👍 The Good — Raleigh & Schwarber

They might not walk away with MVP trophies — but what a pair of seasons.

Seattle’s Cal “Big Dumper” Raleigh (seriously, best nickname in baseball) just became the first catcher in MLB history to hit 60 home runs in a season — and he did it as a switch-hitter. He’s carried the Mariners into October with bat speed and bad intentions. Whether it’s enough to dethrone Aaron Judge is another story — but Raleigh’s season is one for the record books.

Meanwhile in Philly, Kyle Schwarber has been his own kind of wrecking crew. We all remember the epic All-Star Game swing-off and that four-homer night. Now he’s sitting on 56 homers and 132 RBIs — the most by a Phillie since Ryan Howard’s MVP run — powering the Phils to a runaway NL East title.

Only hitch? Out west, Shohei Ohtani is still doing Shohei things: 54 bombs and pitching like an ace.

But MVP or not, Raleigh and Schwarber just gave us two seasons we won’t soon forget.

👎 The Bad — Dodgers’ Bullpen Blues

For all the money the Dodgers have spent, you’d think they could buy a bullpen. Nope.

The rotation is stacked: Yamamoto (All-Star), Snell (two-time Cy), Ohtani (enough said), Glasnow, others waiting in the wings. An embarrassment of riches.

And then the starter hands over the ball… yikes. Night after night, the bullpen turns gems into fire drills. Dave Roberts has the Ferrari lineup, the luxury rotation, and a relief corps held together with duct tape.

The bullpen has blown 27 saves this season.

If the Dodgers hope to have any success in October, they’ll need to dip into that starting surplus for relief. Shohei the closer? Don’t laugh — stranger things have happened.

In the end, the old saying still holds: money can’t buy you a bullpen.

🙈 The Ugly — Rays of Darkness

So the Tampa Bay Rays have new ownership. Congrats!

Meanwhile, former owner Stuart Sternberg must be laughing all the way to the bank. He bought the team in 2005 for $200 million — and just walked away with $1.7 billion. Not a bad return, Stu.

The new owners? They’ve got a hell of a chore.

Step one: get this team out of that minor league park and into a real stadium.
Step two: prove you’re willing to actually invest in the roster.

For years, the Rays operated like a farm system in disguise — develop talent, then flip ‘em when the check comes due.

Tampa and their West Coast cousins, the Athletics, are playing in minor league ballparks, drawing fewer than 10,000 fans a night.

It’s embarrassing.

How is this good for baseball when the Dodgers are packing in nearly 50,000 a night? Come on, Commish.

MLB keeps talking expansion.
Maybe fix the bottom feeders first.

⚾ One for the Road — Yogi’s Biggest Catch

As everyone knows, Yogi Berra had a way with words. But the scene last week in New Jersey might have left him speechless.

From California to Florida they came to Yogi Berra Stadium — Little League teams, former MLB players, local politicians — all grabbing gloves for the largest game of catch in history. Yankees great Willie Randolph summed it up best: “Yogi loved bringing people together.”

And bring them together he did. More than 1,100 pairs filled the field, tossing, laughing, connecting — the way Yogi always did. When it was over, a new Guinness World Record was set: 1,179 pairs.

Pure Yogi: joyful, humble, bigger than the game itself. And this catch? Let’s just say it was déjà vu all over again.
