  1. Blue Jays should petition MLB to void the JA Happ trade. The Yankees traded them damaged goods. Drury has a broken hand at the time of the trade.
  2. I agree with that. Criticism of managers and GMs comes with the territory.
  3. I though that his stuff was better today. It is the walks that are still the problem.
  4. I can see walking Smoak there, and I would have let Pom finish that inning. I don’t like Hembree with inherited runners.
  5. He is a pitcher who needs to get 1 or 2 DPs to have a successful outing, but it is almost always ugly.
  6. His stuff can’t play with all these walks.
  7. Oh, I forgot. It is only hate when criticism is about Ben.
  8. Yes, it is very sad news.
  9. “Almost the same production” is not the same production. Three or 4 additional blown saves could make the difference betweeen winning a division and going home for October many seasons. And where were these almost as productive closers who were available at a much cheaper rate when we got Kimbrel?
  10. From Pete Abram’s tweet. NESN just announced that Jerry Remy has again been diagnosed with cancer. Network says "Jerry's focus is on his medical treatment."
  11. "Kimbrell overpay" = nothing more than DD hate. There is no alternative prospect purchase cost provided and there is zero evidence upon which to make the case. it is speculative opinion.
  12. [h=2]Jacoby Ellsbury Undergoes Hip Surgery[/h]By Jeff Todd | August 7, 2018 at 12:58pm CDT The Yankees announced today that outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury has undergone surgery to repair the labrum of his left hip. He’s expected to require six months of recover time. Ellsbury’s season is now over before it ever began. The 34-year-old has been on the disabled list all year with a dizzying array of injuries. He did not appear in game action at any level.
  13. Farrell?
  14. Ben, no latte, just a double Espresso with Sambuca.
  15. Teddy Ballgame in his first season as managerif the Washington Senators had several of his players have career seasons offensively. He could teach the science and make hitters better.
  16. No. My mistake. For some reason I thought you were in the Central time zone.
  17. In reading and listening to Teddy Ballgame talk about it, it seemed to me that he had no doubt that he could hit the ball the other way.
  18. After a series like this, the Yankees could go into a tailspin. They are a young team. They will need some character to rally from this crushing series.
  19. I read his remarks before this series and was really hoping that we would stick it to the Yankees and then ask Cashman for a clarification.
  20. Aren't you an hour earlier than the east coast?
  21. We bought the hype. They said that he could get by with diminished stuff, because he had the great curve ball and he was so smart. he didn't look so smart turning around to see where the rockets were landing.
  22. The truth is that more great glove guys have come through the major leagues than great hitters. A lot of great glove guys never make it out of the minor leagues. There are several great CFers in the AL this generation -- Bradley, Kiermaier, Pillar, Trout, and maybe the best of all is Buxton (can't hit enough to stay in the majors). Probably, the only one that fans will remember is Trout, because he is also a great hitter. People are mentioning Yaz, Dewey, Clemente, Mays etc. , but few mention Paul Blair. He may be the best that I remember. My Dad's generation used to talk about Pete Reiser. No one mentions Darren Lewis. He was pretty darn good.
  23. Or Smoltz. I remember the anticipation of his debut and he took a giant s*** on the mound against the Yankees. I think we were blown out by the 2nd inning. He was through.
  24. His salary is below market.
