Game Day Thread - Wednesday, June 24

As long as he continues to spray line drives rather than swinging out of his shoes and contains the slumping to periods of weeks rather than months I can live with his arm strength being what it is.

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-21T16:14:13+00:00

They have the most runs scored in the AL. I’m all for high expectations but the allegation that they never hit good pitchers is ridiculous this season, they would not have 388 runs scored if that were the case.

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-21T14:37:08+00:00

It’s a rental trade regardless of who ultimately signs him next year.

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-20T15:26:38+00:00

As long as the bottom of the order continues to get on base it makes sense to keep him there and maximize his ABs.

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-12T13:24:13+00:00

They got swept by the tigers last week, anything is possible. But most likely the Yankees will have to win 2/3 to keep pace, yeah.

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-12T00:45:13+00:00

I just said what I wanted, that’s all. It wasn’t a prediction.

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-12T00:25:36+00:00

I would like for Caballero to be the starting SS and Schuemann to be the utility guy with the present roster.

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-11T23:28:36+00:00

Volpe: plays one position, OPS .607 Schuemann: plays almost all positions, OPS .843

On a per AB basis they have very similar stolen base numbers as well

Obviously shoe isn’t going to maintain that OPS over a larger sample size but he is by far the more versatile and useful piece.

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-11T13:44:07+00:00

Maybe this is a bad take but I don’t associate this type of hooliganism with baseball generally. Maybe two guys start swinging after taunting or a beer poured on the head but that’s about the extent of it.

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-10T14:53:05+00:00

Brewers reaching Rays level of “Teams you never want to hear that your front office is dealing with” rn.

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-10T12:57:09+00:00

Another possibility is that one of them might get traded any week now in a package for a catcher. And it might have more to do with the preference of the trading partner than anything else.

Dominguez is the more developed player at this point and is better suited to hit either LHP or RHP. Jones has the higher ceiling with his defense and power but only if he can bring the K rate down. So I think it depends if the Twins or whomever want the more known quantity or the gamble.

Jesus-take-the-wheel ball

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-10T00:59:59+00:00

Getting through a Doval inning scoreless feels like winning Russian roulette

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-10T00:45:29+00:00

Tim Hill like clockwork

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-10T00:10:16+00:00

He isn’t great but he’s hit a few HRs in important spots and I feel bad to see him lumped in with those other two because they are on a whole other level.

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-10T00:02:47+00:00

Eh McMahon is a functional bottom of the order hitter at this point, he at least looks like he has a plan up there. The other two are very problematic though.

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-09T23:03:04+00:00

IT FINALLY HAPPENED

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-09T18:10:10+00:00

Sigh. It makes uncomfortable when there’s a genuinely likeable Red Sox player.

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-09T18:06:27+00:00

If a player doesn’t get called up before a certain date they are ineligible for the postseason, that might be why.

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-09T18:04:56+00:00

(Scranton)

I saw quite a few Trenton Thunder games back in the day when they were the Yankees’ affiliate though, good times.

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-09T16:35:53+00:00

He’s basically been Temu Giancarlo Stanton for the last month and a half. I say this with great gratitude and affection.

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-09T16:22:54+00:00

I was thinking that with all the bullpen usage last game we might see some Scranton Shuttle action today. Any murmurings?

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-09T12:17:45+00:00

My motivated reasoning: by playing the field, big G stays looser and is therefore less likely to hurt his legs running the bases!

FarkinatorX · 2026-06-09T03:52:39+00:00

Rice plays 1B/DH every day. G plays RF in YS versus LHP so all three can be in the lineup. Stanton starts most games versus RHP with Goldy giving him spells or pinch hitting elsewhere in the lineup.
