  1. I was a little surprised. Although Ozzie did point out Cordero can expect to be drilled a few times during the next series between the two for stealing a base (which I think was ruled as defensive indifference) with a position player on the mound. And he also said that while he would probably order it were he managing, he has managed teams where the players took it upon themselves to take care of things like that...
  2. So watching the White Sox broadcast for this series’s In the postgame show, Jason Benetti kept strongly implying the Red Sox must have cheated after struggling yesterday to starting the game with six straight hits. He even brought up Cora’s past in such a scandal (with the 2017 Astros). While he tried to say he wasn’t accusing the Red Sox of anything, he absolutely was. His deskmate Ozzie Guillen was much more rational and pointed out flaws with Giolito today...
  3. While both are former 2b’s that were moved to CF in the Red Sox minor league system, I think the comp ends there or at least doesn’t go much further...
  4. Hicks is a switch-hitting Jackie Bradley. Offense is inconsistent and a bonus, and not why he starts...
  5. I was going to point out he only used Springs for the worst part of the order, but the entire Yankees lineup is the worst part of the order...
  6. You do realize that the team hit the hardest by injuries right now in the AL East is the Red Sox, who are without Sale...
  7. Or this weekend, with 4 games in 48 hours. Whichever comes first...
  8. The only reason to question the decision is that the Sox had to play four games in a 48 hour stretch. So obviously getting as much IP from the starters certainly has some merit. But then Pivetta was a bit too wild to have a long leash yesterday...
  9. 2 down. 17 to go. They’ve taken the first two, but this hasn’t been ownership so far...
  10. The Braves gave a pinch hit appearance to 36yo middle infielder Sean Kazmar last night. It was Kazmar's first plate appearance in the majors since 2008. This is believed to be the longest stretch in MLB history between two plate appearances. In his most recent plate appearance before last night, Kazmar last faced Nationals' RP Saul Rivera, who retired in 2010...
  11. And kills any chance of playing elsewhere. His .466 OPS is horrific and worst on the team, but unfortunately for the Yankees, it's not the worst by all that much.
  12. He needs to change his name to Bimbrel...
  13. At least it's not a 7 year deal like Bauer could have had if he wanted...
  14. Wow. It's gotten so bad that players are just quitting rather than see this one out...
  15. Yes. Or Kluber. Good chance one or both gets injured filming. I should also mention that Harvey Keitel’s part will have to be written out, since right now no one is chasing the Yankees...
  16. They’re playing like they expected the rest of the AL to just roll over for them...
  17. He still thinks the 2018 team was a complete dumpster fire...
  18. Haven’t separated? You’re 5-9. Absolute worst case would be being 9 games back with 148 to go. Not exactly Magic Number time...
  19. You’re talking to a bunch of people who used the same date on the game thread for nine days because the team was winning. And now you think we want lineup changes? I get what you’re saying, but is it broken right now?
  20. Let’s just say Boone and Cashman could be cast to play Thelma and Louise right now...
  21. Good point. They should be better than Texas...
  22. Especially not when the team is 10-4...
  23. And those boxes also show us how accurate many umpires are, Mr. Glass Half-Empty. I know I have said it before, but the job of a home plate umpire has always been to determine if a ball thrown anywhere from 80 to 100 mph touched any part of an imaginary box. It's not easy. Heck, it's not even easy to see a ball traveling at 100 mph. I am shocked at how often they get the borderline calls right (assuming the K Zone is right, of course). None of this excuses Angel Hernandez or Joe West, however. And nothing ever willl ...
  24. At what point will Yankee fans realize the possibility that Frazier's "breakout" defensive season last year is probably due to a small sample size? He only played 280 innings in the OF, or maybe 5 weeks worth of action. Remember how good Chavis still looked after 280 PA, when he still had an OPS over .800? (It was .806.) I think Frazier's defense in 2020 is that type of small sample inaccuracy...
  25. Weird, because when they expanded rosters to 26, there was supposed to be a limitation on pitchers at 13. That not in effect?
