Crawford's 4 leadoff HR on the first pitch since 2023 are tied for most in @MLB with Kyle Schwarber-PHI and Marcus Semien-TEX.
- Locklear time baby.
With Ty France banged up, Tyler Locklear is on his way to Kansas City tonight and will be put on the roster tomorrow. https://t.co/TEi5k6tjl7

- Watching this live I thought it was foul all the way. Could not believe it when they called it fair. Don’t look now but Garver is heating up.
⚾Mitch Garver, @MitchGarver! HR (7)

- I think the only thing we know for sure isn’t going to happen on this card is the Luis Torrens’ relief appearance.
Alright well if we’re gonna do this I’m at least going to try and manifest some fun stuff https://t.co/2LAYMw3DL6 pic.twitter.com/A2mxZM1XJi

- Meanwhile the Fox Sports broadcast crew was having a wild one in the booth, first trying to incite an international incident in the second, before making a questionable, yet undeniably hilarious callback after Nick Castellanos went yard in the eighth. Pay close attention after Castellanos trots around first.
Nick Castellanos goes yard in London!

- I know they’re fourteen games under .500 going into today, but if you catch them on them on the right day the A’s are electric this year.

- Hey, remember when the Angels traded Edgar Quero, a top 100 prospect, for one month of really bad Lucas Giolito?

- Not so much including this for the actual content of the tweet (good for Jayson Werth, the fit is immaculate) but for the comment rather bluntly asking what this tweet has to do with baseball, and the person who responded by equally bluntly asking if they know who Jayson Werth is. I found the whole interaction to be rather humorous.
