That's awesome. Not sure if that will persuade me to watching the game or not but maybe..

Nice to have a couple guys that actually deserved making the team and not just added because we have to have one.

Its good to be past the "Soto" years. I guess that is progress.

Soto was a decent RP for a couple years he made the AS. Which is actually sad that we had no one better..

List of players with a higher slugging percentage than Greene since May 29: Aaron Judge, Yordan Álvarez, Shohei Ohtani, Bryce Harper and Gunnar Henderson.

That's quite the list.

Skubal was a lock. I am a little surprised that Greene made it.

Skubal was a lock. I am a little surprised that Greene made it.

He's 4th in WAR for AL OF. He deserved it. He had like a 15 game stretch in the middle of the 1st half that he had a .420 ops but was well over .900 ops in the 30+ games before and almost 1.000 ops in the almost 40 games after.

I honestly didn't even realize he had been THAT good until I just looked it up
