It‘s a fastball, Ozzie squares it up, and hits a harmless fly ball to medium depth center. This is what is looks like when a hitter ranks in the 8th percentile in EV, hard hit% and bat speed

Riley is pretty much useless in big spots

Thanks ump

Ok then. I regret coming to his defense by alleging him to be a simple psychedelics user. OTOH...maybe he was just looking for an extra kick in the bedroom?

Apparently, MLB bans quite a few recreational drugs. Maybe he was taking recreational MDMA or something like that, and didn't even realize it was banned? Doesn't have to be PED.

This team has a very wide performance margin they way it is currently constructed. They simply don't have the resources to acquire a roster full of "sure things". If all (most) of the uncertainties break our way, this team can still challenge 100 wins. That means: Acuna and Strider coming back...

I'm looking forward to a fun season, even if the title hopes are very slim. Last year sucked not so much because they dropped out in the first playoff round, but because of all the injuries througout the season and underperforming offense. If we get a glimpse of the 2023 offense, with continued...

Can't take a worse beating than his Junior on Sunday.

It all started so well when AA managed to get rid of Soler right off the bat. Since then, it's been a disappointing off-season. Maybe they are punting this year (in a sense), and gearing for a run at another ring in 2026 with a fully healed Acuna and Strider.

Sure, if that means he'd have won all those championships during the late 90s, and contributed meaningfully, Andruw may be in the Hall already. But all else being equal, that's just typical NY resentment. He'd also be in had the 2000 or 2005 versions showed up more consistently. He'd be in had...

This is a lukewarm stove at best

Good for Freddie. I feel no animosity towards him. Feels like he's hit the same pitch three times - Yankees might want to rethink their strategy if they wanna have a prayer in this series.

First WS appearance for them since 2009. If they have such a big advantage, they sure have done a $hit job capitalizing on it.

Of course they don't say that they intend to trade them. That's negotiating 101: Act from a position of strength, even if it's just perceived.

Great. Let's give the guy a job!
