    Red Sox pitchers should be forced to yell out what pitches they're about to throw for the rest of the season. I see no other logical solution!

    You're lumping all of us men together regardless of our individual views? Hmmm

    Sorry, I couldn't resist

    I figure a thread will be started for this sooner or later, so I'll get the ball rolling. See below article: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/05/sports/baseball/boston-red-sox-stealing-signs-yankees.html?smid=tw-nytsports&smtyp=cur In summation, the Red Sox were accused by the Yankees of using Apple watches to steal signs from the catcher. The supposed order of operations was that a trainer or someone with a view of the catcher's signs would relay the signs to someone in the dugout via Apple watch, and then the person in the dugout would relay it to the player. Seems like a lot to do in a short amount of time.. but let's see if anything comes out of this besides a big distraction or if this becomes the next -gate.. probably Applegate.

    This Mendoza talk sounds familiar: http://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/18064-2017-Yankees-Season-Thread/page14 I believe the consensus was that she is not a very good announcer because she is not a very good announcer.

    Yeah too bad GCL West couldn't make it also. Bunch of scrubs.

    Sanchez was simply abiding by MMA rules in which ground and pound is perfectly legal. I'll have to double check the rules for tag team MMA though.

    I'm curious to see if we're actually hot right now or the Mets are just really realllly bad.

    Unlikely that he takes tanaka's start as he just pitched last night

    Right after "strength training" with Manny and Papi

    Cashman also got $1.5M international bonus money from Oakland. Otani in the offseason maybe? As for the deal, Beane bought low on two injured players who would otherwise be rated much higher than they are. And Mateo has all the tools you look for in a player, but the question is if he can translate them to the field. All in all I think it was a risky trade for both sides given Gray's injury history.

    Nothing finalized yet. A's have lowered their return expectations (no way they were getting Torres/Frazier) but still want Florial/Mateo/ + at least one of Sheffield/Adams/Acevedo. And probably something else as well. Don't know if Cashman would go for that.
  13. bkzwhitestrican
    Because he drinks 5 Hour Energy

    I dunno if we're better than Houston, but I definitely think we're one of the best teams in the AL. Yanks could definitely take on the Stros if they're playing at the top of their game.

    On an unrelated topic, Rodon for the White Sox had a very bizarre line this afternoon where he gave up 4 runs in 4 innings. What's odd about that? 11 of the 12 hitters he retired were via strikeout, the first time that's been done since ever probably.
  16. bkzwhitestrican
    I remember that, I was so heartbroken. Moose deserved a perfect game
  17. bkzwhitestrican
    None of this would have happened if Fowler didn't get injured. I'm curious if Fowler didn't get injured and played reasonably well, would Cashman have been more inclined to trade Frazier?
  18. bkzwhitestrican
    I would be shocked if that happened. I can't imagine what it would cost to pry away Jose Abreu.

    We received two closer caliber relievers with more than a year of affordable contracts, and a rental who upgrades a position of need. For a very good prospect who is still 2-3 years away, playing a position that is overcrowded in our system. To me everyone else the Yanks threw into the deal was fodder. Clarkin is a former first round pick who has disappointed to date but is having a bounce back year (could it be a resurgence? Maybe, but we decided to sell while he regained some value), Polo is an undersized high energy guy who projects as a 4th OFer, and Clippard is Clippard. All in all I think the trade worked out for both teams.
  20. bkzwhitestrican
    Except when our starter gives up 6 and our offense scores 0.
  21. bkzwhitestrican
    Per sources, Yankees have acquired Robertson, Frazier, Kahnle for several minor leaguers - most notably last year's 1st rounder Blake Rutherford.
  22. bkzwhitestrican
    Despite the prolonged slump, we're still only a few back in the division. Our team is too talented to keep losing like this. I think once they get out of this funk they're going to hit a stretch of really good baseball, kind of like what we saw in May. I have nothing to back up this claim, just a feeling from what I'm seeing.
  23. bkzwhitestrican
    Don't know how these teams are gonna last through the double header tomorrow
  24. bkzwhitestrican
    Lamest comeback ever
  25. bkzwhitestrican
    No specific reason. They say he's healthy, just decided this was the optimal rotation for this series.
