If this were a high school team I was watching I'd be saying that the coach needs to 'chew some ass' and talk about starting to play solid fundamental baseball.
-
IIRC Kimbrel was the first pitcher to expose Judge's inability to hit the high hard one. At the time we thought it was because nobody could hit Kimbrels high/inside pitch but it turns out that's where the hole in Judge's swing is. Now everyone knows it.

Better the Yankees than us!!

JBJ is worth having out there even if he only hits .220.
-
Too many pitches, but he got out of the inning without a run being scored.
-
Research that confirms the obvious = GOOD
-
HANLEY! Now there's a way to start a game!!!
-
That was the first thing I though of when I heard Pedey wasn't starting tonight. f***ing cheap shot Machado.

This is a link to an online article about how the Yankee FO has screwed (and screwed up) their fans and ticket sales. It's one of those multi-part things you have to click through - some thing I usually avoid - but I dealt with it on this one, probably because it deals with the Yankees FO and puts them in a negative light. http://www.cheatsheet.com/sports/heres-why-new-york-yankees-ticket-sales-keep-falling-every-year.html/?utm_source=outbrain&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=rss_desktop_retargeting&utm_term=009336b266adc8df22a6dee67d1268eb6a&ref=OB

Damn! Sometimes I forget even the basic stuff.
-
Why? The old act was fine!!
-
Yep. I agree. Chicks dig the long ball for sure, and (unfortunately) stellar defense doesn't get the financial recognition it should. Have I said that before? LOL
-
Well, whaddaya know! My observations were right (for once)! Thanks for the research.
-
lol
-
Oh...Nick, Nick, Nick..... :-( It appears that you and I could have a long debate about the value of strong defense up the middle.
-
Take a breath, guys. It appears that you're saying the same thing!! The difference is that MVP has that unconventional smiley thing after his posts. :-)

There may or may not be "statistics" to back this up, but it seems like some of those players who participate in the Home Run Derby go into a power slump afterward.

Debunking the 3 year window myth -- the Red Sox in 2020
S5Dewey replied to Fan_since_Boggs's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Yes. And we should be thankful that JH wants to be competitive rather than selling the franchise. My best guess is that the debt service on the loan to purchase the Boston Red Sox would prohibit this kind of spending on talent. As I'm fond of saying about players who are doing well, let's ride this horse until it drops! -
...and this is why I'm tempering my expectations for Devers a little too. When Beni came up he tore the cover off the ball but now he's become a "normal" hitter. Don't be surprised if the same thing happens to Devers.

Ugh. Let's hope this doesn't go from your lips to John Henry's ears. -
Hey Thumder! How ya doin'?

Well, welll... the ball may well have been ~11'9" off the field. Since the mound is 10.5" inches high the ball was 10'4" off the field. Sale is 6'6" and his arms probably extend at least 18" above the top of his head so that gets him to 8' to the top of his fingers. Add 4-6" for the glove and he only has to be able to get ~1 1/2 feet into the air to spear that ball. Assuming Sale is a good athlete (a fair assumption) and comparing what he did to what a basketball player has to do to dunk a basketball it's not unreasonable to think that he could jump high enough to dunk a basketball - or catch a ball that's almost 12' off the field or 10'6" off the mound.

One word: Adrenaline.

I swear to God...sometimes I think those guys read Talksox & then bring it up on tv! LOL
