FT Leadoff

Jorge López Keeps it Real, Imanaga is Human, Skenes Bday Bash

Following his ejection in the eighth inning of Wednesday’s loss, Jorge López LAUNCHED his glove over the dugout, then proceeded to utter arguably the realest remark we’ve heard all season.

López later claimed his comments were a combination of being the worst teammate on the worst team, but regardless, they resulted in the Mets DFA’ing him.

Tune in to FT Live this afternoon to hear our thoughts on López’s WILD comments.

Turns out Shōta Imanaga is human after all.

The Brewers became the first team to score more than two earned runs off Imanaga this season, yet his ERA is still sub-two.

Context - For what it’s worth, we at Foul Territory take zero responsibility for jinxing Imanaga before yesterday’s outing.

The former No. 1 overall pick has a 2.45 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and a strikeout percentage of 33.9% through his first four career starts.
