Buck looked like my little league coach after that play.
Be that as it may, you have to win the argument, and that's why we're foundering at $12 a pop after CD approval. It was easily predictable that the Botox war chest would spare no expense to hang onto their market share, and that countering the noise about potential Daxxi problems would be RVNC's biggest challenge.
In this regard, the company has been as good as its share price.
You don't have to tell me. I saw the replay of Donaldson's home run yesterday. He stood there like a statue at the plate and admired it....like he has on many a double in the past. Bad habits die hard. Just hoping he gets hot for 6 weeks and doesn't poison the clubhouse.
Except Hicks and Donaldson!
More importantly, what's the deal with the polar bear? I keep seeing his name in the same sentence as "trade value" and it's well known the Mets almost moved him at the trade deadline. I don't get it. What's the resistance to locking this guy up long term?
Donaldson getting measured for his statue in Milwaukee! Looks like the guy just needed a chance!
Give it a bit of time. Can't expect the axe to fall on day 1, especially with the Mets weirdly pretending to hold off on Stearns appointment until the end of the season. I can't see any reason Stearns would want Eppler around.
Brewers add Donaldson to the active roster. Monasterios has been swinging a decent bat. His glove is sketchy, but I'm not sure it's THAT sketchy.
12 innings of no hit ball should get the job done. Speaks to how effective Cole was. And how inept the Brewers bats can be. Burnes can't wait to get out of town!
To think the 1998 Yankees did all of that without analytics, launch angles, exit velocity and spin rates.
Those Bombers resorted to more traditional methods, for sure: https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Yankees-implicated-in-performance-enhancing-drug-3295306.php
Maybe if the Balco lab was still running they would!

Through 3 innings, the Brewers are doing their part to help Seve secure a multi-year contract. Pathetic swings. Making the guy look like Catfish Hunter!
I'm hoping for 7 run Seve. With rain limiting the game to 5 innings.
Brewers are walking a tight rope to get this division won. Aside from a hot streak a couple weeks ago, they're still a team that can't hit and need their pitching to give up fewer than 2 runs every game.
Ha! Have you seen their line up? Canha is in the running for 2023 Most Valuable Brewer. Just a bit behind Carlos Santana.
Statement game in LA tonight. If the Braves don't cruise to the NL pennant, it's a huge upset. I can't remember seeing a team this stacked, except of course the 2023 championship caliber squad in the Bronx!
Uh oh. Don't like the look of this for the Crew: The club announced Thursday that they have signed Donaldson to a Minor League contract. The 37-year-old will report to Triple-A Nashville and will be eligible for Brewers’ postseason roster, should they make it, as he signed before the end of August.
Another one for the Cashman "let's just pretend this never happened" scrapbook. Going to need a few extra pages.
....but never know what is going on behind the scene.
True, that. Haven't for years.
Plenty of seats in Queens next season if the Bronx is too pricey.
Always expecting something big....next quarter.
I love Counsell, don't get me wrong, but I don't know how he'd fare in the Bronx. There's definitely styles of leadership that suit different teams, different markets, and in that regard, NY is unique. Counsell is perfect for the Crew; local guy, knows the vibe and team role in a small town setting. He's been screwed out of Manager of the Year award twice, but hopefully that will change this season because he certainly deserves it.
MLB is a players' league. Managers don't have the power they once wielded. Their wings have been clipped not only by the $$ the players are earning, but also by the front-office-analytics-26 year old PHd geeks, whose role in baseball has eclipsed the cagey veteran with his 45 years of real-life experience. Gone are the days of "you get the players and I'll decide how to use them". They've been replaced by the daily phone call, where Cashy can relay the data from his stats crew to Boone so that Boone is set straight on who to play and how to manage the next game. And from what I've seen of the Yanks this year, many of these guys play like they have no hunger left for the game.
The Brewers are young. Youngsters in Milwaukee know that they must toe the line or they're back to AAA ball. They also know that if they play hard, they'll be pencilled in every day until the player has had a fair chance to prove himself. When the Crew sent Hiura back to the minors, Hiura was the least surprised person on the team. The Brewers are also very selective in the veterans that they sign. Clubhouse presence still matters in Milwaukee.
In the Bronx, youngsters play scared. The message from the Yanks' front office is that the young guns shouldn't be at the MLB level. They're only there to hold a space until some old, washed up veteran returns from his 4th trip to the IL this season.
What the Yanks need is an old-school manager who kicks some ass and calls players out in public when they dog it, but they'll never hire this type of guy, because the Yanks want a manager whose finest quality is Submission. To the players and to the front office.
To be honest, the Yanks front office looks like a case of too many chiefs and not enough hats. I suspect this is part of Cashman's insurance and insulation plan- to paraphrase Harry Truman: the buck stops there.
Not even September and there's nothing left for Yanks fans but to keep putting in the boot. That's better than a month of ripping everyone associated with the organisation who isn't named Judge.
I think Cashman stays. They'll gloss over his ineptitude by casting a wider net over his tenure as Yanks GM, sprinkled in with the injuries excuse. Learn to love your Cashhole, cause you're stuck with him.
And that leaves Boone as the one to be chucked under the bus. Hardly fair in that I doubt any manager could win much with this disaster of a roster, but someone has to go, and the hitting coach alone isn't enough.
The numbers don't lie: Yanks have really fallen hard since Donaldson hit the IL.
The Bruins..... speaking of heartbreakers!
Awful quiet around here today. Oh yeah, Severino's pitching!
Across town, the Nats are a game away from crawling over the Mets and up sand out of the cellar.
When does hockey start, 😂?
Looks like those top 2 performing mutual funds are back in the money, now that they've left New York. Scherzer and Verlander are looking like aces for the Rangers and stros, who I'm sure are delighted that Cohen is paying them to pitch next year.
The Mets had a plan and bailed on it. Was the plan the problem or was the bailing the problem?
Brewers sweep! Granted it's the White Sox, and the first 3 games were nailbiters, but hey, you gotta beat the palookas to build a cushion for the tought schedule ahead.
The core 3 starters are healthy and pitching well. Even Canha is helping out.
Middle of August and they're still in with a shot- that's a good season for Crew fans
Too early to say, really. I'm thinking that with the Yanks rotation and paltry offense, IKF has between 10 and 25 more innings this season to prove his mettle on the mound. And with the hot bat he's been swinging...well, anything could happen, especially considering that Ohtani is on a team that won't make the playoffs and IKF is on a championship caliber team.
No comparison here between IKF and Gleyber. Yes, Gleyber has better offensive numbers, but can he come in to pitch when there's a steaming Severino pile that needs cleaning up? Which is about every 4-5 days lately.
Gotta go with the IKF 2 way arsenal.
Nice list. I guess you could also say the Yankees have 0 prospects in the top 50.
Huge run differential for the Cubs. Easily the best in that division.
Off course Baty was sent down. Buck's gotta find time for Mendick!!! Why is that guy even on the frickin roster?
Thanks for thumping the Cubs. Brewers need all the help they can get.
Yup. Not so much crowing now about how Cashstrap schooled Jeter with the Stanton deal.
Who's paying now?
All these Mets mistakes this season make me wonder if there's any player leadership in the clubhouse. Sure, it's all well and good to be lovey dovey and pat each other on the azz when times are tough, but sometimes you need an enforcer in the clubhouse to kick some azz when teammates aren't playing the game the right way. Sort of an anti -Baez thumbs -down-let's-corrupt-weak-minded-Lindor guy. Who is it on this team?
Totally agree about the pitching. Milwaukee can't hit. At all. But pitching has kept them relevant late in the season for the past 6 years. Not that the Brewers have ever done it, but hitting can be added at the trade deadline.
Right now, the Mets are like the Reds.... except not nearly as fast, exciting or fun to watch.
Of bigger concern to Mets fans is who's calling the front office shots. You might very well have another Peter Angelos on your hands, albeit with a fatter ego and checkbook. What's happened in Metville this year is the equivalent of the Orioles cutting ties with Glenn Davis the first season he didn't hit 50 homers and paying his full salary for another team to roll the dice.
There's certainly nothing to indicate the Mets have learned anything from the debacle that is this season, but I guess fans won't know about that til next year.
Easy to believe. Did you see what the O's gave up for a rental of Flaherty?
Look, Eppy has made some sketchy trades this week, but the core is still intact: he kept Vogelbach to build around!!!! LOL, what a fiasco! Makes you pine away for the Wilpon days!!!!
