So yeah, in this case the #3 hitter has had better opportunities than the #2 hitter.
JH and company had enough of all those annoying 90+ win seasons and titles, and winners like Dombrowski and Mookie. Now it's all Science, Philosophy and .500.
The second sentence isn't quite right. For the #1 slot OBP is bigger, as you say, and for the #4 slot SLG is bigger. But that doesn't really make the #4 slot 'one of the top 2' - more like 1 and 4 are T2, I think.
That would be your point. There's nothing about that in the article.
Anthony is just a 'minor leaguer'?
I see you're off to a flying start this morning. 🙃
Crochet has actually pitched very few innings in his career. He's a big strong guy and we want him to be a horse, but he has no horse history. So, they're being a little careful.
Year after year the Yanks put up winning records. They are obviously a well managed team in many ways.
At the same time, I know a lot of Yankee fans are frustrated that with all the winning seasons, they've only won the whole thing once since the year 2000. Meanwhile the roller coaster Red Sox have won it all 4 times in that same stretch. Some good fortune for the Sox involved there? Hell yeah.
Our opinions as fans are all worthless. I wholeheartedly accept and even cherish the worthlessness of my opinions on the Sox. Some people are under the unfortunate delusion that their opinions are sound and they matter.

Good umps definitely know where the line is between doing their jobs and being part of the show.
I can understand why umps might sometimes get a little hot in the moment.
Maybe ejections should be reviewable too LOL
"On further review, Buehler should not have been tossed! My bad."
Cora may have little choice. The concern would be that the third time's not a charm and he has to throw 20 pitches or whatever this time. Something to watch for sure.
It's the combination of taking a position that's difficult to support and being very argumentative about it. But it's all baseball talk, so plenty of latitude should be given. The new poster is getting ganged up on a bit and we don't really want that. So let's all chill on this a little.
And no offense but it's a pointless question. They have their reasons and are probably not being totally straight with us. Kind of like a government or something.
You're preaching to the choir. But my inner Polly gets excited by a couple of wins, I can't help it. This team should be better than the last 3 with Crochet and Bregman totally living up to expectations.
And how about that Narvaez?
