RIPPA

We have hit the stage where all the All Star pitchers are being replaced (namely because they are pitching this weekend so wouldn't be able to pitch in the ASG) The note worthy one is that the Brewers Jacob Misiorowski has been named to the NL team Misiorowski has played in 5 career games, throwing a grand total of 25.2 innings It is the fewest games ever played by someone named to an All Star team beating the record set by... Paul Skenes last year

Cody Bellinger sure seems excited to play the Cubs

Retzlaff officially announced he was leaving BYU Apparently he isn't going into the portal - he is just gonna enroll at another school (as we have seen with other players who do that - it will mean a whole different kettle of fish)

Guy Ritchie will no longer direct Road House 2 No reason was given for his leaving nor was a replacement named

I said they WOULD be playing not that they SHOULD be playing

I would say its a pretty safe bet that they are gonna be playing Jeimer Candelario at third post all star break (or Nicky Lopez if Candelario is completely washed)

New CBA has officially been ratified Starts with the 2026-2027 season and runs through 2029-2030

Nats are going with Miguel Cairo as interim manager He had been serving as the team's bench coach They actually asked him yesterday to do it but he asked for a day to think about it (It appears that Cairo wanted to run it by Davey Martinez first before accepting)

This is probably the most telling statement

Okay - apparently both Rizzo and Martinez had options for 2026 that had to be picked up by mid July Obviously it was decided that there weren't getting picked up and they didnt want either of them lame ducking the rest of the season (especially Rizzo) EDIT - ESPECIALLY when the team has the number one pick in the draft next week

Legit stunned it happened Like what the fuck changed in the two weeks that Davey through the entire team under the bus outside of the team still being shitty

The Durant trade is finally official It somehow grew to be the first 7 team trade in NBA history 6 players, 1 first round pick and 12 2nd round picks all told
