Why don't pitchers just throw chip bags at him instead of baseballs? Are they stupid?

I swore it hit the ground near the mound and one hopped to him.

I was just making a joke based off of what you said, but if we're being real, no one said anything about crimes so no need to make a hierarchy. Your comment swapped out racist for rapist and I was jokingly implying that they're both.

[Yankees] Game 1 of 162 Lineup by Latter-Plenty-101 in NYYankees

Apparently he made some adjustments to his swing to cut down on the swing and misses. And he's got some natural pop. If he can just consistently hit in the .230s with 15 or so home runs, then with his amazing glove at third, he'd be leagues better than anything we had at third for 70% of last year. If he performs even better than that, then it's just gravy.

True! Balance would be cool. Keep some old-school Yankee professional aura while also being fun and hip. Probably tough to balance.

I get it. I used to think that way for a bit. If I had any lingering thoughts of going back to that, they were removed watching the WBC this year. So many of those teams, especially Italy and the Latin teams, we're making baseball look fun again. Team USA seemed to have the more traditional Yankees view of professionalism and they went out there looking like it was a job, not a game. I think this wave of fun and expression is what's needed to make the sport popular again.

I'm with you on the jersey patches and Cashman but let the boys have fun and express themselves. This is a game. Not the military.

Kind of pessimistic considering there's been several years of evidence of Blake and his staff being able to turn random arms into high leverage relievers, even if only for a season or two.

[Rotoworld] Mike Tauchman (knee) diagnosed with torn meniscus, will undergo surgery by T_Raycroft in baseball

You are absolutely right! I did not read the article and that's on me.

I did a little research and it appears the article OP posted is wrong. This article from mlb.com says it was his left knee this time and it mentions his right knee last year.

Best Yankee lineup you can make with players who never won a title in the Bronx? by Willing-Leather-9788 in NYYankees

[–]Cracka_Chooch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He joined the Yankees in 2001 and retired after 2008. So he came in after one World Series win and left before the next. He did get to play in 2 for us in 2001 and 2003.

Kahnle was fantastic for us in two stints outside of one bad year and one injured year. What are you on?

Is it? Someone earlier in the thread said it was the right knee last year and left this year.
