If 2019 was the apex of the Three True Outcomes era, consider this the course correction: Strikeouts are down 6% since and a handful of soon-to-be All-Stars say they changed for the better by putting the ball in play.

RT @HOFprez: To honor his memory, let’s get Scott’s book on the best seller list. Had been waiting to buy it when he had a planned book sig….

Met Scott more than 30 years ago, when the LA Times San Diego edition closed and he went from covering the Padres to the Cal State Fullerton beat. He was a remarkable professional role model to this undergrad and the most loyal, humble, devoted dude you could meet. Rest easy.

The #Rockies have hit four home runs in this seventh inning and six on the night; a 3-1 game is now 9-1. Folks, hide your kids.

It's reached the Palpable Boos stage at Nationals Park as the 15-57 #Rockies are housing the once again. 7-1 in the seventh and a 10th consecutive loss #OnDeck.

"As a people pleaser, I wanted to make everyone happy. As a No. 1 pick, you want to live up to what everyone’s writing about you rather than take a step back and be like, ‘Wait, what got me selected No. 1?'''. The #Tigers are all vibing.

#Tigers had two outs and nobody on and then the next four dudes combined to hit for the cycle. Not sure I've seen that one. #Tork.

The Reset is kinda rockin' in St. Louis, thanks to some big steps forward from emerging players like Victor Scott II.

Charlie Morton is warming in the #orioles bullpen; the proud 41-year-old is officially a Long Guy.

Just to update this carnage: Kyle Gibson exits down 9-0, and every Yankee starter except Austin Wells has a hit by the fourth inning (and also Oswald Peraza, who came in for dinged up Jazz Chisholm). Ben Rice has two homers. Oh and Carlos Rodón is perfect thru three.

Make that four pitches, three home runs. Ben Rice, out to right. 3-0. Unreal.

How's the Kyle Gibson experiment working out for the #Orioles? Three pitches, two home runs - Grisham and that man Aaron Judge. Yikes.

Tomoyuki "Season-Saver" Sugano punched out Aaron Judge for his eighth strikeout of the night. He's elicited nine whiffs on 11 swings against his splitter tonight as #Orioles lead #Yankees 4-0.

#Orioles manager Brandon Hyde says Kyle Gibson, 37, will make first start Tuesday vs #Yankees. Gibson begins 12th season, rejoins Baltimore after nice run in ‘23.“One of the best teammates I’ve been around in a clubhouse,” says Hyde. “He’s an adult in the room, which is great.”.

Hear he’s facing significant headwinds.

#Mets reliever AJ Minter exits the game after throwing the ninth pitch of his appearance, a 90 mph cutter, and then wincing as he walked behind the mound. Mets lead Washington 2-0 in eighth.
