checking in north of the border...the Blue Jays (7-8) are playing their 16th game today...without George.

highly unlikely he will reach the 140-games-played plateau in 2021. And it's looking shaky for the 130-games-played mark

Also easier to find a corner OF than CF. That said, Griffey had 2 9 WAR seasons while Ted had 4 11 WAR seasons. The correct answer between the two is easily Ted. Given choice of any OF in their prime I'm going with Mantle though.


I thing you have to keep in mind is how much better players have gotten. Not sure if Ted regularly saw 98+ And sliders that break two feet all game every game. Not saying I don't think Ted would be good today. Just that you have to keep that in mind.

This is the only argument that can be made.

I have never been one to really buy into stuff about leagues favoring any team over another...but it sure as sh-t seems like the Astros are definitely getting screwed by MLB.

I'd be mad too. If we can get Altuve, Bregman and Alvarez by the Angels series then we will be fine. But if they miss that series then something is seriously wrong with the rules (they suck already but that would be really bad and hard to justify)

Luckily the bullpen got a rest yesterday. I'm guessing we see Bielak, Solomon or Garcia by the 4th

Hopefully he gets a couple of quick innings otherwise he's getting lifted in the 3rd

Food for thought.

If you brought a pitcher up at age 22, and he pitched 18 seasons, in which he struck out exactly 300 batters a season - which has only been done by 18 pitchers ever in the past 117 years - when he got to age 40, he'd still be 311 strikeouts behind Nolan Ryan's career record.

Translated: we have a roster crunch problem, and we don't want to say anything that will keep us from putting him on 60-day IL retroactively to save a 40-man spot.

Ugly inning for the Mariners. Take what we can get. I assume the sun is who we can thank for that outfield blunder

Glad to be wrong and Odorizzi keeping that pitch count lower.

I thought there was no way he sees the 5th inning. Hell of a job turning this thing around after a ****ty 1st inning

Dusty needs to find a way to keep McCormick in the line up.

I'd be okay with him and Straw splitting CF duties this season.
