His defense puts him over the top. I don't think he gets in based on offense alone. That was my first take. He was brought up as a defensive specialist and only later really ramped up his offensive production. He's a little short on offensive power and production, but he has always been lights out defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Domingo German pitched a great game today going 7 strong innings and beat the Sawks 9-2. He is 14 and 2. Maybe a possible Cy Young? And DJ LaMahieu smacked 2 homeruns today. Talk about a great acquisition, the guy has been on fire all season! Go Yanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Yanks Would have to think Verlander is the leading AL Cy Young candidate right now. His WHIP and WAR are significantly better than German's, with the same number of wins.

Proud2BAHoosier Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 The Yanks completed a double header sweep of Boston on Saturday. But it came at a cost. In the first game , Encarnacion fractured his wrist while getting hit by a pitch. In the second game, Hicks injured his shoulder while making a throw from the outfield to 3rd base. Boone was using call up players I had not heard of! this year's Yankee team reminds me of last year's Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Meanwhile the Astros got a no hitter from newly acquired pitcher from the Blue Jays who had an era North of 6! One of the relievers who also pitched, was also from the Jays. I think Houston has to be the WS favorites. Thanks Cashman 😠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 I know the Yankees are very, very good....but maybe that World Series thing is real. Red Sox 13.5 back, 7 game losing streak and no deals at deadline. Not saying they are white flagging the season but that title team looks dead.

Proud2BAHoosier Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Don"t get me wrong, as a Yankee fan, I"m enjoying the beat down the Sawks are getting. But I also am wondering what is wrong with them. Aren" t they the same team as last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more of backhanded compliment to the job the Cubs did in 2017. Red Sox are basically same team and are 5.5 out of Wild Card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
