Such a great read. Story after Story after Story

@ "a Coca Cola"
"I have to start with a story.
We used to have this vending machine when I was playing rookie ball in Arizona in 1994. It was one of the fancy new machines. When you put your change in to get a soda, it would tell you on the screen how much money you were missing. So this one day, I see one of my young Dominican teammates standing at the machine, looking confused. He was missing 10 cents.
The screen said, “Please add a dime.”
In Spanish, the word dime means “tell me.”
So one of my other Dominican teammates goes up to this kid and says, in Spanish, “What’s up? What are you doing?”
The kid says, “I don’t understand what’s going on with this machine.”
He wraps his arm around the kid’s shoulder and points to the screen.
“Bro … you see that word there? Dime. Dee-may. It knows you speak Spanish. The machine is telling you to ask for what you want.”
The kid looks at the vending machine. Then he looks back at my teammate. Then he looks back at the machine.
He leans in real close to the coin slot and starts shouting, “A Coca-Cola! I want a Coca-Cola! A COCA-COLA!”

Honestly sad about my boy sonny. No one knows what even wrong at this point. Mechanics, velocity, command. Really hoping he comes out of this slump of a season

Mets need to make a power move and trade for Archer.
Wheeler, Nimmo and Cecchini.
Do it Mitch!

Managers stalling for time before making an official challenge grinds my gears. Is there a time limit before they can't challenge and next pitch? Umps should be able to toss them off the field and play ball

Very interesting. They definitely need another SP, but I also think they need a bat.
Plot twist - they trade for Archer and Longoria.

Of course, Familia needs to have two baserunners so he learn how to deal with pressure before the postseasons start. A lot of practices make it perfect

Post all-star break ain't been kind to Toronto at all.
And this is the "easy portion" of the schedule.

I've become a big fan too. He's enjoying his best season in the majors so far.
Edit: Speaking of Didi

Sale was scratched from his start tonight. Saw on Twitter the flu, but other tweets said not due to illness

The white sox front office strikes again
Edit:
I bet the white sox told Sale he wasn't pitching because of trade talks, and he wanted to pitch
