Josh Hader To Undergo Sensitivity Training
bkzwhitestrican replied to Carbo-Diem's topic in Other Baseball
Sensitivity training?? Doesn't sound like a real punishment. Not that I think one is warranted NOW for something tweeted when you're in high school seven years ago. Gurriel was forced to attend this training last year as well because he did the Asian eyes gesture after hitting a HR off of Darvish, so I guess this isn't unprecedented. -
Not to start an argument but I disagree, range is his biggest area of concern. Sure he makes some rookie mistakes, but so has Gleyber. The difference is that Gleyber also makes tons of difficult plays whereas with Andujar I can't even recall a single good play where he has moved to his right or left. Per Fangraphs, he has a -7.2 UZR but only -0.1 is attributable to errors made. -6.2 of it is due to his range (or lack of range) which is far and away the worst of all MLB third basemen. Per Mike Axisa: "He’s sure-handed, as evidenced by his ranking 8th in converting routine plays at the position per Inside Edge fielding data – but he’s third to last in ‘likely’ plays, and last in plays with ‘even’ odds. And that matches the eye test." I agree with you on his offensive potential, he's a pure hitter with a lot of upside.

Andujar's issue is his range. He's not over there making errors and looking like a dumbass but he doesn't get to a lot of balls that most other third basemen would get to. I don't know if range is something that can improve given time and experience.. but I hope it does.

7/13 Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway
bkzwhitestrican replied to Maxbialystock's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Natick gone, there goes 60% of all game thread comments. -
Because a gassed Kluber is still better than their ML worst bullpen which is without Andrew Milller and has a collective 5.39 ERA.
-
Greg Bird's last 7 games: .261/.414/.565/.979 with 2 HRs and 11 RBIs Hopefully this isn't just SSS noise. He's still striking out a ton (37.9K% during these 7 games) but his swing and approach have looked a lot better.
-
Frazier is definitely a bat first OFer. He is pretty raw defensively but has the speed to be an above average corner OFer.
-
Supposedly the Yankees offer for Machado was Clint Frazier, Erik Swanson, and Chance Adams. Yankees refuse to include Sheffield in any deal for him. I'd rather just wait until 2019 to get Machado.
-
I would generally agree. BUT Barstool was actually the first one to break news about Stanton and the Yankees before anyone even knew what was going on.
-
@BarstoolHubbs 12m12 minutes ago More I would say more likely than not the Yankees are landing Machado. I don’t know if it’s today but MY GUY has told me it’s close. Don’t know package Not sure how serious to take this guy.
-
Might wanna slow down there friend. I'm pretty sure the Sox had an awesome run to start the year, only to relinquish their commanding division lead to the superior team in the division. This is just the second act
-
I'd be fine if they added someone like Eovaldi who can be a #4 starter. Probably wouldn't cost much and at this point anyone is an upgrade over Sonny. I don't think the need for a starter is that great unless there is a serious injury to one of our top three. Sheffield can always be called up in the second half to be the 5th starter (unless we trade him for Machado). And speaking of which, the O's just said they want Sheffield in any Yankees deal for Machado. Seems like a steep price for half a year of a position player where we already have a solid starter. If Cash does feel inclined to pull off some huge trade and wipe out our farm, I hope it's for Snell or MadBum.

Lots of season left. Depending on who is hot and who is cold, 3 games could be made up in a week.
-
I can agree to that. But only because Baltimore is in the East and they are historically bad (except against the Yankees). The Rays and Jays are collectively 14-13 versus the A's, Angels, and Rangers.

MLB Records Versus Teams with Losing Records 1. Astros 32-9 (.780) 2. Athletics 29-9 (.763) 3. Red Sox 31-10 (.756) 4. Mariners 27-11 (.711) ... 6. Angels 25-12 (.676) ... 14. Yankees 25-14 (.641) 4 of the top 6 teams in baseball at beating bad opponents are in the AL West. So I guess if her point is that the AL west is better overall because it is better at beating crappy opponents, then she's right. The West's bad teams are better than the East's bad teams.. although I think Tampa and Toronto are pretty equal to Oakland and LAA.

I'm sure Cashman asked about him as part of his due diligence as GM. But seems highly unlikely that he lands him.
-
I'm generally not one to criticize managers since I feel players determine 98% of every game. But Boone really flubbed this one. Lucky for him and Neil Walker there's another game in an hour. They can't possibly lose 2 games to Baltimore.. I hope.
-
As a tanned white person I find that term offensive. I'm at least Nilla Wafer.
-
Luckily the Yankees don't have to play the Yankees otherwise it would be a lot harder
-
Ideal victory would be 4 game sweep of the Sox in the ALCS. But I'd still find joy if they lost in the WC.
-
Don't know what to think of Gray. Guy has a ton of talent but those were 2 of the worst starts I've seen in a long time. I mean he had nothing. Everything getting hammered as if they brought someone in from the stands to pitch. How long do the Yankees continue to start him in the hope that he'll rebound and when is the point where they say enough is enough?

Torres to the 10 day DL

A Realistic View at 2018: Part II
bkzwhitestrican replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Pedro did admit that he would've liked to pitch for the Yankees. I believe we have turned him to the dark side. -
Yankees had tons of chances to win that game. 0-12 with RISP. Even if they go 2-12 which is s***, they win. Likely game winning double bouncing into the stands just tells me that it wasn't our night.
