June 1, 20196 yr Looking forward to seeing the pitching match-up tonight between German and Porcello. Porcello has owned the Yanks over his last 8 starts.
June 2, 20196 yr This looks like a bullpen game for both teams thus far. Porcello looks like the Detroit version tonight. German looks like a hot mess as well. Edited June 2, 20196 yr by UpperWestside

AL leader in batting average with a 1.000 OPS before today. And Rizzo has been en fuego lately.
June 2, 20196 yr Steve Garvey getting inducted into the Dodgers inaugural “Legends of Dodger Baseball” class. The Dodgers only retire HOF numbers. I think Garvey should be in it. He was far and away my favorite player as a kid. Kimmel is inducting him. The most enduring infield is there to be participate. Lopes, Russell, and Cey. That infield WAS my childhood. Along with Yeager behind the plate. He is one of those players that didn’t do anything spectacularly, but did everything great. Holds the NL record for consecutive games played. .294 career BA, .314 career playoff BA, 10 time All-Star. Met him a couple of years ago and I was like a schoolgirl. He looks like he’s about 2 years older than me, but he’s 70. LOTS of Dodger haters on here, and that’s OK because I hate the Yankees with a passion, but respect the organization. But Garvey is legit. I hope others agree.

The roll call to begin every game is cool and the no way in hell we do the wave announcement because this isn't CITI Field is funny. Gardner has the funniest response to his roll call. The trash talk is incredible most of the time. Game 4 against Cleveland in 2017 was wild. The things said to Jay Bruce were so bad he would not repeat it after the game. He had 8 innings of continual Jay Bruce sucks chants (among many other things) that he actually acknowledged. You could hear it on TV from what I read. Love to go to another ballpark that does that.

June 2, 20196 yr Im going there this month and specifically looked up where these fuckers sit so that i can be as far away from them as possible

June 2, 20196 yr I know it’s nothing compared to the old stadium but I can still appreciate the liveliness of the fans there. I’m lucky enough to have seen 1 game at the old stadium & 3 at the new one, so I’m pretty sure I know what I’m talking about.

June 2, 20196 yr Author The AL West now has Springer, Correa, & Gallo IL’d. Those are some names & #s.
June 2, 20196 yr I’ve been watching a lot of twins games lately because of fantasy baseball. Man, when they get Nelson Cruz back and they go back to putting Marwin Gonzalez in a bench role giving guys days off here and there, they might have the best lineup in baseball 1-9. Pitching is meh (both starting and bullpen) but that lineup is stacked. I say that assuming Polanco, and Rosario keep it up, and I don’t see any reason they wouldn’t. Rosario isn’t hitting 40 hrs like he’s on pace to, but he had a solid year last year and he’s clearly a good hitter. Astros and Yankees lineup are more proven when healthy (at least the big boppers), but if anything Minnesota’s lineup is every bit as good.
June 2, 20196 yr Rosario could hit 40. We're seeing homers go up like crazy with the launch angle revolution, and i'm sure we'll be seeing all sorts of guys hitting 30, 35, 40+ HR for the first time in their careers.

June 3, 20196 yr Clint Frazier's 7th inning in right was LOL worthy. His first miscue was something you expect to see in little league. The guy can hit but he is horrific at taking good routes to the ball. Edited June 3, 20196 yr by UpperWestside

June 3, 20196 yr Author This was exactly two days ago... Quote Friday's outfield work is one example of how Judge is impacting the team outside of game action. Combining his work with Frazier's defensive work has let Judge advise Frazier on how to handle right field at Yankee Stadium, where Judge has been a more than capable defender. "I'm liking what I'm seeing out there so far," Judge said. "We're talking back and forth. I've been out there a little bit in right field; I've played that wall a little bit. I just give him some tips on that, tips on his reads. Sometimes the media can be a tough thing -- you make a couple of errors and everybody hops on you and says you've got bad defense. But really, his first initial reads are never bad, and that's what I try to preach to him: ‘Hey man, trust your instincts, you're an athlete.'" Boone was happy to see Judge and Frazier working together and said Frazier is getting better. "To Frazier's credit, he's worked really hard," Boone said. "Even though he's had some mistakes out there, and some drops and whatnot, some of the things we're seeing with him are really encouraging. From a first step, and just becoming a better overall outfielder, we feel he's made a lot of strides in that area."

June 3, 20196 yr Draft starts tonight. Will be dominated by Arizona who has 7 of the 1st 75 picks. The catcher out of Oregon State is expected to be taken 1st by Baltimore. Some are calling him the best prospect since Harper.
June 3, 20196 yr his numbers are ridiculous, and the other day he got intentionally walked with the bases loaded, which was the right move with him at the plate. kid can mash.
