MLB Roundup: Nats finally fire Dave Martinez! Will Marlins now be buyers!? BIGGEST All-Star snubs!
#NothingPersonal #DavidSamson #MLB
Today’s word of the day is ‘unceremonious’ as in Mike Rizzo as in Dave MArtinerz as in the Washington Nationals as in fired. That’s right, same day as two Nationals make the All-Star team, the owner fires the GM and manager. Why now? Well, the team has been bad bad bad, but the timing is just odd. Paul Skenes can’t get a win. 42 career starts and 17 No Decisions. And it’s not like he’s been bad! He’s been an ACE! How should you react during a surprise season? With the MLB trade deadline fast approaching we take a look at three teams: Marlins, Orioles, Braves. How should they each respond? Review: Echo Valley. MLB All-Star rosters are close to complete. Clayton Kershaw got in as a Legend pick. Nice. Who were the biggest snubs? NPPOD. Another professional player is under investigation for gambling. This time it’s in baseball again. Luis Ortiz of the Cleveland Guardians is on leave right now as the league looks into a few pitches he threw. That’s right… this is on PITCHES! Jonas Valanciunas has to honor his contract. That’s what the Denver Nuggets said after trading for the center. He wants to play in Greece. Oh well! Big Beautiful Bill talk. My time at the San Siro in Italy. What a stadium. An old stadium.
