Up first, the Position Player of the Month for May is Joey Meneses for his outstanding performance at the plate. In 95 at-bats, he hit eight doubles, six home runs, and drove in 18 runs.
Meneses – a 30-year-old veteran first baseman and corner outfielder – hasn’t made his major-league debut yet, but many are speculating that he’ll be the replacement for Josh Bell, if he is eventually traded.
The Pitcher of the Month for May is Jackson Tetreault for his dominance over five starts. In those starts he only allowed four runs – all coming on a pair of two-run homers – over 25.2 innings, pretty remarkable.
It was thought that Tetreault would be called up for today’s spot start (6/1), but the call went to Evan Lee. With an open spot on the 40-man roster, it’s still possible that he’ll be added as a long reliever, if not, we’ll see him in D.C. soon.
We recently upgraded our comment system to improve reliability, performance, and long-term control, and we’re currently running both systems during the transition. This shift moves us away from an external service to a system we run and control directly—meaning we own the content and can continue improving it over time. We’ve also reduced the comment refresh delay from about 30 seconds to 10 seconds, making it much closer to real-time.
We understand there have been frustrations and increased feedback, and we’re actively working to improve things. What we ask is simple: use the system and give it a fair shot. If you run into issues, please submit them through the support form so we can track and fix them properly. Repeated complaints without details don’t help us solve problems—we appreciate your patience as we continue refining the experience.
