Corey Dickerson is a pain in the ass for Yankee staff.

My Husband just got home and says "why are you sitting on the computer when your supposed to be preparing dinner". I said I don't have time for your Shit go take a shower I'm making Eggplant Parm after the game.

Come on Holder, live up to your name and finish it.

I'm not sure if I bunt there after three straight hits. Especially after seeing that crappy attempt.

...not a big fan of the bunt anymore. First off, nowadays most players are poor bunters in general not to mention that the strikeout rate is much higher now as compared to yesteryear.

...not sure who said it but it was a manager who was also not a fan of the sac bunt, who said, and I'm paraphrasing: "If you're playing for one run, that's likely all you'll get".

...I'm going ask Mess to have it put in your message board file that you "don't work and play well with others".

Good guys win !

They will have their ups and down but I'm enjoying watching this team. Will get better when fully healthy and Didi and Sanchez are back in there.

Judge, if that guy can keep making contact he's going to be one hell of a home run hitter. Liked him pretty much from the start and he's good in the field as well.

Earl Weaver always hated it. Felt you were just giving the pitcher a free out. I think there's certain situations where it does make sense but like you alluded to you really need a guy who has the hands for it as it seems there's few very good bunters left. For the most part I'd rather just let the batter swing away.

I can't help myself.

Carter does not belong on this club. What was Cashman thinking? A hit or miss hitter.....with the emphasis on miss.
He is done! This is a professional hitter? ONLY IN CASHMAN's BOOK!

exactly, and neither does Kozma belong on this team, taking a valuable roster spot, many others are waiting in the wings for. Same with a few others....

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Had Tyler Austin been available Carter most not likely would have made the team, ditto Kozma had Gregorius not gone on the DL. I like Torreyes, did not get much of a chance to play last year but he's getting it done with Gregorius out.

Monty was a South Carolina Gamecock Alumni from 2012-014.

SC appeared in the 3 consecutive CWS finals; winning the Championship in 2010, 2011, and lost in the finals in 012. Monty was a freshman on the team in 012, pretty impressive to make the lineup of the defending NCAA Champs,

impressive to make the cut to begin with, let alone as a Frosh....hope he has a successful career, and I'd damn near bank on it in due time. He will only get better imo....As much imo, he's everything Kappy isn't....

Last great drag bunter imo, was Lou Brock, loved to watch him drag one down the line......
