You can have Trevor Story.

Ready to write him off 10 games into a 972 game contract, are we?

help is on the way

Yankees signed INF Derek Dietrich to a minor league contract.​

Dietrich last appeared in the majors with the Rangers during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. The 32-year-old veteran slugger holds a .245/.335/.428 triple-slash line with 84 round-trippers and seven stolen bases across 2,513 plate appearances in 746 major-league games since 2013. He spent time with the Yankees and Nationals at the Triple-A level last year.

I bet Marlene Dietrich plays a better SS. And she's dead.

Yes. I was not duped by the "guy who rakes at Coors is somehow only meh elsewhere."

 

[navamind]

Yes. I was not duped by the "guy who rakes at Coors is somehow only meh elsewhere."

the Coors effect doesnt mean as much when he's going to Fenway. Fenway is known for raising BABIPs as well.

 

[navamind]

I'd be more alarmed by the fact that we're giving the likes of JBJ and Shaw at bats.

4 runs on 1 hit for Kutter

lmao

 

[bksballer89]

30 runs in 10 games. They are obviously better than that. But if they aren’t hitting HR’s, they have a hard time scoring because nobody on the roster can move.

Pitching looks great, so far, though. Is Cortes this good??

Yes he is

 

[chappee11]

Yes. I was not duped by the "guy who rakes at Coors is somehow only meh elsewhere."

He’ll be fine. He can hit and he plays great defense, too. He signed late, then his wife had a baby and then he had the flu. He basically is still in week 2-3 of Spring Training.

The Coors Field thing is overrated anyway. And it’s not like Fenway is some purgatory for hitters, either.

Now JBJ on the other hand...

 

[cerealboi]

Yes he is

Doesn't the p0rn 'stache violate the Yankees no facial hair rule? Think he needs to be unconditionally released.. . .

Real discussion needs to be had on that facial hair rule bs. It is 2022....time to get rid of it.

I didn't even recognize odor yesterday because he grew his beard back while the yanks had him looking like a 10 yr old boy

Be careful, you'll have Pedroia's brother racing to Baltimore.......too soon?

The back of the baseball card I have of her says she was good at stopping men short.

2010 called and wants that joke back!

I think it’s even older than that! Steel has patiently kept that one the shelf for a looong time. That might be a relic from the CBS days.

I think he got caught in 2009

Let the DHs begin

Pitch clock shaving 20 minutes off minors games

The implementation of a strict pitch clock in the minor leagues has shaved 20 minutes off game times while not having a demonstrable effect on scoring, setting the stage for Major League Baseball to implement a clock in 2023.
