Cardinals’ Joshua Báez hits 3 home runs on his first three at bats in his mlb debut, including on the first pitch he saw.

We know...  :P

I heard something that's hard to believe about the Cards recent callup. Did he hit 3 homers in his first 3 plate appearances?

This kid Joshua Baez on the Cardinals made his MLB debut today and hit home runs in his first three plate appearances. That's never been done before.

(I looked it up and he's of no relation to Javier Baez)

It’s extremely likely this kid has had the best day of his career on day one.

They were swept in San Diego last week.  Then beat the Dodgers three of four. Go figure. Cubs keep winning to keep pressure on them.  The race to see who gets the two byes is fierce

Dodgers are under Federal investigation for dirty self dealing.  Malodorous.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7522366/2026/08/18/mark-walter-delaware-life-filings-dodgers/

Quote
Mark Walter’s insurance companies are shuffling billions of dollars in investments involving affiliated businesses amid a federal investigation, regulatory filings released Tuesday show.

The filings, which offer a window into the finance mogul’s sports and business empire, also revealed that a loan tied to the Los Angeles Dodgers has been paid off almost entirely.

Two of Walter’s companies — Delaware Life Insurance Company and its affiliate Clear Spring Life and Annuity — received grand jury subpoenas in February as part of an investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, the company acknowledged. A parallel investigation is underway by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The U.S. Attorney’s Office and SEC declined to comment.

Walter did not return calls seeking comment. He is moving to sell his controlling stake in the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers and is reportedly in talks to offload his shares in the Premier League’s Chelsea FC.

Delaware Life and Clear Spring Life said investigators are looking at whether billions of dollars in investments by the companies involving businesses with ties to the insurers were improperly reported as being unaffiliated.

They probably endorsed a trade for Crews and House...

Orioles win on walkoff theft of a walk off HR. I know it’s the O’s but that was damn impressive.
