So, the week I was in Chicago for the Blogathon, I ate very poorly. It was one of those “I deserve this” situations, and I don’t necessarily blame my past self. But do you know how much damage you can do to the scale when you’re eating multiple donuts and pints of ice cream a day for a week? A lot, it turns out. Quite a bit faster putting it on than taking it off …
Matthew Boyd better at least be 6th on a list like this (and, I’d agree with Alex Cohen, Boyd should actually be about two or three spots higher than that):Matthew Boyd: 11-4, 2.34 ERA, 1.03 WHIPLogan Webb: 10-8, 3.24 ERA, 1.25 WHIPWebb strikes out a lot of guys and has impressive FIP, but overall, Matthew Boyd has been better this year. t.co/viavfgOwwB
— Alex Cohen (@voiceofcohen2) August 7, 2025 Boyd starts tonight for the Cubs in St. Louis as they open up a weekend set against the Cardinals. And if they want to go ahead and no play spoiler, that’d be swell. Shōta Imanaga on the state of the division race (Marquee): “It’s a long season. At times, there are going to be a couple games out, but I think you really can’t do anything special to shorten the difference. What’s important is taking it a game at a time and the most important thing is what happens at the end. So you just need to continue to try your best and do your best.” That’s about it. The Cubs can’t shrink a division lead by three games in a day by playing extra super special awesome that day. Just keep trying to win that day’s game. … and then when the Brewers come to Wrigley Field for five games later this month, win all of those. What’s interesting here is that the Braves have been deeply disappointing this season from the jump, yet their revenues have grown significantly:The Atlanta Braves' revenues are up 12 percent through the first six months of the year. Terry McGuirk said the team could have added payroll at the trade deadline.“What we have built in Atlanta is the model that every other MLB franchise is chasing" t.co/ZneyyaTZvz
— Evan Drellich (@EvanDrellich) August 7, 2025 Some of that is tied to the then-approaching All-Star Game and festivities, of course, but – thanks to Braves financial info being tied to their publicly-traded owner – we can see that they grew revenue in a variety of areas. Makes you wonder about revenue growth for, say, a large-market club that has been exciting and competitive for most of the year.

— Tommy Birch (@TommyBirch) August 7, 2025 The Myrtle Beach Pelicans, who swept yesterday’s double-header, are blowing out the second half of the Carolina League in a way that is so beyond ridiculous it’s difficult to describe. Their 28-10 record doesn’t really do it justice:2025 Carolina League Second Half Run Differential Rankings:1. Myrtle Beach +1012. Fayetteville +133. Carolina +124. Hickory +44. Kannapolis +46. Charleston -8 …12. Columbia -29Hard to put into words how dominant this stretch of Pelicans baseball has been
— Banks Totten (@banks_totten) August 8, 2025 The reasons there are layered, and it could shift as more short-season players (and drafted players) arrive in the league, but you’re looking at a club with so much good pitching, and also that had a whole lot of really young position players struggling in the first half and then taking developmental steps forward. Maybe that’s partly a story I want to tell myself, but I think the numbers and the names bear it out. Jose Escobar has been ridiculous lately. Angel Cepeda has been ridiculous lately. Ty Southisene has been ridiculous lately. Alexey Lumpuy has been ridiculous lately. Matt Halbach has been ridiculous lately. Christian Olivo has been ridiculous lately. Eli Lovich and Derik Alcantara have maybe been the only offensive guys who haven’t been ridiculous, and they’ve been about average. ete Crow-Armstrong:1/1 PCA bat relic with nameplate pic.twitter.com/4yHB5cfM7c
