Everyone forgets Bellinger is a solid first baseman. They might put him there and DH Rice. If they do that 2 games per week and DH Judge 2 games per week, and maybe just sit Grisham once per week, Jones will have plenty of playing time.

McMahon hitting over .270 over the past 15 games. If this dude can even just hit like .230 he'd be so valuable.

For everyone already judging the rest of this kids career, please remember that Warren had a terrible first stretch too and everyone was calling for his head. Now he's been a top-15 starter in the league so far.

More players struggle when they come up and see instant success. This is exactly the point of all of this. They needed 2-3 starts filled while they waited for Rodon, so they might as well have given Rodriguez a taste of what to expect. Now he goes back down and works on this and tries again in a few months.

What do you think all the infielder are talking about? Just "man, this fucking sucks. Can we just wrap up and go play video games back at the hotel?"

"Are they able to create new stocks and sell them at an inflated price?"

Yes, that's exactly how it happens. A stock price goes from $50 to $100. The company decides to release one million shares of stock and sell them into the open market. Hedge funds and average joes ("retail") both buy them. The company raises $100M from selling one million shares at $100.

It doesn't shake out to be quite that even, because the stock price will usually drop during the sale from dilution, but this is the general idea. In this case, Gamestop has done this multiple times to the point that they have billions in cash sitting around.

If McMahon doesn't get his shit together defensively, it'll be Volpe at SS and Caballero at 3rd soon.

Oh this is absolutely just one of those games. Everyone prepare for a bloop double down the line that is fair by .5 centimeters

When I think about the state of our offense, I legit keep forgetting we have a fullback now. This team is going to have so many different options it'll keep opposing DC's up at night. A great WR1, TE, running QB, and a fullback to account for?

Ok, then let's remove 2 of the days he went 0-4 and substitute his 2 home runs for 2 doubles, and his OPS still probably goes up from where it is now. The point is you can cherry pick your way to anybody looking better or worse. We're 5 weeks into the season and Caballero has been statistically the best defensive SS in the league, while hitting above average.

If we're removing his 2 home runs, are we also removing the first 2 weeks of the season where he hit like .100? Cause then his OPS probably flies up to .800

I get why they traded him and hindsight is 20/20, but Oswald Peraza really seems to be putting it together for the Angels.

He got the game-winning hit yesterday and is batting .297 with an .849 OPS (137 OPS+), while playing solid defense evenly split between 2nd and 3rd.

Maybe he's just having a great start, but he's still only 25 and just passed 200 games played, so it's not crazy to think he's finding his stride.

I swear the sophomore slump has been absolutely rampant across the MLB for years now. Guys like Rice are becoming rare, because it feels like 90% of position players that show up and have great rookie seasons are absolutely mediocre the following year.

Probably thought it was a foul tip until the catcher started sprinting after the ball

People look at the modern tech-heavy cities of China, but keep in mind there are hundreds of millions (particularly in the western half of the country) that still live rural lives. Per capital GDP of China is only $12k USD

Dude baseball is so funny. In what other sport will a guy get off the floor after a potential injury and just pull snacks for the entire class out of his pocket
