The Guardians were victorious against Mike Trout last night. Some other Angels tried playing baseball, too.
Tim Herrin finally gave up a run. He now has an 0.68 ERA which (without any other details) is arguably more impressive than 0.00.
Around baseball
• MLB and MLBPA are currently holding CBA talks. My hot take for the past year is that few, if any, games will be missed in 2027.
• ATL placed Sean Murphy on the IL once again.
• The Dodgers traded a 17-year-old to Arizona for Alek Thomas. Notttt sure how I feel about the phrase “traded 17-year-old”—maybe there should be something limiting that?
• Bailey Ober pitched a CGSHO.
• The Tigers lost big to the …… Mets.
• Paul Skenes is good at the pitch.
• Yoshinobu Yamamoto is not as good at the pitch as Eric Haase is at the hit. Wait, what?
