Yeah, the Yankees are certainly playing like a AAAA team at the moment. Ugh.

It's been fun watching Volpe. He looks like he could develop into a Nomar Garciaparra type of player.

They literally just gave him a 4 year extension. Sickening

The Jordan Montgomery trade was also brutal.
An under-the-radar bad trade was young prospect Hayden Wesneski for LOOGY Scott Effross who has since succumbed to Tommy John surgery. The Cubs tweaked a few things with Wesneski's delivery, and he looks capable of being a solid rotation pitcher.
I'd take harrison bader over Montgomery everyday of the week. Are you nuts?

A frontline LH starter for a Brett Gardner/poor man's Jacoby Ellsbury?
Front line starter? Jordan Montgomery?

Even the Umps don't know the disengagement rules. How do they mess this up?
Craig Counsell just a wee upset
The ejection by Counsell was a classic.. Capped off with a "what do you mean you don't give a sh--?"

If the Twins could get any kind of offense going, they could be a very good time. The pitching rotation has been more than advertised, with Ober and Varland stepping right in. (they were 6th and 7th in the pecking order, but could have made some teams opening day rotation). They offense has just been abysmal. It seems like they still think it is 2019 and they are the bomba squad. Let's learn how to play small ball.

With a focus on playing the young guys, the Royals' offense has been upgraded to "occasionally competent!" I've really been enjoying Maikel Garcia, who's flashed some nice throws from 3B and has registered a hit in every game since being called up. Of course, the pitching is such a dumpster fire that none of this matters a whole lot. At least tickets are cheap?

Agree. Garcia looks like the real deal. Love watching that kid play.

I'm kinda high on this Nick Pratto kid. 14th overall pick in 2017, some good power in the minors. Get him and My Cousin Vinnie swinging big pretzel sticks around, what's not to love?
He's been a lot better than Massey. He has been terrible at the plate. Striking out over 1/3 of the time. Ugh
ETA: He has 14 total points on the season in my points league. To put that in perspective.......he has scored 15 pts combined over his last three games to get him into the positive.
ChiefD
Footballguy
Yeah, Massey just isn't hitting right now. Needs to learn to shorten that swing, especially with two strikes.
Also seems to chase a lot both early and with 2 strikes. Bad combination. I am guessing he is pressing and guessing too much

Fairbanks is back Tuesday but losing Ras is tough. They’ll figure out the bullpen they always do.

Manoah is fat. He just gave up 7 walks in 4 innings! He’s been walking every one on the planet this year. He’s also been giving up a ton of hard contact. He no longer has a wipeout pitch. Did I mention he’s fat? Maybe the Royals should trade for him.

I always figured that someone halfway smart could/would hack the radio signal of the transmitters to steal pitches.

As pointed out in the Twitter comments - that would be the Toronto dugout. If they're dumb enough to be doing something that lets him know what pitch is coming, that's on them.
Now, it might be that he's looking at the 1B coach or on-deck hitter, who in turn could be getting something from the Yankee dugout. I'll grant that he seems to be looking at *something* while trying not to be obviously looking at it. Was there a woman in a low-cut top over that way?
They use Pitchcom. Such a dumb controversy
The road dugout is definitely on the 1B side of the field.

There has to be something he was looking at.

He says he was looking at his coaches/players yelling at the umps, after they booted Boone?
He said he was looking at his player who were still chirping after Boone got tossed 2 pitches earlier. He couldve also been looking at fielders moving for each pitch (AKA tip pitching). Regardless, the journeyman pitcher threw an absolute meatball of a slider to the best hitter in baseball. What did they expect would happen?
