how about we just resign Mark since we won't get anything good with it.

I want more Poreda!

 

 

Who doesn't?

 

Ely goes tonite.

99 pitches for Javy

 

he gets this inning.

 

then we cross our fingers and pray.

I disagree. We do both at every Yankees game and I think it's a nice tribute, especially considering what is still going on in the world. It only takes an extra minute and they still do Take Me Out to the Ballgame right after.

It's not our national anthem, why show it the same respect? If they play "Courtesy of the USA" or "Born in the USA" would you stand for it?

 

Does baseball think they don't have any atheist, agnostic, or other non-God worshiping religions fans?

Have we found out what's wrong with Poreda?

That is actually a good point. I don't like the song itself, but I like what they're trying to do with it.

If there was some better song than God Bless America, I guess I'd prefer that as an alternative.

He's walked a grand total of 49 times in his career which has led to an IsoD (OBP-AVG) of 27 which is absolutely terrible. His power has actually disappeared altogether this season, he only has 5 HRs and his doubles (according to MLB.com) have mainly been ground balls down the lines, not a lot of drives deep into the gaps.

 

So he doesn't walk, doesn't hit for much power, gives you a nice average, plays poor defense and has average speed. I'd rather just find a poor defensive, semi-athletic LF and stick him at 2B. He'd be cheaper to acquire and could give you similar production.

Like Greene, Cano's road splits interest me. .333 .361 .510 .871

Why hasn't he pitched since the 28th? Is Great Falls on some irregular schedule, or do they have a quirky rotation?

Did you guys see Buehrle in the dugout shaking hands with the other guys?

way to get that DP.

The Great Falls contact I have says he was just skipped.

Did you guys see Buehrle in the dugout shaking hands with the other guys?

 

Are you serious?

I've got a feeling a move happens today. Just a feeling, cause it's Sunday.

Are you serious?

I saw it, Hawk explained it as guys bolt out of the clubhouse for the All-Star break, but I got a queasy feeling when I saw it

Well, if Ellsbury changes hates during the Futures game, we'll know what's going on.

Yes Mark was shaking hands in the dugout. They showed it twice on tv

so he wont bat 1st or 2nd in your line-up.... he hit 342 last year.... with an 890 OPS (15 HR's) in just 122 games. While I agree that Cano isn't a very well rounded player (i would argue the opposite) I think that this is a player who is going to develop more power and swings a heavy bat (whatever that means).

 

Considering we don't like players who actually make money Cano might be an interesting piece.

I disagree. We do both at every Yankees game and I think it's a nice tribute, especially considering what is still going on in the world. It only takes an extra minute and they still do Take Me Out to the Ballgame right after.

It is done every Sunday at all ballparks (do the Yanks do it for every game?) and I think its a nice thing to do once a week.

dead serious...

he shook hands with Danks and Garland...

they were sitting on the seats in front of the dugout...

he came up behind them, said something, and shook hands with both of them.

 

Hawk and DJ even acknowledged it by saying that the players were getting in their goodbyes because at the end of the game everyone runs out to go home like its a race.

 

I hope he was shaking hands in reference to getting a deal done.

 

FWIW, Matt Kemp is in the Dodgers lineup today.

Did you guys see Buehrle in the dugout shaking hands with the other guys?

Ya. It looked like a goodbye of some sorts. DJ indicated players get there goodbyes in but maybe something has happened or maybe Buehrle figures something will happen so he better get his good byes in now cause he won't be wearing a uni when the ASB ends.

i hope it's a congratulation shake..............

maybe his wife had a baby?

they've already taken the guys in the bullpen to the grayhound station so they can go home for the break.

 

Javy said told him if anybody is going to mess this up, it's me, skip.
