This Diaz injury is brutal. Not just b/c of him as a player or what this means for the Mets but it just opens up so many anti-WBC takes. We just had arguably the most electric game that's ever been played in March in the HISTORY OF THE SPORT. A freak accident shouldnt ruin that.

That ball was 110.8 mph off the bat of Kerry Carpenter.
That's the hardest hit ball Emmanuel Clase has given up IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER.

Alex Bregman's 3 run shot yesterday would've been a HR in 25 stadiums including Yankee Stadium.
Aaron Judge's flyout to RF would've only been a HR in Yankee Stadium.

Yesterday, a 10 year old kid came up to me in the Pirates team store:
“Bowie Baysox?” he said, pointing to my Baysox shirt. “Minor league team for the Orioles?”
I nodded, shocked.
“I play against them in The Show”
Never underestimate the power of video games.

Believe it or not, July’s best performer was not Aaron Judge.
It was Austin Riley.
Led all qualified hitters in July in wOBA, wRC+, AVG, SLG and WAR.

Five years ago, I was selling hot dogs for a living.
This week I was on MLBNetwork and had work I made and helped make featured in two concurrent ESPN broadcasts.
I am truly so damn grateful to you all.

I’ll say one thing about the 3-0 HR:

HRs Allowed will not come up in arbitration for Astudillo.

Yes. Mike Trout RAISED his AVG from .426 to .431 today.
YES. He's now slashing .431/.538/.815 on the year
BUT. Albert Pujols still has more SB than him.

This Yennier Cano change-up looks like a glitch. This pitch is ...so damn good.
That's now 5.2 IP with a 0.00 WHIP.
Yennier Cano is quickly becoming a reliever to know.
He's yet to give up a hit in his first 45 pitches thrown and his sinker is... insane.
18.3" of Horizontal Break (average is 6.7"!)
-32.2" of Vertical Break (average is -23)

This is Ronald Acuña's league-leading 36th ball hit with an exit velocity over 110 mph.
That is more than 23 teams.
Not players.
FULL TEAMS.
h/t to the Braves broadcast for this remarkable stat.

Luis Castillo is going from the 2nd worst pitching park to arguably the best and from one of the worst defenses in baseball to a top 10 defense (by statcast).
Nice upgrade for him and the Mariners.

Zelda Ann Fast was born April 8th at 3:08pm PT in the top of the ninth inning of the Orioles Opening Day game.
Though she had to spend a few scary days in the NICU, Zelda - which means Strong Woman - is now at home, happy and healthy.

I don’t think I’ve seen many games this season where Ronald Acuña Jr wasn’t the most electric person on the field.
But, holy hell is Elly De La Cruz something
