He was due,

but........there.......was.........that.........white flag trade.....still hard to forget

So it's not just the Sox?

Do the Rays seem to have this failed potential in their farm system where everyone is a 1B/DH candidate?

I live in the Phoenix area so none of the local sports interest me. I started to dislike ESPN after 2005, especially Berman. 24 hour sports news is like the Enquirer.

Wow brings back the old days of certain pitchers that were always accused of doctoring the ball. I guess it's payback for the steroid era,

Yep (I got ejected from a high school football game) and I still think it's overrated when judging a player. I'm from a different generation watching over a half century of baseball. How many hall of famers destroyed a dugout? It's more about self control Look at the negative comments and it proves my point. When the team is not doing well people on the forum think a bench clearing brawl will fix it.

They will also put the lock on Robert's base stealing.

What is this sticky crackdown?

Emotion is the overrated and fans feel it is necessary in modern professional sports. It's worked it's way into youth sports, It's why I can't stomach the NFL anymore. If you look at the greats in all professional sports they weren't throwing fits or over celebrating. When an athlete sucks we expect them to throw a fit otherwise they don't care. Some can't generate enough soap operas for this team that use to be reserved for the Northside.

The Abreau K didn't help him either.

I kinda bummed there are no farm system games today

Collins impersonating Wayne Nordhagen.

Double take that was really Eaton.

He was out so bad I thought that was Konerko trying to steal,

There's a lot of bad baseball in the minors right now. Maybe because of 2020.

That's the scary part.

Pitcher with a million dollar arm and 10 cent brain.

Made no sense why he did this.

With this brittle team that means the ability to avoid the DL. Sure he sucks but they would probably be worse without him.

If it was an away game I'd like the chance of the pitchers taking swings. Could it be any worse?

This must be hard for the hitters to adjust after seeing those hard fastballs from the Yankees.

I guess pitchers fear his .140 avg.

They would get another NL guy that can't hit AL pitching. I guess you can't get enough of those.

It's still May and teams go through slumps.
