For any Giants players that recently got called up this is just a few more Triple A home games but with an MLB paycheck.

Looking at the schedule all line up geographically then you got Detroit and Toronto. No complaints, should be a great weekend for baseball.

Cubs @ White Sox is going to be as toxic an environment as you can have in baseball.

As a Cub fan the White Sox have never really moved the toxicity needle near as much as the Brewers and Cards. But for White Sox fans the hate is strong for the Cubs. So yeah, since it's on the Southside it will be relatively toxic.

Indians are playing well; my Reds are not. I think Indians take two out of three.

Last two games Judge has played on May 15: 6-6, 3 HRs, 3 Doubles, and four walks. He has reached base on his last 10 appearances on this day. Clay Holmes is going for the Mets, so expect at least a DONG from our Captain.

Meaningless stat.

My favorite meaningful stat is that the Yankees have the worst record in baseball against teams over 500

If you dropped both teams in the postseason the stats certainly back that up

Sorry I’m dumb that didn’t make any sense.

The stats would back up that the Rockies would do better in the postseason than the Yankees

Two things the Pirates can always count on: Skenes doing Skenes things, and the Pirates bullpen shitting the bed.

Three spot for the Phils in the 10th


Cubs and White Sox each trading scoring opportunities late

Misplay at third and a rare PCA left on left knock gives the Cubs a 2 run lead
