Does anyone have an idea when Schoop might be back?

They may try middle of July. I can't see it before then. This is PCL tear with MCL involvement. It doesn't just HEAL over night. Buck says he expects him to play again this year.

Schoop. He looked like a new player with the bat, and missing him forced us to put a sub-optimal team on the field with Pearce at 2B and musical butchers in the outfield.

This. I just hope/pray that his bat is better than last years numbers. I like the kid

Schoop no contest. Then we miss any kind of outfielder(even Nate Mclouth) who did better at the plate than these guys. They are all awful.

Nate toward the end of the season with us was a terrible batter. I was glad to see him gone.

With the knee damage, I do not see how that is possible. Of course Mantle played his whole career with a torn ACL.

Hahahahahaha. You brought up Mantle. One of my favorite players. I remember an interview a few years prior to his death.

Canseco just hit 40 HR's and stole 40 bases. Mantle in the interview said he did not know it was that big a accomplishment.

If he had known that he would have done it several times in his career.

You have to love Oklahomans!!!!!!

All the booze took the edge off the pain.

He had it drained about every day. They wrapped him like a mummy. That's why I wanted Manny to play last year. We needed him. I;d have been ok with him coming back at the break this year.

He had a famous injury (maybe twice IIRC) He killed the knee the first time on a pothole in CF. In original Yankee Stadium.

Plus all the booze and late nights with Billy Martin and crew. And Marylin MUST have taken a toll!

      Erceg vs Seranthony Dominguez

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      None of them. Not a single one was good. And none were particularly good before they got here. IMO, it was not the right/proper approach to make a bunch of moves around the margins for this team (or even last year's team to be "honest"). We had real holes and needed real players that were actually good (i.e. like Tony's orginal example Erceg). Based on his last few seasons, it wasn't hard to predict that Kimbrel wouldn't be effective through the course of an entire season and into the post season. It wasn't hard to predict regression of Cano based on how his the last 3/4 months of his 23' went (adding that to that fact that he is a contact pitcher pitching in high levarage situations). It wasn't hard to predict that 22' was an outlier season for Perez and that largerly he is a mediocre reliever. And so on ... Obviously, there is no one single pitcher that can replace a Bautista (maybe Miller?). But Elias was very ineffective in building an effective bullpen for 2024. That's honest.

      Gunnar and Mullins at 1-2 in some order and Westburg batting cleanup? AS at 3, OHearn at 5, Cowser 6 and Adley 7?

      That team was              2024 7th RS                           2nd 9 BA                              3 5 K’s                             8 2 SLG                          1 101 OPS+                    118   Imagine that team playing in this park now? I know how bad they looked yesterday. Not denying that.

      Does anybody "have" to pitch today?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We literally do not have any elite relievers. I trust Eflin more than anyone we have in the pen as long as he isn't struggling.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      By GoldGlove21 · Posted

      He is having a down second half so maybe 1/6th of his career. I do think this makes him harder to extend now. He will likely want to play better to get the best contract, but the closer he gets to free agency and if he bounces back, the number rises quickly.  For me the issue with Adley is on offense and a future in which he needs to DH or play first. Just not enough offensive capability at this point to justify that contract. I do love Adley and I also think he is hurt.

      I feel like this lineup compares to 2016 in the sense that it's a home run or nothing. Otherwise, yes it's a different organization and we have a chance to be a playoff team for the better part of a decade.
