“Hernández has failed to establish a statistically significant disparity between the promotion rates of white and minority umpires,” the 2nd Circuit said in an 11-page decision. “MLB has provided persuasive expert evidence demonstrating that, during the years at issue, the difference in crew chief promotion rates between white and minority umpires was not statistically significant. Hernández offers no explanation as to why MLB’s statistical evidence is unreliable.”

Paul Skenes making his MLB debut today. This guy is filthy. The only question is how long is arm is going to last. He is built big though so maybe he will last
I have had enough of these moronic city connect uniforms. I turn on the Dodgers to watch a classic matchup against the Giants, who are wearing some ridiculous looking college type uniform. The people running baseball are great at killing their product.
The King of TalkSox has Spoken.
The guy is such a punchline.
I was pitching to my daughter the other day, and she avoided a pitch way outside, which I told her was a strike. She disagreed. But when I then called it an “Angel Hernandez Strike,” she did agree to that…

A’s RHP Michael Kelly, Padres LHP Jay Groome, Phillies INF Jose Rodriguez and Diamondbacks LHP Andrew Saalfrank banned for one year

Strahm for PHI in 2024:
25 IP
2 ERs (0.72 ERA)
16 Hits
3 BB
35 Ks
0.760 WHIP

Some of the guys Bloom signed have done much better, after leaving, as in Strahm & Perez. (Others, not so much.)
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
He was in competition for a Padres rotation spot last season, but ended up staying in AAA where he had a 8.55 ERA. Too many fish tacos probably. I believe he's working through injuries this season.
Jays top hitting prospect Orelvis Martinez was suspended for 80 games (PED) 48 hours after making his MLB debut.
