A .186 hitter with little power? Then his 2020 season--when he posted a .905 OPS, better than anyone on this year's roster--was just a mirage? So that's how you characterize it?

Why? Because he is a veteran with a track record. And we emptied the bank ( young unnamed players ) to get him. Stanton is the worlds worst trade ever made. So he says.<br /><br />Johnathon (?) Davis is a mystery to me. If he hits .127 we'll be lucky. What Boone does with players is the reason we are mediocre.<br /><br /> He played Odor instead of Wade yesterday, so we could have more poor defense and ODOR<br /> could K with two out and the bases loaded. <br /><br />We fans knew, when he comes to the plate, that he is going to do that. <br /><br />Unwatchable.<br />Alphonsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294726065596642068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-72658421195113437812021-08-11T13:14:45.279-04:002021-08-11T13:14:45.279-04:00It's a great idea Carl.

How about we do this: Bet still stands between us but since I'm not a big beer drinker and I can get as much free Sam Adams/Dogfish products as I want, I have a proposal. <br /><br />This would get the bloggers involved. Additionally to our bet, I will include a case of any Sam Adams/Dogfish product (where available). That includes Truly Seltzer and their new cocktail line. Those cocktails are actually pretty tasty.<br /><br />There are 49 games left. Everyone can post their guess as to how many wins the Yankees will secure. The closest to the actual win total gets the case of beer (from either you or I) and the additional case of product. All entries by Friday evening.<br /><br />All I ask is that someone keep score. Perhaps el Duque as he has kept score in the past.<br />Sound good?Carl J.

We took three out of four from the Mariners--good--but didn't get the sweep over the Orioles and now the Royals--bad.<br /><br />Losing Cole and Monty hurt. Losing German hurt. Losing Gio hurt. Losing Rizzo hurt. Using Davis instead of Allen hurts. Losing Torres hurt. He was hitting again, so naturally he gets ILed.<br /><br />The bullpen is overworked, the scrubs are overmatched, and Davis is pathetic. Using him when we could have Allen in center may be the defining move of the season, though. That's unconscionable. A move that very obviously shows how much winning really means to this organization versus their bureaucratic bullshit.<br /><br />Voit is better than Gittens, but that's about it. Nestor is running out of gas. Do we still have the best record in baseball since early July? Maybe. But all of the personnel losses hit us when we needed them least. Throw in the fact that Boone is not a major league manager and complications ensue.<br /><br />How fast guys come back and how quickly they play at their best, if ever, will decide everything.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876016557456927299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-87394465477229151862021-08-11T08:54:07.028-04:002021-08-11T08:54:07.028-04:00el due, Don't worry, soon Trey Amburgey will b...el due, Don't worry, soon Trey Amburgey will be back. <br />And don't forget that Hicks IS DOING REAL WELL.<br /><br />And Ellsbury has resumed baseball activities.<br /><br />oh ye of little faith<br />Buck Up.<br /><br />The Intuitive ArchangelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
