So, the #Giants couldn't manage another big come from behind win and lose game to the #Phillies but they take the series 2-1 and stand at 29-17 before facing the #Yankees (37-19) for 3 games at home starting the day after tomorrow.
So, it's not going to get any easier for the Giants any time soon and whoever put the schedule together for the Giants much really had something against them. LOL! 🤦♂️
Baseball's all-time leaders lists have changed overnight with the integration of the Negro Leagues into Major League Baseball statistics. Josh Gibson is now officially one of the greatest players of all time, beating Ty Cobb for career batting average and Babe Ruth for slugging percentage and OPS. His great grandson, Sean Gibson, hopes that the MVP award will be renamed in his honor. The trophy was previously named after Kenesaw Mountain Landis, baseball's first commissioner, who played a key role in keeping baseball segregated. “How ironic would it be for Josh Gibson to replace the man who denied more than 2,300 men the opportunity to play baseball in the major leagues,’’ Sean Gibson told USA Today.
To the surprise of precisely no one, the racists are out in full force to refute the inclusion of #NegroLeagues statistics in the #MLB cannon.
Not shocking to see them doing it, but it's still disappointing, you know? You're right, racists, Babe Ruth did hit 714 HRs. And Ty Cobb did have a career BA of .366. Those are both amazing numbers.
But they never had to hit off a healthy, in-his-prime Satchel Paige, you know?
Update: Fans in Detroit are being advised to take cover, but the teams are still playing through the lightning. Just asking for trouble. #MLB#baseball@baseball

This is awful. The reigning National League MVP is done for the year.

Breaking: The Braves announced Ronald Acuña Jr. is set to undergo surgery for an ACL tear in his left knee and will miss the remainder of the season.
I’m not sure why the #Mets wear their “pavement” City Connect jerseys during a day game. Don’t they know pavement gets hot in the sun? #MLB#baseball@baseball
One of the weird things about rooting for the #Padres is it makes sense to root for the #Dodgers when they play other National League teams. Nobody’s going to beat LA over 162 games, so you might as well root for them to beat up SD’s wild-card competition. #MLB#baseball@baseball
