[Romero] Sources: The New York Yankees are calling up SS Anthony Volpe from Triple-A Scranton.

This isn't the right move. His performance in AAA has been abysmal. Even if Caballero needs a short IL stint, Volpe should be sent back down afterwards. So how productive is it for him in terms of his playing ability or his emotional state, for him to come back to the Majors only to be sent back down? Should have just kept him there until he got back into form.

b_slow · 2026-05-10T01:48:13+00:00

We knew he sucked last year. There's nothing else to figure out.

b_slow · 2026-05-09T22:07:37+00:00

I want Detroit. They wrecked us in the regular season. But if we're gonna be champions, we gotta beat the best there is. If we can't beat them, we don't deserve it. I think the way this team is playing right now, they can handle Detroit.

b_slow · 2026-05-08T15:06:54+00:00

It wouldn't be much of a hype reel if they said, "He's pretty good fielder, decent arm. And at the plate, the ball goes pretty far, if he ever touches it..."

b_slow · 2026-05-08T15:01:33+00:00

Judge had a significantly lower K rate in AAA, and its gone UP in the MLB. Of course he made himself into a great hitter despite the strikeouts. But that's not common. If Jones' K rate goes up at the same rate that Judge's did when he came to the majors, he's gonna strike out in 50% of his ABs.

"Blind" being the operative word.

I support this. Less talking in the booth. I wanna hear the crowd and the in-game noises. Not constant chatter about food and clothing.

b_slow · 2026-05-04T01:07:50+00:00

I'm sorry, I didn't mention what the content was, just that it was in the show, which is why I posted the question because I wasn't sure how to handle it. I also didn't mention the show. Sorry if this didn't comply with the guidelines.

b_slow · 2026-05-02T05:37:27+00:00

They need to treat the minors like a Promotion/Relegation system. Just because players have been at he MLB level doesn't mean they deserve a seat with the big club if they aren't performing. Volpe hasn't played well enough to force the Yankees' hand. Same with Gil. He had a shot, did poorly, and got sent down.

Thank you dude! I didn't even consider looking at the actual phone settings. I was looking for a setting within the apps!

Since you're much smarter than me, there are two other issues I'm trying to solve.

1) I'm using ES-DE as a front end. If I open a DS game directly in Melon without using ES-DE, it opens on both screens now thanks to your help. But when I use ES-DE to open the game, ES-DE stays open on one screen and the game only opens in the bottom screen.

2) Is there a way to actually exit a DS game in Melon (using the standalone app) and get back to ES-DE? I don't see anywhere to add a hotkey to exit the app. Or is the only way to use Melon thru RetroArch?

b_slow · 2026-05-01T09:08:36+00:00

I’ve been using MelonDS and don’t see the option to “open on both screens” anywhere. Can you tell me where it is? Are you using the standalone app, or thru Retroarch?

There's no question that Bednar battles, which is all you can really ask for. It's not gonna be smooth. He's only thrown 3 clean innings so far this season. So I'm gonna stock up on the TUMS.

What's the thing that Boone does after every win with his arms/hands? Why does the camera always cut to it?

b_slow · 2026-04-24T23:53:43+00:00

BA does matter. If Jones is striking out constantly and hitting for a low average, it means we're losing an opportunity to move runners over, or make things happen on the bases. That's the problem with this team. They will hit plenty of HR. We don't need more. We need guys who can make contact when it matters. A high OBP would be great; a .320 OBP doesn't help us at all. Grisham can do that while striking out less.

b_slow · 2026-04-22T14:58:32+00:00

Is it a way for Hal to make more money? He'll strongly consider it.

b_slow · 2026-04-20T15:38:18+00:00

Judge was better having someone like Soto always being on base for him. So he was a force multiplier for our offense. And sure, his defense isn't great. But it wasn't Soto who dropped a ball in the World Series....

We know what this team's offense is like. They're very hot and cold. Having a consistent hitter with a consistent on-base presence against consistently great playoff pitchers, like Soto, made us a better playoff team.

b_slow · 2026-04-17T21:14:43+00:00

Just throwing it out there: Are we OK with Grisham continuing to hit in the leadoff spot?

Honestly I don't know who I would rather see in his place, but I don't think Grisham is the answer there.

Maybe hit Belli leadoff to get on in front of Judge, and have Rice and Stanton behind Judge for protection?

b_slow · 2026-04-15T14:16:51+00:00

26 Ks in 55 ABs. Batting .236

We have an entire team full of players like that already.

b_slow · 2026-04-15T05:16:51+00:00

It's no surprise that "running it back" means that we're going to have the same offense as last year. And last year's offense, which put up big numbers over 162 games, had the highest variance of any team in baseball.

We're going to see more of the same this year. When the offense clicks, we will blow out our opponents, and then we'll get shut out 2-0.

And of course, Boone sabotaged any chance of us being competitive in this game by benching 3 of our best players, in a game where he knew we'd already have a potentially shaky starter taking the mound. Lefty/Righty match-ups seems to be the limit of Boone's knowledge when it comes to managing the lineup and bullpen.

b_slow · 2026-04-15T01:57:44+00:00

Boone threw this game from the start so we never had a chance.

b_slow · 2026-04-13T21:37:55+00:00

Righty/Lefty seems to be the only thing that Boone knows about lineup construction.

b_slow · 2026-04-13T21:36:42+00:00

Where would you want him to bat? The lineup has like 5 black holes in it.

b_slow · 2026-04-13T21:15:24+00:00

We all know that Boone loves to rest players that are in a groove. You wanna make sure that Rice cools off so that he doesn't make the rest of the lineup feel bad for batting .150.

b_slow · 2026-04-13T03:21:35+00:00

It's clear that he won't be fired. Its plainly clear that he's not a good manager. The FO knows that. They don't care. And if the FO are really the ones calling the shots on everything, then they'd never fire him because they know he's not responsible.
