Spoken like someone who didn't watch last season, as we slowly and steadily crept up on a team who was hotter than the surface of the sun the first two months, and bypassed them for the division.  

Different team.

need to get the pitch count up

Skydome looks like such a relic now.

Mullins robbed by perfect positioning. That sucks.

MLB should put all the riches teams in their own division to make it fair.

I think MLB is not happy if the Yankees or the Redsox are not in the World Series.  They like the Dodgers and Mets and would be over joyed with a Subway series or a Yankees vs Dodgers series.  

They probably cringe when Tampa Bay or Arizona gets in.  What kind of national attention will they draw?  None.

MLB should do much more revenue sharing like the NFL does but that probably won’t happen either.

Are you suggesting that on June 5th, 2023 when the Rays were 43-19 and we were 39-20 and 4.5 games back you knew the Rays weren't a good team?

definitely different...Soto is raking...Gil is dealing, and they'll get Cole back...plus Judge is healthy and crushing the ball now..so is Stanton...

[Hallas]

I'm not sure how I feel about batted balls up the middle being 5-3 or 6-3 grounders or lineouts.  I guess something has to give if you're going to ban shifts but it still kind of feels bad.

Hey, ease up on Phil. Opera was a priority.

It closed out an era. Camden Yards opened a few years later.

Then they lost 3/5 of their rotation. If the Yankees rotation stays healthy they can avoid the Rays' fate.

[Moose Milligan]

Would a more capable RFer had that?

The O's are heating up, too.

New Cominsky Park also was a dud.   Camden put it to shame so much they have  been remodeling it off and on ever since.
