Apparently they'll be doing routine checks at least twice per game between innings.

A bunch of baseball vids are trending on twitter now and they're literally all just umpires demanding that players unbuckle their pants and allow themselves to be patted down. Another fantastic move by Rob Manfred.
Looks like the Orioles are going to try to compete with the Dbacks this season to see who can push the all-time road losing streak record the furthest. They lost their 20th road game in a row during a 9-0 blowout to the Blue Jays last night. They play the Jays through Sunday so there's a decent chance that they hit 23 games (the number that Arizona currently holds as the record.) If Toronto can fend them off for the sweep it doesn't really get any easier as Baltimore heads to Houston after that.
Brooks Robinson sacrificed his body just for the Orioles to be a joke for over half the fifty years after his career.
The Cubs just finished a 4-0 combined no-hitter of the Dodgers in LA. Zach Davies started the game and gave up 5 walks through his 6 innings, and then relievers Ryan Tepera, Andrew Chafin and Craig Kimbrel each pitched an inning (while issuing a walk apiece.) This matches the modern era record for the most no-hitters thrown in one season (7) and we're not even at the All-Star break.
Speaking of Kimbrel, he's really gotten his shit together again after his first two atrocious years (only 36 innings, but still) with his Cubs. After tonight's game he's got an 0.59 ERA on the year through 30.1 innings with 20 saves and a whopping 52 strikeouts (that's 15.42 K's per 9 innings.) He's undoubtedly a lock for his eighth All-Star Game, barring an injury.

Aaron Nola of the Phillies struck out ten consecutive Mets, tying the record set by former Met Tom Seaver.
Toronto's bullpen blew a 5-1 lead on Friday to Baltimore which ended the Orioles' road losing streak at 20 games. Toronto proceeded to go and blow them out again on Saturday, and are track to win again this afternoon barring another bullpen implosion. Meanwhile, Arizona beat San Diego on Saturday to end their MLB record road losing streak at 24 games.
Today the first ejection of a pitcher for using a foreign substance happened. Hector Santiago of the Mariners got kicked out in the middle of the 5th inning while playing the White Sox in Chicago.
And if you want to feel old, Derek Jeter turned 47 years-old yesterday.

As far as New York sports go:
>Knicks eliminated from first round playoffs
>Nets eliminated from second round playoffs
>Islanders won’t make it to Stanley Cup this year
I’m wondering if the Mets have the chance to make it to the Wild Card this year. The Yankees are having a (slightly) rough season right now.

I think the Mets could win the division. They've played 2, 4 and 2 games fewer than Washington, Atlanta and Philadelphia, respectively. They've got a 5 game lead over the second place Nats at the moment (although that will likely shrink to 4 as the Mets look like they're going to lose to the Phils while the Nats look like they'll beat Miami today as of writing.)
They've done this with Francisco Lindor hitting well below his normal production, but he's been coming on a bit recently. Jeff McNeil has also been producing well below what's typical for him, while also missing significant time this year. The pitching has been really good for them even with David Peterson (who has looked a lot better in his last three starts, the first two coming against the Cubs and Nationals) being a weak spot in the rotation so far, and not having Noah Syndergaard or Carlos Carrasco even throw a single pitch.
If they can remain relatively healthy (especially deGrom who has been nothing short of scary this year) and see Lindor and McNeil return to hitting like they should be, a division title isn't crazy to think about. Assuming they don't suffer a massive collapse between now and the end of July they'll probably add to the team, too. The next month will be really telling as they've got a bunch of games against Atlanta, a series against the Yankees and a series against Toronto. They do, however go into the All-Star break against Pittsburgh, and then also come out of the break with a series against them which should lead to some easy wins.
tl;dr - I think they can with the AL East which looks like it's easier to win than a Wild Card spot considering how good the records are for the Giants, Dodgers, Padres, and whichever team doesn't with the Central between the Brewers and Cubs.
They're nearly as bad as the futuristic jerseys from the 90s.
But fuck that guy. I'm a total autist about unis and logos too but his whole crusade against Chief Wahoo was one of the gayest and most obnoxious things I've ever seen.

Wait and see if he'll be lucky as Ray Rice to avoid jail .
I'm not going to bother signing up for an account to The Athletic to view the article in full, but they've released some details about this restraining order against Trevor Bauer. I'll quote the part that can be seen:
If this shit is true he's done with baseball, at least MLB. Considering that a lot of people don't like him to begin with based on his personality, that hammer would be dropped on him hard.
IIRC Trevor Bauer is a good little leftist, so he's not going anywhere.
