Will the Braves reach the playoffs without Ronald Acuña Jr.?

[@Michael-kf7gm]

Probably

[@Michael-kf7gm]

Mad respect for Ben’s words on Jorge Lopez! I’m not a Mets fan, but this really hits hard. Thanks, Ben! I hope his son gets the help he needs.

[@matthewsnyder66]

I'm really worried that Ben and Alex in the next couple of weeks are going to pull out Katana blades and duel to the death over the Astros. But Alex is right. lol (P.S. Good commentary by Ben on the total lack of patience and and empathy for what is happening with Lopez.)

[@wethechampz]

Shout to Ben. Learning about the Nego Leagues as a kid was really cool. So glad the stats are integrated

[@AnthonyMartinezmartinez2]

They should integrate softball stats and special Olympic stats into the MLB as well. ❄️

[@ravenlunatic1168]

🤦‍♂️

[@RealJeffTidwell]

The Astros haven’t been great, but they’re not the Mets

[@jaybarnes8034]

The Braves need Zack Hample,

[@abretado1294]

⚾️

[@GoatOnGanja]

As an Ms fan WHO, 4:35 LET ME SCREAM IT WHO HATES THE ATROS, they dont look like the Astros from past. That team misses dusty baker. On a better note MY MS ARE WINNING THIS DIVISION

[@AnthonyMartinezmartinez2]

Imagine never winning a pennant.

[@Michael-kf7gm]

Seattle barely scores any runs. Either the Astros or Rangers will jump them.😊

[@GoatOnGanja]

@Michael-kf7gm seattles offense has found its rythym. Thats true. But if history serves me right their bats dont heat up until end of june anyway sooooooooo good luck cathcing us when Julio figures it out when the Mitchs' start hitting and even JP isnt himself. Even if they dont good luck trying to score more then 3 runs against our pitching.

[@GoatOnGanja]

@DanteLozada. Yankees shouldve won all 4but they are a money team highest paid players SHOULD beat a 54% team. I wasnt talking shit on the Yanks and the East i was saying the west will go through seattle this year and NOT Texas

[@Michael-kf7gm]

@@GoatOnGanja We’ll have to wait and see.

[@Michael-kf7gm]

It’s crazy that y’all are doing a special segment for a single player who batted .174 🤣. Just blame it on the hamstring. 🙄

[@harmonydavis6784]

Did the Mets do Jorge López a disservice by not having a translator?

[@ShaunfromAustralia]

My my my, what the hell is happening with your hair!!!!

[@Michael-kf7gm]

I love Alex’s rant about the Astros! It’ll make it that much sweeter when Ben tells her I told you so at the end of the season when the Astros make the playoffs.

[@theguywholikesturtlez]

Agreed

[@ShawnFerguson-ng2pc]

playoff teams are rarely 7 games under .500 at the end of May. the Astros don't have the IT factor.

[@andrewsebaugh]

That might be true but the AL west sucks as a whole so 5 games out is not insurmountable

[@AnthonyMartinezmartinez2]

7 straight ALCS says they do.🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼

[@sogifrogi1]

I appreciate Ben’s comment about pets heads falling off😂

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

Totally agree with Ben's take on Jorge Lopez. In addition to everything he mentioned, Alex also right on point insofar the language issue and there have been much worse displays on the field across different sports. Antonio Brown (when he was with the TB Bucs) took his shirt off in the middle of a game, walked off, and abandoned his team.

[@harmonydavis6784]

I'm so glad that the Negro league stats are going to be combined! My boy Satchel Paige is why I became a baseball fan
