The other AL divisions are trash. I can see that happening in a few months too

Woof. Yanks up 10-2 or Cleveland so perfect chance to bring in Chapman, just off the IL. So, we walks the first two batters, lefties that he should dominate. Don't think he is even going to get out of the inning.
Edit: Walks bases loaded and gets pulled. Can't even get one out in the opener of a double header where Yanks shouldn't have had to burn through relievers.

Someone offered me a fantasy trade to offload Chapman last week, I jumped on that ASAP and feel great about it.
Guy's a physical and mental mess. Best thing that could happen is he goes back on IL for the rest of the year (this is my hope). Wonder who will even chance signing him as a free agent next year?
Cleveland's infielder Ernie Clement pitches the 8th for the Guardians and managed three outs which Chapman couldn't match. Clement gave up a couple long balls but at least got three groundouts. BTW, not a fan of position players pitching.

Blahahaha!
I was watching Buxton fielding highlights on YouTube the other day with little JM. It’s unbelievable how many of those catches crashing into the wall or deep in the gap he had to make with Gibby on the mound serving them up.
I've seen several videos like this featuring Votto. One of the really good dudes in baseball.
Yanks need to add an outfielder or two. Gallo pretty obviously can’t handle playing in New York.Best record in baseball while playing and carrying a DF (designated fielder) and automatic out in the outfield.
Cyclone hat making a guest appearance in the 2nd video - Cyclonenation indeed!
Odds for Joey Gallo even putting a ball in play tonight? I am guessing 25%, already struck out on four pitches without even coming close to even hitting a foul.
Edit:
I'll be damned, he hit a home run.

He's a two-true outcomes guy, for sure. K or HR. It'll be interesting to see if his numbers change when the shift is removed from MLB.
I am still counting on the Yankees maybe DFA'ing him in August. He's 450 at bats and 120 games into his time in NY and he has been a .160 hitter both this year and last. He isn't going to "breakout". Last night's homer was one of his flukes contacts. He's striking out 46% of the time.
They tried out Matt Carpenter in the outfield last night trying to find a lefty that is more than just a designated fielder like Gallo.
He definitely has struggled in NY. As a Rangers fan, I still have a soft spot for him and hope he finds a place he does well. I'm glad to see IKF and Trevino doing ok in pinstripes.
