I am more worried about his defense and not his offense. The kid has a bat on him. I think the important thing for folks to remember is that a college Junior is about the same age as Mayo.

So he should go back down after 36 at bats like Holliday did if he isn't performing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if your coworkers performing poorly impacted your performance, would you feel the same? It's not hard at all. They can all quit anytime they like. You don't think people in other fields stay because of an attractive salary they couldn't make elsewhere? And I have absolutely had coworkers performing poorly and impacting my performance. Hasn't everyone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you have so many activities within a short drive? And when it is basically sunny 340 days a year? You learn to live with it. Even where I live here north of Los Angeles, it has been 95 to 105 for the past month straight but it gets down into the 50s to low 60s at night. No humidity. You really can't beat it. I was in Monterey, light fog in the mornings, never got really hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does “all he can” then we will keep him.. cause DR has as much money as any MLB owner and more than most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Ohtani contract should be the guideline for players in high tax States. Have 80% of the money deferred to later years when the player can choose a tax free residence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uli2001 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Toronto pitcher walked the bases loaded (Judge IBB) with two outs, and then Stanton struck out. Still Tor 2-0. This may not be a bad strategy: walk Soto, Judge, and Wells every time they come up. There's not much going elsewhere in that lineup.

I think folks should start saying he's going to strike out on a slider out of the zone before he even sees a pitch. Because that's helpful behavior.
