- Cardinals being legit
- Tatis not being able to buy a homer
- White Sox being legit division winner contenders
- The AL central sucking (ties into the WS being legit division winner contenders)

What else we got?

The Giants being one of the worst teams in the league. They have a decent roster on paper.

- Cal Raleigh is terrible
.161 average
57 Ks to 7 dingers

I didn’t think he could duplicate what he did last year, but he’s been benchable most of this year.

Cubs can't lose for about 20 games, then the Cubs can't win for about 10.

This is frustrating.

Nats at .500 with the best offense in the MLB with one of the toughest schedules to date. Just took 2 of 3 from the Braves.

I’m still not 100% sold on St. Louis. Their rotation isn’t the greatest and bullpen is very inconsistent.

Jordan Walker and Elly De La Cruz are finally putting it together

It isn't a good division, but as of right now, they have two of the three wild card spots (Sox & Twins). I'd argue that the general shittiness of the AL overall is a bigger surprise.

He’s a great recruiter though. That’s a skill which really translates to be an excellent MLB manger
