Chicago Fog Cardinals @ Cubs, April 30, 1998



It’ll make the inevitable collapse all the more painful for many. For me? I’ve been doing this for 36 years. I’m ready.



Prior to this year's Giants, there have been 65 instances of an NL team scoring 106 or fewer runs through the first 34 games of a season. Of those 65, 8 posted a winning record that season (last: 1988), 3 made the postseason & 1 won the WS (1914 Braves). x.com/jayhaykid/stat…


Four different #Dbacks starters (Kelly, Gallen, Soroka, Nelson) have allowed 6 or more ER or more in a start… Not just this season… But since last Sunday afternoon.

Brett Baty had 0 walks in his first 63 plate appearances He has 10 in his last 42 and an OBP over .400 in that span. What the heck happened on 4/18 in Chicago?



Meanwhile, their offense only scored scored 15 runs in 6 games. They dropped from 11th in runs scored to 17th. They still went 5-1 this week


Since Last Sunday, the Tampa Bay Rays have gone from 20th in runs allowed, with 133, to 7th, with 140. They only allowed 7 runs from Monday to Sunday.

Jack Leiter has made the Tigers look like little leaguers through the first six batters. Riley Greene is the only batter who managed to make their AB last longer than 4 pitches

Jack Leiter has struck out five consecutive batters. He's thrown 19 of his 23 pitches for strikes. Completely dialed in to start this one.

More from Spencer Strider on his 2026 debut: “I’d rather be pitching than hurt, for sure, but I don’t want a participation trophy. I’m here to help the team win games. I’m getting paid a ridiculous amount of money to do it. If I can’t, then that’s a problem."

Royals sweep the Mariners in Seattle!
