Re: 4/23 - 5/6 Game Discussion Thread
A little standings observations in the early goings.
AL Central so far looks to be weakest division with only two teams at or above .500 and two teams below .300
NL Central and AL West the most competitive and toughest so far. Both with 4 teams at or above .500
AL East is clear cut feast or famine.
NL East is close enough for everyone not in Miami to be positive.
NL West is a nice bell curve. Two above, one at, and two below .500
Phillies being my biggest surprise team so far. They've got talent incoming but at this rate they are a year ahead of projections.Oakland Athletics San Jose Sharks

Excited to see my Yanks on ESPN tonight. I hope Torres gets a hit/has a good game. Tanaka needs to get it going, too.
Also, via ESPN:
"If 23-year-old Miguel Andújar has an extra-base hit in his next game, he'll be entering some rarified Yankees air. He's had an extra-base hit now in six straight games. According to Elias, the only Yankees with longer such streaks before their 24th birthdays were Mickey Mantle (seven games in May 1955) and Joe DiMaggio (seven in June 1937). Andújar will turn 24 next March."Ravens----Yankees----Comic Book JunkieComment

Fun stat: Didi Gregorius leads the AL in slugging percentage.
Good AB from Stanton is followed by a 2-run double from Sanchez.
Andujar HR on the first pitch he sees! Wow!Last edited by notsobabybombers; 04-23-2018, 07:53 PM.Ravens----Yankees----Comic Book JunkieComment

At least the Braves bullpen is consistent. Keep walking them...
Fun fact. Jaime Barria threw more strikes to 1 batter than Sam Freeman has thrown in 21 pitches to 5 batters.Comment

"It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Sam Freeman needs to keep walking through the dugout, to the airport, and to wherever the AAA team is playing right now.
A major league reliever shouldn't have this stat line over his last 5 appearances

Re: 4/23 - 5/6 Game Discussion Thread
I hate hate hate our bullpen so much. We are finally a decent team and this pile of AAA rejects is just a dumpster fire. I came into this series thinking I would be disappointed if we don’t take 2-3...off to a great start.
