May 20, 20241 yr Does Xander have the worst contract in baseball now? 9/$229M left for a 31-year old 2B/DH that ain't hitting at all currently.

Machado has 9/$316M left and turns 32 in July and ain't hitting much better. But the entire baseball media was all in on SD going for it. Knocking the Dodgers out of the playoffs that one time flies forever I guess. I would not have bet on Profar being by far their best hitter this year.

If Soto was to leave this lineup for any appreciable amount of time they would be in a world of hurt as he is the player most responsible for the Yanks returning to being good again. Perhaps you are intentionally glossing over the potential injury issues that can come up for the Yanks with Judge and Stanton. Beating up on bad teams is how you build winning records so mission accomplished from the Phillies so far. I think you’re glossing over Bryce Harper’s injury history. The Yankees were winning even while getting less than nothing from Judge & Stanton earlier this year. And we haven’t had Cole or Dominguez at all yet. Your take is simply terrible.

May 20, 20241 yr You have zero ability to have any objectivity. It’s one of the reasons you miss so badly on almost every single prediction you make in all sports. The Yankees would be better served if you picked them to finish dead last every year.

Major League / Bingo Long Traveling All Stars and Motor Kings / Fever Pitch / Field of Dreams I have come to accept that some people don't like Field of Dreams (because they were born without a soul). But having Field of Dreams and Fever Pitch tied just makes no sense to me. 1. Field of Dreams 2. Bull Durham 3. League of their Own 4. Sandlot 5. Moneyball Most overrated: 1. Major League 2. Natural 3. Eight Men Out

May 22, 20241 yr normally a double in this situation walks off the game, but when you hit the ball 150 mph they’re able to get it back in before your runner can even consider it. Edited May 22, 20241 yr by definitely not derka
