Well said.
-
It wasn't a joke. This happens all the time with players who are streaky and posters who rely heavily on most recent small sample sizes to sway their opinions.
-
...and McCann and Beltran and others. The "balls" was in terms of trading all those vets for prospects--not guys like Cespedes, Craig and Kelly, who were more established players and not truly the "rebuild" types of trades I was hoping for and that Cashman pulled off.

No. I was very clear. I wanted JF gone long ago, and winning a for 3 weeks doesn't change my opinion. Lack of fundamentals is a bigger issue than lack of fire. It's more than just that. I don't think he a smart manager that wins games for the team. I'm not calling for his firing right now, but like I said, a winning streak doesn't change my mind.

ThaaaAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH Yankees Lose!!!!!!
-
Minor League News from tonight: Brentz is surprising me. He hit his 12th HR tonight. Devers HR'd and Dbld tonight. Salem game was cancelled.
-
Not good. I hope like hell Velazquez can come through for us, but I'm not too optimistic.
-
I guess then I could say your point is he'll pitch like Cy Young the rest of the way. I get it.
-
It took balls to trade away good players for prospects. You scored big on the ones you got. Better than the Sox did with their purge.
-
I agree, and we really have no other options right now, but I have very little confidence in Velazquez going forward despite his recent record in AAA.
-
JBJ will likely go cold again at some point, and I hope the skeptics remember this time when it happens.
-
Yes, and I was before his last call-up too.
-
Here. I'll be here his next game too.

Betts is not the only player on the rise: JBJ .537 to .807 since May 14th. Pedey .638 to .759 since May 3rd. Leon .496 to .639 since May 5th. HRam frrom .641 to .750 since April 28th. Pablito from .616 to .647 since June 9th. Vaz from .754 to .788 since may 20th. One of our most consistent hitter this year, Moreland, has gone up from .765 on May 16th to .877 today. He was at .807 0n June 4th. Even Bogey is back on the rise after going from over .870 to .812 a couple days ago. He's up to .834 after tonight. Yes, I cherry-picked the sample dates, but we're 16-7 in the last 23 games, and our offense has improved just about top to bottom.

Take a longer view... on everyone and everything.

Six players got on base two or more times tonight. Are people feeling better about the offense now?

2017 MLB Draft Thread
moonslav59 replied to Jack Flap's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Insurance, in case they fail to sign a top pick or leverage to use against their top picks? I'm no expert on this stuff, so your guess is as good as mine. -
Thornburg was told to stop his long throw rehab, so there's no time table. There's also no diagnosis yet either. Strange. I'm not sure even Holt knows when he can start rehab. Carson Smith is supposed to start pitching in the minors soon. Maybe 30 days to MLB.
-
When's ERod due back?
-
Despite the 0 for 6 night last night, Betts has seen his OPS go up 53 points in 3 days (.807 to .860). He has now passed Bogey and is just is less than 20 points from Moreland.
-
Pablito now on base in 4 of last 5 PAs.
-
This is why they brought up Velazquez.
-
Pablito now on base in 3 of his last 4 PAs. Teenie tiny sample size, but he's playing for his life right now.
-
I was always pretty good at math, except for my Calculus experience mentioned earlier, but I never considered myself a math guy. Percentages and probabilities fascinate me, so I guess I've got some "geek" in me. I've played the game for years. I played softball for many more years. I get the "human element", but winning comes down to production--production that is usually measurable and quantifiable by numbers and metrics. I've been on losing teams that gel together and winning teams that scrape and grate but win. I'll take winning any day of the week.

I just don't see much fire. It's just a gut feeling.
