You know I forgot all about how I hated the current wild-card set up last year. I complained last year that division winners shouldn't be involved in such chaos. I guess I still agree with that, but I didn't think of it once during this past week and that's even with my team involved in it. I'm never going to get to Grandpa Simpson status at this rate. But I like my postseason atti...2025

Zac Gallen, SP, Arizona Diamondbacks Gallen shocked the world a bit here by posting a 6 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 8 K outing against the Dodgers. I say it's shocking because of how bad Gallen has been in 2025. The former ace is posting career worsts in xwOBACON (.405), K% (21.1%), and Barrel rate (10%). According to Fangraphs, the Stuff+ across his whole arsenal is at a career low of 92. I'm not expect...2025
