I have to go back to this play, because it’s eating me alive. It’s the play where Cole walked Gallo. What was Higgy thinking/doing there? Coukd he not see the ball? Not realize the batter could run to second? Seemed to just freeze for a while at the plate... Sanchez would get torn a new one for that kind of mistake. Have to admit that's true. |

Lyles is owning us now... Bet you remember the old Colts DB Leonard Lyles. Yes, but I had forgotten his first name... |

What was the point of bring Cole back for one hitter?

Part of why I had to dredge this back out... |

Lots of Hall of Famers on that list. A little surprising to see Gehrig at the top of that list. Although when I watched films of him running the first thing that struck me was that he was much faster than I had imagined. And the ball could roll a long way in old Yankee Stadium. And his predecessor at first Wally Pipp was fourth on the list. Yankee Stadium dimensions 1928: 301-402-460-490-429-350-295 |

Abreu has such a great arm. I hope he harnesses his control...

That's the environment Babe hit 60 in. And he was not a dead pull hitter by any stretch. Nor was Lou. The guy from that era who actually took most advantage of the short RF was Bill Dickey. Not a criticism at all, he just took advantage of an opportunity. |

Pitching the last two days hasn't been the greatest, but the offense hasn't scored outside of the first inning yesterday mostly.

I’d settle for a conservative difference of 45 more, taking DiMaggio up to 406 for his career. I’d also give him a conservative 75 more home runs for missing three years to WW2, pushing him to 481. I wonder if he would have pushed himself through one last season to shoot for 500? My gut says yes... |
