I challenge you to stream a Reds game with Thom Brennamen announcing. I'm giving 3-1 odds that he talks right through a hard out break to commercial. Happens every game.

The Boston Red Sox are ranked 21st in win to payroll efficiency. With a payroll of $227mm and 85 wins, they are at $2.68 million per win.
Oakland is the best at $1.114 million per win. They have the 4th most wins in MLB with 71 and they are doing it with the 3rd lowest payroll.
Top 10 (win total with lowest payroll ratio)

Who’s in first?
In overall payroll? Boston.
You know what I’m saying.....do I have to start pulling a pixalot move and not quote your posts?
You know they are in 1st. They are putting together one of the best seasons of all time. But it won't mean shit if they don't win it all.
They are the “GOAT”
Sox can't handle Pivetta's high heat tonight
@Robbie Hart, what's going on?

You toss that word around like Dana White and it's just as meaningless
Exactly.....though it’s different if I use it
Things are getting interesting in the NL Central.
Chicago leads but has been playing .500 ball of late. Brewers are playing .500 ball as well and remain 2 back. But the Cards have made a charge, winning 7 in a row and now find themselves at 4 back. Could be setting up for a 3 team race.
Elsewhere -
NL East - Braves lead the Phillies by 2 games.
NL West - 3 teams in contention. Arizona leads. Colorado has ripped off 4 wins in a row and is 1 back. LA Dodgers continue their skid (lost 5 in a row and 7 of their last 10) and now find themselves 2 games back and in 3rd place.
AL West - Oakland is charging for Houston. Houston has lost 5 in a row, Oakland has won 4 in a row and now find themselves only 1 game back.
Unless there is a complete collapse, The AL East (Boston up 10) and the AL Central (Cleveland up 12.5) are all but wrapped up.
Give or take - about 40 games left in the season.

So after hitting 8 HRs in his last 8 games, including 4 against Miami in the previous 3 games, Ronald Acuna was beaned by Jose Urena on the first pitch of last night's game.
It was a 97.5 mph four seamer thrown right at him. Chest level. Normally a 95 to 96 mph guy, it was the fastest pitch Urena had thrown all season.
I'm good with pitching inside. Part of the game. But intentionally plunking a dude on the first pitch of the game? That's bush league.

He should be suspended the rest of the year, plunking people b/c they're kicking your ass is one of the unwritten rules that needs to go. Keith Hernandez had some stupid thoughts about it too, that's the only person I've seen defend it
It's weak. Pitch inside if you want him uneasy. No need to plunk his ass with a 97 mph fastball.
Those 2 teams play again at the end of the month. I'm sure he'll still be suspended, but I'd love to see Urena start one of those games. Have Foltynewicz put one right in his ear hole.
Daniel Murphy to the Cubs and Matt Adams to the Cards...
Saw that. I guess they couldn't afford Harper. Just a matter of time now.
LMAO! I missed this when it happened.
Love this kid!

Rumor mill was saying that the Dodgers claimed Harper but they couldn't get a deal in place for him.
Who knows? If true, I'm kind of glad that they claimed him and the Yankees didn't have a chance.
As long as he doesnt go to the scrubs i am fine with him leaving.
