How much IL time has that lineup had, on top of the Yankees' top prospects like Volpe, Oswaldo Cabrera, and Oswald Peraza not doing anything at the plate? I'm not a Yankee fan but that would piss me off if I were that coach.

I'm not a Yankee fan but that would piss me off if I were that coach. Peraza has been in AAA pretty much all year despite raking there while Donaldson does nothing/hurts himself making outs. Hitting coaches are always the first ones on the block and also probably the least actually impactful but let's see who they bring in to replace Lawson (who was the hitting coordinator for the entire minor league system when all of the top prospects had offensive explosions!) That dude thinking Hal "I don't understand why the fans are upset" Steinbrenner issued an ultimatum is incredible brain work on display.

Might as well make Austin Wells the hitting coach, though, if he was able to point to something wrong with Volpe's swing that Lawson could not. Alternatively, just make a plate of Chicken Parm the hitting coach, it'll probably have similar results.

Pungry posted:Mariners end the stretch before the all star break taking 7 of 10 from the Rays, Astros, and Giants and are back over .500. It's a good sign from the team, I am a bit worried it's a little late considering how many teams they have to step over to take a wild card spot. Pitching has been back to being excellent and the offense has been okay enough, including a huge 7 run comeback versus the Rays in this stretch. We should grab Ohtani for the rest of the season

Also Chris Davis in what is my second favorite game of all time  Kilometers Davis posted:Bradish is low key really impressive this year and I feel like he goes completely under the radar. We were all excited for Bradish after his second half last season, unfortunately he was shaky early this season but he's got a lot of potential and been better recently. If Grayson Rodriguez could come up and actually be good it would be nice but I can't complain about much right now. sharknado slashfic fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Jul 10, 2023 |

BigBallChunkyTime posted:I love the Shaw pick "Love" is a strong word but given the Cubs draft position and what was on the board, I think it's a solid pick. Shaw's bat should play in the majors and he's got surprising power to all fields, and plus speed on top. Even if there's no room for improvement on the arm he should be a solid 2B/OF.

I would say he's overdue to be replaced given the lack of offensive production out of everyone nor named Judge for the last two and a half years or so but ultimately it may be meaningless. The roster is still full of holes

During my year there, I loved watching Crush Davis and Nelson CRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ absolutely murder baseballs. And there was Manny, and JJ Hardy, and Adam Jones, and Valencia, and Wieters ... they were just so much fun to watch, even though Dan Duquette was already beginning to destroy the team that Andy MacPhail built.

How is everyone feeling about their squadron at the break I am impressed by Atlanta's clearly sustainable offensive numbers and glad they have managed to win so many games even without one of their best pitchers available for a large chunk of time, but hopefully Jesse Chavez returns soon.

Spencer Strider is a very good baseball man and I hope he strikes out like fifty dudes next game. Also the Braves rule and are probably the best team I've ever seen play for Atlanta, I greatly look forward to being destroyed 3-1 in the NLDS by the Diamondbacks.

The Stros are in prime position to be "the team no one wants to face" when the playoffs start despite not having the best record (although with the Rangers and Rays slipping that's not quite as absurd as it sounded a month ago). Hopefully Altuve and Yordan's obliques will remain unstrained for the rest of the season. They will need to address starting pitching somehow because 4/5 pitchers giving up early leads and forcing extra innings on the pen is not a recipe for success. Javier's issues being a mechanical thing that can be corrected over the ASB would be a large boost on its own.

Yeah, Ross only has another year left on his contract (with a club option for 2025; I don't recall seeing any details on what, if any, buyout there is), and I imagine he's feeling pressure from the front office to start showing results. His insane lineup management isn't doing him any favors, though. If the team doesn't sell and then the Cubs faceplant in the second half, then he's going to have a very awkward season-ending exit interview with Jed Hoyer.

I feel like the FO is going to have a really hard time justifying holding on to guys like Stroman or Bellinger who will absolutely bring back quality trade returns when they're seven games back of the division and the Reds appear to have no interest in slowing down.
