He also says that he'll never be Alex Rodriguez, in regard to replacing him as the 3rd baseman.

Honest and forthright, unlike when Johnny Damon said that he "always wanted to be a Tiger" after signing with them in 2010.

He probably would have been better off saying nothing at all, but at least it isn't the usual cliched company line.

Now he has a comment out saying, "that statement was pretty stupid, I'm proud to be a Yankee right now"

I can't wait for Bill Simmons and JackO's hour long podcast over this. It would probably have been recorded today if he wasn't at the NBA all star game.

He's right, it was a pretty stupid comment. For the record, he's been a member of the Red Sox, White Sox, and Yankees.

      The 2023 attendance thread

      By emmett16 · Posted

      I've been to 3 games this year.  I live inside the DC Beltway and quite a few of my son's friends and their families have gone as well.  That's definitely a first - can't ever remember family friends down here making treks up to Camden since the Nats started to play well ~2012.

      First off he doesn't know.  It might look like two weeks now and he has a setback. Also, seven weeks counts as weeks not months.  😉 I'm guessing the ASB.

      Elias did say "weeks, not months" to Brian Kenny on MLB Network a few days back on a direct question about length of absence.     But it still may have been a bull sling. I'm hoping Adam Frazier's veteranosity has been duly honored by a couple games and we get leadoff Gunnar, at least against RHP.    I'm not very confident in anyone, but I have some hope Gunnar could actually do something against Logan Webb.

      Winter 2023 40-Man Additions

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      Reading the tea leaves, I don't think he likes Haskin or Pinto much either.  Rom got moved to Bowie after 67 strong innings in Aberdeen at age 21. Pinto is still in Aberdeen at age 22 after 134 strong innings. IIRC, Haskin didn't receive a ML ST invite despite a good statline last year at Bowie. Haskin and Handley need to get healthy and rake to get added. Pinto needs 50+ IP with a sub 4 FIP at Bowie to get added.

      Giants Series

      By SteveA · Posted

      Yep, the Giants were 11-17 on May 1, since then they have reversed that and gone 17-11.   And as noted, we get their top 3 starters.  So although we are playing a .500 team, they have been playing like a .600 team for a month, and we are getting their best pitchers. On the bright side, they are 18-22 vs RH starters, and 10-6 vs LH starters, and they'll get nothin' but righties from us.

      How does other people having good seasons excuse the poor call they’re making on keeping Mateo and Mountcastle in the lineup every day?

      OMG if looks could kill.  Talk about adding insult to injury....."Grayson, you're demoted"......"Grayson, hold this please" In all seriousness it will be interested to see how he handles next few starts.  I hope he pitches like a man on a mission and realizes what gave him success at AAA isn't going to cut it in MLB and he starts to refine his game even more.  Biggest tests come after the player has been knocked on his back side and to see how he gets back up.
