Which word do you believe means longevity, "Donnie" or "baseball"?

ok, ludicrous moniker for a guy whose gaudy RBI totals were fueled by Rickey Henderson

I knew Rickey was talented but I didn't know he engineered Donnie's OPS, pretty cool

it was a measure of his greatness that for a while, when someone referred to 'lefty', everyone in both leagues knew they meant steve carlton
if you're gonna call a guy 'baseball', he should probably be a generational talent -- and donnie was merely very good. just ask keith hernandez

wtf have any position players ever been referred to as "Lefty"?
― DACA Flocka Flame (Hadrian VIII), Tuesday, 17 April 2018 15:35 (six years ago) link
anyway the nickname derives from his makeup, i.e. he would not likely have earned it had he been a coked up clubhouse cancer (ahem)
― DACA Flocka Flame (Hadrian VIII), Tuesday, 17 April 2018 15:40 (six years ago) link
i likely wdn't put Keith 17 in the Hall either, but he's only a clubhouse cancer to Whitey Herzog (maybe)

Stanton's homer swings yesterday looked like something out of a beer league softball game.
That throw clip was really impressive both from how it was shot and Judge's throw being that good.

To me, Sanchez looks kinda uncomfortable behind the plate and not all that mobile. I might be seeing him play on a pitcher/catcher off night, but he seems to often be on another page where he sets up and where the pitch comes in. I've seen him give up a couple of wild ones by seeming to try to glove stuff instead of moving his body. Sanchez's dWAR numbers on baseball reference seem to say he is pretty average with the glove.

very Metsy
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Wednesday that the three-week time frame the team had originally outlined for Aaron Judge's return from a wrist injury was overly optimistic.
"We thought maybe three weeks would cover it, but it's going to be longer than that," Cashman told WFAN 101.9 FM's Mike Francesa in a live radio interview. "So, we missed on the time frame."
As of now, there is no updated timetable.

Coley Harvey, ESPN Staff Writer:
Aaron Boone on Aaron Judge's return, following Andrew McCutchen's signing: "We're still optimistic in the plan. The belief is he'll be back with plenty of time." Boone says he also sees McCutchen as someone who can hit throughout the lineup, but a "definite" leadoff option.
