He could be Aaron Judge except a shortstop and faster lol

Oneil "Tapia" Cruz

 

That's just rude. Cruz has more talent in his shoelaces that Tapia has in his entire family lineage.

Will never forget the absolute monster HR he hit of TJ Zoinks in Spring Training 2020, was down there with the wife for her conference and caught a game between the Jays and Pirates in Bradenton. I'd never heard of him before the game but started talking with the Pirates fans and asked them who they were paying attention to, every single one of them said Oniel Cruz. When he murdered the baseball like 500 feet over the CF restaurant on the concourse, I knew why.

 

Vlad Jr hit a frozen rope down the LF line that day, Bo homered and Pearson threw 2 innings and looked amazing. It was a great game to watch.

I remember you posting about that, beast.

Mariners comeback from a 5-run deficit; gonna lose our WC spot today if Texas doesn't win.

 

Edit: nvm, we'll be tied with RSox for 3rd spot; Mariners will take WC2

[Omar]

Cinci wins again tonight takes 2 of 3 from the Yanks. Last time the Yanks won a series was July 2/3 against the Guardians.

IKF bunted to the mound, Houck throws a clean DP ball away, allowing Yankees to tie.

Yankees have to be the luckiest f***ers ever this season lol.

 

---

 

Sox walk to load the bases (0 outs) and then induce a GIDP; still tied 4 - 4

Yankees commit a NOBLETIGER. Going to extras. Tied 4 - 4

 

---

Sox also load bases in the 10th and nothing comes out of it. Tied 4 - 4, bottom 10th we go with Judge/Rizzo/Stanton

Yankees loaded the bases AGAIN on a IBB/error and then GIDP. Tied 4 - 4 top 11th we go

 

---

Top 11th, 2 outs - Xander (Manfred Runner) on 3rd.

King pitches a slider, Trevino couldn't field it cleanly - bounces off him back towards King. Xander takes off and scores because King didn't get to the plate.

Game winner. Damn. Fun game!

lol how did the Yankees not win it with the bases loaded and nobody out. For sure thought that was over

[Solaxys]

JRod comes up clutch with a 2-out grand-slam, probably leading Mariners to their 12th straight win. (8 - 3 top of 8th)

 

First player in MLB to have 15+ HRs, 50+ RBI, 20+ Steals in the first 90 games.

[Solaxys]

Kershaw perfect through SEVEN!!! 71 pitches, 7 IP

 

jk, its over in the 8th

Hader's ERA went from 1.05 at the start of July to 4.50 as of last night after giving up two solo HRs and a grand slam in the bottom of the 9th allowing Giants to walk off.

So uhh.....Teoscar+Tiedemann+Moreno+Zulueta+1st rd pick from this year???

How do you even trade for Soto when he rejected that contract. Do you actually think we are going to offer more here? No way you mortgage your team for a rental.

[Stangstag]

No. You’d be trading for him expecting to have him for 2.5 years and that’s it pretty much.

[Jays24]

No. You’d be trading for him expecting to have him for 2.5 years and that’s it pretty much.

 

As great as Soto is... no way you're trading all that for a rental even if its Soto.

And I thought he had 1.5 years left of control.

[RustyTrombone]

Hard to consider him a rental when its for 2.5 years.

[RustyTrombone]

We all know hes going to the Dodgers anyway

[Jonn]

Jays should be all over the Soto sweepstakes involve Vlad if you have to. That bat way to special.

[Solaxys]

Bo and Manoah have to be involved, and of the two, it'd have to be Bo. No one else even comes close to denting the value Soto has.

 

Bo + Moreno + Orelvis + two upside arms will probably get it done. Just not sure how much value FO puts in Bo.

I would give up Bo with zero hesitation. Espinal could play SS until we found a more long term solution.

[JFD]

Do it!
