6/01/25	Seattle Mariners Fans Call Out Brother of Former Houston Astros Star For Hypocritical Posts on X. Ben Verlander, the brother of future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander and the host of the "Flippin' Bats" podcast is not in good graces with Seattle Mariners fans right now. Consider this: Back on May 7, Verlander posted on social media that the Mariners were "legit," with a video explaining why. On Saturday morning, as the Mariners entered the day 0.5 games back of the Houston Astros in the American League West, Verlander took the opportunity to dunk on the Mariners and praise Houston, where his brother previously starred.

Verlander had some stats to back it up, pointing out that the Mariners have a higher wRC+ as a team than the Los Angeles Dodgers, the reigning champs who are 24-11.

3/25/25	Tigers axing throwback feature at Comerica Park. Why was it there?. Detroit - The keyhole at Comerica Park is a goner.
