Has there ever been any relatively recent word from Ban or Grandforks? They never joined the new board so no word. I'll see if I can find them with some internet searching but I wouldn't get my hopes up. I figured that was the case. I really enjoyed their contributions. Ban was always quoting from his book on sluggers. And Grandforks was the go-to guy for 19th century baseball. They brought a lot to the table. |

Ouch. That hurts. Could Taillon really do worse? Giving up a 3 run HR to Kemp?

Just great. Three-run homer from slap hitter Tony Kemp.

Nice. Peralta, king of the reverse splits… and Boone tries to squeeze the extra out…

Steve Kemp or Matt Kemp maybe. But not Tony Kemp.

You said it.  Well, I don't know that we gave up on him. Just needed a developed pitcher at the time. Unfortunately it turned out to be the Sonny Gray fiasco. Dustin Fowler was on the DL at the time of the trade, too. It was a good trade, and if Gray would have pitched at home like he did on the road, he’d still be wearing Pinstripes. |

Boone loves to take pitchers out after 4 2/3 innings. “Oh no, it’s half way through the game and I haven’t done anything. Better pull the starter.” |

Just great. Three-run homer from slap hitter Tony Kemp. It's shocking, but Tony Kemp has the same amount of HR's as Gleyber Torres (3). |

As you know, a lot of people gave Larry Rothschild and the Yankees crap for Gray's struggles in NY. He went back to being good with Cincinnati. |

Walk number 8 to pitch to number 9 is an advantage, even with the way hitting is these days. Also, of his ten starts this season he’s gone fewer than five innings five times. |
