Mays was sort of the anti-Ruth, always unhappy, always complaining. Had a really tough upbringing. A jackleg preacher for a father who left the family, I think. Carl Mays supposedly developed his pitching arm by actually killing squirrels with rocks, to get food for the family supper table.
Oy.
He also used to complain that his killing of Ray Chapman kept him out of the HOF. Which might be the case. But still...
I guess that must be the old League Park in Cleveland, existing in one form or another from 1891-1946. Not exactly inspiring, but still beat "The Mistake by the Lake."
The decent start by Gary Sanchez with the Mets had me worried for a moment. Then, last night, he went 0-3 with a strikeout, and had a passed ball and a missed foul pop-up in the field.
More proof that the Yankees don't have a clue about analytics: Cortes got hammered the third time through the lineup. Kevin Cash et al. almost never allow a pitcher to get beyond the second time through. This is what's known as evidence-based decision-making vs. seat-of-the-pants stupidity. Sure, you can cite exceptions--but the overwhelming evidence points to getting your guy out of there after two times through. This kind of data was not available to previous generations of managers, but it is now. The smart ones pay attention and excel on one third the payroll of the Yankees.
Look on the bright side. Our AAA team beat the Sox AAA in a dismembering. Peraza is batting.343. with an OPS north of .900, Florial is batting .318. France is batting .375. Chappy is back over .250 after starting the season 0-29. Big LRP Krook has an ERA of 1.04.
Any ,or all, soon to be traded for Lance Lynn or this years model.

Phew.
Here we go go
Is this the game thread, or has everyone gone to sleep early again?
Asking for a friend. I heard Gleyber Cano got a big hit?
Jake Bauers is only hitting .186!? C'mon Jake! Keep trying your best! We're all rooting for you, and you're a good kid, gosh darn it!
Unwavering positivity!!
I'm here Rufus T.!
Unwavering positivity!!

Ya think John is on the couch yelling …. IT’S GLEYBER DAY! HE WENT BACK TO BACK AND BELLY TO BELLY!
Or is he doing it from a hospital bed?
Gleyber is hot.
Trade him tomorrow!
IT'S GLEYBER DAY AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!
AA,
Iced tea right now. Cabernet earlier with dinner.
Beau,
We are all concerned.
All,
Gleyber is back to toilet bowl killer. Time to trade him before they play someone else.
OIL ME UP AMD CALL ME SLIPPERY!!
UNWAVERING POSITIVITY!!
Winnie,
What you choose to do in the privacy of your own jello pit is your own business.
I expect to see a website link by the end of the game.
You go, Nestor! You have a heroic name! N*sty!
Unwavering positivity!!
They need Nestor to go deep in this game…
Well done Nestor! You're ERA is now under 5! You are going in the right direction! Build on that!
Here's hoping for another foul ricochet.
Damn went off the fair pole…
o fork
Better pour something stronger than that ice tea, roofy
This is not what you want…
WTF?
Just need five this inning to keep me awake
Call the game!!!
Maybe I was premature about that…
Why was Cordero left in the game until he gave up four runs when he got only one out? What the hell?
Eight runs in one inning? Wtf?
JM - it is as it was and remains as it is and it can never be undone
