Why aren't AL pitchers plunking Kendrys Morales?

Mariano Rivera had TEN seasons under a 1.000 WHIP

That's remarkable

But he never went sub-1/sub-1 (Mo's best ERA was 1.38)

Blake Treinen currently at 0.98/0.97 (64 innings)

Nice trade Nats, especially since Doolittle is one of the poisons in your clubhouse.

the lost week-end in Tampa Bay

there was nothing enjoyable watching games in that mausoleum with the players wearing those unis.

Snell was pretty good though.

But burn those f'ing uniforms

Starting to look like 1978 in the AL East.

As long as Shane Robinson and Neil Walker are getting regular OF time, I'm not willing to run with a 1978 comparison.  Yet.

You never know. It could be Neil "Fucking" Walker or Shane "Fucking" Robinson is still to come.

No doubt.  Those things are unpredictable.  What's more concerning to me is the length of time it's taking you to post J.D. Martinez' Instagram musings.  You're losing whatever fastball you had left.

Maybe it's more you failing to recognize the curveball.

We could talk about the gay bashing ex-Nat Daniel Murphy and why he was nixed from the dysfunction that is the DC clubhouse, though.

I mean, if you're up for it.

We could. The timing of the trade didn't make a lot of sense to me.

Fantastic trade for Chicago.  Especially cause I don't think Bryant's coming back this year.... Would love for the Yankees to have grabbed him.

But he is choosy as to who grabs him.

The Hamels trade the Cubs made was the bigger move, I think.
