And he's very fast.Looks like I may have been too early in writing off DeShields Jr.. He has been very good so far and taking advantage of the opportunity to play.
Yep. He definitely inherited his dads speed.And he's very fast.
Speed doesn't matter if you're half a retard on the base paths. That's what he looked like in the Rays series at times. Maybe it was just a bad few days.Yep. He definitely inherited his dads speed.
Didn't get to see the series. Must have just been off because I've heard not nothing but glowing reviews on his play lately. I will take the 100+ steals he had in 2012, though.Speed doesn't matter if you're half a retard on the base paths. That's what he looked like in the Rays series at times.

Just a bad few days. Trying to extend to third on that one play was stupid. I didn't get to see the rest of the series.Speed doesn't matter if you're half a retard on the base paths. That's what he looked like in the Rays series at times. Maybe it was just a bad few days.
One play that stands out in my mind was him standing about 10 ft from 2nd just dumbfounded as Beckham was holding the ball. He should have been sliding into 3rd as Beckham caught it.Just a bad few days. Trying to extend to third on that one play was stupid. I didn't get to see the rest of the series.
Nice Deuce. Rays are playing well and have a ton of guys on DL. Impressive.I guess TonyD is done with us since the Yankees are in 1st place and he hasn't been around to gloat about it for a month. Would've been nice to get into it with him this week after the Rays dismantled them.
RIP

Yanks lead season series even after what you call a dismantling this week. Yanks bats are slumping and Rays pitching aided that.
You just had to go and poke the bear.....
Speak of the devil.
With how easily the Yanks took care of the Rays prior to this week, it feels good to put together a good series against them. Both teams are going to need starting pitching to improve to stay atop the division.
It's not a true baseball thread without a representative from the evil empire.You just had to go and poke the bear.....
I'm pretty sure Joe Madden hired a sniper to take out Gregory Polanco.
That organization needs to start rethinking their approach. Are they going to try to contend or what? You can make the case that Matt Harvey is the best pitcher in baseball right now. Syndergaard is up, DeGrom is good, Fat Bart continues to get it done, Matz is looming...are they just going to stay status quo & flush this season down the toilet? Teams like the Cubs & Astros seem to really be going for it (sounds like the Astros are going to promote über prospect Carlos Correa soon & are said to be buyer at the trade deadline this year). The Mets should have the same attitude.Well...the Mets were a nice story for a bit.
I'm ready to see Buxton & Sano. They are going to have get better starting pitching soon so they are ready to make some noise when those guys come up.Back on track at home.
They were just talking about those guys on the pregame tonight. They were saying that Sano might come up earlier this summer, but they might wait until Sept. callups for Buxton. They're saying that when Sano comes up, Trevor Plouffe will be moved to the outfield. I have no idea how they can do that. They have a logjam in the outfield right now with young guys. Aaron Hicks started the season at AAA, but was called up last week. So far, he's been hitting about .400 and playing lights out defense. With Hicks, Buxton, Oswaldo Arcia, Eddie Rosario, Edwardo Escobar, and Jordan Schafer we have a lot of young outfielders with promise. Buxton is the only one of those still in the minors.I'm ready to see Buxton & Sano. They are going to have get better starting pitching soon so they are ready to make some noise when those guys come up.
Yep. Yanks need Tanaka back and able to finish season. Nova is coming back. Hell, even Capuano will help when he's back.
Speak of the devil.
