I think Britton is a viable alternative. He came on pretty good in Sept after originally struggling returning from his injury.

Agreed, that was a horrible call as well.

Not thin skinned at all, idiot. It's about respect for what my family members do/have done for a living.

I guess you call him slim? And I don't golf, I prefer fishing.

This is cute. dewdrop has me on ignore, rants about my posts and asks me a question that I can't respond to because he has me on ignore. I never understood how someone can be so thin skinned. I picture him running to mommy "Mommy, someone I don't know said things I don't agree with on the internet!! Can you make the bad man go away??!!" I mean, really, grow a sack.

joe west is a fat turd that has no business being an outfield ump, he was at least 100 feet away and really in no position to make the call. But since he did the replay guys can't overturn the original call without 100% confidence. Had west correctly called it the other way it would have stood as a home run.

Nonsense, the fan certainly didn't "close mookie's glove". The astros got hosed on that play. This article makes a great point about the umps. https://nypost.com/2018/10/18/debacle-shows-mlb-must-keep-older-umps-off-outfield-duty/

Probably bigger than this.... https://www.12up.com/posts/6197157-v...ostseason-long

Agreed. I could be wrong, but I just don't see him fitting in salary-wise or personality-wise.

Yes, that's what I said. Pretty simple, don't know why it needed to be explained to you. Oh wait, check that. Sometimes I forget that you're about as sharp as a marble.......

I would be very surprised if we do........

More delusions from jacko, Sevy's not going anywhere........

Manny Machado not worth the trouble for the Yankees By Kevin Kernan October 17, 2018 | 4:13am LOS ANGELES — Manny Machado’s free agency isn’t exactly getting off on the right foot. There haven’t been this many red flags out here since the last beach closing in Malibu. The Dodgers shortstop is on a stunningly destructive course this postseason to keep teams from signing him even though he has a world of talent, and his incredible tone-deaf comments about his lack of hustle are the ultimate warning: Let the buyer beware. To make matters worse, Machado took a cheap shot at Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar in the 10th inning of a 1-1 game Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium. As Machado was getting thrown out at first, his left foot kicked Aguilar’s right plant foot and Aguilar let him know he was not happy as benches emptied. Stay away, Yankees. Stay far, far away. Spend your money elsewhere. In the 13th, Machado came around from second to score the winning run on Cody Bellinger’s two-out single to right as the Dodgers came away with a dramatic 2-1 victory after five hours and 15 minutes to even the NLCS at 2-2. Machado hustled to score and slapped the plate with his left hand as he slid home, setting off a wild celebration. As for the earlier play at first, Machado said, “Things happen. We know each other since the minor leagues.’’ Still, the Brewers were furious with Machado, calling it a dirty play, and as Christian Yelich walked away from his locker, he fumed, “F–k that motherf—er.’’ “His foot was on the bag,’’ Machado said of Aguilar. “I was trying to get over him and hit his foot, if that’s dirty, that’s dirty, call it what you want.’’ It was dirty. As for Machado playing hard on the play at first base, Craig Counsell said, “I don’t think he’s playing all that hard.’’ Yes, now this series has an edge. Machado singled with one out and moved to second on a wild pitch to set up Bellinger’s two-out game-winning hit. Machado had told Ken Rosenthal in an interview on FS1 that if you are looking for hustle, Malibu Manny is not your guy. Amazing, Manny wants his $300-plus million but doesn’t want to break a sweat. Yankees fans don’t want any part of that kind of attitude, no matter what kind of talent the player possesses. “Obviously I’m not going to change, I’m not the type of player that’s going to be ‘Johnny Hustle,’ and run down the line and slide to first base. That’s just not my personality, that’s not my cup of tea, that’s not who I am,’’ Machado explained as to why he did not run hard on a ground ball in Game 2. How about Johnny Cheap Shot? Manny doesn’t want to be Johnny Hustle. He’s too cool for that school of baseball. He’s going to play his way, and if you don’t like it, too bad. That’s your problem. No, Machado doesn’t want to be Johnny Hustle, but he does want to be Johnny Paycheck. He can’t even fake hustle in an effort to get his team back to the World Series. The Dodgers haven’t won a World Series since 1988. “Should I have run on that pitch? Yeah … but I didn’t and I got to pay the consequences for it,’’ said Machado, who was criticized by many, including Hall of Fame pitcher and Orioles broadcaster Jim Palmer, who has watched Machado play in Baltimore. “It does look bad. It looks terrible,’’ Machado admitted. “I look back at the video and I’m like, ‘Whoa, what was I doing?’ I’m the type of player that has stayed in the zone, I’m playing and I’m just in the zone.’’ The Dodgers traded for Machado, but don’t expect them to sign him long-term. “He doesn’t want to be a leader,’’ one Dodgers official told The Post, another major red flag. Manny wants the money but not the responsibility. Aaron Judge has established a style of play for the Yankees: Hustle and support your teammates. If Machado were to show up in pinstripes and say, “I’m not hustling. That’s not me,’’ that changes the team dynamic. “I’ve tried changing it for eight years and I still can’t figure it out, but one of these days I will,’’ Machado told Rosenthal. He’s not changing. Here are some more observations. “At shortstop, he doesn’t use two hands, and that’s not good,’’ one talent evaluator at the NLCS told The Post. “He’s a tremendous third baseman and his arm is spectacular, but he’s not a top-quality shortstop.’’ Machado is basically telling the Yankees: Don’t sign me. If you do sign me, this is what you will get, home runs, but no hustle. Let the Phillies or Angels sign Machado. The Yankees have home run hitters. Let Judge lead the way, let Giancarlo Stanton re-evaluate his swing and make the adjustments. Go get pitching. Machado’s home OPS throughout his career that was mostly spent at Camden Yards is .887. His road OPS is .761, a significant difference. Machado is a supremely talented player who openly admits he will not hustle and will not change. How does that benefit a team? Manny Machado is not worth the money or the headache. https://nypost.com/2018/10/17/manny-machado-not-worth-the-trouble-for-the-yankees/

Geez, you don't have a f***ing clue, nowhere did I state that dewdrop wanted him on the sox.... Do you even read?

Geez, and if he wore a sox uniform you'd be telling us what a dirt dog he is........

Well, this was my second attempt to end it and we both know Youk will end it anyway. I just figured it was better than to continue down the rabbit hole and piss him off.

You can keep trolling, have fun.

Everyone has their right to protest. Just as I have my right not to support them. It would be much better if they protested on their own time. I wouldn't have been able to walk in to work and stage a protest, I would have been fired. And I do find it disrespectful when the founder of the protest wears socks depicting police officers as pigs..... But I'm not going to change your mind and you certainly aren't going to change mine, so let's get back to baseball.

That's a bingo!!

Hardly a snowflake. My family has a long history of law enforcement and I refuse to support any group that disrespects them, pretty simple. Maybe you don't have those values or principles but I do.

Weak excuse. They were still a wild card team.

While it would certainly bolster his worth, I highly doubt it puts him in the "elite range".

Correct, which is why I stated "I have no problem....."

Interesting, I like Corbin. Thanks for the link.
