  1. I think there's some confusion. Ohtani doesn't hit in the DH slot in games where he's both hitting and pitching because MLB treats both the P/DH as one position rather than two like in NCAA ball where you can be removed as a pitcher but still hit as the DH. Home teams in the AL can decide whether to not use a DH in their lineup in favor of having the pitcher hit, which is what Maddon is doing with Ohtani on days that he starts in AL games. If you look at Ohtani's last start, he was in the lineup as a pitcher, and they switched guys out as needed once he was out of the game.
  2. Ah, this works in college baseball. I only know of the NCAA rule for a P/DH where if the pitcher opts to bat for himself, he is treated as two separate positions (a pitcher and a designated hitter, so a P/DH on the lineup card), but that rule doesn't exist in MLB. Yet.
  3. Oh man, I remember "Baby Shark". I think Parra randomly started using it as his walkup song in a June game to beat a slump, and it actually ended up being the team's rally song for the rest of the 2019 season because they turned it around in June that season to win it all
  4. This you? 🤣
  5. It’s been a great Sunday for baseball.
  6. Do you think Glasnow’s injury and his assertion that changing up his mechanics to adjust to the rule changes causing his injury affected team morale?
  7. I have never seen someone who is a fan of a team both hate the team when they win and when they lose as well 🤣
  8. I cannot co-sign this. There's enough baseball out there to watch and actually be entertained by rather than making a losing team my sole source of baseball consumption, honestly. It's bad for your mental health and wellbeing. The Yankees are a terrible team to watch daily this year, and that's fine, I accept this. I've focused on the positive in that their minor league talent is actually fairly good, so I pay attention to that stuff rather than focus on where the big league club is in the W/L column. I have gotten significant amount of value from my MLB.TV subscription by following other games/matchups every day as well if the Yankees decide to not show up. This sport is only as beautiful as you allow it to be.
  9. It's a long season with peaks and valleys. I think it’s almost inevitable that the Rays trade for a starter than can eat innings. They could probably also make a trade to bring Morton back from Atlanta.
  10. You know, there's another NY team worth watching as well, and the owner himself actually talks to the fanbase! What we always lose sight of as well is that trading for anybody that either is currently rehabbing for TJS or needs TJS is usually a high risk high reward trade, depending on what their upside was prior to the injury. One thing that fans keep forgetting to realize is that with the bad deals/trades that the Yankees make, the team, because of the market they are in and the ownership they have can actually absorb bad deals and still be competitive to an extent. Other teams do not have that luxury, and if you follow other franchises you'll see that there have been teams whose bad signings/awful trades set their organization's competitive window back years, if not a decade at least.
  11. Oof, if this is the strike zone, someone call Mike Mussina and Andy Pettitte. We just found two more starters.
  12. Ohtani in the Home Run Derby. So pumped.
  13. There it is, and now the boys head home. Meanwhile, I'll be tuned into this Tigers/Angels game.
  14. Yankees have 3 guys who can throw over 100 which is wild to me. Also, our pitching has (for the very most part) shut Vladdy down this series and for that I am thankful
  15. Second triple play of 2021! Woohoo!
  16. I'm not even mad. Ford won this trade, hopped right up to the team that's in 1st place lol
  17. I mean you'd think they'd offer the kid tickets or something for the series
  18. They spent a lot of time negotiating with the kid who had to run across an onramp to pick up the ball where it landed. Crazy.
  19. Today's Darvish day vs the Rockies, @Sean O
  20. https://www.mlb.com/news/tyler-glasnow-placed-on-injured-list-with-elbow-injury Throw the whole season away for cryin' out loud. Next to Dustin May, Tyler Glasnow was a guy I tuned into watch, even when he dominated the hometown team (NYY). The Rays without an ace to push them through the season is going to really affect how the trade market turns out for them. Do they go ahead and look towards a half-season rental? Who knows. Who else is going to have their arm betray them this season? Hopefully no one else.
  21. Testing, 1, 2, 1 2, is this thing on? Cool. We've unarchived this thread for active discussion during the regular season when games are on. The purpose of this thread is to curb local game discussions in the shoutbox on the homepage and keep it to a thread specifically meant for those discussions. Carry on.
  22. Is this before you start a game? Could be invalid GIDs
  23. Is this Marwin Gonzalez' face? It looks GREAT
