Padres' Tucupita Marcano faces potential lifetime ban for betting on baseball. This is my shocked face... which you can't see.
Should have played better and blamed his translator.
After his home run yesterday, the Twins opening day third baseman has a 1.000 BA and 4.000 OPS.
Pay no attention to what happened between opening day and yesterday.
A look at Mets' month of misery as London Series looms
They should've called an audible and sent them with the White Sox, just let England see the absolute worst of the sport.
The Mets are 11-21 since May 1, but the slog has been even uglier lately than that record indicates. The misery really picked up steam on May 13, when All-Star closer Edwin Díaz blew his second save of the season, and over the ensuing weeks the team has been dropping games in every way imaginable.
There was a flurry of bullpen implosions and roster moves. There were injuries, injury setbacks and injury scares. There was a called third strike that went viral, announcers voicing sarcastic optimism on air, a glove angrily thrown into the crowd, an emergency players-only team meeting and a bizarre, misunderstood clubhouse outburst. The frustration leaked onto owner Steve Cohen's X account.
There are encouraging trends within the turmoil, but getting good offense, good pitching and good defense to align on the same day has been rare. The bullpen is leaky. Fielding miscues are too regular. The rotation lacks a front-line starter with Kodai Senga on the injured list.
There is time for the club with MLB's highest payroll to rebound. The chaotic stretch, however, has plunged the Mets into a deep hole, with the third-worst record in the National League, and on track for a trade deadline exodus for the second consecutive summer.
The Mets head to London for two games against the Philadelphia Phillies this weekend. Facing the best team in the National League isn't a recipe for a turnaround, but traveling across the pond might be the change of scenery the team needs to reverse course in a season careening toward disaster.
Saw the screenshots last night of Skenes grimace as he turns. Knew it was gone.
Someone fixed baseball
I feel kinda bad for the Twins
Don't. It's a deeply terrible team that's only over .500 because the White Sox are more poorly run than the A's. This is the only way to get the coaches fired.
Someone f*cking score please

Dodgers v Yankees?
Yeah 10 scoreless I don't think anyone would have predicted
Yeah thought it would be a slug fest especially for the Dodgers.
Yeah I might have bet the over 7.5... 
Judge is ridiculous.
Judge is ridiculous.
Lord, I know we Yankee fans have always been.... difficult, but I feel like it's gotten exponentially worse in the last few years.
Hah I wish he did flip them off. I dunno, it just seems like typical tough love. I read they were chanting his name the next time around.
Why does anyone pitch to Judge
Why does anyone pitch to Judge
Yoink!
Fun facts about Judge's last 41 games, in which he:
1. Hit 2 for 4 tonight, lowering his on base percentage during this stretch
2. Has reached base 36 games in a row
3. Has reached base multiple times 10 games in a row.
4. Is the 3rd Yankee ever to have 30 extra base hits in a 30 game span
5. Hit his first triple since... 2019.
6. Raised his batting average from .178 to .309, and is hitting .533 in June.
7. Reached a .712 SLG, which ranks 93rd against everyone else's OBP. His June SLG, 1.200, would rank first (even above his own season OBP).
8. Extrapolated out to a 162-game span, his performance over the last 41 games would translate to 83 homers, 194 RBIs and 190 runs scored.
I'm sure he will return to Earth at point, but it's been a fun run up to summer.
Boop
And there were 6 HRs in the Dodgers game last night. Dinger Tuesday indeed
I'm willing to believe the Yankees have a trash can lid they're banging on somewhere at this point.
Giancarlo hits the ball very far.
Like, sure, he's only batting .229 and his OBP is under .300, but when he does hit the ball, look the f*ck out.
Also, baseball is so weird now. Every single starter on the '98 Yankees had an OBP higher than .350.
Exactly two Yankees have an OBP higher than .350 now (Soto and Judge).
MLB has disciplined umpire Pat Hoberg for violating the league's gambling rules. While the specific nature of the discipline Is unknown, Hoberg has denied betting on baseball, sources tell ESPN, and is appealing the ruling, which @Ken_Rosenthal and @EvanDrellich first reported.
NOOOOOOOOOOO NOT MY GOAT PAT HOBERG

MLB needs more Snoop Dogg.
1st pitch Judge home run over the monster tonight
I have no idea why anyone bothers to pitch to Kyle Schwarber or Gunnar Henderson either. Between them, they have 15 lead off home runs so far this season.
Super nervous but still looking forward to the showdown between the two best teams in baseball this week.
