ghost of miles Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 (edited) Via a Yankee stats account that uses Baseball Reference’s Stathead Streak Finder tool: Yankee rookie Luis Gil is the first pitcher since 1901 to throw 6 innings with 5 H or fewer and 1 R or fewer in seven straight games. On another note, happy to see old friend Luis Severino doing well crosstown with the Mets. Edited June 5 by ghost of miles Quote

Dan Gould Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 On 6/3/2024 at 1:09 PM, Dan Gould said: As down as I remain on the Red Sox chances this season, there are little glimmers like, Wilyer Abreu, acquired from Houston in the Christian Vazques trade. (IIRC the Astros won it all that year but Vasquez left after his rental and Abreu looks very much like a keeper (Sox also got the up-and-down Enmanuel Valdez in that deal, I think he profiles as a decent utility man.) Entering Monday, among qualified AL rookies, Abreu leads in OPS (.829), hits (46), doubles (14), extra-base hits (22) and total bases (82). He ranks second in batting average (.272) and runs scored (26). Abreu is third in home runs (six) and stolen bases (seven). And more or less as I posted this, we find out that Abreu sprained an ankle going down the dugout steps and is being sent to a foot specialist already. That has "6 weeks OR surgery and see ya in the Spring" written all over it. The season was toast already but this just puts another nail in the coffin. Quote
ghost of miles Posted June 7 Report Posted June 7 Juan Soto removed from tonight’s game after rain delay with “left elbow discomfort.” That’s often a red alert for torn UCL/TJS. A huge blow to NY’s offensive prowess and postseason chances if it proves to be the case. Quote

A huge blow to NY’s offensive prowess and postseason chances if it proves to be the case. "Lingering forearm discomfort" is what mlb.com says. If you can't beat 'em, let 'em have a load of devastating injuries like we have! Sorry can't resist. And karma can't bite the Red Sox any worse than it already has. He made a couple of throws to second base in the top of the fifth, one from the right-field corner on Alex Kirilloff’s double, and another on Carlos Santana’s RBI single. The velocity on Soto’s throws on those plays was 75.3 mph and 58.4 mph, respectively. Edited June 7 by Dan Gould Quote
ghost of miles Posted June 7 Report Posted June 7 Looks like Soto and the Yankees may have dodged a bullet. Initial diagnosis is inflammation, which is the best-case scenario. Soto injury update … and while he’s not in tonight’s lineup for the start of the big series with the Dodgers, he has not been put on the IL… at this point, anyway. Quote

Are those the ones that look like Neapolitan ice cream? They wore those for one of their home games against the Yankees earlier this year. Speaking of the Yankees, or at least one in particular—Aaron Judge in his last 41 games (equal to 1/4 of a season): .403 BA, 21 HRs, 49 RBIs. Via MLB.com: After Judge’s 2-for-4, three-RBI performance Tuesday, the slugger is tied with the Guardians' José Ramírez for the Major League lead in RBIs (62) and leads MLB in on-base percentage (.437), slugging percentage (.712), OPS (1.149) and walks (55). And that’s after he had an absolutely abysmal April. Guy is just incredible to watch. Edited June 12 by ghost of miles Quote

JSngry Posted June 12 Author Report Posted June 12 I'll watch Padres games when they're at home. West coast games to finish the night, the only ones still going. They actually have a good broadcasting team, fun and easy to hang out with. So does Oakland. That free MLB TV offer is totally good! And I DO like that uniform! Quote
