MLB The Show podcast Charlie O Sun May 25, 2025:

#1 Between games of a doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Alex Bregman had a significant injury. The injury is similar to the one he had back in 2021 when h e was out for two months. The injury put Bregman on the ten day IL with a right quad strain.

#2 New York Mets Juan Soto said after hitting the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher’s Tony Gonsolin’s splitter that was right over the plate in the bottom of the fourth inning with two down and the bags loaded “Don’t catch it” as Soto wound up getting a double and drove in runs that led to 5-2 win. Soto breaks out of his slump. Soto in five at bats had two hits and two RBIs on Saturday night.

 #3 Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees says he a work in progress and he’s saying that after he hit back to back home runs on two consecutive nights at Coors Field in Denver against the Colorado Rockies in a 13-1 win. Judge is hitting .395, with 18 home runs and 46 RBIs. If he’s a work in progress than you can only wonder what his finished work will look like?

#4 The Texas Rangers continue to have more troubles in losing players after it was learned that Joc Pederson broke his right hand when he was hit by a 87.5 mph cutter by White Sox right hand pitcher Bryse Wilson. Pederson hit the ground after he was hit. Ironically Pederson stayed in the game and scored on Marcus Seimien’s sac fly. Pederson is in a two year contract with the Rangers worth $37 million. The Rangers are on a six game losing streak

#5 The A’s continue with their losing streak as it reaches 11 games. In the bottom of the tenth inning the bases loaded sac fly to the Philadelphia Phillies centerfielder Brandon Marsh threw the ball to catcher Realmuto for the sweep tag on the A’s base runner Logan Davidson review ruled Davidson out. The Phillies wind up scoring three runs in the top of the 11th inning and put the A’s away 9-6.

MLB The Show podcast with Charlie O:

#1 They’re already talking about who is going to be the AL MVP and it’s an easy guess once again the Los Angeles Angels MVP from 2022 and sure fire 2023 season two way player Shohei Ohtani.

#2 Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin has been placed on the 15 day IL and manager Dave Roberts told reporters before today’s game that Gonsolin will not pitch again for the rest of the season. Gonsolin got racked up by the Miami Marlins for five home runs on Friday and Roberts had but no choice to put him on the shelf.

#3 New York Mets Starling Marte who has been plagued by injuries all season, this season has felt bad coming off of surgery to repair of core muscle on both sides of his groin. Marte’s legs were bothering him and he looked slower on the field and looked slow going after simple fly balls. Marte also was complaining of migraines.

#4 The Mets first baseman Pete Alonso got some ink over throwing St Louis Cardinal rookie Masyn Wynn’s first big league hit ball into the stands. They had to promise that fan a song to get that ball back. Alfonso felt bad and apologized to Wynn but Wynn in essence said don’t worry about it I wasn’t paying attention to the ball either.

#5 The Los Angeles Angels are just have just having a tough time of it on Friday night they got a grand slam from Ohtani and a triple play and lost on Saturday as in the Tropical Storm doubleheader the Angels lost the front game to the Tampa Bay Rays 7-6 and lost the night cap in a laugher 18-4.
