i heavily review Korean and Japanese baseball every morning and they don't have a clock there. One of the games went 4 hours last week and went to 10 innings.

Umpire Jim Wolf did not grant new Chicago Cub Cody Bellinger any pitch clock leeway as he reunited with his former Dodgers’ fan base.  The outfielder was excited to return to his original MLB home and was given a tribute prior to the game at Dodger Stadium on Friday night — marking his first time back against his former team of six years.  

Bellinger, 27, was also given a warm welcome as he made his way to the plate for his first at-bat to lead off the top of the second inning, but Wolf didn’t allow him to relish in it.

As Bellinger stepped into the batter’s box to set himself up, Wolf raised his hands, calling a time violation on him for not being set for the first pitch in time.

Jordan Walker gets sent down.  Need to be patient with him. Help me understand this: he has a .718 OPS and an OPS+ of 101. His WAR is -0.4. Juan Soto has a .720 OPS and an OPS+ of 106. His WAR is 0.5. 
 

How does that make sense?

 

Defense I'd guess.

I’d buy that if Soto was a good defender. He’s not. And with under 25 games this season, a can’t see how a corner OF’s defense would have that big of an impact.  It’s just strange to me.

 

Also oWAR was 0.5 to 0.1.

Having a bunch of oft injured, incredibly expensive players is not a great recipe for success. 

Philadelphia Phillies join the conversation with a bunch of aging, overpaid players.

Plus their pitching has been terrible. 14th in the NL. Even with a healthy Harber and Hoskins, I don't think they'd be in that much better shape.

Trading O'Hoppe for Syndergaard was particularly stupid.
