A’s Pitching Shoves, Royals Drop 14 & Yankees Get Slammed | BD Baseball June 19, 2026

Solo BD Baseball for Friday, June 19. I’m running through Thursday’s short MLB slate, starting with a clean A’s win, Gage Jump shoving, Zack Gelof staying hot, the Royals putting up 14, Bryan Woo dealing, and the rest of the weekend matchups. Solo show today on BD Baseball, and we had a light Thursday slate — only eight games — but there was still plenty to chew on. The A’s gave me a good one for once. Gage Jump was fantastic, going seven scoreless with seven punchouts, the offense jumped the Angels right away, Shea Langeliers drilled one off the batter’s eye, Tyler Soderstrom followed with one of his own, and Zack Gelof pushed the hitting streak to 22 games. That’s a clean win. No mental gymnastics required. Around the league, the Royals had the loudest offensive night, hanging 14 on the Cardinals, though Bobby Witt Jr. leaving with a knee issue is something to watch. Bryan Woo shoved for Seattle, the Blue Jays finished off a sweep in Boston, the Red Sox were gross with runners in scoring position, and Andrew Benintendi ruined the Yankees’ night with a pinch-hit grand slam. Then I get into the weekend board — Tigers trying to get right with Skubal, A’s needing Jeffrey Springs to find it again, Rockies and Pirates headed to Coors, and yes, I’m hammering the over there. Eight games, a little standings check, weekend matchups, and a clean A’s win. Don’t let your butt crack and move your ass. We’re burning daylight. Learn more about your ad choices.
