Of course we've done that. Facepalm...
Big fan on this idea personally. Don't think German is quite ready yet, tho his early starts have looked good. Boston are a fantastic team as well, and it'll only take a small slip up before they're back in the AL East lead.

Jays leading 3-1 in the ninth, enter Tyler Clippard (a closer who can’t close), now down 5-3 & have 3 outs left. Second blown save in a few days, lovely
Wild one in Arlington. Texas win 12-10, after being down 4-0 and 10-5 at stages.
Yanks have the best bullpen in the league, but they got fair and square beat up tonight.

Clippard is horribly overrated.

I’m traveling at the moment & was watching this & NBA, crazy game. Can’t recall who it was for the Rangers, but a 3rd strike in the dirt meant he made first. Reached second after a wild pickoff attempt, stole third & then got batted in lol
It’s a shame Osuna is out, but it shouldn’t mean clippard should stay in
Pretty sure it was Nomar Mazara.

A really interesting story: https://www.si.com/mlb/2018/05/16/luke-heimlich-oregon-state
I read about that. The very definition of a no-win situation.

He pleaded guilty to the charge of molesting his 6-year old niece when he was 15 years old, but denies he committed the crime and blames the guilty plea on bad legal advice at the time.
He was originally charged with two offences, but in a plea deal, one of the charges was dropped, he was placed on two years probation, took court-ordered classes and had to register as a sex offender for five years. He also had to write a letter apologising to his niece.
It turns out that he was required to update his whereabouts for a state registry of sex offenders and there was a mix-up by the police, which led to him receiving a police citation which of course is public, and reporters picked up on it.
The five-year requirement to register as a sex offender expired in August 2017 and his court records were sealed.
He was draft-eligible last year, but after withdrawing from the team when his offence became public, he wasn't selected, so he returned to OSU for the current season.

I don't think anyone actually rates him, he just has closer experience, that's all.

What makes him an arsehole? serious question, I haven't seen/read much to say he's one.

I don't know about Oregon specifically, and haven't read either of those articles yet, but much of America has sillier definitions of "sex offender" than Australia. A 17-year-old who *s a 15-year-old can be a "sex offender" for life there.

Need more explanation for J-Bats

Welcome aboard. There's a few of us Yankee fans around. I'm only new to this thread as well.
Goddamn, Gleyber Torres looks like he'll be something special.

Another 6-out save. Probably my favourite Phillie on this team. Great start to his career.

Yanks have killed the Astros during the regular season, tide has turned the last 2 times they've met in the playoffs. who knows what will happen if they meet there again.
