    Yankees prospect Matt Sauer wasn’t perfect, but he did set a franchise record. The 17 strikeouts for Sauer, who began the game with five perfect innings, were the most by any Patriots pitcher in franchise history, including in the team’s Atlantic League era. The punch-out mark also was the most for any full-season starting pitcher in the minors — and majors — this season, according to the team’s website. The 23-year-old Sauer was the Yankees’ second-round pick in 2017 (54th overall)

    I just bought a vintage Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots

    I doubt Mookie resigns back with the Sox.

    I usually hit a few different venues. Last year I went to the Phillies, Tigers, Cardinals, Red Sox and Yankees facilities. Got an autograph from Gleyber Torres outside the Cardinals complex.
  5. DerekJackson
    Maybe, or maybe not.

    I don't think they "set him up to fail". I mean, why would they want him to fail? I just think he's in a tough spot.
  7. DerekJackson
    Not at all. But if every team (or most) were, how much of an advantage is it?
  8. DerekJackson
    So if it's no big deal, why has there only been 1 player to accomplish it?
  9. DerekJackson
    Nobody said .300 alone should. But as I said, when you are the only player in the history of the game to hit .300 with 3000+ hits, 250+ HR's and 300+ steals that's pretty amazing considering how many players have played the game.
  10. DerekJackson
    So do you believe the rest of the teams were clean?
  11. DerekJackson
    So you don't think it's very tough to hit over .300 lifetime with a 20yr career? I'd be curious to see how many players have done that in the history of the game.
  12. DerekJackson
    I certainly don't condone steroids in baseball. Never have, never will.
  13. DerekJackson
    Yes, because average players end up 6th on the all time hit list. And there's plenty of "average" players who hit for a lifetime average of .300+ over a 20yr career. SMH

    I am not whoever you think I am. If you have an issue with me then may I suggest you put me on ignore.
  15. DerekJackson
    I remember that too! Although there's little evidence to support the theory that super balls or corked bats help to hit more HR's. In fact, some reports show quite the opposite: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/the-physics-of-cheating-in-baseball-19613464/
  16. DerekJackson
    My point still stands. You wouldn't vote for Jeter as a HOF'er because of his defense, despite the fact that he's 6th all time in hits, and is the ONLY player in the history of the game with at least 250 career homers, a .300 lifetime batting average, 350 steals and 3,000 hits. Yet your SS, a below average fielder at best, is a "building block". Yeah, sure, no bias at all.

    If I were the Twins' GM there's no way I part with an additional top prospect if all I'm getting in return is Maeda.
  18. DerekJackson
    I'm not sure if he was named and I did read the same stories saying he was against it. I understand what you are saying about only naming guys no longer in the organization. Pretty obvious they are trying to distance themselves from it when we all know they are guilty as hell.

    Wasn't Hinch with the team last year?
  21. DerekJackson
    Hahaha!
  22. DerekJackson
    No, I was just pointing out the double standard.
  23. DerekJackson
    Ah, thank you for the explanation. And thanks for the welcome aboard!
  24. DerekJackson
    ???
  25. DerekJackson
    I would think that if it had ended already that they would have announced it. MLB needs to put this behind them, so waiting to announce the decision(s) if the investigation is over doesn't make much sense to me. But I could be wrong.
