Baseball's unpredictability was showcased as the Mets achieved a surprising 9-0 victory over the Giants despite missing key players.
St. John Bosco, with a record of 11-3, has shown strong performance, particularly from pitcher Julian Garcia, who is back in dominant form after injury. This has solidified their position at the top of the rankings.
Griffin is the top prospect in baseball by a mile. And I almost put him in the 70 FV tier, which is the highest I'll put any hypothetical prospect, as that means I expect him to be on MVP ballots with 5-plus WAR seasons every year.
During Saturday's game between the Red Sox and the Reds, Eugenio Suarez challenged Bucknor on back-to-back strike three calls and successfully had them overturned by the robo ump. It doesn't matter that Suarez ultimately grounded out. What matters is that, in a game where the Reds hit two home runs, the loudest cheers came for a pair of successful ABS challenges.
"I'm pretty insulated from a lot of stuff that's out there. The stuff that I do see or hear, I don't really care anyway because it doesn't have anything to do with the play. I'm just thinking about getting back to execution and executing my pitches."
Ian Happ had been going through one of the most brutal days at the plate today, before his CRITICAL eighth-inning, go-ahead home run. Despite the rough day, after the home run, Ian Happ now has - hilariously - a 119 wRC+ on the year.
I think it was good. Came up, obviously a young guy, didn't really know what to expect. Obviously struggled at the start. Being in a new clubhouse, being around guys who had show time, kind of everything, playing against better competition. I think just getting up here, getting my feet wet, it made the transition coming into this year super easy, just because I'm pretty comfortable.
