The season has been INSANE so far. Jackson Merrill robs Julio Rodriguez of a two-run home run and then hits a walk-off double, giving the Padres their seventh straight win. While Shohei Ohtani may not be hitting, he is on fire with his pitching. In a game against the Mets, he throws 10 strikeouts helping the Dodgers secure an 8-2 win. Ben Rice has the best stats in the MLB right now, so why hasn’t he been in the Yankees’ starting lineup for the past few games? Plus, The Mets trade Richard Lovelady and Shea Langeliers hits the longest home run of the season.

The Yankees are not happy with the Marlins calling pitches from the dugout. By calling pitches from the dugout, it’s creating a habit that will be hard to break if players, specifically the catcher, go to another team. It is also working really well. Should the Marlins keep this up? Plus, a superstar is being made in Tampa.

Hitters love to hit, but HATE getting hit…understandably. Sure, accidents happen, but when does it start to be a pattern? Plus, some news! Jo Adell robbed not one, not two, but THREE homeruns from the Mariners to secure a win for the Angels. The Tampa Bay Rays are moving back to Tropicana Field following its repairs after hurricane Milton.
