Pujols with another Dinger. He's now hit more HR this year than he has since 2016. That's kinda fishy

Think he may have found a Pharmaceutical Fountain of Youth?

Turns out, his lying about his age was about him being younger than he said, initially.

He's hit 24 this year.

He hit 23 in 2019 and 2017. It's not THAT fishy.

His barrel rate is way up, which is the biggest reason his hard hit % is better. There's no drug available that allows you to barrel a ball better. Barry had drugs to make him stronger, but his now banned elbow pad was what really helped his swing get through the zone consistently.

The Mets' pitchers have K'd 12 of the first 15 outs by the Nats.

Is a record in the making?

[dgalehouse]

Any playoff predictions? I would say that the Dodgers are clearly the favorites. But I like the Mets chances. They have a lineup that can score enough to win. They have DeGrom and Scherzer with Diaz to close. Showalter is one of the best managers in the game and he is way overdue to win one. They have to get by a dangerous Padres team in the crap shoot , but I think it could be their year.

[moonslav59]

I think the Astros win it all vs the Mets.
