Nah, the rumour according to Morisi, is they're trying to move Andrus. Yet, in this circumstance Profar or Odor make sense.

Holland's a beast!!

 

41 saves shows it, plus he's on a 1st place team, unlike Kimbrel, whose Atlanta Braves may miss the playoffs because of their offensive ineptitude.

Guarantee you have a few close ups of your 3 incher ready to go on your cell phone, just in case a girl ever talks to you, but we all know that won't happen.

 

Good one!

Mike and Mike on ESPN this morning brought up two fascinating tidbits of baseball history this morning in light of the Phillies combined no hitter and Adam Dumn hitting a HR in his first at bat for the A's

 

The first combined no hitter in MLB history? 1917. Babe Ruth was 22 years old, started a game for the Red Sox. He walked the first batter, then got ejected from the game, and someone else came in an retired the next 26 batters in route to a team no hitter. Ruth didn't record a single out.

 

Three other players in MLB history with > 450 career HR got traded and hit a HR in their first at bat for their new team. Who? Babe Ruth, Willie Mays and Frank Robinson.

IE: YANKS ARE DUMN!!

 

 

cf

 

Pretty much. Wasting money on Ellsbury when they have Gardner, not resigning Cano, not moving down/benching Jeter, signing McCann when they already had Cervelli, John Ryan Murphy, and Gary Sanchez in the system, signing an aging Beltran, and dangerously Scott Proctoring Dellin Betances (80 IP in 60 appearances.. makes me wonder if his arm will fall off, requiring TJS next season after such overuse.)

 

Scott Proctoring: Overuse of an arm on the Yankees frequently, such as Scott Proctor in 2006, who was used 80 times for 102.1 IP by Joe Torre. He was never the same after that season.

How about Mookie Betts?

 

Already has a hit and a run scored. WHY didn't Boston call him up sooner instead of leaving JBJ and his low average in the lineup everyday?

 

Now if they could do the same with putting Betts at 3B (if he can play it), considering the arrival of Rusney Castillo, and dumping Middlebrooks.. who continues to hurt the team.

That was Bogaerts, not Betts. At least Betts got AAA seasoning.. and is probably their best option at CF until Castillo arrives, if he does.

THE Mookie Betts is now slashing .280/.356/.473/.829 for the year. Can he stay up now?

 

That was earlier in the season when he was first called up that I thought he needed more AAA seasoning. Thankfully, Boston actually did send him down to work on stuff.. and it's now showing in his 2nd go-around.

 

BTW, 3-4 tonight with a solo HR. Good thing for roster expansion.. Yanks are likely going to use a lot of pitchers tonight.

McCann just earned a special place in my heart. He actually bunted his way on v. the shift.

 

It's like he's a normal, functioning human being.

 

somewhere, Colby Lewis is fuming

Alex Avila hurt. Left the game after taking foul tips off the mask, and could be a potential concussion.

 

This could be a major blow to the Tigers playoff hopes if he's out for a period of time.. Holaday is a huge downgrade from Avila, and James McCann is unproven.

That extra computer shut down Tampa Bay's power grid.

 

Get him!
