Well, at Chase Field, power problems interupted Guardians/D-backs This might put more impetus on D'Backs to find a solution to either renovate Chase Field or get a new stadium if infrastructure's failing like this. Game has resumed, issue hasn't been fixed, but they're playing on after a delay.

The Central is kind of a crapshoot right now, I think it's possible

The AL Central is also a crapshoot right now, both of those divisions are severely lagging behind everyone else.

The Red Sox are last in the AL East, and if playing in the AL Central they'd be tied for the lead, and in the NL Central they'd be a half game back.

The Central divisions are ass cheeks.

Ironic since the Red Sox are 3-9 against the NL Central.

The Yankees offense is anemic without Judge, wait, it might not even be that good.

The Yanks got rid of Hicks why? He's been a godsend for the Orioles.

Because he was asscheeks 

This is what usually happens once players leave NY. They don't have pressure to perform and he's getting paid dirty cheap by O's 

All I know is that I think this guy is a future hall of famer. First ballot, even.

The same problems Yankees have had for last 5 years

No way to manufacture runs without relying on the homerun ball. Cashman is stuck on the draw walks and hit 3 run homeruns approach they had before and they can't even do that

Mets crush Houston 11-1 as Scherzer has his best outing of the year.

Such a conflict for me as a Phillies fan as I just root for a meteor to hit the stadium

The Giants are acting very 2021 right now.

And they need to sit Rizzo, he is not at 100%. He's been a good offensive weapon, but since his neck injury, he's been terrible. Sit him and let him recover.

Hicks Homered and had 4 RBIs today for the O's

Nah this is doo doo

[Renslayer]

Fam...

[Red Mage Riot]

Somehow the Reds have clawed their way to the top of the NL Central. Good for them, they deserve a little time in the sun after their garbage fire last season, even if this is just a blip that doesn't last till October. On the flip side, AL Central.....just a shameful season from all of them.

Elly's a beast. He'll be fun to watch.

It's 6-4 Astros after (checks notes) the third.

Mets lose again.

Why is no one angry? Where are the reports of players only meetings? Or Cohen speaking out on this disappointment. Why are we complacent in a lost season?

Also, imo Jeff McNeil has been our biggest offensive killer. His soft contact does no good with runners on base.

As a Phillies fan I'm loving what they're doing, keep it up!
