Noah Cameron is one of our 3 big breakout guys this year. Mikeal Garcia, Kris Bubic, and Noah Cameron were all 3 guys on the bubble coming into the year who have broke out this year. Cameron might get the Cy Young.
(Fun fact, he’s a local guy from small town St. Joseph, Missouri which is where Eminem is from and where his Great Aunt Edna always lived who he raps about and lived with a lot growing up and they did some local news stories about her and it was really cute cause they interviewed this old lady in 99’ and she was like “oh I don’t know much about it , but he was always a’rapppin but nothin doin, but boy when he started doing that Slim Shady, welp, welp, that about got them.” ;D )
Sean Manea sure rings a bell. He actually won a World Series for us without ever actually playing for us. We drafted him and traded him for… wait for it… wait for it… it’s a name that’s gonna give you nightmares, a half season rent-a-player that destroyed your hopes and dreams in 2015 and then did the same thing with the Cubs the very next year getting a World Series MVP Ben Freaking Zobrist !!!!!
In my opinion—Manea—he’s like one of those slightly above average guys that can get overpaid in a big city like New York. He gave up the game to the bottom of our order and let a .94 guy Tolbert we only use for pinch running single and score the winning run off him.
I’m sure you’re happy though to have Manea back healthy and his arm looked good for most of his outing.
…As for Ragans he’s had nagging injuries his whole career including this one, some even thought he’d be out for the season this year but he got a second opinion and he’s gonna try to give it a go after the All Star Break but who knows. Not to mention, you know we also had Brady Singer (solid #3 starter for the Reds this year) but traded him for India? That just shows you how stacked the pitching is in Kansas City. That’s our winning formula, great pitching and then relying on Bobby Baseball on offense.
Can’t believe you guys got to our big dog Estevez not once but twice in the series—and with a pinch hitter! Estevez is in the All Star game this week and you got to him twice!

funny thing about Zobrist is that we were one of the teams interested to sign him after 2015...I think the holdup was the amount of years he wanted...if we did he might have been the difference since we ended up making the WC in 2016 but losing to San Francisco

That guy was phenomenal and even better in big games. For sure you guys should’ve just given him whatever he wanted because you would’ve won in 16’ with him.
I couldn’t believe the Royals were already returning ALCS champs in 15’, we started red hot and were in first place all year and then, and then….—and then at the trade deadline we got Johnny Cueto and Ben Freaking Zobrist!! Are you kidding me!?!
By the way, correction, I accidently said Cy Young for Noah Cameron—I meant rookie of the year.

Pete Alonso with a 3 run shot at the All Star Game...good stuff 8)
and the game ended in a swing-off...I like this rule for the All-Star game, its an exhibition anyway

Yeah, these next 6 games are big for a lot of teams because the trade deadline coming up. Are the Mets in the market to give up some prospects to help their post-season push?
