  1. No. I’m pointing out this type of action isn’t new. Just our reaction to it is...
  2. It was. But the guy who signed those deals was gone before Price came on board and Betts became an obvious star...
  3. Yes let’s pretend this is all brand new stuff and the Super Bowl was once never moved out of Arizona because they didn’t celebrate Martin Luther King Day. https://theundefeated.com/features/when-arizona-lost-the-super-bowl-because-the-state-didnt-recognize-martin-luther-king-jr-day/
  4. Been saying it since 2015 when they brought in Price...
  5. “You vill be alternated.”
  6. They can’t go to the Boynton?!?!
  7. But that’s what fans wanted. I didn’t like some of the deals made after 2018 - Eovaldi in particular. But were they supposed to blow up the roster right after winning? We’re not the Marlins...
  8. Not really. Did you realize between 1985 and 2001, no World Series Champion had a player who hit as many as 35 home runs? (Dave Justice did hit 41 in 2000 and won a World Series with the Yankees, but he hit 21 of them as a member of the Guardians.) And that was during the height of the Steroid Era!! Everybody was hitting 35 home runs!!!
  9. Hopefully they stay there for a mere 161 more games...
  10. He did let Grigorius walk, but with LaMahieu, Torres and the surprising Urshela, he had too many players for 2B/3B who were all still under control. It also hurt (?) that defense that Voit came out of nowhere...
  11. Well, when a guy is hitting the corners at 98mph, it does get a little tougher to get that guy home...
  12. So do many non-Yankee fans...
  13. Big deal. The Yankees are a last place team...
  14. Years or metric tons?
  15. Also, is having only 3 Dominican-born players the lowest total in MLB?
  16. The first thing I noticed on this was China. Who was born in China? Apparently, it was Austin Brice...
  17. I am still a subscriber to Baseball Digest. Yes, it still exists. But it uses 8 1/2" x 11" pages now...
  18. I think the best Sporting News columnist ever was former Red Sox RHRP Todd Jones, who retired from MLB and took the job. He then got an offer from the Tigers to return to MLB, and he decided to keep the Sporting News gig and write columns while playing. While I often envision most MLB players as having insurmountable egos, if Jones was anything like he portrayed himself in his columns, he was remarkably humble. One of my favorites was a story he did about bringing his son to the clubhouse, and how his son was so excited to meet all these Major League ballplayers, but was completely unfazed about his own dad...
  19. That's because a while back, he inadvertantly ordered only XXXL sized jerseys...
  20. It does seem odd that a team with annual injury issues would decide to make their big offseason additions to be Corey Kluber and Jameson Taillon. This was a team that needed Rick Porcello. Sure, he lacks the sexy name of someone like Kluber, but he will show up for work every day guaranteed while Kluber and Taillon sit on the bench nursing their sore scouting reports...
  21. Well, what also makes it intriguing might be the potential availability of Willy Adames...
  22. We will have to see if Lindor and Correa sign extensions. If so, the Super Shortstop Market takes a big hit...
  23. The Red Sox signed Hector Rondon to a minor league deal. Rondon had a rough spring (7.71 ERA in 8 IP), but hey, still better than Phillips Valdez...
  24. The "two man bench" does not include the backup catcher. It's really a 3 man bench...
  25. Well, the confidence in the result - positive or negative - is the same. It’s 90%. But a false negative is obviously more dangerous, whereas a false positive just leads to unnecessary precautions. Of course, that was using your parameters. The tests are not really 90% accurate and, depending on the test, do not give false positives and false negatives equally. The fun thing was the original antibody tests, which were really only about 50% accurate (and cost over $100 and were not covered). What’s the point? You get the same result flipping a coin and calling “Heads I’m sick with a potentially deadly virus!”
