maqroll Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 I love it. He acts like he's such a badass, but the little second baseman almost knocked him out, lol. **** him and the Blue Jays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 And up steps Jackie Bradley Jr. as the next Fred Lynn...our offense is on fire right now, really loving this team with Shaw at 3B and Panda nowhere near a baseball bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I'm assuming that's in reference to something he's achieved, rather than his hitting. He really can't hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really can't hit. .338 AVG. 7HR .997 OPS. A .997 OPS against major league pitching in mid May means you can **** hit the ball. He's a pro whose hard work is paying off. I love it!

maqroll Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Jake Arrieta was a journeyman two years ago, last year he won the Cy Young. Fortunes in baseball can turn on a dime, I've seen it happen many times. Bradley won't keep this torrid pace up, but the way he's swinging the bat suggests he's adjusted his mechanics at the plate and clearly has more confidence. If he finishes the season hitting .280 with 20 HR's, he'll have done great. He's here for his defense, anyway, so good offensive production from him is just a bonus.

I can't for the life of me think of a single, current Yankee for whom that is true. That probably tells you something about these current Yankees. Dat bullpen, though...

maqroll Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 If Papi juiced, we'd have seen his body look like someone on HGH. But he's always been a hefty guy, it's not like he's a muscleman. He's just a big flabby dude with a quick as lightning swing and a great eye. Greatest DH in history, **** the haters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 We're relying a bit too much on the long ball this season, which isn't exactly sustainable in the stadium we play in. Thank God we re-signed Yo, having a fantastic start to the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 11 K's for Thor today. Harvey meanwhile got booed off the field his last start. Amazing collapse in form. I wonder if he's not fully healed, and if some of his efforts to pitch late last season has set him back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 This weirdo Red Sox team keeps hitting. If we can snag a front line SP in July, we'll be in the running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted May 23, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 23, 2016 This has me feeling like it's a traditional Red Sox team. All hitting and will be in great position in July until the August-September swoon to something like 88 wins. I've seen this movie many times before.
