hoytdwow 202 Posted June 21, 2016 Desmond is making Fantasy guys happy campers. He's the best hitting outfielder in the American league right now - even hitting better than Trout... Disagree ... and Mookie Betts says hi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,996 Posted June 21, 2016 Disagree ... and Mookie Betts says hi Boy, yea Betts is tearing it up.. They are about as close as you can get. Runs: 51 to 61, Hits 87 to 88, HRs 11 to 15 an RBIs 46 to 50... Desmond is hitting .312 to Betts' .290 - so it's close for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the band box in hot weather I'll take the over at 25 Homers. he might still hit .240 but he's gonna crush. " I said this in spring training and stand by it.

It's like he's played it his entire life - freakish range, great catching ability and a big ass arm. He's already thrown out several at home and at 3rd.

If that dude has found his rhythm, then a) he's a good fill-in for JD, and b ) if JD comes back full healthy, which he should, then that lineup is SCARY. BTW, Miggy hit a "461 foot" homer earlier in the game that left the stadium. That is basically impossible in Commerica, and it definitely went farther than 461: http://www.blessyouboys.com/2016/6/20/11984222/miguel-cabrera-adams-street-home-run-hoooo-lee-crap In early May, right before Miggy went on his first hot streak, I was standing right where he hit the ball watching him in BP. Dude was hitting 450'+ with ease. He has found his power again, I think he's just warming up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,996 Posted June 23, 2016 Rangers: 10 game divisional lead, tied for most wins in the league - and it's all about to come crumbling down... Well maybe not a total melt down, but we are faced with the real pitching woes now.. Holland has been sent to the DL. Colby Lewis is going to sit for at least 4 weeks, team will reevaluate his arm after that. And Darvish is prolly not coming back until after the break... We've a ton of young talent and prospects - we may have to start burning thru it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CantTouchThis 23 Posted June 27, 2016 Pretty much. Although Dan Gilbert is doing his best to make his part of the D much better. The area around the Quicken loans building is awesome. What is happening is they are focusing on building up downtown and making it livable and appealing, while the other parts of the city rot and die. However, I don't disagree with the logic. Many parts of the city are beyond saving. Let those areas die and then just mow them down and either rebuild or even have urban farms or woodlands. Detroit in 20 years will be a very modernistic, unique, fun city. Unfortunately a lot of people will have to continue to suffer until then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shotsup 836 Posted June 28, 2016 Rangers overcome Yanks and Girardi's chicken shiat move after 3 hour, 9th inning rain delay. Why would they wait so long to resume and not just call the game since it was official. Resumed at like 2:30+ in the morning. Hate the SpankMees so I'm not complaining but find it odd it resumed so late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hate the SpankMees so I'm not complaining but find it odd it resumed so late. You can argue that the Blue Crew handled it poorly upfront. It was raining steady for damn near all the game from the 5th on - should of been called sooner... But they let it go... So Texas pitches to the Yanks in the bottom of the 8th - that was ok with Girardi.. But once the top of the 9th rolled around, we have a runner on 1st, no outs and a 3-1 count to the batter - THEN Girardi decides the conditions are too dangerous and unsafe to continue play.. He claims he just wanted the refs to inspect the mound - bullshiat. He was hoping it would be called and he could steal a 6 to 5 win.... The Blue Crew basically told Girardi that he was okay playing thru it up till the 9th, this game was going to finish. And they did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 16,030 Posted June 28, 2016 The Yankees can't hang with good teams. Time for Cashman to dump what he can. Beltran and Chapman could provide a nice haul. Gardner might help a good team too. Stuck with the rest, maybe Sabathia could gain some interest too, but won't bring back much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
