Along with McKenna, the way Palmer was talking. 

When Hicks inevitably gets hurt, I could see McKenna getting recalled, but Palmer was giving off some end of days vibes there (not that I think Palmer knows anything about what the front office thinks).

To the eye is seems Cano is not getting elite movement as he was earlier in the season.  Lots of hard contact. 

Definitely though some of the last few games it has looked a little closer. Early in the season the balls looked like whiffle balls.

He might actually hear stuff.   I could see a coach letting Palmer in on some private stuff....just because he is Palmer.

As much as left field in Camden was a joke, it seems like right in Yankee Stadium is even worse.   Too bad our hitters can’t seem to take advantage. 

I thought the park effects over the last few years before the Wall made OPACY kinda neutral but maybe I’m wrong. 
 

RF in Yankee stadium is the biggest joke in baseball.

    • Because I believe how it works is they project FIP and then adjust based on team defense and park factors to project ERA. Since we’re talking about a trade, the context-specific elements of defense and park factors are less relevant. The projections have been shown to be more highly correlated with future performance than ERA or ERA estimators such as FIP.  
    • Wait …what . Cedric has hit for .271 and .290 in his career. And I could also live with the .258 he hit a couple seasons ago.
    • I'm happy that I made it through yesterday intact but look ahead...there are thousands of viruses floating around out there, and it might thunderstorm this weekend...I feel there's a solid chance I get struck by lightning at least twice...my "health" will likely be short lived...but I'm happy to be alive...for now..
    • Pittsburgh signed Keller thru 2028.  As much as I would like to trade for him, I think they plan to build their rotation around Keller and Skenes.  Keller is a #2/3 with ace upside.  If their GM would think to move him, they would no doubt want a package starting w/ Mayo/Basallo or Holliday, fair or unfair. 
    • We've talked about this many times over the years, but I'll never quite get the kind of mass hysteria narratives that sometimes spread around MVP or other award voting. In 1996 ARod was obviously a better overall hitter than Gonzalez, definitely a better baserunner, and while Rodriguez was a good shortstop Gonzalez was a below-average corner outfielder. There was no WAR at the time, but retroactively this is reflected in ARod winning that metric about 9-3. But as often happens someone runs with one crazy idea or the other and they give the award to the clearly worse player. Makes me think it's usually just a way to sell more newspapers with controversy.
    • Right …would anybody be for us picking up Flaherty again? I know I wouldn’t 
    • I worry about Keller ….pitching well then goes to a new team and pitches at the 4 ERA he was last season.
