Their lineup is flawed for sure, but to make matters even worse all of their secondary pieces in the lineup are slumping when they're needed the most. Stanton/DJL/Rizzo/Donaldson are all past their prime, but even in their current state they should be hitting better than they have this month. The four of them in June combined are hitting .112 . That's.... very not good.
-
Pretty crazy stat. After taking 2 of 3 from the Dodgers, the Yankees now have a winning record against every active team in MLB over history.
-
The top and bottom of the stroke zone are pretty subjective, no? All players are different heights, some have bigger torsos or longer legs, so in that regard I can understand umps with varying zones.
-
Players seem to like him which I guess is good, but I don't think anyone on the team would outwardly say that he sucks. And yesterday was just luck. The better parts of the BP were burnt and he had no choice but to use those three. Weber in particular was lucky to only give up 1 run, with a couple of hard hit balls hit to the right spot.

German is just an idiot. This was the same umpire crew that warned him last time that he needed to wash off the excess rosin from his hands, so of course they would scrutinize him more. Not sure what it was on his hands but it left a brown stain on his uniform, so likely not rosin this time.

The A's probably moving to Las Vegas

+1 for Aces -
Volpe has looked like a rookie quite often this season. But there's been a lot of improvement from when the season started until now, and he does have a 0.7 WAR currently (141st in MLB). Not great but not a liability either.
-
Maybe spitballs will make a comeback as well.
-
As bad as things are now it's still only one month of the season. And for as bad as things have looked its not like the team has totally cratered (.500 isn't good but considering the injuries not sure we could've expected a lot better). The division being so good makes it harder to cope with. I can't say I'm overly optimistic considering the lineups they've been trotting out there on a daily basis but I've learned from prior seasons that things generally aren't as good (Rays/O's) or bad as they seem in April.
-
Everyone knows a lot of the guys on the team are injury prone, but to have this many top players injured within a month of the season is hard to believe. And thus we are forced to watch Aaron Hicks play everyday.
-
I'll be honest, I haven't watched an inning of the Red Sox this season. I'm also trying to limit how much I watch the Yankees because watching every game is such a time drain.
-
Looks like it might be back up to 1 1/2 after today though This 4th place battle is exciting
-
I'm just saying that he went from being a bum to a core player in the matter of a week. What happens if he hits .100 this coming week?
-
Duran is core-four now? Coulda sworn everyone wished they traded him while he still had prospect value.
-
I think the 4th place thing is overblown, considering they're 13-10 (despite looking like dogshit in most games). Even though Boston is in last they still have a .500 record (they'd be 2nd in the Central!). The division has just been much better than all others out of the gate.
-
It's only been 20- something games? But sure, if we were to prorate their records over a full season the Yankees would be 10 games ahead of Boston.
-
The offense is definitely not in good shape when we have Calhoun/Franchy batting in the middle of the order. Stanton won't be back until June or later, and Bader/Donaldson coming back isn't going to add much to the lineup. I think the Yanks are just going to have to win a lot of games with pitching.
-
They should bring back their old logo of that elephant standing on a ball, that would fit with Vegas since they have those kind of circus acts.
-
Stanton to the IL again because he had to run out a double. Maybe he'll be back and locked in at the plate again by the ASB
-
Today's HR was super clutch and against a very good reliever too. Hope he keeps it up but I highly doubt it's anything more than a hot streak.
-
Sox would be in 3rd place in the Central or West. The East has come out very strong. In total their record is 36-19 (65.5% winning percent), and they're 11-2 against the Central (84.6% winning percent) and 9-2 against the West (81.8% winning percent). Of course Tampa is boosting that record quite a bit, but 4 of 5 teams are over .500 and Boston is only one game below .500
-
Gleyber isn't especially fast. I think he's been taking advantage of the pitch clock and getting a jump when the timer reaches 0. I'm sure pitchers will adjust by starting to throw over right as the timer hits 0.

Red Sox v Orioles March 30th
bkzwhitestrican replied to moonslav59's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Would you guys like to take Tyler Danish back as well? He'd fit right in. -
I think it's set so that games won't count towards the matchup until 4/10. Not sure if settings can still be adjusted to make 4/3 the first week of matchups.
-
Boston feels like an 80 win team to me, but I've learned from history to never discount them until they're eliminated. Hopefully by the ASB!
