I blame Wynton, what was the question?

yea even though it kind of sucks to have to stay up and have your team burn through all their pitchers I do think that long extra inning games (like 13+) are inherently pretty interesting, lots of built up tension and strange managerial decisions.

Players are trained to adjust to pitchers all throughout their careers. Pitchers completely change their game in the latter years after they lose velocity. These guys are being paid millions to perform. I think they can handle it.
Nobody is suggesting that a player needs to overhaul his swing. Just hit a few away from the shift and the defense will be more likely to move back to their regular positions. Just trying to hit through it plays right into their hands.

Maybe this is the problem.
The best hitters can hit to all fields and adjust.
To me, this is just another evolution of the game. Hitters will be taught to spray the ball more. The better hitters will learn to hit to the opposite field with power, and pitchers will again adjust.

The Phillies just got Justin Bour from the Marlins for cash and an insignificant minor league pitcher.
They apparently swooped in and stole him before the Yankees could get him.

Yankees don't need another .225 hitter.

Bird still needs some more time. He's very talented and has a swing made for that stadium. Most players don't come storming out of the gate. He showed what he can do last October. They have plenty of talent in that lineup which allows them to give others some more time. I've heard some claim that it takes about 1200 ABs for a player to define their careers. He's only about halfway there.

The Marlins are well on their way to being the best AAA team around, Vic!

Red Sox have now lost the same amount of games (35) that the O's have won!

Flash!
This just in from Flushing: Brandon T. Nimmo currently leads the Metropolitans Baseball Club batting average this year with a whopping 0.248.
Top that if you can!

And with that Orioles loss, they are now officially eliminated from the AL East Division race already. It's the earliest a team has been eliminated from the division race since the divisional era began in 1969.
