tl;dr

I'm having a hard time getting invested right now. I think because there are no Hawks and then there really isn't THAT much drama. The NBA really missed a chance here to have the top team in each league have a bye, then have the remaining 28 have a winner takes all tournament to determine the last 14 teams. Imagine the drama if after these games, the Celtics and Hawks were playing a winner takes all game to decide who makes the playoffs. This would have been the perfect year to experiment with it.

Help me out a little... is that good when 9 of your relievers perform like that? And the guy who might be the best one isn’t even here yet?

The freaking Mets. THE HORRIBLY RUN METS. Have 2 WS appearances this millennium whereas we have 1 playoff series win under our belt. Life ain't fair

I could completely understand if Cespedes wanted to opt out. I get why Cain wanted to do so. But the way he did it was just awful. Don’t just leave without a trace like that. Technically there is nothing wrong with that I guess. But it’s just extremely unprofessional

Shane Greene has been a very good addition overall.

It appears Pete Alonso, who should not have won ROY over Mike Soroka, is angry

He about blew it right there. He's definitely a RFer

That's how you do it. He's gotta stop the walks and he will be ight.

You can see it with Wright. I just think he needs the confidence.

Anyone checked here? I hear they have very good wings...

I think Chip said it yesterday that Riley should be talking Dansby about hitting. He's a prime example of someone who took some time to get it together, but has really put it together now. His average was .251 last year, but I think we can all agree that didn't show the entire picture. Don't think he's on a Baez or Turner level right now, but he's definitely underrated if you ask me. Give me the option to have Machado or Swanson and I'm taking Swanson (assuming we take their current contracts into account).

Good job fighting through that Wright. He's got it and I believe in him. Keep it up. Need him to go at least 5 today.

Albies out with some wrist soreness, but is available if needed today.

That's true, but his bat is just awful. It takes him too long to heat up and we don't have that luxury this season.

Pretty much if we can find one more SP, I love where we stand. We have a very good lineup (only going to get better if Markakis comes back, because let's face it: Markakis>Ender), a good bench, a very good BP, and 2 very good starters. If we can find that 3rd SP, we are going to be scary come the playoffs. Whether that's Hamels, Wright, Touki, or someone else, we need a 3rd dependable guy
