Corbin should have given up about 5 or 6 runs already.

Good trivia question. Bobby Bonds has to be one, Soriano another. I'm stumped on this one. I do think the two you named are definitely on that list. I have some recollection that Canseco was the first 40-40. Although Mantle or Mays could have done it had it been a thing back then. I have no doubt Mantle and Mays could/would have. I was thinking Canseco, but I think you’re correct. He got there once. Bonds’ son Barry may have been close, or did he make 40-40 too? |

Yep, that was the OF when I lived out there. Very solid for sure. Troy Glaus and David Eckstein could also be a burr under the saddle. Sciosia was very punchable but a good manager. Spiezio and Kennedy were solid ball players, too. Remember, Chone Figgins off the bench. And, Ron Gant. Can't forget our nemesis Vlad Guerrero. Now his son is giving us problems.  |

True, but those stupid thunder sticks and that rally monkey were mighty irritating at the games in Anaheim. I mean the point it's the hurdle the Yankees need to clear in the playoffs. What's the question? I was watching another game. |

So many hard hit balls to fielders.  |

Is Gleyber ever going to hit another HR?

I went to many a Yankees- Angels game at The Big A, and back then most of the crowd rooted for the Yankees. Lots of "Angels Suck" chants. It was almost embarrassing. Almost. I remember a Yankee pitcher named Ed Yarnall making his first big league start there back in the late 90s. |

Is Gleyber ever going to hit another HR? I’m not sure we’re supposed to talk about it. Like a perfect game being mentioned. |

An unnecessary pitching change.

That train whistle wore out its welcome quickly. |

An unnecessary pitching change. Really. They weren't hitting Taillon at all. |
