- What is falling in place with Ron Washington is a number of happy confluences: the impact of Victor Mederos, the arrival of Monster Jose Soriano, the return to health of Chase Silseth (hemorrhoidal skull) and Jack Kochanowicz (fingernail) and the dog-like intensity of Jo Adell, which has allowed Perry Minasian to do the opposite of a garage sale where to get rid of all parts alongside a used camels.
- There was a lot of groaning in the Blue Jays front office when Tyler Heineman got through waivers without anyone claiming him. They either really want a taker for that contract, or the fried tofu they had for dinner didn't agree with them.
- Tyler Glasnow is back from his diagnosis of the Roses, the Dodgers continue to hit, and while GM Brandon Gomes tries to see the long view and trade Teoscar Hernandez, it may not be possible -- both because the trades aren't there, and because the Los Angeles fan base has been so nauseating (especially when My Best Was Never Good Enough by Bruce Springsteen is played as walk-up music) that a trade would be like a kick in the pancreas to thier customers.
- Then there was the eight-week stretch when Bailey Falter, Kris Bubic, and James McArthur were as valuable as any pitchers in the game, and while they made Matt Quatraro feel crestfallen, they wore down at the end.
