ghost of miles Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) From today’s Pinstripe Alley roundup: NY Daily News | Kristie Ackert: One of the players that hasn’t moved on from the Astros just yet is Gary Sanchez. Sanchez was openly joking about the situation to reporters, but also noted that he’s seen the clip of Jose Altuve hitting the walk-off against Aroldis Chapman countless amounts of times. Then he offered an amazing quote, saying “I can tell you if I hit a homer and I get my team to the World Series, they can rip off my pants.” Edited February 13, 2020 by ghost of miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Garrett Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Despite the title, discussion of baseball is minimal and near the end of the piece, but fans of the now 99-year-old Roger Angell will no doubt find much of interest in this fascinating interview with him, including a priceless anecdote about Joseph Mitchell.

ghost of miles Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Gerrit Cole making his first start in a Yankees uniform tonight against Pittsburgh, but neither YES nor the Pirates’ TV outlet are broadcasting it. Man, it was nice to watch a little bit of baseball this past weekend, though! The Rays are going to be very, very good this year, like 100+ wins good IMO. And because they’re the Rays, they might just roll out another outside-of-the-box innovation (though this one requires having two exceptionally fleet outfielders and, if implemented, is highly unlikely to become as widespread as their “opener” concept): Two-man outfield? Here’s how the Rays could do it Edited February 24, 2020 by ghost of miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Here we go again: Luis Severino will undergo Tommy John surgery This after pitching all of 20 innings last year, and means he's not back until late next season.

I think it depends on the person when they come back and how effective they are. It took Zack Wheeler a couple of years to come back.

It took Zack Wheeler a couple of years to come back. Yeah, it definitely can vary--the Yankees' Jordan Montgomery had TJS in May 2018 and didn't come back till September of last year, and only then for a handful of innings. He was basically off the shelf for nearly all of 2018 and 2019. If Sevy gets TJS in the next couple of weeks, a 16-month turnaround similar to Montgomery's puts him back around July of next year. Plus he's more of a power pitcher than Montgomery... not sure how that affects his rehab and building up of strength, but I wouldn't be surprised if the process was longer for him. Sure is going to be Opportunity Time for Yankees pitching prospects this spring, what with Paxton not back till mid-May at the earliest, German not back until June (iirc), and Severino now out completely.

ghost of miles Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 While awaiting news of the next Yankee injury (Gerrit Cole hit by a golf-cart? Gary Sanchez broke his toe playing soccer? Gleyber Torres strained an oblique in batting practice and is out for 3 months? Who knows what be next?), here is a note of good cheer for all who happen to be T-Mobile customers: T-Mobile is once again offering free season-long MLB.TV subscriptions to their customers I think this is the fourth year in a row they've done it, and it's spoiled me rotten.

If so, maybe you could get a refund? I signed up for T-Mobile for completely different reasons about five years ago. (They had what seemed to be the best deal for what I needed in terms of cellphone service.) But man oh man, their business relationship with MLB has sure proven bountiful in this regard.

Dan Gould Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 https://www.mlb.com/news/jimmy-wynn-astros-great-dies-at-78 There are many here with more memories of Wynn than me, as my knowledge and interest in baseball really starts in the early 70s but I do recall that "Toy Cannon" was to me the coolest nickname ever when I first heard it.

I find that I have little interest in watching old games that MLB and other stations have been pushing; it simply reminds of what we don’t have. I also have little interest in listening to sports talk radio as they’re trying to create conversation where there is nothing to discuss.
