    Tough sledding for Bregman this year. The Turtle only has 2 nights of 800 OPS on his season stats which happened first week of the season. Every other day has been low 700s, and now it's below 700. Tough times for Turtle.

    Zack Greinke would be a better DH than those two

    It was inevitable with Yordan. Dude is glass.

    I guess that’s everyone now

    Yordan (age 28) reminds me of Bagwell when he was about to retire (age 37)

    Back in the good old days when starters threw 140 pitches and players were rarely injured.

    I was just about write the same. Talking like Yordan is book it 150 game a year DH for decade dude is nonsense. Also "is not worth the hype" is just rambling without thought. Yordan is glass and sometimes he forgets that and does some Bambi on ice like slide or silly move to injure himself. Fatigue will raise the odds day by day. Saying it's 162 you know does't change the genetics of a person.

    About the age. Averige is about 2,5y older than documented for latin players outside US. Soto looked like 28yo when 19yo. Haven't changed much physicly. Mets might be looking pretty rough last 5y of that contract :). Teams don't wanna make ruckus about it if they paid 100m for guy who they need fans to cheer for.

    I wish the Astros would wait for the first pick off attempt before they attempt a steal.

    2 outs on the bases in one hour.

    Astros are short bus.
