Takes
The Cubs will not make the playoffs after their September collapse
The Cubs have had just an epic collapse. The Cubs are most likely not going to make the playoffs because they don't have any tiebreakers. Suzuki just missed a ball, it went right by him. Easy catch. There's nothing worse than a September collapse.
The New York Yankees were given juiced baseballs for Aaron Judge's home run chase
A report came out saying that the Yankees were beneficiaries of having juice balls all last year. The Yankees were getting juice balls. Asterisks on his home run record, on his AL home run record. I mean, Jake, how can you discount that? They were purposely giving the best balls in baseball to the New York Yankees last year.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have the second-worst run differential in the National League
They have the second-worst run differential in the NL right now... second worst behind [Big Cat's] Nets.
The Red Sox trading Mookie Betts makes no sense and is a repeat of the Khalil Mack trade
The Red Sox seems like what they did, what they got for it is, at best... a Mookie Betts. It's kind of like the Raiders trade when they traded Khalil Mack. They're trading assets that they hope will eventually turn into a player the caliber of Mookie Betts. ... no one is as good as Mookie Betts except for Trout.
The Dodgers have to win one because their 'all-ins' are becoming pathetic
And now the Dodgers, I mean, how many all-ins can the Dodgers... The Dodgers are going to break the record for the most all-ins. This decade, this is like their fifth or sixth all in. You've got to win one, Dodgers. This is so pathetic.
