He's one of those guys who has a chance to be a stud in the postseason if he has a chance. Now he didn't do well in his one series in the postseason, but I think he's one of those guys who may have a few game winning hits in the post season in him if the Angels go further and he's healthy. Hiring Ron Washington is a slight upgrade over Phil Nevin and Washington was with the Braves the last few years, so he may have learned a thing or two since leaving as manager of the Texas Rangers in 2014 (he resigned due to personal issues that are hopefully resolved). Unless the Rangers, Astros and Mariners completely falter and the Angels get on a hot streak, Trout will be missing the playoffs again. Now if he's content with that because it's a chance to live in Southern California then so be it.

He also grew up in South Jersey, rooting for the Eagles, Flyers and 76ers.

It also got a little known Virginia Senator named Louise Lucas a lot of attention. The Commanders will probably end up back in RFK, if DC can afford it.

Trout to go along with Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Nick Castellanos, Trea Turner and JT Realmuto would be fun to watch.

It's going to come to a point where he has to demand a trade. It may not be now, but it would have to be soon if things get worse for the Angels. Whether or not the Angels will acquiesce to his trade demands, remains to be seen.

The song playing in Trout's head during baseball season:

Probably do a better job than Kadarius Toney....at everything.

The Texas Rangers will be raising their World Series banner and handing out rings this weekend. All Rangers fans have been waiting 52 years for this to happen. They have now won more championships than the Dallas Cowboys in the 29 years.

With the Amazon Game, that will also be streamed on Twitch for free.

Once MLB (and I think the FBI) finish their investigation on this and say that Ippei was the only one involved, then it's a dead story and we move on to the season at hand.

That is what I thought. NBA Centers these days are quite athletic and even have a 3 point game.

Caitlin Clark's run in the Women's Tournament isn't going to end well, but she's on her way out anyways and headed to the Indiana Fever of the WNBA. On the Men's Side, I have been watching Purdue closely and Zach Edey is super interesting to me because I want to see how he turns out in the NBA.

For those with closer knowledge of DC area sports, can Washington DC afford to keep the Caps and Wizards and also get a new stadium done at the old RFK site for the Commanders?

Macario would be a huge signing for the NWSL if she was to ever decide to play in the States again, not the USL Super League. Now the question might be "if she's so great, why didn't she play for Team USA in the Women's World Cup last year?" well, there's an easy explanation for that: she was at the time recovering from a torn ACL.

It's the USL Super League that is going to start playing this fall. The USL W-League is a developmental Women's League. Also if Macario was to ever play in the US, it will be in the NWSL. She has ties to San Diego (moved there as a kid) and the San Francisco Bay Area (went to Stanford) so it probably won't be an MLS situation where "high profile international player wants to play in MLS but only for the two LA teams, the two New York teams or Inter Miami" as we expect will happen to Neymar if he wants to play in the US. This is the USL Super League: USL Super League - Wikipedia USL Super League

With the USL Championship and USL Super League (the Women's League), is the USL dealing with delusions of grandeur? The USL diehards want the USL Championship to compete against the MLS and are upset that the USSF have sanctioned them as Division II. There's also some in the USL Championship who also believe that they should compete with the MLS. This isn't happening for two reasons: In order to compete with MLS, they have to go toe-to-toe with them for talent. It is unlikely that they have the finances to compete for Neymar should Neymar want to play in the US. USL Championship teams folding doesn't help their cause. Rio Grande Valley FC and San Diego Loyal folded. If they wanted to compete with MLS, at least consider relocation. As for USL Super League? Well....the best US player not in NWSL is Catarina Macario. If she wants to play in the US, does she go NWSL or USL Super League. If she goes USL Super League, it would be their biggest signing ever. If she goes to the NWSL, what chances does the Super League have? Also, two of the teams in the NWSL are owned by USL teams, so it will be interesting to see what happens with the North Carolina Courage and Racing Louisville.

His first game as a Dodger only.

this is University of Texas at Rio Grande Valley, who will have a football team next year:

Shohei went 2-5 with an RBI and a Stolen Base
