MLB Daily Notes - July 13th
A daily automated report of what happened yesterday in Major League Baseball, along with other recent trends and further analysis.
I do not have any time to write anything today, I apologize. We have company here for the weekend, so I can’t sit here and galavant around the keyboard. Maybe more tomorrow morning, but if nothing else we’ll do a full weekend and first half recap on Monday.
