C'mon man! The guy is 6'7" and 285. Don't disparage his achievements mindlessly. That's weak. He's an animal. He can hit it out of Yellowstone. The fact that he can go yard to right in Yankee Stadium is an additional credit and attribute. These are not mindless comments. He's an animal cheating the game. I'm just speaking facts. Buddy...where is your evidence..?? Would you say the same were Judge a Red Sox? I read today on a Yankee site that Ortiz should not be in the Hall of Fame because he "obviously" juiced when comparing his Minnesota stats to those with the Sox. Are you equally willing to damn Big Papi? Papi supposedly failed a steroid test years ago. Judge has not. Where do you stand?

Wow. 40HR’s for Judge and there are still a few games left in July. That is quite a pace he’s on. Steroids and a little league ballpark are a wonderful combo! C'mon man! The guy is 6'7" and 285. Don't disparage his achievements mindlessly. That's weak. He's an animal. He can hit it out of Yellowstone. The fact that he can go yard to right in Yankee Stadium is an additional credit and attribute.

Trading for Durant shortens the window quite a bit. Yeah...and with a shortage of draft picks. Tatum might become disenchanted...

[...] Bleis' single was a sharp liner to the right fielder. Later he nearly left the yard with a drive caught at the left field fence...wind blowing in. Of note, he tracked down a couple of long line drives to left center with a long, gliding stride. If one can characterize it as such, his lope was pretty. Edit: I never saw Joe DiMaggio play, but recall descriptions of his fluid outfield running style. Bleis has a grace about him when he runs after balls in the field....fast, but not hurried...silky. "[Fred] Lynn, who won the first of his four Gold Gloves as a rookie and glided to balls with elegant, loping strides" www.espn.com/boston/mlb/story/_/id/9100274/boston-red-sox-legend-fred-lynn-thinks-jackie-bradley-time-nowWell, you nailed it. Good comparison. If Bleis ever makes it to Boston, you will see what I was trying to describe. I think an aura of confidence is part of it and an athleticism beyond the ordinary presents itself apart.

Interesting video. It was taken roughly from where SteveofBradenton and I were sitting today. There was an milb photographer behind us so perhaps that was his doing.

What would it have been in MLB? Isn't Bello our best hope Obiwan? He got nailed in 3 straight MLB games. He is not missing bats to date despite 97 mph velocity. The jump from AAA or AAAA is apparently enormous. Hopefully Bello and Mata can man 3-5th rotation status. No Clemens on the horizon. Your posts are usually great but this one.... Hadn't taken my antidepressive for a few days....☺️

Murphy had a tough one today. That’s ok, everyone once in a while have a tough one. What would it have been in MLB? Isn't Bello our best hope Obiwan? He got nailed in 3 straight MLB games.

At least if Doyle says he immediately loved the class when interviewing Toboni a year later, he won't be full of it this time. Yeah, it's funny how quickly Doyle went from a clown who whiffed on Yorke to now a shrewd expert who happens to love the Sox '22 draft... Here's another, not so favorable assessment... 2022 MLB Draft Results: Grades for Overall Team-by-Team Results share.newsbreak.com/1gzkmsdx

Is that similar to "glute dominance"

Here’s to hoping they draft IF Cole Coffey (Texas State) and complete the trifecta. Ya, I could go for more Coffey That'll be an extra charge. No free refills.

Mason McRae on Jonathan Brand: Had him ranked 202 Glute dominance is the new market inefficiency I'm waiting for the acronym or the letters used to identify and the numbers used to quantify "glute dominance" as a new stat.

Gary Gill Hill is the name of the draft Why can't we get guys like that?☺️

Yankees first pick a 6'7" Aaron Judge clone....so they continue to amass big guys.

Have we picked even one guy who was ranked higher (by anyone) than where we picked him?
We've gotten a couple of small guys...I haven't checked this draft but the Yankees always seem to opt for big power guys whether positionally or pitching wise.

The Sox should offer Verdugo, Wong, Downs, Franchy, and Wink for Soto. Basically Betts and Beni for Soto, right? Seems fair. Seriously? Flotsam for...Yanks can do so much better and easily...

Baseballs are juiced for these games. I have had the conspiracy theory cross my mind that they're using juiced balls for Yankees batters and dead balls for Yankees pitchers and that is the only possible way they're having this kind of season. MLB definitely has the power to do that and there is a lot of money available to buy absolutely anything. AND I thought that you were kidding...

I was thinking Portland. But only if he continues to show advanced hitting for the next two plus weeks. Oh, I know...was just kidding...

Perales: 3IP, 1H, 0ER, 0BB, 3K Again I say...watch this guy. I didn't know who he was 2 weeks ago, but without hyperbole, he has been damn impressive...outstanding FB that he can readily locate. I don't have a feel on secondaries..but whatever...plenty of time to develop. The arm is the thing..overmatching this level.

One thing I noticed about Davison is that he tries to block shots from behind the shooter when there is traffic close to the basket. He's not tall or long enough to block much on his man face on, but several times he nearly blocked shots...(once he did) positioning himself behind as the shooter was rising up and perhaps bringing the ball more within Davison's reach.

TEN? Good lord. Just spotting wins to our division rival. Boston should pass laws to benefit the Red Sox at Toronto's expense. You mean start our own 'revenge tour'? It's Canada's health policy to protect its citizenry, not Toronto's dictates.
