Imanaga still has the lowest ERA after the first six weeks of the season.

 

Big news is that Pirates called up last year's #1 draft pick RHP Paul Skenes to make his debut vs Cubs on Saturday.

 

Marlins & White Sox "compete" for the worst team of the season honor so far.

Marlins are gonna win that easily, especially now that they've sent Arraez to the Padres (and won't keep Chisholm still for a long run, imho)

Two important stories to report:

 

The bad news: 2023 N.L MVP and Atlanta Braves star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. tore his ACL and is out for the remainder of the season.

 

The good news: The worst umpire of all time, Angel Hernandez, is retiring!

Meanwhile the Mets are 10 games below .500 at the end of May. Lindor has to be the most overpaid "super star" in the league and well, at least they didn't pay Alonso who has to be traded sooner than later now. Even the NYM die-hards can't defend his crap?

 

Blue Jays are also doing below expectations so I wonder if they make some moves because the Guerrero & Bichette combo is clearly underperforming a lot.

many insiders have Bichette on the go, sooner rather than later

 

let's wait and see...

With the 1st overall pick in the 2024 draft, the Cleveland Guardians selected second baseman  Travis Bazzana.

 

This is the first time in MLB history an Australian has gone 1st overall.

Wait, they do their draft in the middle of the season?

Yes. That way players don't get drafted in the middle of high school or college baseball season.

Pirates make the all star break bang on .500 , never in my wildest dreams did i think we'd still be relevant halfway through season....a three game set against white sox will help with that though
