    This expectation of Mahle/Maeda/Gray leading the rotatation followed by Ryan is surely a hope that should not be plan A. Ryan is there, but two of the other three are total questions, and Paddack is too. I think Mahle will undergo TOS surgery, and we may not see him at all. If he does come back this year, he will see the same results as the last two starts. Sad, but that is my prediction. I think the trade will prove a total bust and Mahle was damaged as he was acquired. Like Paddack, the FO had decided he was the middle of the road pitcher that had spin rates they liked as is their formula, and did the deal even though he was in question as they did the deal. The desperate position the team was in beause of a lack of supplying quality pitching in the off season even though it was clear that was the most urgent need. Both of Mahle and Paddack. History was known, and desregarded or determined OK for the future, even if they were lost for a year and couldn't help now as was the immediate need. Mahle's case is the most concerning, as he says he feels fine, but cannot perform. To pencil him in at all is nuts. He should only be considered depth at this point, and in any decisions to create a starting staff for 2023. We will prove to be fleeced once again. Just a prediction. I hope they all both become of value, because so far........ total bust, and we needed them now, Madea coming back from TJ..... also in question but more expected.

    50-day IL list? Is this a new secret list?

    Exactly what I always thought he was and will be. I think next year will be better, and more consistent. I think he will find an out pitch. Many fans were/are so desperate for an ace, that whoever seems like the best we have, even if they are really a #3, (like Maeda, and his hot 6 weeks, too), that they want to assign that to our best at the time. Nope. Not me. Aces need no apologists and creative positioning. They slap you in the face with greatness.

    Bring back the pen stripes!

    I knew it all game. No problem. Still above .500 since April 25. Even with Baldelli managing.

    I would but I cannot lie.

    Great trades. Lopez and Fulmer to blow the game. All Lopez does is whine and suck. Fulmer doesn't whine, but still sucks. Maybe he redeems himself tonight.....

    Is Caleb Hamilton that fast anyway. Such mismanagement to not have Billy Hamilton here. l

    Yankee fans must think Correa looks like Jeter.

    Gray up to 66 pitches. Better pull him........ he's into the third time through the order.......
  11. h2oface
    Ha! Even Perkins is saying it now. "It's all out there in front of them." The shot game. Have to take a shot whenever someone says that, or a similar variation of it!

    That ump is blind.

    And Celestino doesn't get to third when he should, could have had runners on second and third, and then gets doubled off. Day after day of poor decisions and baserunning.

    Gordon is 26 years old and still can't decide to wear his pants on his ankles or just below the knee or just above the knee. On the ankles, today. Just what is the Hamilton stradegy, now? Use him up before you need the speed late in the game?

    So what if Judge was coming up! Varland struck him out and Judge hit a homer.... off the rookie, too, like 54 other homers off someone. 80 pitches and you bring in Jax to ruin the debut. May as well let him ruin it, or really pitch in the Big Leagues. 80 pitches. Had just given up only his 3rd hit of the game to the lead off batter in the 6th, in the 6th! and followed that up with his 7th K on a swing and a miss - 2 swings and misses, a called strike and a foul. 80 pitches. And you pull him. Still crusing, and you pull him. 80 pitches. Who is afraid? Not the rookie. He is ready. Baldelli is so desperate right now. The desperation is right in front of him. 80 pitches and you pull the new guy, too. Ahead 3-1 in his debut, and cruising..... and you are afraid of Judge, who he has already struck out 149 times this season and once to Varland, and he can only tie the game with homer, a game Varland has basically owned, and sit him down. Damn. He got to watch Jax tank his game. I bet that was a lesson.

    Dodger Stadium is endless and LOUD! I mean, I have never witnessed anything like it at a baseball game. If he is batting, it starts as he walks to the plate, and ebs and flows as the pitch comes..... but never stops and gets super loud. Only the Twins and Astros fans seem to have a selective memory.

    It must have been Tom Kelly if it was a "wise man".

    I know what we are doing here. We are treading water, waiting for Randy Dobnak to come back and be the anchor of the staff with his long term contract. I don't have to say a thing. The previous commentors said what was needed. Great posts all. Bravo.
  19. h2oface
    Nobody wants it.

    Hamilton getting the most out of a rare at bat with one swing and out.
  21. h2oface
    Aw come on! We are still in second and percentage points ahead of Chicago with a loss. Let's see. win 4 lose 6 win 5 lose 3 win 1 lose 3 and 4 more games before the Royals. It is right in front of us.
  22. h2oface
    There goes our run differential. Damn.
  23. h2oface
    Ya but...... but..... where would we be without him? Like KC, that's where. He is soooooooooo valuable, and that is why we pay him! And want him back! What is that river in Egypt called, again?
  24. h2oface
    In Pagan's defense, two of the 3 balls could have very well been perfectly placed edge of zone strikes just barely touching the zone by the robot.
  25. h2oface
    I can't see even an ounce of Twin left in Hicks. Totally absorbed as a Yankee now.
