Yankees (Stroman) vs Brewers (Myers): 4/28/24, 1:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Yesterday was one game. Move on and get the series win.

[treego14]

With Myers, Yankees fans will be criers!

We won't be bummin' even though we face Stroman!

[Brian]

I wasn't sure where to post this but since the game hasn't started yet I will post it here.  It is about Shohei Ohtani, 

I guess Shohei Ohtani is pretty good. 

On MLB Network this morning, 1 month into the season Shohei has 6 Dodger team records already.  

He has the hardest hit ball at 119 mph the MLB average is 107

Passed Hideki Matsui for a Japanese born player with most HR's at 176 home runs, 

He hit 6 home runs this week, a Dodger record.

Hitting .421 the past week leading the MLB and .371 for the year a Dodger record.

Highest OPS in MLB, over 150, (which is batting average plus extra base hits.)

With counting walks a .560 on base percentage a Dodger and MLB record.

and walked 24 times which is second in the MLB.

WOW! 

They even showed Freddie Freeman in the dugout saying WOW, WOW after he launched a HR.

Plus he has 4 stolen bases, not a record but he is fast also.

While waiting for the game can someone tell me if there is anyone out there we could possible get to fill in the rotation at this point

 

we are at unsustainable levels unless we just want to tank the season.   Which I guess is reasonable

In a world of hyperbole everyone is quick to anoint the greatest of all time

 but I have no problem saying this dude is one of the greatest players in baseball history.

Brandon Belt signed a 1 year , $9,300,000 contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, including $9,300,000 guaranteed. He would be the 3rd highest player on the team. With back spasms and a knee injury and another first baseman. He is 35 year old DH now with a .250 average. That is probably why they won't.

Lots of drawbacks. We will end up like the Mets. 

[Brian]

Maybe because he is well rested.

Milwaukee Brewers activated DH Jake Bauers from the bereavement list. 

[82brewcrew82]

Yea pitching.

 

[edfunderburk]

The Yankees might hit 325 homers if they played 81 games in Milwaukee

They don’t have to offer him what he made in 2023. This is free agency, not arbitration. Belt said last month that nobody really reached out to him. If he wants to play, he wouldn’t be too choosy.

 

on the plus side, Bauers just struck out 🙄

[markedman5]

That ball needs to be caught by Chourio 

[edfunderburk]

Chourio needs to spend another year in the minors

Sure doesn't look ready to me.

[82brewcrew82]

All the OF prospect hype and Perkins is the one that is going to pop.

[82brewcrew82]

Yea offense

 

[nate82]

Had a pitch to hit just swung a bit over it.

[BruisedCrew]

I HATE. sacrificing in the second inning. 

[markedman5]

Contreras and Adames can’t get it done……

Neither does Bauers, to the surprise of no one. 

[82brewcrew82]

LOL, new offense same as the old offense.

[folly412]

2-3-4 can't bring in a guy from third.  Guess Frelick should have just kept running.  

[BruisedCrew]

I also hate a lineup that has Jake Bauers batting cleanup.
