Despite still having a losing record, the Tigers have increased their run differential to +71, just behind the Red Sox for 3rd best in the AL. Is this park on pace for a record (assuming the Tigers don't have a .500 record by the end of the season)

Entering August, Yordan Alvarez is on pace for the AL triple crown. But that's not all. He leads the AL in runs, and leads all of the MLB in OBP, SLG, TB, and OPS.

Let's see how he will fare against Jacob DeGrom tonight. DeGrom is still a great starter, but he does give up the long ball a decent amount.

Tyler Heineman (a catcher) throws a perfect inning for the Angels

With only 11 pitches, he was on pace for an even stronger outing than Dylan Cease in his shutout

Elly de la Cruz led the MLB with 218 strikeouts and 16 caught stealing in 2024 (yes, I know he led in stolen bases as well). What are other interesting examples of a player leading in two bad but completely unrelated categories?

As Kyle Schwarber is continuing to mash this season, very few have noticed he already has 150 K's and a 34.8% K rate, well on his way to breaking the all time single season strikeouts record if he keeps this up.

If a certain Jacob Misiorowski didn't pitch in the NL, Schwarber would essentially have 50-50 odds of being the first hitter to strike out more than the leading pitcher in their league (Sanchez has 151 K's and just had a start)

After seeing Tyron Guerrero's 103.2 MPH strikeout, do you think he could potentially break Chapman's velo record for the team?

With Aaron Ashby getting credited for the loss vs Pittsburgh yesterday, Sonny Gray is now tied for the highest W-L% in the MLB.

He is tied with Chase Burns, who is coincidentally also 11-1 with a 2.54 ERA despite being on a struggling Reds team.

Can we talk about Jake Bennett's insane efficiency?

Although he hasn't pitched that many games yet, Bennett has 14.11 P/IP, which would be 3rd in the MLB if he were qualified (just above Sonny Gray, who has also been quite efficient!). This is in part to a 99th percentile chase rate of 40.4%, 97th percentile walk rate of 4.5%, and 95th percentile ground ball rate of 53.5%. Getting outs is the main priority of a pitcher, and Bennett sure can get them fast.

NO WAY. Kiner-Falefa and Durbin, 2 of the weakest hitters in the MLB, never mind the Red Sox, hit back to back HR against Yesavage. 3-3 ballgame.

How is Willson Contreras not in the top 5 for all star voting?!

At this point in the season, Willson is the 6th best hitter in the MLB by OPS, 4th in the American League. It is true that his OPS, which is .966 now, was lower, maybe .920 or so, when the ballots first came out, and he is still behind Rice and Kurtz in OPS. Not to mention Murakami's stellar start before injury. However, he should be right along with these players, especially since his fielding is better than the fielding of all the aforementioned 1B. NOT IN 6TH!
