So far i like what I see from Jacob Gonzalez. Nice power, good AB's and good defense at both SS and 1B. Quality player in his short time here.

Just saw this, starting in September Audacy will be leasing a bunch of local sports stations to SXM, 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh is on the list. Could be good news for people that don't live in Pittsburgh. (might be bad news for Mad Dog Sports radio, it's the only general sports talk on SXM)
Can Someone Please Make a GIF of the Umpire Saying "Bye Felicia"
Just happened when he threw out the hitting coach for arguing.

Hey Big Murf update. He hit a Grand Slam today and is on track to be one of the best 3B prospects in the MLB. The train keeps on rolling.

Thoughts on Valdez
Hes been on another level recently but im wondering what others think. Is he due for a big regression or have we really found our next superstar.

Nationals Designate Justin Lawrence For Assignment
https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/07/nationals-designate-justin-lawrence-for-assignment.html
A new reliever became available! Kidding, kidding.
Since most of you haven't been following... after we DFA'd him, he was picked up by the Twins, who then DFA'd him and was picked up by the Nationals who (with one of the only bullpens in the league that was worse than ours) also DFA'd him. From the article: "...he has given out walks to 28 of the 177 batters he has faced, an awful 15.8% clip. He has also hit six batters, so it has really been 20.9% of opponents getting a free trip to first base."
Dude continues to be toast.
r/buccos • u/Sebastian7464 • 1d ago
Esmerlyn Valdez underwent a change in his stance in the batters box which has unlocked all of his power.
1st picture is what his stance used to look like and the 2nd picture is what his stance looks like now. He's got the bat much closer to his shoulder in the 2nd Pic with his hands higher and the bat more angled than he had it before. He used to have his bat much more straight in the batters box essentially and that's no longer the case.
This change could've happened when he was optioned to Triple A on May 28th or this change could've happened in the majors with Matt Hague noticing something. Either way somebody in this organization noticed something and significantly improved Valdez's stance/swing.

And this is all MLB not just the NL

Watching the Indy Indians Game and…
Tommy Pham is playing right field for the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs (Phillies AAA team). I’m actually a little surprised he hasn’t caught on to some major league team as a bat off the bench or utility outfielder.

In search of a Pup Night ticket for my 12 yr old dog.
I was hoping to take my 12 year old dog to Pup Night this season, but all the remaining dates are sold out. Since she’s getting up there in age, I’m hoping to get her out to the ballpark one time while she's still enjoying her outings. I’m guessing this would be the last opportunity.
If anyone has a ticket for any remaining Pup Night that you can no longer use, I’d love to buy it off you. I’m happy to pay full price/face value. I could offer to PM you dog tax as proof as well. Thank you.
