This just happened! For all of the nuns at St. Dennis Elementary who said I wouldn’t amount to anything—check me out

Couldn’t you just cut Ibanez or demote Maton? Neither would be missed. I do think the OF will be Greene, Meadows and Carpenter most of the time. Baddoo will likely see his playing time decline in the process. You don’t call up Parker to sit. So, does Greene move to LF? The right move, but he might not be a fan. Should keep him healthier, though.

I think the Carpenter is bad at defense stuff is overblown. Many defensive metrics rank him as decent. Yes, he's a had a few muffs at the wall, although today it was the sun more than anything.

I don't know if that's the reason for his offense going down, but I do think multi-position guys can be prone to struggling defensively and perhaps even offensively from having having so much to think about. It's good to have a player like that on the team, but I don't know if like the trend of having multiple multi guys!

I don’t fault him for the dropped ball—looks like he was struggling with the sun out there.

All I watch is the highlights but Carpenter does not seem like Timmy Lupus to me. It's been pointed out that he does not make plays at the wall but other than that he seems adequate enough that he does not have to DH full time.

"The Beer That Saved Ballys' Financial Books" is going to be a best seller.

I don’t know. I think the Yankees will continue to struggle next year as well. 😉

I once wrote that Billy Nowlin was allergic to leather. He was terrible defensively, at any position.

Still one of the all time great quotes in the old forum, someone said that Dean Green could hurt you with his glove, even at DH.

Season series wins against Minnesota and Cleveland!

The highs are very high and the lows are very low. Hopefully he’ll start to see better pitchers as the guys ahead of him continue to improve (and we find an established bat in he offseason to provide protection).

Javier Baez. Love him or hate him, you will be entertained.

Greene at .854. What a slouch.

The emergence of Greene/Tork/Carpenter in the heart of the lineup takes some of the pressure off Javy to be a primary offensive threat...

Loved him here at ASU, elated when we picked him. Just needed a little time and we won’t be disappointed.

Yup, pretty amusing for those that stayed away from the bust bandwagon.

Tork is serving up plates of crow. Come one come all who doubted!

😂

He does a better job hiding his heater than Leyland ever did.

Worse yet, I Googled it and still thought it was real. 🤫🤫 Edit; it looks like they fo sell it in some markets; https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/for-petes-sake/article277602688.html

Julio Rodriguez last four games: 4 for 6 5 for 5 4 for 5 4 for 5 Most hits in four games in modern baseball history.

Have you ever heard of a game named Jenga? Shep is such an out of touch stiff.

You might be right but i dont understand why you would want to get rid of Rogers

My Dad is a 3 tour Vietnam vet that just got out of the hospital from falling down recently. My step mom is 20 years younger for Columbia and try’s really hard to make my Dad happy. This jus happened lol!

That would be my dream guitar at last ill make do with my Epiphone

Yes - I loved Cabrera as a 3b. The problem with that IF was not Cabrera at 3B, it was having Prince in the field with a glove on at all.

That's good enough for me. I always liked Cabrera at 3rd...if you hit it right to him he made all the plays, and he had a cannon. So that plus the 1.000 OPS made him one of the top 3 all-around 3rd basemen in baseball, and gave the Tigers a huge advantage in lineup construction. If Keith could be even a slightly below average defender at 3rd, with an OPS+ of 120, I'm sold. The outfield is too crowded for him, he needs to play 3rd and play it every day.

Just as an aside, I have just noticed that the Atlanta Braves are nearly averaging 6 runs a game. 5.84. You’re welcome.

Nice breakdown of Tork by Maybin.

This is awesome! Well done Orioles and Topps! BTW I wonder how many of the infamous Billy Ripken cards he has?
