Vladimir Guerrero Jr. opens up on his slump year: “They didn’t pay me to hit 40 every year. They paid me for what I already did.”
I want people to understand one thing. The money they gave me wasn’t for what I’m going to do. It was for what I already did. They didn’t pay me because I’m going to hit 40 every year. They paid me for what I already accomplished. People are confused about that, but I think the same way they do. Like, sometimes I even say to myself: bro, they gave you all that money and you’re out here doing nothing. I try.
You know how it is with fans, when you’re good, they’re with you 100%. But when you smell like shit, like we like to say here, nobody supports you.
The ones who support you are the ones who stay with you. Those are my fans. My family.

This is what check swings will look like under MLB’s 45-degree rule.
(These were ruled check swings in Game 7 of the 1965 World Series.)
Fornite dub with my daughter. I taught her well.
Stay for the Michael Myers break dance 😅 #fortnite
Please tell me this is sarcasm or pure engagement bait. Because if it’s not, I’m genuinely concerned.
What you’re looking at, is a proposal to call a check swing based on the bat reaching a 45-degree angle in the swing path.
Under the current standard (not spelled out in the rulebook, but how umpires are taught to judge it), the key is the front of the plate, the plane of the plate. If the bat breaks that plane, the batter is considered to have committed to the swing. In this case, the swing path clearly shows the bat crossing the front of the plate.
Hope this helps.
Not sure why Yandy Diaz’s swing is generating this much discourse. At first glance it looked like a checked swing, but the side angle clearly shows the bat path crossing the plane of the plate.
I’d be 100% on board with bringing these kinds of challenges to MLB. That said, the clip below doesn’t actually show a true representation of the plane of the plate.
This is not exactly what AJ Preller said. This is the full translated quote:
“That group(Machado, Tatis) is the foundation of this team. Machado and Tatis are Padres. Everything changed when we signed Machado and when Tatis arrived in the league. Because of them we’ve had success and become a family and Machado and Tatis are a big part of that family.”
“Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. are Padres for life. We never think about trading them. They are the founders of the Padres.”

John Smoltz really watched Tylor Megill serve up that walk-off to Nick Castellanos in the 2024 playoffs while big bro Trevor was closing games for Milwaukee in the same postseason and still managed to mix up the bros 🥴
Mets catcher Luis Torrens: Enjoyed the championship as a fan, now wants to live it as a player for Magallanes #LGM
“It’s really nice to be with the organization and defend it to the fullest. Obviously, there are a lot of responsibilities after the great work the guys did last year in becoming champions. I enjoyed it as a fan, and now I want to live it as a player and be there.
I’ve always stayed active since the season ended in the United States so I could be ready when the opportunity came to be here with the team, and try to get into a rhythm as soon as possible. I kept doing activities and watching pitchers, looking for ways to be ready for Yadier(Molina) and for whatever he needs from me.”

Mets fans,
With a thin free-agent market, we need to start preparing for internal options at first base. AGAIN, I’m good with that, as long as we upgrade at DH. The ideal bat there, in my opinion, is Teruaki Sato.
Teruaki sauce at Citi… LOADING 🔥 #LGM
Putting Alvy at 1B might not sit well with a lot of people, but if the Mets upgrade at other spots, it’s not the worst-case scenario.
I’m fine with Jared Young holding down first base as long as the Mets upgrade the DH. In that setup, Alvy can get some reps at 1B against lefties while still rotating with Torrens behind the plate. #LGM

Duro por el center field, no, no, no… 😅

How the mighty have fallen SMH
Hal Steinbrenner says he's in favor of a salary cap in MLB sny.tv/articles/yankees-owne…
Demetrio Crisantes is currently the 84th ranked prospect per MLB pipeline.
Rojas is 68th.
Mets won the trade #LGM
The Mets ALMOST landed Diamondbacks No. 1 prospect Demetrio Crisantes for Clay Holmes, but the Mets rejected his medicals 😳
"The Mets rejected Crisantes' medicals(he had surgery for a torn labrum in his left shoulder in 2025), and the Mets and D-Backs could not agree on a replacement, so that fell through at the last minute."
