In his 1st start there, he opposed... Rickey Henderson, who retired 15 years ago. AJ Hinch, who is on his 2nd managing job. And Tom Candiotti, who has been a broadcaster for 18 seasons.

caulfield12 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) Ohtani was sandbagging all the time, haha. https://www.mlb.com/news/shohei-ohtani-hits...run/c-270714474 Hanging 74 mph inside curveball from Tomlin. (Let's see if he can hit a 95+ mph fastball for a homer for his next trick.) Although the Angels having two superstars makes things incrementally harder for the White Sox (albeit different divisions), it's great for the sport overall to have another Japanese superstar (if that's what he eventually becomes). Maybe he's the type of transcendent personality that inspires a breakthrough in China or India, even. Edited April 4, 2018 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) Yankees tried to get Trayce Thompson to AAA, but Oakland claimed him. I really am surprised the Sox have no interest. I would claim him, DFA Saladino, make Leury the primary INF back up, give Trayce some ABs, if he hits great, if not, no one will claim him, you can drop him to AAA. You might not even have to DFA Saladino. He may have an option left. Edited April 5, 2018 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might not even have to DFA Saladino. He may have an option left. Depends if they like him over Cordell, and/or Leury mostly in the outfield vs. a defensive infield replacement. Or Skole/Tilson...those would SEEM to be the three guys that Thompson would have to be better than, maybe Palka. If Cordell can legitimately play 3rd (and 1B), he has an advantage.

You are right, misleading title from the article considering they write: "When looking at the post-war, modern era (from about 1950 until now), there are 25 hurlers who stand above the rest as the greatest starting pitchers in history. Here are those men, sorted by Wins Above Replacement (via Fangraphs)." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 09:52 PM) Mike Matheny is horrible We often over dramatize how bad a manager might be and how much his decisions actually affect his team's record. But that's not the case with Matheny. He truly is that horrible and costs his team and franchise drastically in the win loss department. It can't be understated.

caulfield12 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Ohtani just crushed another homer, 3rd of the year. Three consecutive games, all 3 home games. Hitting 7/16... Hendriks just walked him with bases loaded, wouldnt give him anything over the plate. Edited April 7, 2018 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomPickle Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I am so hyped for Ohtani. I know we are still at a super small sample size, but he's the most interesting player I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanSoxFan Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Ohtani is just dealing. The A's are no world beaters but their lineup is decent. They have no chance. 10 K's through 5. Did he send his twin brother to spring training? Edited April 8, 2018 by GermanSoxFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
