    He worked at hitting more than many know. He was very focused- perhaps a better word than intensity, and rarely got distracted by bad ump calls, striking out, or anything else. He rarely showed frustration. I’m not sure if he ever was.

    Judge is a beast
  3. moonslav59
    How about 15 Ks in 6 IP?
  4. moonslav59
    Kike magic

    I think Manny at the plate was an excellent example of calm intensity. On defense, the calmness was still there at times, but the intensity not so much.

    It’s cheaper to find pen additions, so maybe that will tilt the decision to us one as a starter. If the budget is limited, I might agree.

    Umm, my adult child was once a young child. It wasn't just recently, we were woken up late. You just assumed that's all I was talking about. I never equated the two. I was pointing out that I had a child. Also, you did not ignore it. I do know many kids stay up to watch late games, and they and their parents deal with the consequences of those children without enough sleep. I'm also a teacher who experiences those effects everyday. Not all parents get their kids to bed at set times. I applaud you doing so. I'm not sure why you seem to want to pick a fight over nothing.

    LOL 7th inning? Closer? 2-3 innings? 1 inning? 1-2 batters?
  9. moonslav59
    Agreed. My idea of a number 1 is a top 30 pitcher, #2, 31-60, #3, 61-90... I like Whitlock as our long RP'er and Houck as the closer for 2022. Maybe Barnes can be a great 8th inning guy, again.
  10. moonslav59
    I actually just copied and pasted your earlier post, so yes, nonsensical.

    He would be a major score, but I'd still prefer spending on pitching. We could play Semien at 2B and trade Arroyo or keep him as utility, of have Semien play SS, and trade Bogey.
  12. moonslav59
    He'll have to do it in 79 pitches. Cora is on a pitch count rampage.
  13. moonslav59
    Somehow, I have to think even a no-hitter would not move you an inch on this issue.
  14. moonslav59
    I can see someone hasn't lived with children in a long, long time.
  15. moonslav59
    After so much time off, you wonder what role he might be used in- first time back.
  16. moonslav59
    And, we face a left in the first game at WSH. I think they play Dalbec, tomorrow and JD plays LF. I think we face a righty on Saturday, so maybe Dugo plays CF, Schwarber LF and Kike 2B. (No JD seems wrong. Would we dare have Schwarber and JD both at corner OF positions in the same game?)
  17. moonslav59
    Kike is back for 2022, so no CF'er is needed, just yet/ I think we go with Arroyo at 2B and maybe try to lure Iggy back as a utility man. I do think we might acquire a #2 and #5, but I hate going after 5's. I'd try for a 3 or 4 and move Pivetta to 5. Ideally, we get a 1 & 3, but maybe a 2 & 3 is all we can afford. BTW, Toronto has some choice to make. Semien was just a one year deal. Robbie Ray is a FA, too.

    Career: Pivetta with Plawecki: 2.59 ERA (49 IP) 200 PAs Against (.630 OPS) Pivetta with Vazquez: 5.12 ERA (111IP) 480 PAs Against (.767 OPS)
  19. moonslav59
    Blasphemy!
  20. moonslav59
    Dalbec does seem like he's back to his old ways, but that was a pretty quick benching. I'm not complaining or scratching my head, mind you- just pointing out the flip side of a tough choice by Cora.
  21. moonslav59
    Voit... https://yanksgoyard.com/2021/09/30/yankees-luke-voit-injured-wednesday-vs-blue-jays-video/?a_aid=01234&fbclid=IwAR2GanhUMZzRzvrdaT_Cu__doeWiHVyqGT5Kk8tjm32fKb5feHFpa8x-jOM
  22. moonslav59
    No Dalbec vs the lefty. I won't scratch my head on this one. People thought I had dandruff, yesterday. I like what Cora has done all year. Plawecki for 2 straight starts. I'm not going to claim this is CERA related, but here are the 2020-2021 numbers: Pivetta with Plawecki: 2.59 ERA (49 IP) 200 PAs Against (.630 OPS) Pivetta with Vazquez: 5.12 ERA (111IP) 480 PAs Against (.767 OPS) Cora da Man!
  23. moonslav59
    It sure did! Especially, the OF. Man, they were fun to watch. I like watching Kike in CF and Renfroe nailing base-runners, but the rest of the OF D is nothing special. (Verdugo is fine.)
  24. moonslav59
    As much as each of those Yankee games were huge, and they were basically 2 game swings, I feel like this game is just as big. 4 games left. SEA a half back. The Jays one back. The Yanks one up. It doesn't get much tighter than this! GO SOX!!!!
  25. moonslav59
    Yes, it is reasonable, except for maybe JBJ's .502 OPS. I never even implied it wasn't reasonable. I just pointed out that many posters pine for ex-Sox players when equal or better options aare out there- sometimes for cheaper. I didn't think that statement was going to be dissected, inspected and debated so much.
