One of the great things about modern technology and Major League Baseball is the ability to hear any team’s broadcast of any moment. The Nationals caught the Mets’ Keith Hernandez complaining about Juan Soto’s swing just before Soto hit a long home run … and the rest is social-media history. Elsewhere, Tigers fans still love Curtis Granderson and are willing to put their popcorn where their mouth is. And Javier Baez is a Cubs hero, even when he doesn’t start.
The Nationals have all the receipts on Keith Hernandez and the Mets here.
Juan Soto is 20 years old.
Juan Soto has played 154 @MLB games.
Here’s the Mets broadcast saying Juan Soto isn’t a HR hitter.

Curtis Granderson is a legend in Detroit, and even though that was a couple of teams ago, they still love him in the Motor City. When the Marlins visited Tuesday, Granderson got some free popcorn to share with his teammates.

Javier Baez is nursing a muscle strain and wasn’t in the Cubs lineup Tuesday night. But when they needed him, Baez had one good swing — and he only needed one — to save the day.
Zack Greinke notched his 2,500th strikeout Tuesday night, and this … this is mesmerizing.

Giants games at night can be an adventure on the bay, especially if it gets late enough that the gulls get restless.
