But is there a DFA need right now?

There will be on Friday when Correa is activated.

[APMP 688]

There will be on Friday when Correa is activated.

Would they announce it three days early? Maybe getting a head start on a trade?

Just send down Straw

Not to the public. This came from a surly super sleuth using space age zoom technology

[TonyTexas 10531]

I agree. Neither is going to get many at bats with a healthy roster. Straw is a better base runner but how many opportunities is that? Jake can handle those.

[tx 3 putt 77461]

He’s on borrowed time

[Wishbone 4788]

Ahhhhahahah! Inside the park HR!

[Planet Houston 4930]

Inside la pina HR!!!!

[elfenix 34334]

Least likely of all of Yuki's HRs

[kevwun 15925]

Yuli has grown bored with hitting regular homers.

[henrygandorf 29195]

so i assume yuli is the p.o.m. for july?

i'm not sure i've ever seen anyone be this hot.

The only thing I can think of is Berkman going .500 for almost a month.  I don't think he had as many HRs though.

 

Quote

21 Lance Berkman, 2001 

.482 avg (c) Houston Astros Young superstar Lance Berkman began an incredible 21-game hitting streak on June 17 that lasted until the All-Star break. He picked up a single in the All-Star Game, but the streak officially ended on his next game, on July 12th, when he went hitless in two at-bats against San Diego. Over the streak, Berkman picked up almost two hits per game, going 41-for-85 for a .482 average. His patient eye garnered him plenty of walks, raising his on-base pct during the streak to an amazing .541. His nine homers, ten doubles, and a lone triple gave him a .941 slugging pct. Berkman was named co-Player of the Week for June 18-24 and hit home runs in four consecutive games from June 25-29, one short of Cliff Johnson's club record. His best game was a 4-for-6 performance on June 21 which included two homers and a double.

Trout would be in the conversation if he didn't have like 20 less AB's. His stats are very close to Yuli's.

Yuli for MVP

My post about o/u 4.5 HRs off A’s starters the next two nights is looking....low

Does inside the park count?

[henrygandorf 29195]

ok, so after some quick math...

since june 23rd (23 games + 2 innings tonight):

yuli is 38-95 (.400)

15 homers

33 rbi

23 runs

we're 17-7 in those games (yuli sat out one)

[UTexasFight 9538]

A certain centerfielder for the A’s tonight is putting up some incredible July numbers too, but Yuli has him beat so far

I haven’t updated it since the Rangers series but since yordan got called up he and Yuli are only a handful of HRs behind the rest of the team combined
Add in Diaz and the Cubans may catch the rest of the team by the weekend

[Limp Brisket 546]

Miley 81mph, 92mph and 79mph on last three pitches.  

[Rustic Horn 929]

[TonyTexas 10531]

Yuli has surprising speed

[rvm96 1643]

Just another Brantley multi hit game

[UTexasFight 9538]

But seriously, if we catch the Yankees for best record and/or Yuli stays hot the rest of the year or playoffs, how pissed do you have to be at Beltran if you’re the Yankees

[henrygandorf 29195]

i took the dog out and missed the entire miley half inning.

not on a walk, i literally plopped him in the grass and then picked him up after he peed.

How much does Beltran have to hear before he says fuck off I’m going back?

[WBT 20670]

51 pitches through 5 innings

[henrygandorf 29195]

1:52 for miley that inning.

1-2-3 let's go.

I’m not wild about it but what do I know.

Aledmys Diaz says the nickname he & his teammates have for @YordanAlvarez2 is "El Asesino, The Assassin"

I can’t agree enough, earlier this year there was a metric chart on speed and I was shocked at Yuli.  He does not look as fast as he is.

[Limp Brisket 546]

So 13 went to BB?

It makes sense. His demeanor is that of an assassin. Also, he murders baseballs.

[henrygandorf 29195]

so i have a question.

they just said diaz is starting his 7th game at 1b.  which i didn't realize, because he seems pretty smooth.

but seeing as how he's a ss by trade, wouldn't it make more sense to have him start at ss, slide bregs back to 3rd, and have yuli play first?  especially with miley pitching?

[Wishbone 4788]

Yep. He may murder a pitcher, or first baseman before he’s done.

Maybe getting him more reps at first since Tyler is gone.

[UTexasFight 9538]

Why do we need an SP3 again?

Joking but loving this from Miley.

[Fudge Nuggets 19227]

More runs, damnit.

[Limp Brisket 546]

Miley one hit the Yanks earlier this year, he’s legit.

Safe

[BornOrange 1441]

1) Bregman is a better SS

2) Bregman has played a lot more SS over the last couple of months than Diaz

[Limp Brisket 546]

Those assholes in NY better call it right this time.
