Within a couple points of OPS he posted in 2019

Hasn't gotten hot with the bat since 2018

You do realize that Manny had a .950 OPS and was 3rd in the MVP voting last year, right?   Whether Manny’s contract will turn out to be worth it won’t be decided until we see how he holds up in the back half of the deal, but for now he’s doing just fine.

Sunday night at 8 MLB Network's The Sounds of Baseball has a new episode featuring Jon Miller.

Thanks Dog, I recorded this when you posted it here, and it sat around on my DVR until this afternoon.   Just watched it.  Very enjoyable.   But it makes me angry too, just reminds me of how good Jon was at what he does and how we have been deprived of a quarter century of being able to listen to him.

The Marlins sent a minor league pitcher and cash considerations to Tampa for David Hess, who had been in the minors for TB.

And the Marlins immediately promoted Hess to the majors.

And Hess gets the win over the big bad Dodgers! (While also picking up a blown save.)

Manny Machado is 29 years old today.  Seems like yesterday he was debuting in the majors for us at age 20.

He's been on fire ever since that poster said he was overrated.

Sounds like he'd fit right in for us.  Now is the time to bring him back.

I think he's got another season or two before he gets to the Non-roster invitee status of washed up the Orioles target.

Good point.  He'll be another Harvey/Felix.

I think one of his injuries with us was a hammy.  And it lingered a good long while.
