ProudMary July 28 Share July 28 26 minutes ago, DMK said: Marlins moved him to the outfield just last year, Jazz was a 2B before that for years. I'm aware, but he's never played 3rd (or 1st, for that matter) and those are where the Yankees need help. Gleyber's already been moved. I like 2nd and Short just as they are. I just see this as another boneheaded, desperate Cashman move. The Yankees need to strengthen the bullpen. Also, I hope Clarke Schmidt returns soon. It was a big loss when he was injured. 2 Link to comment
shoregirl July 28 Share July 28 What are the Rays doing? They are only 3.5 out of a playoff spot and are having a fire sale ..Arrozerna, Eflin and now Paredes They are closer to a playoff spot than the Cubs are. I say this with love to my fellow Phillies fans but if the stadium is close to a dispensary some of you should be way more chill. You too Red Sox fans 3 Link to comment

I like 2nd and Short just as they are. Oh, if anything, the only other move Gleyber is making is to the bench. Jazz is probably his replacement for next year, Yankees will be letting Gleyber walk at the end of the year. But most likely, for this year, Jazz is a better bat than Grisham in center.

I'm a lifelong Dodgers' fan, (and I'm old enough to remember winning in '88) and I hope that when JT finally decides to hang it up, the team gives him a one-day contract so he can retire a Dodger. A girl can dream... That said, I'm glad he's still able to play the game he loves. Edited July 31 by Kindred Spirit Forgot the sentimental part. 3 Link to comment

baldryanr August 2 Share August 2 Trout's career is a lot like Ken Griffey Jr's, but in the 90s I remember Griffey being pretty well known, and he's still an icon of the era. Trout's on the road to being instantly forgotten. Oh, and Griffey was a member of the Springfield Nuclear Plant's Softball team. Can't beat that. 1 Link to comment

Magog August 4 Share August 4 (edited) Does anyone know what is the longest losing streak in MLB history? I didn't realized till last night that the Chicago White Sox lost their 19th game in the row. Hopefully, it'll be loss #20 for those losers today. 🤣 😂 Edited August 4 by Magog Link to comment

mojoween August 6 Share August 6 Adnan Virk said Mike Trout “is a 3-time MVP so I guess he is a Hall of Famer?” and that is an excellent question. It feels like if he gets in on the first ballot, it’s going to be on potential. Link to comment
baldryanr August 6 Share August 6 If he's getting in on the first ballot then it'll be because of his statistical peak. Look at his 2012-2019 stats - that's up there with the pantheon level greats. Besides the three MVPs, he finished second 4 times too. Plus this isn't basketball, so the lack of playoff appearances won't be held against him that much. Link to comment
DMK August 6 Share August 6 The longevity might be an issue, though. Trout hasn’t played enough to compile what some believe to be necessary stats. He needs volume. For instance, he does not have 2000 hits. Not even really that close. Link to comment

shoregirl August 8 Share August 8 Pedro Grifol fired Grady Sizemore is the interim White Sox manager. You finally win a game and they get rid of the manager . I don't pay that much attention to the White Sox so I don't know how he was as a manager but it seems to me it's not really his fault that they were so bad. The GM and owners are not really putting a good team on the field. They have a couple very good players (Crochet and Roberts Jr. for example) but their surroundings players are not good and ownership doesn't seem like they care to put a better product on the field. Sizemore seems like a out of no where pick. Though it seems they also fired their bench coach. 3 Link to comment
