DMC Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Yep. Stanton's now on pace for 324 strikeouts! Hopefully the 81 home runs will ease the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 @Myshkin I didn't know Jansen's early season woes warranted a full-blown analysis, but, well, you got it. Also, how bout Ohtani! Finally, to not neglect the Yankees, it was reported yesterday that Chance Adams had surgery over the offseason to remove a bone spur in his elbow. That changes things in terms of my view of him - it helps explain the dip in performance late last year, which according to scouting reports corresponded to a dip in his stuff as well. Hopefully he will resume confounding expectations soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrum Aeternum Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 The Braves are leading the world in runs scored which is kinda nice, especially since Acuna isn't even on the big squad yet. Can't wait to see what that guy can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 This Yankees game is never gonna end. ETA: A bunch of injuries, decimating the bullpen and a loss. Yeesh. Hopefully Gary was just cramping up like suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Stanton 3 K’s so far. Ok, boo him all you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Pesci Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Enjoying this hot start by the Buccos. While their opponents haven't been the cream of the crop, gotta make that hay when you can. The offense has been quite a surprise as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch-MaesterPhilip Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 The Yankees relief pitching is killing me. They were built up as being so potentially great and I haven't seen anything of the sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone happen to see the play Friday when Didi was called out at home on the passed ball in the 10th inning? How is that not blocking the plate? I don’t know the official rules on that particular play because it was the pitcher and the ball was flipped to that spot I guess; but they made contact before the ball even got to his glove. I really wanted to see Showalter absolutely lose his shit if it was overruled too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pitcher wasn't posted up at the plate waiting for the ball, he was moving towards it and I think that is the reason why it wasn't overturned. The worst part of the play was the fact that Didi didn't go in studs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst part of the play was the fact that Didi didn't go in studs up. It was a great play but Givens was going to block Didi before the ball was even tossed, and he actually had to reach to his left to catch it so the ball absolutely didn’t take him to that spot like they explained after the game. I’m just trying to understand the new rules because I figured that was a huge no-no nowadays. A few seasons ago I would never have even thought about questioning a play like that. 6 hours ago, Tywin et al. said: Stanton goes 0-7 with 5 strikeouts. Another platinum sombrero.

I’ve had him as a keeper in my main nerd league since he was a rookie so I’m used to his ups and downs. He’ll be just fine, if he can stay healthy of course.

DMC Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I have zero worry about Stanton, and I think it's kind of silly - if entirely expected - to have any with 152 games to play. The only thing that made me slightly concerned in the first ten games is the bullpen. There's sure to be regression which will help, but if Boone has as quick a hook on his starters all season like he's demonstrated so far, the bullpen is gonna be gassed by the ASB likely necessitating new (and fresh) arms. And their 40-man reservoir was depleted a few days ago when Ben Heller had Tommy John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
