• The Angels are concerned about the mental health of Alek Manoah, after he inexplicably ran around the clubhouse last Saturday carrying an otter and shouting "My tinkle came! My tinkle came!" after a short outing where he gave up eight runs, and if he can't go, will have to be replaced by Victor Mederos, who is still nursing a diagnosis of Castaway Disease, or Jose Soriano.


• There is no Bailey Falter on the Red Sox staff, but Patrick Sandoval, Tanner Houck and Jordan Hicks are as snobby as any group out there.


• Rocco Baldelli expects Alex Jackson to win a gold glove this year, but he could have competition for fielding glory from his own teammates Royce Lewis, whose quickness drill end new impressive performance should work wonders, and James Outman.


• The Braves would like to find a first base upgrade, and Alex Anthopoulos even thought awhile about trading Dylan Dodd for Xavier Edwards after Braxton Fulford refused a deal to Atlanta.

a day in the life of john schneider

John Schneider's tirade about
              George Springer

this week was an eruption of his frustrations about trying to change a happy culture

and when
              Springer takes
six straight strikes without swinging

it is a natural lack of aggression

and you might as well send a designated hitter
up to the plate swinging a piano
for all the good it will do

so while
Ross Atkins is trying to acquire players that
will like

such as
              Adley Rutschman

Ryan Walker

or
              Cristian Javier

is isn't easy
when you only have
angry talents to deal from

like
              Angel Bastardo

Shane Bieber

(who is incidentally battling a contused appendix)

and Jonatan Clase
