It's an incredibly competitive division. Red Sox are still over .500.

Orioles have won 11 of their last 13 games. And thanks to frickin' Tampa, we're still in second place.

Yankees with a $210M annually payroll is in last place and Orioles with one of the lowest payroll of MLB of $29M annually has a better record. Money doesn't always equal wins but the season is still early.

Yeah, sometimes players do better in different organizations. Like sometimes pitchers have left us and done well elsewhere, but then the opposite has been true of Jonathan Scoop, who's now with Detroit. He was a pretty decent player with us, but he's terrible with Detroit.

We have one of the best farm systems in the majors. A ton of young talent. We don't have to shop around for talent, which keeps the payroll low. But our manager is also excellent, Hyde. One of the games we won that I was at went into extras, and the main reason we won it was because Hyde was a class act in managing. We ended up winning because of a wild pitch, but it was because he managed the top of the tenth so the other team couldn't score and then put the fastest runner on second that we could win. I think that's the best example of masterful managing that I've seen in recent years.

This writer's strike makes me want to write a show where Los Angeles is controlled by Silicon Valley billionaires up north and run like an experimental laboratory to make people's lives a living nightmare.

It's so crazy that LA is larger than the Bay Area yet the Bay Area is exponentially richer and more powerful.

The Mets with a $236M annual payroll, highest in MLB and the Yankees $210M annual payroll 3rd highest in MLB anything lower than a pennant at the end of the season is inexcusable. Superman , Shonei Otani of the Angels will be looking for a long-term $500M contract next season. Angels will no way be able to afford him. Bet on it. I can see Otani as a Met or in pinstripes.
