- Ty and JP took a little tour in New York before yesterday’s game.
Around the league…
- The fact that he had the ability to double-clutch…
- Yesterday was Japanese Heritage Night at the Mets game and the Japanese Ambassador to the US got big league’d by Scherzer. As much as we love Scherzer as a labor hero and overall intense dude, these are the kinds of moments where that intensity becomes just being a jerk.
- Kumar Rocker is preparing for the upcoming draft by hitting the Frontier League.
Kumar Rocker, the former Vanderbilt ace who did not sign with the New York Mets after they chose him in the first round last year, has signed with the Tri-City Valleycats of the Frontier League. He’ll pitch there before the MLB Draft, where he’s eligible to be selected again.

- Matt Monagan at MLB told the oral history of the famous photo that featured a shirtless Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.
- Tyler Wade is apparently a Japanese heartthrob.
“Many Angels are famous in Japan because they keep showing up in photos of Ohtani; he recently informed Wade that the second baseman has many admirers abroad, and he now only addresses him as “ikemen,” which means “hot guy.”” https ://t.co/QuuGSqzKss
