OT: MLB Thread 2024

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I think Megill has finally pitched himself out of the organization.

Don't get what Chisholm is supposed to help with. The guy is another nothing burger offensively.

Locker room vibes

 

[mrmovies779]

Is it too late to sell?This is embarrassing...going on 10-24 since that phony hot start

 

[17futurecap]

Stupidity every night.

 

[17futurecap]

Just win a series tomorrow, these games were exhausting.

Great work by Grish to tie it.

From foe to friend. This is a DJ Stewart upgrade. Can run Nimmo in center more too if they want to.

This puts to bed the Conforto rumors.

And I have a suspicion he will block Dominguez this year

Nobody is blocking Dominguez.When he's healthy his bat is getting right back in the line up.They will find a spot for him.

I didn't hear any Conforto rumors. I think this moves Nimmo back to right field.

There was a post article about it the other day.

Nimmo probably gets more CF reps now and McNeil most likely slides to RF more often until Marte comes back.

I'm skeptical about Marte -- even if he returns, I think he's done here after this season.

This one is headed for a L. Not taking 3 of 4 from a hurting Atl team is disappointing. Nimmo is in a funk.

Amazing how they can morph from a hitting machine to hitless wonders so quickly....Mets are the only team I've ever seen where the entire lineup goes cold at the same time.

 

[17futurecap]

That felt like the first complete Yankees win in a month.

 

[Machinehead]

Chisholm went 1-5 but he ran fast the time he got on. That tracks.

 

[17futurecap]

Hard to believe the Yankees scored this much after designating their lead off and clean up hitter from last week.

Just goes to show the quality of Atl's starters and bullpen. They're ripping Minnesota a new one. Nimmo and Alonso look alive, which is encouraging.

 

[JimmyG89]

I don't understand using Butto in a blowout like this. You won't have him for another 2 days now and he should be used in more leverage spots.

I hope the plan isn't to move him back to the rotation. No need to do that move twice in one season.

 

[Crease]

Nice save for Butto.

 

[mrmovies779]

Aaron Judge is an alien.Hes running away with another MVP award

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Nice save for Butto.

How does he get a save in a blow-out? Does pitching last three innings automatically qualify you?

He was being facetious I believe.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

He was being facetious I believe.

As it turns out, I looked it up and I guessed correctly: A pitcher who pitches the last three innings of a game automatically gets a save no matter what the score is.

So he wasn't being facetious. My bad..

I don't ever recall them putting that rule into place. I'll have to check on when it became "a thing".
