Stanton mashed that one and missed a homer by about an inch. They took down that donkey statue but didn't fix the dumbass dimensions.

Only the second team in MLB history with 3 players 6'5" in the lineup (2016 Cubs - Fowler, Heyward and Bryant). So yeah.

runners on 2nd and 3rd no out. RISPFAIL

Obviously a very small sample size but Rizzo is just a winning player and does everything well . Gallo is too Boom or Bust for me , especially on a team that already has too many of those type of guys

Voit has to get healthy and it is clear he hasn't been. He wasn't healthy last year but fought through it and led the league in homers.

If he is healthy, I want him in the lineup over Odor.

Every Cubs fan I know was sad to see him go because he was a great player, great leader and a personality the fans wanted to pay to watch.

Brother in law-big Cubs fan-was pissed that Rizzo got dealt. He figured Bryant &-to a lesser degree-Baez would be traded, but he was bummed about Rizzo. He considered Rizzo the heart & soul of this Cubs era, this generation's Banks, Santos, & Sandberg.
Judge  
RasputinPrime : 7/31/2021 7:31 pm : link
continues to chase the high stuff.

7 runners left on through 4. Brutal situational hitting.

in the off-season.

The luxury tax will have been re-set. Not going to be a lot of teams bidding to give him a long term deal at his age and with his stats down from the peak.

And he's from the area.

I know there are those who think Torres has to be moved from SS and DJL slotted at 1B. I don't like that solution.

Yankees fans want them to go after the big name SS like Story or Seager.

Personally, I think it is a mistake. Handing out another huge contract to big names even though they are under performing or injury prone is not the way I want to go.

Also, you can't solve everything through FA. Yankees have 2 SS who are top 100 and are close to big leagues. Peraza should be ready mid 2022 and Volpe 2023. I know it's a foreign concept to the Yankees the last 3 years but it's ok to Let young players get a shot and by all accounts Volpe is going to be special

and that is why I'm still choked at what we gave up for Gallo.

Park, Duran, Smith and Hauver sure seemed to give the Yankees an awesome long term cluster of talent to push Torres and Gio. Smith, in particular, is someone I think will make this trade tilt differently in a few years.

Volpe and Peraza are tracking well and if they stay healthy, we have to give them a shot at being part of the next core.
what is Gio doing?  
Del Shofner : 7/31/2021 8:07 pm : link
He lets a meatball go by then swings at ball 4.
Gio  
RasputinPrime : 7/31/2021 8:07 pm : link
looking like total dogshit. If he isn't healthy, get him on the 10 day IL.
Keep getting people on  
section125 : 7/31/2021 8:08 pm : link
and still stingy getting runs in...
Gallo  
RasputinPrime : 7/31/2021 8:11 pm : link
has a very quick release and a cannon arm. Strange sidearm motion that doesn't seem to cause the ball to fade.
Torres  
RasputinPrime : 7/31/2021 8:27 pm : link
is just loading up and hacking at pitches out of the zone. Frustrating.
so much

They were always going to be trade bait but using them to go get Gallo was the wrong move IMO. Team needs contact hitters and bullpen help , especially in the playoffs when these Boom or Bust guys get exposed like they have been the last few years and bullpen gets exhausted from overuse and Britton looks terrible all season


Cashman just had a Boner for Gallo and didn't care how he fit
Rizzo I get  
RasputinPrime : 7/31/2021 8:41 pm : link
but Gallo is still really frustrating. Heaney, Holmes and Rodriguez isn't close to good enough to re-tool the staff and pen.

Like Stanton, Gallo really has a goofy swing.
