On the topic of money: How much does insurance come into consideration when an owner refuses to sign a pitcher to a long term contract? I mean, it's gotta be harder to get Lloyds to insure that, right?

It's gotten really hard to get insurance on athletes

If the blue jays want to remember how to score runs I could get behind that for them

Wow, did Michael A. Taylor shave his head?

17 of the Yankees’ 33 batters today have reached base. Lots of walks

Kepler out, Wallner in.....Twins dropping like flies.

I’ll never forget covering a Cubs-Twins series at Wrigley during a brutal heat wave. So many Minnesota players left the game due to heat illness or cramping that Willians Astudillo made his MLB debut in left field and then moved over to center, before starting the next game at third. Was awful for the players, but it was a joy to see La Tortuga roam the outfield.

I will never get tired of seeing Aaron Judge walk through the dugout looking like a highschooler coaching little league

Yankees have come back from a 4-0 deficit to lead 5-4. eight walks today!

speaking of Verdugo, who's the best baseball player to play on both the Red Sox and Yankees in their career - not counting Babe Ruth?
AvatarJay Jaffe
6:14
Probably Roger Clemens or Rickey Henderson.

Boggs is up there, Ruffin and Pennock and Cone
Who's the best player who ONLY played for both? Ellsbury?
Matt Martell
6:19
Elston Howard?

Not the best, but Johny Damon had some solid years

Clemens has to be up there for best yankees/sox crossover non-ruth

no Johny Damon Love?
Who the F is Jason Foley?

Anyone understand why Singleton is on the 'Stros?
Davy Andrews

Oh wow, I hadn't looked up his numbers until now.

I had assumed that Dusty liked him but not sure now

Jason Foley is underrated

Is "Michael Conforto and the Giants" really a great production sizzle sentence?

Jason Foley played college ball at Sacred Heart. Last season the Tigers rostered 2 players from Sacred Heart, a tiny school in Fairfield, CT. Nick Short was the other one.

The Dodger game is at the point where Orel is telling stories about the kinds of free meals Tommy Lasorda would get when he was in StL (he and Davis are so much fun regardless of the score/opponent)

Tigers using shots of Gio Urshela staring down the camera for their commecial bumpers has to be worse than Conforto and the Giants
AvatarJay Jaffe
6:21
Nothing against Urshela or Conforto but damn, this is bleak and misguided. Both teams have more exciting players to focus on.

Singleton is on the Astros because their other 1B options to Abreu are two catchers and Yordan Alvarez and I guess they'd rather put up an 0-fer than play any of those guys in the field
RTJ
6:23
OK but you can't pick more than 1! That's cheating
AvatarJay Jaffe

Clemens is the clear answer if you're going by WAR. Rickey is a fun curveball because few people think of him as being  a member of either of those teams (he only played 72 games for Boston, at age 43).

Oneil Cruz with a homer!
Opposite field in Miami.
