April 3, 20188 yr Author Jayson Stark?Verified account @jaysonst 4h4 hours ago Jayson Stark Retweeted Mike Mitchell Or this: Bartolo started in Oakland last night. In his 1st start there, he opposed... Rickey Henderson, who retired 15 years ago. AJ Hinch, who is on his 2nd managing job. And Tom Candiotti, who has been a broadcaster for 18 seasons.
April 3, 20188 yr Author An interesting read on what would happen if a guy like Joey Gallo bunted into the shift. https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/art...bunt-joey-bunt/

April 4, 20188 yr Ohtani was sandbagging all the time, haha. https://www.mlb.com/news/shohei-ohtani-hits...run/c-270714474 Hanging 74 mph inside curveball from Tomlin. (Let's see if he can hit a 95+ mph fastball for a homer for his next trick.) Although the Angels having two superstars makes things incrementally harder for the White Sox (albeit different divisions), it's great for the sport overall to have another Japanese superstar (if that's what he eventually becomes). Maybe he's the type of transcendent personality that inspires a breakthrough in China or India, even. Edited April 4, 20188 yr by caulfield12
April 4, 20188 yr Ohtani now 3/8 after taking all of spring training to come up with those numbers...make that 4/9. Edited April 4, 20188 yr by caulfield12

April 4, 20188 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 10:42 AM) you are so itching to declare him the best international prospect ever, arent you Nope...another homer, this one off Kluber to tie the game. 92 mph four-seam fb. 5/11 Edited April 4, 20188 yr by caulfield12
April 5, 20188 yr Yankees tried to get Trayce Thompson to AAA, but Oakland claimed him. I really am surprised the Sox have no interest. I would claim him, DFA Saladino, make Leury the primary INF back up, give Trayce some ABs, if he hits great, if not, no one will claim him, you can drop him to AAA. You might not even have to DFA Saladino. He may have an option left. Edited April 5, 20188 yr by Dick Allen

You might not even have to DFA Saladino. He may have an option left. Depends if they like him over Cordell, and/or Leury mostly in the outfield vs. a defensive infield replacement. Or Skole/Tilson...those would SEEM to be the three guys that Thompson would have to be better than, maybe Palka. If Cordell can legitimately play 3rd (and 1B), he has an advantage.

April 5, 20188 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 03:14 PM) "All-time" doesn't seem to remember anything much pre-1960. You are right, misleading title from the article considering they write: "When looking at the post-war, modern era (from about 1950 until now), there are 25 hurlers who stand above the rest as the greatest starting pitchers in history. Here are those men, sorted by Wins Above Replacement (via Fangraphs)."
April 6, 20188 yr QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 09:52 PM) Mike Matheny is horrible We often over dramatize how bad a manager might be and how much his decisions actually affect his team's record. But that's not the case with Matheny. He truly is that horrible and costs his team and franchise drastically in the win loss department. It can't be understated.
April 6, 20188 yr Machado 2 Yankees 1. He also told the media, he is remaining a SS. He won’t move back to 3B even for the Yankees. Edited April 6, 20188 yr by Dick Allen
April 7, 20188 yr Ohtani just crushed another homer, 3rd of the year. Three consecutive games, all 3 home games. Hitting 7/16... Hendriks just walked him with bases loaded, wouldnt give him anything over the plate. Edited April 7, 20188 yr by caulfield12
April 7, 20188 yr I am so hyped for Ohtani. I know we are still at a super small sample size, but he's the most interesting player I have ever seen.
April 7, 20188 yr He absolutely tattoed a ball to 1b off a lefty reliever...at ‘em ball. Hes hanging in extremely well against LHP. Ended up 1/4 with a walk, struck out against a tough breaking pitch bearing inside.
April 8, 20188 yr https://mobile.twitter.com/MLBONFOX/status/...053772908781569 Haha love Yadi, but shocked he didn't get ejected from this.
April 8, 20188 yr Ohtani is just dealing. The A's are no world beaters but their lineup is decent. They have no chance. 10 K's through 5. Did he send his twin brother to spring training? Edited April 8, 20188 yr by GermanSoxFan
April 8, 20188 yr Knew he would pitch. Losing the leg kick did wonders for hitting. Great for baseball!
