oh, my bad. Yeah, he is!
-
Wasn't Sale a DD's move?
-
Told you, today we were going to be the best team of baseball. This winning streak will continue. All engines are oiled and at full capacity and A’s are not the same team we faced early this year.
-
wow man, simply can't believe it. These guys are super famous and millionaires, but I guess their minds with all that money and exposure in media make them lose ground and reality. I bet alcohol and/or drugs are behind this, otherwise you can't understand how a sober/clean person can do this. it's really a shame man. He is one of the best of the game.

what happened? assault? what do you mean with assault?
-
Wait, What? Did the Yankees lose? Oh boy! Lol They scored like 7 runs early in the game then it was a rain delay and the lead as long as I remember was for 3-4 runs I guess so I went to sleep lol I thought they had an easy win. Wow! Have to watch this implosion. Geez this happened to the Cubs as well but not in the 9th. This could be the biggest choke of the Yankees in modern history I guess.
-
Best team in the AL and tomo of all baseball entering July. Life’s good. This team has way more to give us fellas. Way more! Night!
-
I guess this will be called. Rain won’t cease.
-
He somehow gets out alive lol My feeling is the same. I don't want this bum in my team.
-
Workman is unwatchable man. Can’t wait they DFA his ass for once and for all.
-
We literally love to complicate things when we have good leads in games Geez! Perez has to settle down, Workman is warming up and he could easily give up the lead in a heartbeat (didn’t know he still was in this team)
-
I can see that happening. Bloom would eat Ben’s lunch in a heartbeat.
-
Whata catch by Kike!
-
I guess these are the final days of Chavis in Red Sox uniform. I don’t think he will bring more to the table. Shame. He looked like he could make it when debuted.
-
Whata inconsistency from this ump. We really need robo umps. This is XXI C. Most umps are like 70 yo or something. I don’t think their vision are at 100% of their abilities. Good job Perez, despite this chUMP.
-
Exactly. A If they both play well, both will play, but IMO Duran has way more upside. Kike has had up and downs this season. He is a 238 hitter right now who has improved a lot recently. Hopefully he keeps going like this but being honestly I have no idea what we will get form him moving forward.
-
The calling Duran thing could definitely improve the team offensively given the underperforming of Santana/Gonzalez at very least, and even if Kike/Dalbec underperform again and/or Arroyo can't stay healthy. Plus if Duran splashes, he actually can take the leadoff job as well and kill two birds with one bullet. As Nick said there's nothing to lose and I agree.
-
Not sure why this question. The correct question should be will he perform better than Santana/Marwin/Kike and even Arroyo? You have literally nothing to lose if you call him up.
-
IMO there's never a good time. He can splash or become a bust. If he splashes, this team will get better, if he doesn't, don't big deal, they could send him down again, he can work harder, adjust and come back eventually at some point in the future. I do not see a big deal. OTOH If he is that fragile mentally, then he is not a mlb caliber player. He will have up/downs, just like everybody else. Also, he is no that young. Time is ticking.
-
I see eye to eye this. Well said Nick. Maybe Nick and I are so greedy for wanting this team to be even greater offensively lol
-
He has been nothing but a utility player who has played a lot in LA because they had tons of injuries & up/downs, and he was the primary piece to address those issues since he can play several positions.
-
No one is disputing that either, nothin. We all are just giving our opinions. That's all. Said that, sure, of course Bloom has a reason and a plan, but considering that our leadoff issue has been a legit problem all season long and Santana/Gonzalez/Kike haven't performed well offensively, some of us have wondered why Bloom do not call Duran and at least try to solve these issues. Nothing more, nothing less. Duran will likely make this team even better offensively regardless his roll. That's the whole point Nick and I are making. No big deal I guess.
-
In all fairness I think he was acquired to play several positions taking in consideration how Bloom built this team. I have nothing against Kike although few weeks a go it was an aberration giving him the leadoff job. He has performed very well in recent games, hopefully it is not only a lucky stretch. Said that, I actually think he could be a phenomenal utility player who can be converted as an everyday player, BUT it has nothing to do with Duran taking Kike's time. If both perform well, both will play, one way or another IMO.
-
Call him up already! lol
-
Exactly! Duran could make this team even better. What's wrong with that? Duran will likely be better than Santana and Marwin. In my book, he will perform better than Kike and probably Arroyo —or at least create more competitiveness. As you said, if he hurts the team he could be sent down again and to keep working. No big deal.
