I'll take a stab at it... Astros, Padres, Rangers, Cubs... that's all I got. Cleveland maybe? Somewhere in the AL Central.

Former Astro Phil Nevin.

Former Yankee too

never a Yankee (or at least never played for the Yanks, was a coach). But did play for seven different organizations in the league.

If you can name them all consider yourself an MLB savant.

He was a 3B coach for them in 2019 at least.

Dusty Baker on Blake Taylor: “It looks like right now he’ll be out a while. It’s not what we had feared…Tommy John six or seven years ago. It looks like we might have dodged a bullet.” Wasn’t ready to be specific about the timeline or the diagnosis.

Astros are now calling Taylor’s injury “left elbow inflammation” rather than discomfort. https://t.co/csg9ks3RyM

Valdez needs to get more work at 3B. He's played there in the past.

Alex Bregman talked about his hitting approach, as well as how pitchers are throwing at him differently over the years. https://t.co/hGlrcXE88K

Taylor may have dodged a bullet but I'm not sure that means the Astros did…..

Dusty Baker on if there’ll be any carryover from last night:”It probably was a carryover from last year.That’s what happens when u play a club a lot.Then u get bad blood &the blood doesn’t dissipate-I’ve seen it a lot” Doesn’t know if the umps will issue warnings before the game”

— Mark Berman (@MarkBermanFox26) June 7, 2022

JV better have a long leash from the umps. He's earned it. I don't recall him ever head hunting and retaliating.

hmm..not sure about this one. Logically, it makes sense. Mechanically, too many ways to screw yourself up

Quote:

---

Bregman: "I think you've got to have a lot of different swings if you want to be able to cover every pitch. I don't think you can cover an elite four-seamer up in the zone and an elite sinker down in the zone with the same swing, You have to either make an eye adjustment on where you're trying to swing, or you need to have a swing adjustment on how you're trying to hit that pitch. The [bat] path you take is going to be different for those two pitches."

---

More from the article

Quote:

---

"Early this year, I've mechanically not been where I want to be with my swing. I do feel like I've done a pretty good job of swinging at good pitches to hit, and taking balls. I actually found some mechanical things today [May 18] that should help out throughout the rest of the season, help me to do some damage."

Laurila: Can you elaborate?

Bregman: "My hand load has been a little bit inconsistent over the last few years. The wrist position of my top hand… we changed it today, and it felt pretty good."

Since May 18 (16 games) Bregman is
11/58 for .189
4 XBH, 1 being a HR
6 RBI

James Click says @astros r communicating w/MLB about what happened last night w/the Mariners: “We’ve had some conversations w/the league.I’m sure we’ll have some updates about it given what happened. Main thing is we want to get back to playing the game..get the focus on winning”

— Mark Berman (@MarkBermanFox26) June 7, 2022

Bregman has never gotten his swagger back since the cheating scandal was announced. It's always felt like he took it really personally and hasn't been able to get back to being "Alex Bregman, cocky a*hole who you would hate if he wasn't on your team." He takes way too many close pitches for balls and then doesn't get his pitch later in the count and whiffs or pops out.

Phil Nevin is such an Astros' asterisk. #1 pick from our godawful 65-97 1991 year of rebuilding where Bags, Finley, Gonzo, Harnisch, and Schilling all joined the team. Forever known for being the #1 overall pick in the year that Derek Jeter went #5. Rest of the first round was "meh" - Jason Kendall and Johnny Damon were the only other +_+ guys to come out of the first round.

Put in a full year at Tucson in 1993 - 93 RBI, .286 Avg. 94 again in Tucson dipped to .263. Started '95 in Tucson again and hit .292 in 62 games, got brought up to the show, and hit .117 in 18 games for the Astros, and they traded him to the Tigers at the trade deadline for friggin MIke Henneman who pitched in 21 games, had 8 saves, and did not help us make the playoffs, then signed with the Rangers in the off-season.

Bregman looks too stiff. He's always had a short compact swing but to me the muscle he added stiffened him up and maybe slowed him down at the same time. If you are going to stand on top of the plate like he does you better be fast. And he doesn't seem fast.

Excited to be at the game tonight, haven't seen Verlander pitch in person in a while

LFG!

I'll be there tonight. 315

Niko Goodrum went on the injured list at Triple-A Sugar Land. Joe Perez is still on the IL, too. Taylor Jones and Jake Meyers are beginning their rehab assignments. It leaves the Astros with one available position player on their 40-man roster in case of emergency: J.J. Matijevic

Héctor Neris has been suspended four games.

— Chandler Rome (@Chandler_Rome) June 7, 2022

Unless appealed, the suspension of Neris is scheduled to begin tonight. If Neris elects to appeal, then his discipline will be held in abeyance until that process is complete. Baker must serve his suspension on Tuesday.

— Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) June 7, 2022

Dusty Baker suspended one game and won't manage tonight. Joe Espada will manage the Astros.

Baker, Scott Servais, Omar Lopez, Troy Snitker and Espada were all fined an undisclosed amount.

— Chandler Rome (@Chandler_Rome) June 7, 2022

It's complete BS that Servais isn't suspended too

I think the fact he is suspended and Ryan wasn't says something about what the league thinks about what happened Sunday.

I know Click said they've been in communication with the MLB and they want to just get back to playing ball, but for the players - one of the guys essentially getting suspended because Servais is an idiot might just cause some sparks in either of these last two games.

For all the Maldonado defenders of him "calling a great game"…we officially have the worst hitting catchers in baseball history

There's another guy contributing to that who should be the first to go.

Still goaltending. I knew this board wouldn't disappoint

Neris and Dusty getting suspended has to be just league protocol right?

Like if you get tossed after a warning you also get suspended.

Because that's complete BS.
