I missed that. I wonder what was said.

I'm not a good enough lip reader... looked like Swisher was crying to the ump about the 3rd strike call, and Alberts said something to him as he walked by, presumably giving him crap about crying about the call... then Swisher said something back at Albers...

I hate Nick Swisher with every fiber of my being. The Yankees getting him was so shrewd it kills me. He absolutely kills us.

And as much as jTrea is straight up wrong sometimes, I have to back him up on the Chris Ray thing. Every. Damn. Time. You can't be a successful reliever in the AL East if you can't pitch to the Yankees. That being said, he's not looking as good as he was a couple weeks ago. Maybe that injury is cropping back up.

Did I mention I hate Nick Swisher? Most arrogant little troll in the game.

I do not love THAT nick either:angryfire:

    • 1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.

    • Was reading Wiggins write up on ESPN. He appears to be more of a home run threat than Koolaid. He had a pick 6 each of the last 2 years.  
    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
