Around Baseball 2023

Shut up about Riley Greene

 

Been a month at least

[Ehjays]

 

[Stangstag]

 

Yankees fans will still claim he wasn’t cheating though because “the umpires checked him”

[Spanky99]

This is crazy. There have been 4 sticky stuff violations. Max Scherzer gets one and then the Yankees are responsible for the other three. Yet despite the repeated violations they keep getting warnings? That makes no sense.

 

It really is crazy that the dude came back out??? I don't get it.

WTF is Walsh doing? Down 2 runs in the 6th 2 men on nobody out, and he bunts a pop out to the 3rd baseman??? It could've been the skip as he tried twice, either way it was dumb AF.

But but but…bunting is small ball and small ball takes skill and stuff and ….reasons.

Hicks finally DFA by the Yankees. They traded for Greg Allen back from the Red Sox and punted Hicks

The Yankees gave him $70M !

[John_Havok]

The Yankees gave him $70M !

 

And still owe him 20 million through 2025. Ah well, that won’t hurt them, they can outspend that mistake.

Blue Jays should pick him up!

LOL no. But I know you’re not serious

I’d still bunt in that situation all day Jays 7-9 coming up.

You’d bunt to give the worst hitters on the team fewer out to work with?

[connorp]

Yeah, Walsh has been like almost Biggio terrible. I’d want Biggio bunting 100% and take the chance one of the two guys coming up gets a hit. Take the double play out

[connorp]

If you crammed all the numbers into the machine considering everything (meaning s***** hitters involved and not just men-on-base/outs), I doubt there’d be any clear winner

I see the Astros starting to roll and now at 27 wins after slow start.

Love to see stuff like this. Baseball aint dead

And to be fair, no weekend series were home in Oakland or Miami…so that helped.

Kelenic hit a ball 470 ft... I'm pretty sure that's hard to do in Seattle at night, or anytime for that matter. Big turnaround, I didn't think it was going to happen. And what happened to Winker, Boxcar8???

It's like Kelenic and J-Rod switched bodies...

Kelenic sucked the lifeblood from Teo and Jrod to become an absolute monster

s*** framing.
