He takes the idea of being the next Ted Williams a bit too far when it comes to emulating the Splinter's defense.

Is he secretly a poster here?

That's fair. It was an attack on the idea of the good old days somehow being superior. They weren't. Discrimination wasn't right. Throwing at people isn't right. We are better served with today's game. Hopefully the last vestiges of the mentality that leads people to throw at others are on their way out. I think it's a good sign the O's didn't retaliate.

I think over the last few seasons a lot of them skip apoplectic and go straight to resigned. The fanbase doesn't believe in Yankees magic anymore.

The idea should be to improve the team. You shouldn't be scared of also improving another team. Worry about yourself. If they improve themselves against everyone other than one other playoff team I'm OK with that.

Not a good sign, they should be trying to up the pitch count.

I don't think it ever makes sense to start a game with O'Hearn in the outfield.

Why aren't they? Even if there is a slight dip in overall offense theoretically the gain in pitching would offset it.

I'm not signing up for 5 games a week with McCann at catcher. Nosireebob.

COOL! You can break someone's hand! That will show everyone how tough you are! Maybe you can even end a career. Pfft. We're adults, we should act like it. By old school baseball the way it was meant to be played do you mean whites only?

Sure it does. It helps them in the regular season. Do you think they should go into the playoffs only thinking about the Orioles? What if the O's, I don't know, get swept by the WC team in the first round? As ridiculous as that sounds.

Obviously I expect them to make the deal that most helps them. But if the O's give them the best deal it would be dumb to refuse to deal with them.

Even if it also makes them a better team? Seems stupid.

I really wish fans would stop advocating for, the applauding, this sort of behavior. If it becomes known that fans think it's a stupid, dangerous practice, maybe it will help kill it off.

Two for flinching!

The Munsters have been a thing....twice. This is not something new.

Ain't bad.

Remind me which one got the hit again?

I'd rather not give the Yankees a chance to stat pad.

Who wouldn't expand the zone with an eleven run lead, the bases loaded and a position player pitching?

21 is one better.

I love it when statcast thinks a position player's fastball is a breaking pitch because it's so slow.

There goes his consecutive innings streak.

Almost Uecker level! Whoohoo he is nearly at the level of a career backup catcher most known for his comedic stylings off the field.
