1 of 2 Trea Turner’s home runs on a national televised night between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies. Turner collected some defensive miscues but pulled out the W thanks to helpful home runs by Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh and Christopher Sanchez’ resiliency on the mound, striking out the modern Babe Ruth, Shohei Ohtani, twice!

What Went Wrong with Carlos Mendoza
Nothing went wrong with Carlos Mendoza. What truly went wrong with Mendoza is that the team was not buying in.
The team was not buying into David Stearns plan and he paid for it.
Not only did he pay for it but mostly Steve Cohen. Cohen was willing to take a huge bet from a former New York Yankees baseball coach and he paid for it.
He paid for Juan Soto with deferrals and meanwhile success did not transfer over.
This is the signs of a bad baseball team. This is what the Anaheim Angels got for keeping Perry Minasian.
The general manager did not take questions from the media and was a jerk.
I digress, maybe the New York Mets did not buy into Mendoza but so what. Mendoza will eventually succeed at another job and not feel as sorry as Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor.
Lindor felt apologetic over the entire situation and he cannot be blamed. Lindor played well one other time when he rallied the team to victories.
Lindor can start to be the leader and find the team’s true identity. Mendoza, though, was their first step forward.

Breen Cherishes the Dream!
Mike Breen cherishes the dream of a lifetime! After spending 20 years as the lead announcer for NBA ESPN on ABC, his New York Knickerbockers would go onto become just their own first franchise team since 1974 to win the Finals.
Breen respected in his roles for clutch hit-shots, delivered another excellent call when OG Anunoby tipped in the go ahead basket for a best of seven series win.
Knicks fans blaze in significant glory, and so does Breen.

The Case in the MLB CBA Pudding
Very soon MLB league officials will gather as part of a new CBA agreement. Many people think the owners will agree on a new payroll establishment while one CBA rests on the morals and values of revenue disparity.
Many do not want a lockout and more certain change has added onto the bonus of ABS, pitching clock, and other tools for the game to unlock except payroll despair. The Tampa Bay Rays currently rank first and have one of the lowest payrolls in baseball.
The Los Angeles Dodgers may be a hot topic of discussion for right now but Shohei Ohtani is a global phenomenon who busts his tail off.
More will arise out of division and defensive realignment. Rob Manfred wants to push the narrative that this is a new age of baseball.
Whatever happens, the players are owed the dignity and integrity of the sport.

Roki Sasaki Puts on a Clinic
Yesterday, Roki Sasaki played a spectacular game against the Anaheim Angels. He threw a career high seven innings to go along with eight strikeouts and no walks.
This is what the Los Angeles Dodgers wait for. This is what they plan.
Catcher Dalton Rushing, who has played great in place of Will Smith, said, ‘there is a lot more in the tank,’ absolutely praising Sasaki’s performance.
Unfortunately for Sasaki, he pitched against the last place Angels. His next matchup is against one of the best MLB lineups and that are the MIlwaukee Brewers.
Sasaki pitches with over a 5.00 ERA and maybe even though there is room for improvement, things could still turn messy for the Japanese star from the 2023 World Baseball classic. His teammate Shohei Ohtani currently pitches a 0.73 ERA.

MLB Roundup: Sailing Ship in Boston, Phillies Struggle, Rockies Accomplished What?
The Colorado Rockies accomplished a sweep over the New York Mets this past weekend. New York officially rank last in the MLB standings.
Much is to be said about New York’s loss but what about their division rival, Philadelphia Phillies? Philadelphia have long withhold most of their roster problems than New York and rank second to last in the NL East.
Alex Cora got fired. In my opinion, this is no surprise as baseball organizations cannot keep everyone around forever.
Boston Red Sox fans receive the John Henry silence.

So Soto
So, apparently New Mets outfielder Juan Soto is back in the news this time saying he has not spoken to teammates. This comes as no surprise as there were reportedly problems last year with him and former leader of the Mets clubhouse, Pete Alonso.
Now, not many legitimately know where Francisco Lindor stands in all of this but something seems fishy about the Mets situation. Just over one year ago, Soto signed a 15-year, $765 million contract with deferrals to become part of the Mets 40-man roster. Things could not get worse for the Mets as they are on a 12 game losing streak and recorded a loss to the Minnesota Twins last night.
There is no excuse for what is happening especially with GM David Stearns turn of events this offseason. He decided to flip the roster and listen to owner Steve Cohen.
Soto did not leave the New York Yankees for this and now, so far, he is paying the price.
