  1. Say, does anyone know whether the Yankees are playing today? Has Aaron Hicks come up to bat yet?
  2. Next time clip a Bic pen to his lapel, so he'll think you're using up to date sound equipment.
  3. You walk the Elephant, and pitch to the Giraffe. Geez, that's an old one.
  4. Mauer, lol. The A's have no pitching.
  5. ... if every reliever was Duffey.
  6. "Yeah, well, that's just, opinion, your like, man"
  7. "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, try baffling them." -- W. C. Fields * more or less
  8. Hank. Aaron Hank. That has a ring to it.
  9. He can't pick the name of the 2017 AL MVP. Trademarks and so forth. He'll have to choose something else.
  10. Of course not. This is a game thread.
  11. Last Yankees MVP - ARod, 2007 Last BoSox MVP: Dustin Pedroia, 2008 Last Twins MVP - Joe Mauer, 2009 Fun With Numbers, or sumpin like dat dere.
  12. He still has a long way to go to prove himself as a rightfielder, as well.
  13. What else would a scout have to go on? You want him to be objective, don't you?
  14. We don't want him ruining our bottom-of-the-order rallies?
  15. Hm, I am sensing a slight minuscule subtle minor minor minor connection between these two posts.
  16. Don't look now, but in his last 6 games he's slashing .368/.368/.684.
  17. On this day one year ago, Dozier was hitting 184 with 3 HR. So, no, I don't want to imagine. / just doing my part...
  18. Jorge bounced back somewhat from his previous debacle and earned the decision in a 5-2 win over the hard-hitting Jackson Generals. Jackson managed to rack up 7 hits plus 3 walks in Jorge's 6 innings, but could break through for solitary runs only, namely solo home runs in the 3rd and 6th innings. Homers aren't especially good news, and another disappointing note is that Jorge struck out only 2 of the 26 batters he faced. Still, he battled through and limited the damage and got the win. Many other pitchers so far this season have had worse results against this team. The game lowered his season ERA to 3.71.
  19. He's the kind of hitter you don't give up on, IMO, until he's had absolutely every opportunity. The ability to really punish a pitch when it's where and how you want it isn't there for just everybody. I remember at Spring Training a couple of years ago, I arrived at the back field to see someone power a ball over the right field fence. "That's Murphy, right?", I asked one of the young men in a Twins uniform on the aluminum bleachers, to confirm what I thought without a roster sheet in hand. "Yeah. He can hit," the guy said in genuine admiration. The players know. That doesn't guarantee success of course; there are a lot of Max Murphys out there, and most still don't make it. Age 24 in high-A isn't good, but still they should stick with him.
  20. You would not have misjudged him.
  21. If you liked that then click this. Click again to enlarge for glorious detail, if you just can't get enough. / sorry, ChiTown - this is Art / / waiting for Chief to say it doesn't look like any Art he's ever met
