TWIB Notes, June 3 through June 9
I see that the White Sox are currently riding a 13-game losing streak, bringing their winning percentage down to .242. (15 and 47)
It always gets my attention when a team drops below .250. I'm not one of those fans who wants the Mets to retain their 1962 record. I'd love to see it broken, preferably by a National League team (so that they lose both the MLB record and the NL record, if such distinctions matter anymore).

Two of the top teams in baseball this year meeting for their only series unless they each make the World one, why not?
... so of course tonight's game is exclusively on Apple+. Thanks Uncle Rob and owners!

Yanx/Dodgers, btw, scoreless thru 7
Yamamoto is throwing a 2-hitter
Yanx are throwing a bullpen game and have themselves a 3-hitter
That pen menagerie includes 1.2 IP/1-hit from Michael Tonkin
Now that we've caught the Nats (not much of an accomplishment but it's something) I probably shouldn't be
celebrating their win over the Braves, but why not?
2-1 tonight to gain a split in the first two games of that four-game series in DC

And on whatever outlet carries the Dodger games in LA but only in those two markets.
This isn't usual practice for these 'exclusive' games but apparently MLB realized, probably belatedly, that they were blocking a
star-laden game that non-locals might actually want to watch from most of the country, including many in-market fans, and so
made an exception in this case. I'm sure a
btw, Dodgers 2 - Yanquis 1 was your final, all runs scored in the 11th.

Speaking of network broadcasting decisions, the MLB sked is cleared out in the 1:00 EDT time slot so as to make the London game
a stand-alone. I'm sure FOX wanted that desperately and maybe King Charlie III put in a request too.
FOX is pulling triple duty today, going directly from the London game to the Belmont Stakes to, after a brief local news break,

Another bullshit replay reversal in the NYY/LAD game.
- 1st & 3rd, one out, Yanx batter called out trying to beat out a GiDP ball
- Boone challenged and about 17 angles of replay were shown without a single one being anything close to 'definitive'
- after more than three minutes of deliberation (and more than four minutes from pitch to pitch) the call was
reversed which allowed a run to score and the inning to continue.
But, remember, replay will only reverse obvious mistakes and it'll be decided quickly.

Braves win the first game of the series but then lose the next three to the Nationals.
Atlanta 16 - 19 since May 1st
Judge just homered for the 35th time in the last two weeks (or something like that).
Actually 24 in 67 games, or a pace for 58
Yanx 6 - Dodgers 4 heading to the 9th, trying to avoid a sweep.

Angels score twice in the 8th and twice more in the 9th to walk-off the Astros 9-7
Houston sits at 30 - 36. Not the kind of territory they've been accustomed to lately.
