"(Mahomes) could miss the playoffs for the rest of his career, I wouldn't give a damn... He's still an all-time great"
KD has some words for anyone doubting Patrick Mahomes 👀

This is shaping up to be the weirdest baseball season in a decade.
With six weeks left, here are the dozen best records in MLB:
Phillies: 73-51
Dodgers: 73-52
Orioles: 73-52
Yankees: 73-52
Guardians: 72-52
Brewers: 72-52
Twins: 70-54
Padres: 70-55
Royals: 69-55
D-backs: 69-56
Astros: 67-56
Braves: 66-58
And the best run differentials:
Yankees: +116
Royals: +109
Brewers: +106
Phillies: +102
Dodgers: +101
Orioles: +90
Guardians: +78
Astros: +70
Diamondbacks: +70
Padres: +70
Twins: +70
Braves: +50
The best team in MLB is on pace for 95 wins. The last year without a 100-win team was 2014.
Similarly, the last time the top run differential in baseball was less than +231 was ... 2014. It's barely half that at the moment.
All of which is to say: A year after a 90-win wild card team faced an 86-win wild card team in the World Series, the 2024 championship looks as up for grabs as it's been in a long time.
@RoblBrenton Great atmosphere last night. The city will come around. Once they get to know the grit of this team, I can see them coming in droves. The last 3 outs were electric for McArthur - glad to see him have a clean closing.
