BuffaloKyle Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) With the White Sox having so many injuries some players on the team are under orders to not run too hard to first base on a routine ground ball so they don't get injured! 😅 https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34149317/short-handed-chicago-white-sox-understanding-their-legs-important-tell-some-players-slow-running-first-base Edited June 26, 2022 by BuffaloKyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samhexum Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) ‘Holy cow!’: Glendale street corner named after Yankee legend Phil Rizzuto Councilmember Robert Holden, state elected officials and other organizations unveiled a plaque named “Phil ‘Scooter’ Rizzuto Corner” in Rizzuto’s hometown on Sunday. Rizzuto was raised in Glendale. On top of building a legacy on the baseball field, Rizzuto served his country during the Second World War. He missed three seasons while serving in the U.S. Navy, where he was stationed at Norfolk Naval Training Station in 1943 and later led a crew in the Pacific. He contracted malaria while in New Guinea and was sent to Australia to recover at a U.S. Navy hospital. While there he started baseball tournaments for wounded sailors. Later in life, Rizzuto raised millions of dollars for St. Joseph’s School for the Blind through his annual celebrity golf tournament and donated his earnings from commercials and book deals.

Also, great seeing Paul Goldsmith and Nolan Aranado gat six hits between them. Two players who came to St Louis in trades Aranado hit for the cycle for the second time in his career Edited July 2, 2022 by WilliamM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston sure has a good team. Amazing and scary stat: The Astros just played 9 games in a row against the NY teams. When that stretch began, the Mets had the 2nd best record, behind the Yanks. Houston went 7-2 and the only times they trailed in the 9 games were after Aaron Judge's 2 walk-off hits. Cristian Javier followed up his 7 hitless innings with 1 BB & 13 Ks in the combined no-hitter thusly: He retired the first 2 Angels, gave up a HR to Clark Kent Ohtani, then retired the last 19 he faced. 14 total Ks. Last 2 starts: 14 IP, 1H, 1R, 1BB, 27 Ks. When McCullers comes back, Javier's their 4th starter. My powers haven't had many chances to manifest lately, but in a rare start in game 1 of today's twinbill Matt 'Has No Formal Training As A' Carpenter went 3-5 with 2 homers & 4 RBI. My name-of-the-days have spurred him to a .293/.420/.902 slash line with 8 HR in 41 AB. BTW, Joey Gallo may be the worst hitter in MLB right now, but his ABs are still somewhat enjoyable to watch, as long as the Yanks are winning. He's 6'5 with a decent face and the squarest broad shoulders on the team. When he gets into his stance you can see he has muscular thighs. His right side faces the camera and his right nipple is usually poking out beneath his shirt, even in warm weather. When his shirt is clinging to his torso you can see he has some pec definition. Now if he could just get a hit once a week...

BTW, the Cards lost that game in which he hit for the cycle, and they are now tied 5-5 today after their 5 run top of the 1st.

samhexum Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) The Angels have become infinitely less attractive. They have designated Tyler Wade for assignment. He surpassed three years of MLB service time last year, allowing him to qualify for arbitration for the first time. He and the Angels agreed to a salary of $825K, just a bit north of the $700K league minimum. The Angels will have one week to trade him or put him through waivers. Should he clear waivers, he would be eligible to reject an outright assignment and return to free agency, by virtue of having surpassed three years’ service time. However, doing so would mean forfeiting the remainder of his salary, as players need more than five years’ service to reject an assignment while still being guaranteed the money owed to them through their contracts. So they'll likely still have him at AAA. Edited July 3, 2022 by samhexum just for the hell of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samhexum Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) New starting corner outfielder Matt 'I hadn't started in the outfield in 9 years' Carpenter (RF last night, LF tonight) went 3-4 with a double and (of course) a HR tonight. Aaron Hicks is hitting quite well recently. Aaron Judge is not. Methinks God is trying to tell MLB that he/she/they is/are Jewish. The Bosox are the only team with 2 Christians this season (Arroyo, Vasquez). They have had constant starting pitching injuries and might not make the playoffs. (They play the Yanks 14 more times). The A's have a Christian (Bethancourt) and are probably the worst team this season. They recently demoted Cristian Pache. And don't get me started on the travails of the 4th place Marlins and their 3 Jesuses... The two teams with the longest current winning streaks (the O's & Tigers) have neither a Christian nor a Jesus on their rosters. Just sayin'...

The Tigers were blown out today and for the second time this year they asked position player Kody Clemens to pitch. I wonder why they think of him when they need a pitcher... The Phillies have overtaken the Cards for the 3rd wildcard spot and today they were nursing a 1-0 lead heading into the bottom of the 9th. Cory Knebel, who lost the closer spot due to too many blown saves, came on and walked the 1st man, then an error was made to give the Cards 1st & 3rd with nobody out... so, of course, Knebel got out of it and the Phils are now 2 games up on them, 3 in the loss column.

samhexum Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 The Jays have had an advantage at home this season against every team but the Yanks and 1 other because Canada's vaccination laws have left teams playing without assorted unvaccinated players when they visit, but this is ridiculous...
