Around Baseball 2022

[wilko]

I could see Cortes and Taillon and Montgomery all struggling at some point. Add in an injury or two to their old players...

 

Taillon's a time bomb so he can go at any point.

[Deadpool]

Should check out recent pics of former pitcher and now bodybuilder Kyle Farnsworth. It’s beyond experimental for him, looks like he used every steroid on Earth

 

Jesus. I was not expecting that much of a freak-show...

[John_Havok]

And because now everyone is curious...

I bet his velocity has taken a hit with that new physique.

I definitely do not understand the appeal of someone wanting to look like that.

[Solaxys]

One could say the Stros were lucky the Jays offense was in a lull?

 

To what end? We took 5 from them and almost took the 6th. I suppose Astros were lucky that Jays didn't beat them with a bigger run differential.

[Laika]

He would only look that weird and veiny when he's like fasting and not drinking water right before a competition

 

Normally he probably just looks like a typical kinda fat jacked dude

[Abomination]

I bet his velocity has taken a hit with that new physique.

 

Apparently he played football prior to bodybuilding and suffered a shoulder injury that has hurt his velocity. I think he said he now tops out at 86 or 88mph (which actually isn't horrible for 46 years old even without a shoulder injury).

How many games are the Yankees going to win this year?!?!

 

JFC it's insane

JFC it's insane

 

Every game they should've lost, some pitcher came in during the late innings, had abysmal command, walked one or two, threw a meatball that was turned on.

Happened with Garza Jr in Tampa, happened with Pressly yesterday.

 

Its just some dark magic lol.

Yanks settle with Judge on arb. Probably should’ve done that a month ago. Not that goodwill will save them anything though I guess… not at this point.

I thought he was foolish to turn down the Yankees offer this off season but....

Most did, myself included

 

Felt like the public shaming they gave him was totally warranted

He wins an MVP (he's close with Devers and JRam) and his price goes up for sure

[Terminator]

Bro do you even lift?

[John_Havok]

I don't think it will go up significantly though. 7 years at 30.5 per year starting in 2023 is probably still going to be about what he ends up getting. Maybe some team adds an option year, maybe some team tries to go shorter term for higher AAV... but I really dont see a lot of front offices lining up to pay that guy past the age of 38 at a significantly higher AAV than 30.5

[John_Havok]

Every day when I take a piss.

Holy s***!

[Spanky__99]

lol...

 

[connorp]

lol...

 

 

Did he actually get ejected? Can you get ejected in that scenario? Seems pretty empty, rather than fine or something

[Solaxys]

Tucker hits a 3-run HR off Severino; 3 - 0 Astros.

lol. So many 3-run jacks.

 

Stanton hits a solo blast off Verlander; 3 - 1 Astros.

 

That's all she wrote; Yankees lose.

Os 1-hit White Sox on a Bullpen day. I know WSox are injured and all, more so than when we faced them, but oof, Os bullpen is something.

Just watch, Buxton will be out most of July and August

 

I was right, dummies. Gilbert >> Buxton.

 

Twins

 

• Bryon Buxton will likely get half of as many at-bats going forward.

 

Byron Buxton was out of the starting lineup for a second straight game in Thursday’s series finale against the Guardians with a continued flare-up in the tendinitis in his right knee that makes it too painful for him to swing and run. Despite that, the Twins maintained that there are no plans for their center fielder to go on the injured list.

 

Buxton had also missed Wednesday’s 11-10 loss to Cleveland with the chronic knee pain and swelling, which the Twins had been managing day to day since the start of the season. The club will continue to do so, with the hope that Buxton’s knee will improve enough for him to play within one or two days.

 

“He’s done an admirable job and he’s going to continue to do an admirable job going forward dealing with this,” manager Rocco Baldelli said. “But, like I said, when you literally cannot swing or run, you can’t play the game. And there have been other days this year, earlier in the season, where he couldn’t do those things and he doesn’t play those days. And there are other days where we have to get him a day off his feet so it doesn’t get to the point where we’re talking like this.”

 

Why not place Buxton on the IL, then? Baldelli said there’s no guarantee that would even resolve the issue. What the Twins don’t want is for Buxton to have to miss a sizeable chunk of games and then be right back where they started within a matter of days upon his return.

[Laika]

Buxton is toast, sad

[Spanky__99]

Damn, fun to watch when healthy.

[Stangstag]

Buxton is toast, sad

 

Im honestly surprised its June and he isn’t on the DL yet

 

At least he made it this long

[connorp]

Buxton is toast, sad

 

You’re like the guy that was pushing crypto shrugging his shoulders lol

[Solaxys]

Yankees getting no-hit through 6

[Laika]

You’re like the guy that was pushing crypto shrugging his shoulders lol

 

He's amazing toast
