mvp 78

There's nothing about this statement that is true.

He's DH or LF. They have a ton of guys that can play 1B. The best defensive 1B they have is also their #1 prospect.

It would be foolish to move Houck down for service time. I don't think he's good enough to get priced out of Boston. He's most likely still a late inning reliever. Keep him up as long as he's productive.

RF is hard because it's huge. Plus, you can misplay a ball down the line and it's a guaranteed little league home run. And sometimes the short wall just swallows you whole.

The last time we've seen emotion close to that was Verdugo's home run saving catch early last season.

Seems like I’m missing a good one.

It’s April.

He was passable as a 5th starter. Unfortunately, they needed him to be a #2 last year.

He’ll be fine down in WOO

@alexspeier Alex Cora on @MLBNetworkRadio says "it looks like [Eduardo Rodriguez] will be a go this week."

Say that to the 2014 - 2017 Rays. 97 - 07: pretty sucky 08 - 13: pretty good 14 - 17: below .500 18 - 20: pretty good 21 - on: who knows???

Schwarber is now on COVID IL with Josh Bell, Lester and other Nationals.

My fantasy team will need some new stats if it's going to win this year...

I think Wakefield's loss was a foregone conclusion at that point. It was bound to happen and not his fault. I remember watching that wild pitch. I don't remember the ball going between Buckner's legs. I was probably shellshocked at that point.

No, the base would elevate when a player with an RFID chip got close enough. Otherwise, it would be at ground level.

Falls to low 1st round now?

https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/padres/story/2021-04-06/fernando-tatis-jr-injury-shoulder-padres-doctor-surgery “It is very, very likely he has a labral tear,” said Dr. Michael Banffy, an orthopedic surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles. “But a lot of times a noncollision athlete can still play their sport.” Banffy, who is one of the Dodgers’ team doctors, said the recurrence of the injury in such a short time span means Tatis continuing to play would create uncertainty for the club and its most dynamic player. The two recent instances of the shoulder popping out came when Tatis reached across his body to field a grounder and on Monday’s swing. Tatis plays extremely hard and fast, and there is risk of further damage by collision with another player or with the ground. “I think it probably would weigh pretty heavy on their mind, particularly if it occurred twice over the past two weeks and likely occurred prior to that,” Banffy said. “Then you also have the issue is he continuing to make it worse every time it comes out. You worry about the cartilage damage and bone loss. Unfortunately, this is an issue that is going to have some decision-making behind it. Unfortunately, it’s (five) games into the season.” The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the shoulder and holds it in place. A fix is arthroscopic surgery that generally requires a six-month recovery and involves no future complications. Continuing to play involves some risk.

Which one? Hill? Wacha? Archer?

4/4 Sox @ LAD, WS Game 1

That damn second base...

I can't imagine Fenway in April is a haven for the long ball.

Yup, so I had to dump a pitcher to grab a bench bat (Dahl). I'm sure Dahl will be on the IL in the next few weeks, so I'll just replace him with a pitcher then.

Tatis also got his contract after less than 150 MLB games. Mistake, IMO.
