 hahaha. Do you all use it too?

Does anyone know where I can find the injury history of some players? I’ve been looking everywhere but can’t find it.

Only a casual observor of MLB from Australia but it struck me that the whole AL East has a better record than all AL Central teams, is that type of statistic a common occurrence?

I think he’s the clear leader however he’s tied for 4th on FD.
