I typically keep it all sports on here and don't get personal, but I've had so many people tell me how moved they were by my brother's funeral service that I feel the need to share in hopes that it might impact one of your lives for the better. vimeo.com/916273116?shar…

Grant Holmes complained of elbow soreness on the pitch before the line drive that hit him in the 4th. He will be placed on the IL with elbow tightness and evaluated further.

It’s like Iggy and Ozuna don’t want to get traded so they keep tanking their value on purpose.

That’s a single and two base error if I’ve ever seen one!

It won’t let retweet this a third time, so I’ll have to quote tweet it.

That stroke by MH2…

I’ve seen Bo Bichette make a couple of high level plays at SS the past two nights. Small sample of watching, but he looks good to me there. AA, get the checkbook ready.

Skubal was jacked up there! He’s fun to watch. Also, Jake Rogers has already made 2 potential game-savings plays in this fun game.

Of note here, this is Nacho Alvarez’s first appearance at second base at any level this season.

Johnny's back!! Prior to today's game, we have reinstated INF John Gil from the 7-Day IL. In addition, OF Luis Guanipa has been placed on the Temporarily Inactive List.

FINAL: Rangers 8, Braves 3 A very frustrating loss and I don't really have words, but me and @ShortStopBall are going to go LIVE over on @LockedOnATL and @LockedOn_Braves to try and figure it out. Join us for a therapy session, won't you? youtube.com/live/XZiT0h-Ur…

This offense is so fun. I love watching it so much. It’s not painful at all.

Adolis really wanted a chance to show off his cannon on Acuña there.

Still no Kelenic…

No, Jesse Chavez is not a legitimate managerial replacement for next year. Let's get ahead on that one. But it would not be shocking to see him in the org somewhere.

MOCK TRADE THURSDAY We'll be discussing some mock trades on the podcast tonight. Send us your best and @ShortStopBall will review some of them on the show.

Noooooo!!! Now we’re left with a beat writer who attacks any fan that tries to question him and one that doesn’t know when a bad joke has gone too far. You’ll be missed.

Justin Verlander (5IP 1H 0R 5BB 3K) worked around 5 walks to pick up his first win of the season for the @SFGiants. His curveball was a big reason why and was our SP pitch of the day

How Max Fried has had such a great year with that Yankees infield defense is amazing. I’ve watched the Yankees past six games now and it is dreadful.
