The glass is half-full!

 




Good news! 

Jazz "50-50" Chisholm is well on the way to attaining half of his 2026 goals for a 50-home run, 50-stolen base season!


Jazz, seen here preparing for the FIFA 2026 World Cup, already has 7 stolen bases in just 8 attempts. Projected over a full, 162-game season, that would give Chisholm 63 total stolen bases in 72 tries, thereby smashing his own projection all to bits.

Whoa, we're halfway there!

As for the home run part, well...we did say, "glass half-full."

Perhaps we need another goal?  Maybe, say, 50 hits?

Whoa, livin' on a prayer!

If is goal were to be a Moron, he is already there!

But, edb, Boone says he's intelligent. Still cracks me up.

Carl, I love VolpE-6. Perfect.

JM said...

I guess this will serve as the game thread? They just started.

JM said...

Ouch. Peraza tagged Fried. 2-0

Huge lollipop served up by Fried on that one.

The King of the first inning.

Judgerino.

Boone needs to tell jizz to stop challenges until he figures out the strike zone

BTR999 said...

Always a smart move to burn your challenges in non-key situations

JM said...

Stanton!

JM said...

Oh, doctor. JC got a hit.

Bonus points if you get the current event pun there.

Looks as though the NY Yankees got Boone'd in the Sixth inning.

Is there a Rally in their Boone's ?

JM said...

Cab steals then gets picked off. So we get JC to lead off. Just swell.

Trout should have been a Yankee…

Can we DFA Millie Chivilli?

HoraceClarke66 said...

I finally did! Good one!

AboveAverage said...

Whilst they're at it - I can suggest at least three or four more folks in that dugout that I'd like to see DFA'd.

Looks like the complete game package today! Let's review:

—Four outs—count 'em, FOUR OUTS–lost on the base paths through seven innings.
—Max Fried with one of his inexplicably awful games ("You can't hope to stop Oswald Peraza, all you can do is contain him.")
—Boone doing his bit by refusing—REFUSING—to pitch around Mike Trout, no matter how many home runs he hits.
—A bullpen that's burnt out by mid-April.
—An increasingly desperate Judge trying to hit a grand slam with nobody on base.
—The Master Plan coming through again, as Judge hits second, and Bellinger hits behind him...
