Well it ain’t three hr’s, but he’s 3-3 with a walk in the 6th inning. Possibility of one more chance

Surprisingly, Stanton's never done it; Cabrera, a couple of times.

Based on the way they are playing now, I would not count the Braves out at all. They look like the strongest NL contender to win the pennant.
Sorry, I must've misunderstood your post, I was just talking about teams that should be in the hunt to make the postseason.

Happy Bobby Bonilla Day!
Braves are picking up where last night left off, have scored 6 so far in the first with one out.

Padres DFAed Nelson Cruz, RIP Nelly, I’ll always remember the time you hit a solo shot in game 5 2010 WS to rob Tim Lincecum of a scoreless outing. In all seriousness, I’d like if the Mariners could pick him up, the DH situation has been bad and he would be an upgrade on at least two of the spots there.

Six walks against 46 K's, he's not catching up to anything, he's gotta be done.
That said, his career was 1000X better than I would have ever expected, late bloomer low-OBP sluggers with poor defense is not a recipe for aging well, but he kept improving and was a lot more productive in his 30's than in his 20's. He hit 464 HR's, had a reputation as a winner and a respected locker room leader, and was still mashing into his early 40's.

some of these guys are definitely having good seasons but it's getting kinda silly isn't it? at the very least, if players are going to keep bowing out at the rate they are, there's no reason for each team to have 6 additional roster spots anymore.

Only difference really was that Nico was playing 2B in London - he had to range the other way.

Yeah he did well there, Dansby is back on Sunday from the IL, but that drops for a hit otherwise

Was not sure where to put this but Awful Announcing has released The 2023 MLB local broadcaster rankings:

― Bee OK, Tuesday, 18 July 2023 18:18 (one year ago) link
The Giants broadcast being ranked #1 is no surprise as they are usually the winner. I'm pleasantly surprised as I didn't know they were that well regarded. It's funny to me that they are #1 and don't even mention the best part of the booth, Jon Miller.

Honestly think the ability of the Sox to light up aces with a couple of exceptions and get stymied by journeymen with 5+ ERAs is incredibly funny.A non-exhaustive list of good SPs destroyed by the Sox this season:- Luis Castillo, 5 ER in 5 IP- Gausman (at Fenway), 8 ER in 3.1 IP- Snell, 6 ER in 4 IPHanded Gerrit Cole his first loss of the season, hit guys like Glasnow & Giolito hard even when they couldn’t string runs together. Think only Joe Ryan & Stroman were on the level of high-ERA guys playing for sub-.500 teams that have successfully shut them down.
