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 

Having a super rookie in Paul Skenes also helps!

 

Meanwhile, I would prefer not to talk about my beloved Blue Jays

we fly to pittsburgh for the steelers home opener, which is the same week as the last pirates home series and i am crossing everything he will pitch that week!

Just back home from Boston, where we saw the Red Sox muller the A's last week. The most one sided game I've ever watched live. The kind of game that was crying out for a mercy rule.

yesterday evening the Italian TV was broadcasting the Giants @ Brewers match and they basically announced that live 

 

unfortunately, they're not going to send also this one...and the bad news is that the game is exclusively live on Apple TV+, so there's not even the chance to watch him live on mlb.tv 

 

gotta wait until tomorrow morning, when ATV+ blackout ends and the game is available ondemand on mlb.tv

Chicago White Sox need to win 10 of their last 15 games to avoid beating the modern MLB record of 120 losses in a season (set by New York Mets in 1962)

 Shohei Ohtani is the first MLB player to ever hit 50 homeruns and steal 50 bases in a season!!!

For non baseball fans this is like being a dual discus\200m medallist.

But also he's the world record holder in pole vault, but taking the season off that specific event because of an injury.

 

It's actually really hard to overstate how amazing an athlete Ohtani is to people who don't follow baseball.
