After 13 years in the minor leagues, Drew Maggi of the Pirates gets his first major league hit.

 

Maggi was then sent back down by the organization this evening after an inspirational ride in the big leagues.

 

He respresented  at the 2017 WBC.

he was also involved in a big brawl at the 2019 Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Bologna, when  lost to .

he was one of the main fighters in that brawl and got a 12-game suspension, which basically ended his journey with our National Team.

Tomorrow the Oakland Athletics will go for a series sweep of Kansas City, which could turn the Royals into the worst team in Major League Baseball.

 

Meanwhile, the Red Sox have won eight straight to pull within seven games of Tampa Bay in a heated AL East.

I absolutely hate the AL East!

 

My favourite team is tied for 6th in the entire MLB and only 4th in the division. 

 

But hey, if it means the Yankees are going to finish in last place, I can get behind that.

The problem is that BJ got swept by Red Sox and lost 4 games in a row

Mets pitching has gone down the drain. Scherzer came back after the suspension, makes one lousy start and he's out with neck spasms now

after 4 losses in a row and a series of very bad results , Blue Jays defeated Rays 20-1

A much needed win, hopefully the start of something good

Jacob deGrom is set for TJ surgery but Rangers still have the second best record in AL behind the Rays.

well, they're still a very good team despite DeGrom's loss.

 

and Jon Gray is having the stint of his life so far (even if last night he recorded the second most "undeserved" loss in the history of the game with 9 IP, 4 H and 1 ER, no BB and 12 K)...

 

p.s. luckily, I got Gray in my fantasy team just to replace DeGrom (but now I also have Max Fried in IL60 and Cole is scaring me in the last outings).

my only consolation, I've been able to steal Elly (De La Cruz)!!! 

 

and I can tell you, we'll talk a lot of Elly in the next future

Oakland Athletics won SEVEN games in a row and shafted the horrendous Kansas City Royals to the worst record in the league

 

Meanwhile LA Angels won two straight vs Rangers on the road and it seems like their season might not be finished before the All-Star Break for a change
