Don't worry. Bird will get hurt.
Best option, or most
amusinginteresting option?Supposedly Holland has had hip discomfort since day one and has been trying to pitch through it.
I'm very glad that you had a good time when you were here (and that you reported copiously on the Coors Field experience). Rockies start times (usually 6:40 during the week and 6:10 on Saturday) are great -- the park is convenient enough to get to that you can get there on time after work from pretty much anywhere in the metro area. I don't know what you did for dinner, but there are several decent options in the park (I'm partial to Famous Dave's Ribs) and they'll let you bring in whatever food you want. All around, it's a pretty fan-friendly experience.
Fowler limps off the field, replaced by Bader, he can't put any weight on his right knee.
First thing my gf said watching this game "these uniforms are ugly, it's like watching an old black and white broadcast."
I had a Helton Burger with onion rings, both very nice.
So's your mama, but the bigger the cushion...
1-0 Phillies on brother Maikel's HR.
Nick Johnson v. 2.0
Recently?
Making lots and lots of outs ...
That's entertainment.
Cardinals do have a host of interesting rookies this year, nobody that is going to compete for roy like Dejong last year, but so far they have 9 rookies play this year and Reyes will be the tenth.
Among active players Carpenter is 11th all time.

2nd best record in the NL Phillies.... I still can't believe Milwaukee has the best record in the NL though. I really don't expect that to last, but heck the 4th place Pirates are 5 games over .500... the NL Central has just been beating up the Reds.
BACK TO BACK!!!
- .349 OBP (ONE walk in 63 PA)
- 0 HR, 6 RBI
- 111 OPS+ this year after back-to-back 81s in 2016-17
- .231 (6 for 26) in the last 31 days
- .278 xBA, and .188 in the last 31 days
if that doesn't say "had a fluky April but let's not kid ourselves," I don't know what does
High standards for a utility infielder. There weren't any better choices to create a roster spot, but most teams would be quite satisfied with that production.
It's Howie, whadya want?
Might not be enough ...
you left out
If by some, you mean every position except CF, 1st and C ... sure.
[edit] And of course, he could cover the 1st two defensively as well ...
In my defense my TV sucks.
He's a ####### nibbler, the worst kind of pitcher. Afraid he's going to get killed if he puts the ball over the plate, so he's constantly behind in the count and batters can wait for a 2 and 0 or 3 and 1 creampuff.
Starting pitching was always going to be the Yankees' Achilles heel. No offense can keep covering for pitchers who are constantly forcing them to come from behind or who can't hold leads if their life depended on it.
Matchups for the 3 upcoming Astros - Yankees games:
Monday: Verlander vs. Germán
Tuesday: Morton vs. Sabathia
Wednesday: Keuchel vs Severino
Wednesday looks okay, but Monday and Tuesday are painful even to think about. Where's a nice monsoon when you really can use it?
Roberto Clemente
Ed Delahanty
Josh Gibson
Addie Joss
Ross Youngs
Good start for the Braves today though.
Thank you.
Pivetta immediately begins pitching agressively again, instead of begging the umpire for strikes.
Diaper dandies.
The third strike on J.A. Happ was a gift from the umpire. It was at least two baseball-widths wide of the plate.
EDIT: Fittingly, 1st run scores on bases-loaded walk by Garrett Richards.
EDIT II: Richards out after 70 pitches, only 36 of which were strikes.
EDIT III: Greg Bird RBI HBP, and he doesn't appear to be injured (yet)! 2-0.
EDIT IV: RBI fielders choice by Andujar, 3-0. Only took 90 minutes for 3 innings. No rush, just win.
Stuff is real, and I like it when young pitches can make it through a full first season, even if the results are crappy. I think ey learn a lot in 25 starts of getting knocked around.
It always baffling when that happens.
Betances is an aficionado of that kind of inning.
Didn't Edwin take the man in white to Cleveland?
He homered in a 6-5 Mets win.
Much has happened in the last...... TWO years
meanwhile, after the MGR said Vargas would make his next start, club exec Rizzo says not necessarily. Seth Lugo luming - er, looming?
the event concludes, and this middle-aged colleague starts to yammer to Willie about how he's his biggest fan, etc.
"Go #### yourself!" Willie replies.
my old pal says his favorite moment was the ride home, with the colleague repeatedly moaning, "I can't believe Willie said that to me..."
I laughed
That's just mind boggling stupidity. Once you get the 3 balls in that spot, groove it. Can't put the tying run on in front of Trout. Make him hit the ball.
Jose Altuve's 10-for-10 streak included five singles, three doubles, a triple and a home run. And those hits came off some pretty damn good pitchers.
The tweet includes a picture of words that list Al Toovey's accomplishments in this time.
