I've got him at 5-29 with 11 strikeouts so far with the Mets which with the exception of maybe 2 more hits and probably one of those being a home run is exactly what he did for the Cubs the last couple of seasons. H won't be able to change this year but for his own sake I really hope he takes this off season and figures out a whole new way in the box. He's going to leave at least $100M on the table if he doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) Anthony Rizzo out of Yankees lineup. Tested positive for Covid. Not a good time to be out the lineup for awhile nor a nice birthday gift. I have no proof other than learning how to understand Cub speak over the years.....but Jed made a few comments back in June about players/leaders on the team causing harm by not getting vaccinated. Bad timing for our Yankees brethren on here. Edited August 8, 2021 by Seeking6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted August 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 One of those pointless, but fun reads. Do you agree with the pick for your favorite team? The Reds' choice is obvious and non-debatable. https://www.mlb.com/news/future-retired-mlb-jersey-numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Yankees can't seem to catch a break with the injury bug that has plagued them the past 3 seasons Although not an injury, newly acquired Anthony Rizzo has been placed on covid quarantine. He joins starting pitchers Cole and Montgomery on the covid list. Yanks bought up a pitcher from triple A to start todays game. Pitchers Kluber and Severino may be close to coming back as well as Gio Urshela. Yanks only 5.5 games back in the AL East. Go Yanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Maybe the Reds should have kept Suarez put of the lineup. His bad defense cost us a run and is down 1-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jv1972iu Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) Reds sweep Pirates 3-2. 12 straight wins against the Pirates at home. Longest streak since 1939, I believe they said. 😊 Keep applying pressure to both the Brewers and Padres.

IU Scott Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Just looked at the schedules this week for both the Reds and Brewers and it looks like the Brewers have a huge advantage.

Going off memory from another site, the winning pcts. of remaining opponents: Padres .520 Brewers .500 Reds .470 I do believe Cincy has the 2nd easiest schedule in the NL(Philly).

Seeking6 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 White Sox are 16-22 on the year vs .500 or better teams. That's my contribution for the day. Finding stats that make my teams enemies look bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears to me that the Chisox are the only team in MLB whose division lead is safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The D-Backs' lead for the celler spot in the NL West is pretty secure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
