caulfield12 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 https://sports.yahoo.com/oneil-cruz-breaks-records-with-multiple-hits-over-120-mph-while-lifting-pirates-past-giants-in-extra-innings-025936264.html O'Neil Cruz had the three hardest hit balls of the night (115 mph+)...2 out of 3 were the hardest hit baseballs of the season. Giancarlo Stanton's 119.9 mph homer is the fifth-hardest home run in the Majors since Statcast began tracking in 2015. Stanton has three of the top five. Judge has one, too.

greg775 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I see the Astros have called up Abreu. How come so many players are losing the ability to hit at age 37? It used to be guys could hit until 40 or so (Fisk and that generation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are definitely not going to sign him, because he would most certainly call the White Sox the worst team in baseball on his way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh but they 'confirmed it' because a report mumbled a follow-up question "did you say team or teammate?" "probably". Lesson to Bryan Ramos that the Anglophone media is going to use your English-language skills against you. I'd just keep speaking in Spanish through a translator, personally. Thanks a lot, journalism.

Some follow-up news is that his kid is apparently in and out of the hospital receiving transplants for a rare genetic disorder and it was the kid's birthday yesterday. I feel for the guy, frankly, it was dumb to throw his glove and be like "I don't care" afterward, but the Mets organization might also be understanding the context, particularly when he's a pretty good pitcher and their staff makes ours look like the 1998 Braves. Getz me thinking about David Stearns and Chris Getz, two guys at new jobs who are perceived very differently by baseball fans. Stearns is apparently a genius while Getz is unqualified and a crony. Seems to me that Stearns hasn't had a very good first year on the job, struck out on Counsell with no backup plan and has put together one of the worst teams in the sport at the low, low cost of 2.5 times the White Sox payroll. Most of his free agent signings have been a bust. Manaea and Severino have been pretty good, but it's amusing that Stearns thought it wise to pay them a combined $41mil and didn't seem to consider Fedde at 15 million. Stearns has many more tools to work with (unlimited money), but is he really doing a better job than Getz? Because the Metz seem like a disaster.

greg775 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Bear with me as I say NO PITCHERS are worth hefty contracts anymore. NONE of them. Cease tonight goes 5 1/3 gives up three earned runs. Strikes out five, walks one. Big deal. These guys if they can only pitch 5 should be paid squat. They are just a dime a dozen folks. Now the old days, eight innings or 8 1/3? Yeah pay them.
