That's the first good throw I've seen from Bautista since the injury. Certainly a good sign.

He came off firing, i was surprised!

 

[Swervin81]

They took him to see Jeter, and Derek looked him in the eye and said, in a calming voice "Michael, it's gonna be OK. You'll make your next start."


and lo, the holy Jeter doth spake, yea it came to pass.

So the Yankess pinstripe... emotion or whatever the hell Buck keeps talkking about whenever we face the Yanks is really just... Jeter?

 

[Longshot]

Let's hope it really is a new-look bullpen.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Estrada only gives up 2 hits through 6 and 2/3 innings. Very nice start.

 

[Canada4Gold]

It's too bad we didn't get Lowe from an NL team. His stats would say 27.00 ERA now

 

[Stats01]

Thank god we picked up revere and dropped valencia. Great move.

You say that now, but come playoff time, Revere eats Valencia's lunch when it comes to his value defensively.

It's actually essence of jeter. They copy his dna and turn it into an easy to use spray which is applied every game.

I hate that they separate the stats for players traded between league. I don't understand why. Just give the totals.

Jeter is that magic and mysticism distilled into perfect human form.


Also I remember when "Yankee Pinstripe Emotion" was a thing around here. I should look up those old posts

I was at that game. 4 hits were bloop/seeing eye singles that Goins would have gotten if Tulo was playing short

Let's hope Mr. Automatic out doesn't kill too many more rallies. Can't have such a black hole that teams would rather put a person in scoring position so they can pitch to him.

 

[Canada4Gold]

that's fair, right on the damn line

 

[TootooTrain]

That's a tough tough call.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Just foul IMO.

 

[Longshot]

Okay, I thought they couldn't challenge fair/foul?

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Of course the Twins would have a reliever with a 5.0 K/9.

 

[Eyedea]

Looks like it caught part of the line, but the angle of the cam is weird too.

 

[Canada4Gold]

nope, that's foul, nvm

 

[Swervin81]

Yeah, that's foul.

 

[TF97]

Looks foul

 

[KarmaPolice]

Wow, that is SOOOO close.
But no dice.

 

[Canada4Gold]

there's no way they're overturning it, even if it was fair, there's no clear evidence. Whoever told Hale to challenge is an idiot

 

[TorMapleJays]

Donaldson has to be the MVP Trout season is closed!!

 

[Epictetus]

Okay, I thought they couldn't challenge fair/foul?

You can't challenge infield fair/foul.

I still think think it's ridiculous you can delay the game to conduct your own independent review before challenging.

Maybe, but those other 4 guys might be top 4 in the league. Machado is an awesome player, but he doesn't belong in the same tier as those other 4 guys. The top tier being the top maybe 5 guys in the league, Machado is in the 2nd tier.

Machado has already had a 6 WAR season and now a 5 WAR season so far. He's also finally broken out offensively to match his elite defense. If the others are expected to get better, Machado should also since he's 23. You can also make the case he'd make a fine SS with his athleticism. Was a SS before playing in the bigs.

Trout, Harper, Machado, Correa, Fernandez for me.

 

[TootooTrain]

Bautista is popping up alot of balls he'd normally crush. Right in his wheelhouse.

Hey, a base hit is a base hit.
