2025 MLB

[Whitecloudminnowguy09]

Ronald Acuna Jr from the Braves will not participate in the 2025 HOME RUN derby in Atlanta, today. 1B Matt Olson will take the spot in the derby. Acuna said he had back tightness, was not himself in last nights game (started at 2 but ended at 8 cuz of 4 hours of total rain delays!). Matt will look to win the derby tn for his home town. Hope he does, my fav player!! Also James Wood could be a favorite tn.
Number 1 pick last night for the NATS was Eli Willits who is 17. Youngest player ever to get drafted number ONE!!
Also a update about braves Manager. Brian Snitker is expected to retire after his 2025 campaign. He has been in the ATL braves organization for 47 years! Or somewhere close to that LOL.

Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes are starting pitching for AL and NL tom. BOI OH BOI will that be a sight to see.

Cleveland's 3rd base Jose Raneriz is also skipping the all star game for pretty much the same reason. He has recently been hit by pitches on both hands and has a sore leg. While he enjoys the mid season game he is more concerned with his actual team and feels that he better serves the team by skipping the game and getting over some nagging injuries.

When would you ever think there would be a home run swing off to decide a MLB baseball game? Is this a dream??? What a game.

Actually I forgot about the game while watching the new How To Train Your Dragon movie. I may watch it later today via streaming.
