    Stripling's LA numbers are good, but man everything about his stuff looks ordinary.

    Yeah if you have access to the cable channel that has exclusive rights to the games, then you'll be blacked out. Anyone who lives in Canada likely has access to get whatever channel Rogers is airing the games on, so that's why they black the games out. They want fans to watch the games on those platforms, while MLBTV is used for out of market games. I don't think it's a MLB decision either. I believe it is up to the teams and their deals with their regional sports networks. If they made everything available on MLBTV and didn't have cable deals, then the price for MLBTV would have to be astronomical to come close to being profitable for them.

    Semien up to a 122 wRC+ now.

    The fact that this team is facing a righty and I don't have to see Panik's name in the lineup is something I am not going to underappreciate. Let's celebrate these days while they are here.

    Lindor will bounce back but he was never an elite hitter for his career. A very good one but not elite. That contract will age poorly, especially once his defense declines. I expect him to turn things around this season, though.

    Charles was playing Springer on one leg for a few days, and let Giles blow his arm out as he sat in the dugout watching. Panik will DH today, even if he has to limp to the plate.

    Yeah I don't understand why they'd want to rush him when he's not healthy enough to play the field. Given the nature of his injuries, it was a recipe for disaster. Even if he had to miss 2-3 months, it is what it is. Just make sure that when he comes back, he's healthy. Now it's back to waiting, and unfortunately there's no guarantee they won't rush him again.

    Yankee fans are giving it to the Astros, especially Altuve.

    This is the answer because they start Panik against RHP and Espinal against LHP despite Panik not being able to hit righties at all in the last 3-4 seasons. Really wish they signed Brad Miller. A LH bat who can actually hit and likely isn't any worse at 3B than Panik is. Hell, even if he is, the bat would at least make up for it.

    Panik also has the platoon advantage with his robust 77 wRC+ against RHP since the start of 2018. When you combine that type of pop with the clearly inferior defense at third, and he's just too good to have sitting on the bench.

    Gurriel's bat coming around in the past week (187 wRC+ in last 6 games), so makes sense to bat him 8th behind the most professional hitter in the sport.
  12. glory
    Braves did the Jays a solid there by walking a slumping Biggio to get to Grichuk.
  13. glory
    Meaning? Bergen and Milone shouldn’t be on big league rosters. Castro and Pampayas were both SPs in the minors and at least have decent stuff. Kay is out there (unless he’s hurt too). Even with injuries this was a disappointing tandem to use.
  14. glory
    Wow I thought Thornton was following Bergen. Can’t believe a big league team went with Bergen followed by Milone.
  15. glory
    Thankfully Panik's bat is elite enough to compensate for the bad defensive lineup.
  16. glory
    I want to be able to look at a lineup and not dread Joe Panik's name being on it. If Semien needs a day off, then start Espinal at 3B and Biggio at 2B. I can't blame Buntoyo here because he's in over his head and a minor league manager will love s***** big league vetrins. Atkins needs to alpha up and drop Panik from the roster.
  17. glory
    Kirk better be the starting C from now on. Jansen is fine as a backup, but time to let the king sit on the throne.
  18. glory
    Vladdy might have broken out.
  19. glory
    Great throw by Gurriel.
  20. glory
    Glasnow clearly not on his A game, but he's not bad enough to give up a hit to Jansen.
  21. glory
    This is why you put Panik in the lineup against an ace.
  22. glory
    Wow Semien crushed that.
  23. glory
    "Wanted Panik in the lineup vs Glasnow". You know Montoyo is taking this series seriously when Panik is in there. No longer messing around.

    SRF tonight for the Mets: 3 IP 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K, 39 Pit/28 strikes

    If it's streaming numbers, then I'd imagine it means more younger people since older people are probably more likely to watch on cable. Also interesting is that ESPN Sunday Night Baseball is up significantly from last season as well, in all the key demographics (so it's not just old people). Pandemic ratings were down for every sport, so it's possible this is just a correction to the mean, but the streaming numbers are definitely a sign that more people are interested in watching baseball. I have no idea what that is attributed to, but one thing that MLB has greatly improved on is their footage going viral. When something happens in a game, it's instantly on Twitter now. Previously MLB was very protective of their footage so it was harder to find baseball content on any social media platforms, but I'm guessing someone in the sport smartened up and realized that they can use Twitter, YouTube, etc, to their advantage. They are likely reaching more people now and maybe that has helped create more interest in the sport. If more people are watching Three True Outcomes baseball, then that's a good sign for once they start implementing some rule changes to create more action.
