Odd story because the 30-year old James Jones last appeared in the majors in 2015. Baseball may miss the toy he stepped on more than they will James Jones... |

Ellsbury, Tex and Stanton all just said, 'Child's Toy...'

Ellsbury, Tex and Stanton all just said, 'Child's Toy...' Lol. This Jones guy was last in MLB as an outfielder. He’s converted to pitching, and this is MLB news based on his having “a chance” to join the Ranger’s bullpen...a chance... |

Not a lot for sports writers to talk about.
They found today that some of the 2019 baseballs, which were supposed to be very different than the baseballs in the past explaining the home run explosion, actually were manufactured before 2019.

Not surprising. Some of this year’s will still be in the mix this/next year... |

Yeah inger. But you may remember the claim that everyone hit more home runs because the 2019 baseball was different.

Yeah inger. But you may remember the claim that everyone hit more home runs because the 2019 baseball was different. I also recall the occasional game where the announcing team remarked that the ball was not carrying so much that day... If even a simple majority of the balls were of the new vintage, it would have a massive effect. What if it was 75%? Maybe next year there will be 20% left over stock? If there is, MLB should be made to dump them. But will they? Will the next ball be the same? Overly muted? Not much of a way to know until it happens... |

I think they should just use copper bats (which destroy virus faster than steel by interfering with their electronic nature most likely).

Time travel certainly exists. You existed in the past, you exist now. If there was no time travel that would be impossible.

Aaron Boone Provides Updates On Injured Yankees
Yankees skipper Aaron Boone provided updates on several injured Yankees in an appearance on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM earlier this morning (Twitter link, with audio).
Center fielder Aaron Hicks, on the mend from 2019 Tommy John surgery, is throwing from 90-plus feet and is taking soft toss from both sides of the plate as he continues his rehab. Hicks went under the knife about six and a half months ago and was initially slated for a timeline of eight to ten months. He’s “trending in a really good direction,” per Boone.
The outlook appears even brighter for lefty James Paxton and slugger Giancarlo Stanton. The former is now three months (to the day) removed from back surgery and is expected to be recovered by “mid-May,” per Boone. Paxton has tossed five bullpen sessions already and pitched a simulated game just yesterday. Stanton, meanwhile, is “doing really well and should be good to go whenever we get ready to go back.”
On Aaron Judge, the projection is a bit murkier. He’s slated to undergo another CT scan in “a couple more weeks,” which suggests that the right fielder’s fractured rib has not yet fully healed. Judge’s entire injury scenario has been shrouded in varying degrees of uncertainty. It took the club several weeks early in camp to diagnose the stress fracture in his rib, and only two weeks later did the team reveal that Judge was also found to have a collapsed lung. Near the end of March, Boone revealed that Judge’s injuries may have dated all the way back to last September. It’s been a frustrating saga for Yankees fans, and it seems there’s still no definitive timetable in place for the 28-year-old’s recovery — or at least not one they’re comfortable sharing publicly just yet.
