That funky motion

QUOTE (farmteam @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 01:25 PM) I feel like the Newsroom is getting better and better each week. I agree!!! My wife isn't into it but I'm hooked.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 06:26 PM) Exactly my point. Dyson didn't do anything wrong, it was a weird play where pauly turned his head into the running lane I thought that at first, then I watched the reply a few times. Last 5 steps before he hits the bag, he steps toward Paulie on the other side of the foul line. He the has the whole bag, but goes toward Paulie, with his whole body and elbow up. It just doesn't look right.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 06:14 PM) Did I miss something? Why should he be plunked? He's the player that elbowed Paulie in the head.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 06:06 PM) Oh come on, you aren't serious, are you? I think he should but wonder what other posters thought.

If and when Dyson gets an at bat, does he get plunked?

Crain looks like he is going to cry

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) Huh? What's going on for those of us who can't see the game? Fan had a heart attack in the stands

How sad is this

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 04:51 PM) I don't see any HOMELAND marathon on my guide this weekend, but I third it's awesomeness. I don't see one either. This thread got me hooked on BB and Mad Men, so I want to check out homeland. Is it going into it's 2nd season?

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 11:20 AM) Danks and Flowers hit two important homers, so let's play neither of them and instead play Wise and Olmedo. Whats the rational behind this? I'm sick of Ventura giving away games every sunday with these terrible lineups. While I don't like the lineup, he really hasn't done the Sunday line up a lot.

Flower Power!!!

If Youk would have been on 3rd, they had Norris.

I usually go to Mexico but this year, I went to Panama City, Florida. I rented a 4 bedroom condo on the beach and my wife and 2 kids loved it. I used my credit card points for gift cards to Wal mart, and purchased groceries for the week. While the condo cost me a bit more, the food savings was huge. We went to the beach everyday and everyone was happy.

Wondering if the ump is trying to make up for the blown call in the 1st.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 08:48 PM) How in the hell is that slow curve on the outside corner being called a strike? Called it on AJ too. Not a strike

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 08:41 PM) Wow BJ & Justin Upton both hit homer number 100 in their careers tonight. Pretty cool. They hit 99 on the same day also

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 07:32 PM) So Paulie was out of the base path? Is that the issue? Yes, inside the line.

It was a bad throw too.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 04:43 PM) How old is that pic? The phone Kenny's holding is old as hell. That phone goes under the radar.

What a job by Jake there.

Boom

Boom!

These Ozzie fights are ruining the board. Please keep it to the Marlins thread, which is ruined already.

Yesterday, Josh Norris tweeted that the White Sox have had scouts at Dellin Betances‘ last three starts for Trenton. He then stated that a source told him that Chicago has “zeroed in” on the big hurler. Betances has been one of the Yankees’ top prospects the last few years, but he has always struggled with his consistency. After going 3-5 with a 6.39 ERA and 5.88 FIP in 16 starts with Empire State, the Yankees finally sent Betances back to Trenton, where he is looking a lot more confident. In Triple-A, Betances was averaging 8.32 BB/9 while picking up 8.56 K/9. In his first three games back in Double-A he has cut his walks way down (3.38 BB/9) while continuing to strike out batters (9.64 K/9). Norris had no insight into who the White Sox would be willing to give up for Betances, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Yankees were willing to part with him for the right deal. Could this be the end of another Killer B in Pinstripes? Update (Brien): My general rule on this sort of thing is that anytime a reporter the caliber of Norris is being told that there’s serious interest in a player from a team, there’s at least a decent chance something will happen. That said, I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for news of a deal between the Yankees and White Sox this year. Like Tamar, I would think the Yankees would be pretty eager to part with Betances in the right deal these days, but looking at the White Sox roster, there just aren’t any obvious fits for a deal between the two teams. From the Yankees’ perspective, getting Matt Thornton or A.J. Pierzynski would be ideal, but neither of those two names are even going to be on the table with the Chi Sox in the thick of the pennant race. As far as a prospect-for-prospect swap, the White Sox system is pretty bare at the moment, but I suppose it’s possible there are some guys there that the Yankees’ scouts are high on and would be willing to swap Betances for.
