    They do not have to announce who the unvaccinated players are. They will not be paid, service time will not accrue. 3 games, no big deal for the paycheck or service time. It might be a big deal for the wins and losses. We all have choices and consequences. It is a team sport. In the interest of the team, all Yankees are vaccinated. Boston will not have all of their players.

    Unfortunately playoffs are in October

    But will it go round in circles or will it fly high like a bird up in the sky

    https://nypost.com/2022/05/21/white-sox-accuse-yankees-josh-donaldson-of-racial-comment/ I remember Anderson calling himself the next Jackie Robinson. I remember because I have disliked Anderson since reading that. I though he was a word that is usually filtered out on many sites. Good luck finding the quote by Anderson. Anderson shouldn’t complain, they are his words. Now wether or not it is a joke could be debatable. Anderson still has done nothing to make himself the next Jackie Robinson. It would not be beyond many people to remind Anderson of that. Every catcher should be asking Anderson if he said that

    Statistics show that even an average base stealer will cost the team more runs than they will gain. When base stealing is left to the more talented at it the catchers throwing people out percentage will go down HR per team is at about 1 per game per team. That is historical average. Runs are at around where they have always been. So either runs are coming via the grand slam, or there is still old fashioned baseball. Except of course, the out to make an out

    Odo lost his start, as did Dobnak. End result wouldn’t have changed Baldelli had Gordon sacrifice the other night. Is that old school enough. The problem with eye tests is the objectivity of the eyes.

    He is OPS is at nearly .800. He warmed up in the month of May, so yes Donaldson

    The Twins reside in neither the AL East nor the NL West. Just like every other team that is not in those divisions, people can claim soft schedule. June is a ways off. The Yankees are a bit of a crapshoot If Judge, Stanton, or Donaldson go down with their annual injury the team is not so frightening

    Every fan is smarter than a baseball manager. Why is that? Every decision that a manager makes that does not work the fan can say they would have never done that.

    Soft tissue injuries are up 19% from 2019, The change for next year is no lock out. Players bear the responsibility in the off season of continuing strength and flexibility training. It would appear that is lacking in many cases

    Neither team paid much for what hey got. That would also be being low. Money and payroll may be important toe the Twins, but I really doubt the Donaldson contract amount hampered the Yankees as all. It was added leverage
  12. old nurse
    It is a buy low scenario for both the Rangers and the Yankees. Many people love to spin trades this way

    It is easier to complain Negativity draws more of a reaction. Negativity fuels politics. People seem to respond more to the negativity. More views are more money. Edit. Forgot to add, but when it comes to trades rather than playing, we screwed the other guys is popular. Of course that involves a lot of negativity of the players dealt by analytical analysis of whatever stat backs the theory

    At this point you probably might want Donaldson. After a sluggish 3 weeks to start the season he has been slugging at an OPS of about .800

    The question is not are they real but can they become better. The division and wild card are obtainable. The question becomes are they able to do winning in the playoffs. That all depends on the growth of Winder, Ryan and Ober. Does Gray return to health or does it nag all year? How does Duran develop as the high leverage pitcher? Are Duffey and Thielbar high leverage pitchers? Is their a fourth high leverage reliever? There are a lot of games left to go with a lot of mediocrity to play. The answer to are they real will not be known

    Walks are the problem, not the hits,If they are not getting hit, the walks don’t matter.
  17. old nurse
    Pagan has allowed a total of 5 hits, that is hardly a time bomb.
  18. old nurse
    43 batters faced, 5 hits allowed. That is not a whole lot to go one. One lucky guess on a slider changes the numbers dramatically. Encouraging start, incomplete on the picture.
  19. old nurse
    Wouldn’t the Orioles be considered a fluff team?
  20. old nurse
    Marlin Rays Royals Brewers and Tigers are the only teams so far that are going to. Be streamed.. I wouldn’t get hopes up to high for other teams. MLB was trying to figure out how they could do it.

    Brandon Lawson was persistent Hopefully he learned from the dozens of pitching coaches he has had and will be more successful in his next career
  23. old nurse
    There is a lot of trade bait in the minors for a pitcher.
  24. old nurse
    Ok, you were correct at this point about the bullpen. Someone who is always pessimistic will be tight about as often as someone who is always optimistic.
  25. old nurse
    As the average speed of pitches goes up so does the stress on the body to produce that level of speed. Tendons are not invincible.
