Rizzo back to the Cubs, Trea Turner to an 8 year deal, Christopher Morel extension. Get it done.

This might actually get me to go to Wrigley next year.

Didn't go to a single ballgame in my own city. Only one was Pride Night at Target Field. Not nearly enough based balls.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Rizzo did say he wanted to stay in NY. Of course why wouldn’t you? Obviously he wants to get one last big contract and keeping the Yankees in that makes sense. I basically expected her opt out as long as he had a relatively healthy and productive season. And he can sell is weird consistency with the shift ban helping him. So yeah. He wants to get paid. We’ll see.

I wonder what the Yankees think about Rizzo. His WAR was only 2.3 this season with pretty bad D but the eye test looks better than that.

Offseason and the Mariners are good and only have 2 or 3 real holes to fill.

Was it Maldonado that was doing the little thing where he would scoot forward in the batters box mid-windup too to throw off the pitcher 🤣

Rizzo is a master at that.

I see what Maldy did as the same as a basketball player flopping or a wide receiver trying to convince he caught a ball that touched the ground. Shady but up to the umps/referees to call em out on it. What Diaz did in Game 1 was much more of a lean-in and he was rightly called out on it.

Mariners are the biggest threat to take down the Astros. Maybe the Blue Jays as well but that's it.

That's not really leaning in though, if anything the batter pulls his arm back so he gets plunked. This is the risk of throwing inside to a guy who's standing right on top of the plate. :shrug:

agreed he didn't lean in. he made zero attempt to get out of the way and in fact acted as to increase his chances of getting hit, which is not supposed to get you a base. like lift your left arm and that's just a ball. but hey seems to have worked out for them

Aaron Judge's contract will be a horrible albatross before the ink dries, and I hope the Giants sign him anyway.

While I agree he's not trying to get out of the way, I've seen a lean in called (obviously this series but also before that) but I have never, once, seen a man get called for not putting enough effort into dodging the pitch

Unlike the last time we won a series, I have a well-paying job and can splurge now

I seriously considered the framed pictures that have world series dirt and pieces of a base and ball in them but felt too ridiculous. The print is a nice compromise.

Closers are like kickers where its often a bad idea to sign them long term but if you mess up and don't and they go be ballers somewhere else your fanbase hates you

also they're like kickers in that if yours sucks you'll do literally anything to get a good one and not have to worry about that aspect of the game

They probably would have gotten killed if they lost him so what can you do? And it theoretically provides some buffer space if they don’t resign DeGrom. At least they’ll be able to point to Diaz and say “we’re willing to spend”. I dunno.

The most important quote from this article - the Astros had a trade for Wilson Contreras agreed upon and Dusty nixed it.

quote:

The Astros and Chicago Cubs were in agreement on a trade to send star catcher Willson Contreras to the Astros for starter Jose Urquidy, four sources familiar with the deal told ESPN. The straight-up trade was agreed upon, pending owner approval. That approval never came.

Edit: JFC - I'm very glad this wrapped up in 6.

"Me, Yuli and Altuve all would've been out of the lineup tomorrow," Bregman said to Brantley after the game.

Guess I get the Mets seemingly nailing Diaz down for the year or two before he probably blows up but seems like an awful lot for the privilege. Then again, maybe they have just decided to take the cap off this year? NL East is gonna be weird next season.
