That’s it Orgfiller, keep the streak alive! Orgfiller has the GDT helm until we lose. Then he walks the plank and someone else has to bring the good ju ju.

That lineup with Vlad at 3B and Biggio at 2B actually looks above average, or am I crazy?

With half the Yankees roster living on stretchers and Red Sox imploding, we might actually be a .500 ball club if you add those two. Granted our pitching holds up.

 

Unfortunately chances of people getting dealt in July is quite high, the “names to be flipped for prospects” list is a long one.

There's also a chance some of those names get extended rather than traded.

[Brownie19]

Figures we don't play Boston when they are struggling - or the Yanks while 70% of their team is hurt...

[Deadpool]

Buck totally just said Grandal Richuk

[el duque]

Matt Shoemaker our new ace, 3-0, 1.75 ERA

[el duque]

That splitter is so good

[Orgfiller]

Nice shoe string catch Billy.

[Deadpool]

Shoemaker to Mets for ?

 

He's arb eligible for us next year, really shouldn't move him for anything unless it's a GREAT return.

[el duque]

beat the shift

[Deadpool]

Ugg, sac bunt in the 3rd inning...

[Slade]

yikes a sac bunt.

[Angrioter]

Montoya killing the rally

[Orgfiller]

Gotta love the cross up hits. Catcher looks like a total idiot.

[glory]

Charlie Buntoyo.

 

Ned Montoyost.

 

Let’s come up with a nickname for our sabermetric guru.

[Deadpool]

Should have tagged from first one that one.

[Deadpool]

Maile isn't an auto-out, that sac bunt was so f***ing stupid.

[el duque]

Not gonna do better than Montoyost.

 

Mon toyota

[Krylian]

Maile isn't an auto-out, that sac bunt was so f***ing stupid.

 

It's a wet dream for casuals though.

[Slade]

Hell yea boys we played for 1 run and got it. Wooo Let's go Blue Jays!!

[Orgfiller]

Maile isn't an auto-out, that sac bunt was so f***ing stupid.

 

Uh... he's a career 59 wRC+ who projects as a 64 wRC+ hitter. He's as close to an auto-out as a Major League hitter gets.

[Deadpool]

It's a wet dream for casuals though.

 

And they'll all say it "worked" 'cause we got one run. But Maile has the ability to shoot a double into the gap and score 2 with no outs... So, I mean, yay that we're winning, but boo that we wasted an out.

[Pinkfloid]

Why bunt if you're not going to be aggressive on the basepaths afterward? That Galvis fly ball seemed deep enough.

[Carlos Danger]

Should have got at least 2 that inning.. I think Galvis thinks he is a HR hitter now.

[Deadpool]

Uh... he's a career 59 wRC+ who projects as a 64 wRC+ hitter. He's as close to an auto-out as a Major League hitter gets.

 

It's the 3rd inning in the AL, a sac bunt is stupid 100% of the time in the 3rd inning of a game in the AL.

[glory]

Not gonna do better than Montoyost.

 

Montoyost it is.

 

Sac bunts, s***** hitters leading off, “playing the game the right way”. Old school time.
