This has GOT to be one of the very few meetings between pitchers named Max, right?
Maybe Judge should play left and Cody right.
If only someone had suggested batting Rice after Judge…
Definitely need to drop Rice in the lineup.
Also, if Scherzer’s back is acting up, why even start him here? Surely they have SOMEone who could make a spot start for them.
Why is Kay constantly plugging the Sex And The City sequel?
Does a better SS get to that?
.
Good question. Either way, can’t be giving up RBI singles to IKF.
When I saw they picked him up the other day, I seriously thought, “Watch him play well against the Yankees next week.”
Grrrr.
I’m not sure I’d brag about having control of Bird and Doval just yet.
Fried not looking sharp, a 3-0 lead about to be blown.
And just like that Fried and phenom.
Rice is not a good 1B and phenom’s fielding has looked scared like he’s afraid to make a mistake so of course he does.
The thought of the Yankees beating Toronto in a series would be an affront to the Newtonian laws of Physics.
Judge had his pitch and fouled it off before walking.
Yeah, even earlier in the season, when he was pitching well, Toronto has given Fried a ton of problems.
I think he struggles with teams that make a lot of good contact, as he pitches to contact.
A serious major league team doesn’t play a minor leaguer at SS every day.
It really does seem like it would make more sense to play Caballero there more often.
They are unserious.
