We probably dodged a bullet here...

I would like to formally apologize to all of the Yarbrough Fanboys

I've been right about a lot of things: Kirk, Lukes, Craig Biggio's son, Ernie Clement, trading that slap hitting Catcher away, the Baltimore Orioles, etc. The list is literally too long to name everything.

But I completely bombed letting Yarbrough go. I'm sorry.

Wow... no love for our Korean import Eric Lauer? Or those 3 of 5 sexy starts from our man, Easton Lucas? Paxton Schultz? 🤯 

Pffttt... we don't even need Max Scherzer, we're stacked in depth. F*ck Yarbrough.

The tar is being heated as we speak, AND a special batch of pigeon feathers has been sourced for this transgression.

No apologies needed from the Sheriff.  In the darkest days you and Spanky were a beacon of hope on this forum. 

I still remember being one of the few voices saying "it's still early" when the team was in a tailspin, and going into hiding while the villagers were running around with pitchforks.

There is nothing like starting the week off by reading tweets like this from our AL East rivals

Not even the world's best cup of coffee can compete with this lol

Summer is now in full swing, the boys are on a 5 game win steak, Barger looks like the best 3B in baseball, and the Red Sox are having a complete meltdown online

Now that is really cool.  I think there more opportunity for this in all of sports.  Love the creativity.

To the town square to be tarred and feathered!

How soon until the Royals callup Jac Caglianone?

Their lineup desperately needs help and he's destroying the minors.  It can't be long now.

It's time!  Can wait to see what this kid can do.  He has tower power!

[Terminator]

We're only a half game up on the Royals in the Wild Card race so we need Jac to flop.

I hope he sucks (unless they are playing the Yankees). 

[M.E.]

Angels drop a 6 on the Sox in top 1

wf Soto, grounds into a DP but it wasn't a great throw to 1st and he's trotting down the 1st base line - like really taking his time lol.   ffs this would drive me nuts

It's driven every team he's been on nuts, it's a fact.

It's crazy how rough of a start this Free Agents class is having. 90% of them are off to bad or even disastrous starts.

Soto is fine, his Statcast metrics are super elite. Getting insanely unlucky.

Freeman walks it off in the 10th, the ball should've been caught by Nimmo, he got turned around and f***ed it up.  Muncy's on a serious heater.

Rafaela just hit a walkoff HR just around Pesky Pole at a whopping 308 ft. lol

Lol no surprise but it's a home run in 1/30 parks

4th shortest HR in the statcast era, all of them around the Pesky pole, lol

 

[Terminator]

• Yankees: little league dimensions in right field
• Red Sox: I'll allow the Green Monster since it's unique but pesky pole is even more little league
• Rays: Yankee Stadium dimensions and it's always 90 degrees or hotter with high humidity
• Orioles: they move their left field fence in or out depending on how many right handed bats they have in the lineup in any given year

We need a total and complete shutdown of our AL East rivals' park dimensions until we can figure out what the hell is going on

Comical, he was beat and fought it off to that cheese HR, lol... I was watching it live and was like that's gone??? It's a foul ball in 29 other parks.
