Funny you bring up Trout, guess who has better numbers at this point in his career?David_Puddy said:
Jesus, not even 2 full years in the league and you're trying to compare him to guys like Trout and others that have been around almost 3x as long as he has. Bregman is playing at superstar level right now, which is exactly what he said. That's not debatable yet you're continuing to try and bring up an apples to oranges comparison.

Can we get back to Terann Hilow and 69?
Speaking of superstar, uh, level....
Not a chance. Once they saw that the dude's glove touched the ball and changed its trajectory, with the LF under the ball, he's out. Plain and simple. There is zero chance the fan's jersey played any part of this. They saw the replay and spent what... 10 seconds on it? It was one of the quickest reviews in baseball that I've seen this year.JJxvi said:
Basically Bregman thinks he wouldnt have caught it and the Rockies thought he would have. The umpires and replay officials ended up agreeing with the Rockies, but according to the rules they were absolutely not required to make that ruling, they could have gone the other way. Its a matter of opinion with this rule, and IMO they probably would have sided with the Astros if the guy hadnt had a Verlander jersey on.
The fan allegiance wouldn't have changed this call no matter how many times you state it as your opinion.
Well, will you at least admit that I'm right about the fact that when you wrote this...
what you really meant was this...Quote:
From the wording of the rule:
"If the umpire judges that the fielder could have caught the ball over the field (i.e., the ball would have not crossed over the plane of the wall), he will rule the batter out on spectator interference."

Bregman is a mini Mike Trout
Can 88jrt06 please dissect the meaning of "mini". Very important we are extremely precise when discussing athletes.

Wow, that was....so bad.
Huge news from the Yanks....
Judge gets wrist chip fracture, cannot even swing a bat for 3-4 weeks.
Early projections have him back after Labor Day at best. Maybe later.
IMO, that ensures the BoSox win the division, and the Yanks face wild card world.
Stat: Last 2 years, Yankees (with a pretty gaudy o'all record) are 5-10 w/o Judge in the lineup.

I'd love to play Cleveland in the ALDS and then play the winner of the Yankees/Sox. Or who the hell knows, maybe the Mariners/As can bring their A game 1 time and knock off the Evil Empire if the standings hold through the end of the regular season.
don't know if I'd be excited about facing Bauer, Kluber, Clevinger/Carrasco.
Yankees have the bats, but other than Severino their starting pitchers aren't anything to be concerned bout. And that includes Happ

Well even with that starting pitching, they've lost 1 less game than the Astros. Yankees bats scare the hell out of me.
no doubt their bats are scary, but in playoffs I'd much rather face the worse pitching staff.
The very possible 100+ wins, even w/o Judge....gee, isn't that...kinda significant?BMX Bandit said:

Most would say that the Yanks are a better team than the Tribe, all-in-all...
Regardless, it would be so great to see the Skanks win 100, then a WC one and done.
I'd tune in for the booing!
If the team with most wins in regular season is what matters, why play the playoffs?
The Yankees being better overall isn't the discussion we were having.

See ya Giles.
Houston has acquired Ryan Pressly from the Twins in exchange for minor league pitcher Jorge Alcala and outfield prospect Gilberto Celestino, the teams announced Friday.

It's the middle of the season, pitchers get tired and fall into a bad rythmn. Adding this arm will shake things up and bring in a new focus. Plus it will give everyone a role.
Losing to the GD rangers
'Tuve to the DL
Anyone going to be there today? We're going to be in 328.
Astros trotting out a AAA lineup without Altuve and Correa.
Going with my wife's office. Will be in 129.

It is time for some of the role players to start shouldering the load for a bit. Looking at Mr. Gattis and Marwin, but also Reddick and Yuli too. If last year wasn't lightning in a bottle, the small names need to pick it up for a while and pet the big names take a little break.

Yep. It appears that everyone has gone in the tank at the same time.
