The M & & M all had great games. Vaughn is reminding me of Robin Ventura's 0-41 streak when it finally ended. Grandal is making me miss McCann something fierce.

That play looked every bit as bad as the one that hit him in the head the other day.

Not quite...more like the All-Star break.

Moncada and Madrigal will both be part of the next WS team. No reason to be bashing either of them.?

Sorry to hear that...probably something else Madrigal did wrong.

Fans are passionate about "our team"...why else would we watch night after night?

To be clear...I am confident that Madrigal has the floor of a reliable everyday 2nd baseman. My hope is for him to challenge Fox as a WS legend.

Yep...I have seen firsthand what Nellie Fox meant to a championship club. I don't know if Nicky can win the MVP as Fox did... but it will be fun to watch him try.

Some of you need to join the WS scouting program. People who can spot a player's floor and ceiling after 45 games would be invaluable.

I hope we pound lumps on him...keeps us all from putting Dunning on a pedestal.

Need to win that game for sure. A loss would have this board in cringeworthy mode.

Good point. Maybe if they load the bases for extra innings...we will rarely see an 11 inning game. I wonder where all these baseball fans are who are clamoring for these changes to the national pastime?

In the last week both Robert and Vaughn are much improved...now I need to work on Moncada.

Millionaires and Billionaires fighting over how much more the fans will have to pay to enjoy their favorite team. Exasperating!

Jose seems to be out of the funk.

I was glad to see him in the lineup at first. Would really add to his value. Only took one play to understand why it didn't happen sooner.

Staying within himself. Looks like he has figured it out. Hope so!

Not a good throw...but a major league player needs to make that catch. If he can't...he shouldn't be playing 1st base.

McCann has us spoiled.

Billy Martin would have had Mercedes & Grandal riding the pine after those blunders.

I wish Robert and Vaughn would be playing up to their potential as well as Madrigal has played to his.

I would be all in on Abreu getting a day off occasionally...but, Yermin at first is scary.

Just saw that. Must be working on his trade value.

And the weather to match.

Yoan has that switch-hit thing working in his favor IMO. I certainly feel that the three spot will belong to Robert in the not too distant future.
