Why does Kimbrel do that hunched over twist with his elbow high in the air every time before a pitch, when there's no runner to look at? 

Because he’s a tool

I understand.  But we really need to get more than just 1 or 2 guys we can trust in the pen at the end of the day.  Yes in hindsight we could say Felix should have pitched last night.  But we can't predict the future.  

Not in hindsight. He didn't pitch on Monday. Pitch him yesterday and make him unavailable for today if you must. Since WHEN do relievers need to pitch on 3-DAY rest?

Heres the future...I wish the future is NOW.

Ortiz up for the Yankees series.  Mateo will be moved.

Getting real concerned about Skanks Blow Jays back to back..

Jays do concern me. I need to see more from NYY for them to concern me.

**** off Stott.

Phillies are better than the Judge-less Yankees.

Don’t be so sure.

If the Orioles win with Urias, McCann, and Mateo, this will indeed be a magic season.

Judge coming back changes a lot

I’m fine with it. It’s July. 

When we lose the division by a game will you still be fine with it?

The guy that wears #99 will return soon and so will their swagger.

Why wasn't Irvin brought in the 7th, following Bradish?

[baltfan]

Mateo is banged up. They aren’t trading him. Ortiz only could come up if they IL him which might be a decent idea.

Or even earlier. Isn't he the "long" man?

Again upgrades needed.
