MLB 2025: The Dodgers vs The Field

Bullpen day. Baseball has changed since I barely watched it some time ago.

Not much going on, so I'm watching the Tigers, and today is ballpen day- no real starter, just bullpen. First pitcher did 4 batters. And this is normal, since they are telling us that tomorrow is ballpen day for the White Sox.

Interesting.
 
The Rockies have won two in a row. They go from the worst start ever through 60 games to now having to lose 10 in a row to match the worst start through 70 games with the 1886 Washington Nationals. And have to go 1-9 to go match the Spiders.
 
Saw this making the rounds on social media...

Apparently my crew witnessed history on Saturday in our IHSA Regional Final of Joliet West vs Lincoln-Way East. LW-E pitcher, Jack Bauer, hit 103mph during his outing and is believed to be the hardest recorded HS pitch thrown (this was observed and confirmed by two MLB scouts at the game). I was at 3rd and it was noticeable the difference in velocity between Bauer and JW's kid, who was probably in the low 80s.

Gonna be interesting to see where the kid goes after he wraps up his HS career in the next week or two. He's already signed on with Scott Boras and will probably go in the Top 35 picks or so in the MLB Draft. He's committed to Virginia, but I'm sure that Boras and company would much rather see him take the cash and head off to Rookie Ball and start the bulk-up process.
 
Fingers crossed...

Gonna try and see if I can snag some Savannah Bananas tickets for Comiskey Park today...

I get why some people hate what they do, but I see it like watching a pure Spoof movie... You know it's gonna be dumb and cheesy going in, so sit back, crack a beverage, and enjoy the ride for the two hours!

In the MCWS, Coastal Carolina has a 26 game winning streak and is in the finals. They'll face either LSU or Arkansas (who needs 2 wins)

Arkansas' success sans championship continues. I can't remember how far back the stat went, but they have the most wins of any school and were the only one in the top five without a title.

Maybe seasons? Because Florida State is 5th in wins and their choke jobs in Omaha are legendary and still are looking for their first title in 77 years. Wiki (at the end of 2024) had Arkansas with 500 less wins but 102 seasons.

Yeah, it wasn’t all-time, it was somewhere between the last 10-25 years.
