Rhys Hoskins’ Home-Run Trot Was Epic
At 34 seconds long, the trot was not only cool to watch, but it was the perfect troll after almost getting hit twice against by Jacob Rhame the previous night. Let’s just hope that with Major League baseball’s obsession with pace pf play, the powers-that-be don’t come up with some stupid rule that regulates the…

The Calendar Dictates That Edwin Diaz Shouldn’t Be Used For More Than An Inning
It’s funny how this little controversy surrounding Edwin Diaz possibly having some sort of ‘mandate’ that says that Mickey Callaway can’t use him for more than an inning, wouldn’t have even mattered other night if Jeurys Familiar had just done his job as a set-up man and yunno, gotten some outs instead of getting in…

Met Fans Prefer Dallas Keuchel Over Craig Kimbrel
