wow the backhand worked for the catcher.

don't help him out!

missed the meatball and this guy buckled down.

dont' help him out leury he cant' throw a strike.

lol last mariners game I was at I said that about the edible.

The guy that shouted earlier this year at whoever was taking so long on the mound was great. "Hey, I only got the baby sitter for 4 hours and imma send the bill for any extra time to you!"

you earned the right when you bought the ticket. doesn't mean you can go after someone's family or be vulgar, but it certainly entitles you to a "YOU SUCK" and all its variants.

I was at a game at Yankee Stadium sitting in CF (decent seats, like 3rd row) and at the start of the game the fans were doing their usual player intro chants and Melky turned to acknowledge the bleacher creatures just as the 1st pitch of the game was cracked and went over his head as he didn't get a good read on it, you know because his back was turned to the batter. The cheers turned into jeers.

Twinkie fans:

Try and avoid this:

Jim Price on Tigers radio would not shut up about how loud G-Rate was during the Tigers series. I agree it's been loud.

they look like shit. like beer league softball unis.

Same. That sounds like BS. They don't even have anybody that has a lot of trade value and they'd be trading low on pretty much everybody but Judge. That almost sounds like a desperate ploy by Cashman to motivate his club.

As I posted yesterday that fact that he's obviously made the tradeoff for more power at the expense of a little contact and is making it work is quite encouraging. Quite a few guys try that at the MLB level and it never works. Evan White is a good example.

WAR isn't a predictive stat and shouldn't be used that way anyways. I mean you can try, but there are better ways like using the component stats and projections.

@ron883 where the fuck is the game thread bro?

I still can't believe the Giants actually called Basabe up last year, might be the only MLB action the kid ever sees but hey at least he got his partial pension and health care.

I'd imagine they'd have tried to get another TOR starter for him. Who I have no idea. That said, I think Kelenic's value might have peaked this offseason. He's not a top 10 prospect in MLB as a mediocre corner OF, his hit tool has been exposed and the power was never more than 55 or so FV which just doesn't play as good in the corners.

The Sawx wanted to pawn off benitendi on the Sox and Hahn came back with Moncada and Kopech. There is some speculation he asked for Devers instead of Moncada but Sawx said no. Thank god they held out for Moncada instead of benitendi.

lol, such a sloppy article. How much of the Sox' 72 million guaranteed in 2024 is "FA money" and how much is arb buyout money? Isn't 3/4 of it arb buyout?

Sometimes I think the manager is too close to the game. Yea, sure that was the score at the time and you had some decent speed aboard but also Detroit couldn't get an out, their pitching staff was rattled (it was Holland right?) and there are quite a few other ways the runners get moved up that don't involve giving away an out. Just stop bunting so much, that's all we ask. It's almost never smart. Bottom of 9 in a tie game is pretty much the only time it's justified by the run expectancy.

Why aim so low? I think Pete Rose needs to look out.

It was probably the one time out of 100 it made sense to draft for need. sox needed a plug and play 2B for the contention window, nick fit the bill.

Never understood this genre of post and never will. As if predicting things on inference is easy and not something experts (highly paid as well) fail at time and time again. Better to be in the arena and have skin in the game then just mindlessly parrot a position. His xWOBA is 50 points lower than his actual wOBA, there is def some luck involved in his line so far. Doesn't mean he's not a good player, but it does mean that at some point he will regress and he will have to improve his true talent level. he's already improved his baserunning to basically average and his defense, while not good, isn't horrible anymore, so sure, give him credit, as I have, uh done, time and time again as more data points emerge.
