Another HR today. And he's only whiffed four times in 21 plate appearances.Moncada 3-4 with a HR so far today. I do kind of hope he turns into a good ballplayer, two good teams in Chicago would be good for baseball
So would no good teams... two good teams in Chicago would be good for baseball
Moncada responsible for four earned today. Chicago radio announcers are giddy about him. It was a fun game, with Seattle wunderkind Beckham making four errors. Guess he wore himself out killing the Red Sox.Another HR today. And he's only whiffed four times in 21 plate appearances.
He was actually losing to Snell when they both left after 6Buchholz wins his debut with the Blue Jays, outdueling Blake Snell, throwing 6 strong with no walks and only 1 run allowed. BJ 3 Rays 1
Why can't we get starting pitchers like that
The ball might have gone 25 feet. The bases were loaded and the pitcher tried for a force at home but the runner beat the throw. But it looks like a line drive in the box score.Yesterday, ex-Sox Blake Swihart pitch hit for the Diamonbacks, and got a single! He went 1 for 1 with a run and an rbi.
That doesn't happen too often, I don't think. DRS, any insight?It seems his replacement ulnar collateral ligament blew out at the point of the graft.
Sandoval is now batting .333 with an OPS of an even 1.000.Sandoval homered off of Buchholz
Was trying to think of other guys who've had 2 UCL surgeries. Eovaldi is one, but IIRC they were spaced reasonably far apart timewise.That's too bad about Anderson Espinoza. When/if he returns, it will be 4+ years since he pitched last.
Not a complete list, think there's a few others, but...Was trying to think of other guys who've had 2 UCL surgeries. Eovaldi is one, but IIRC they were spaced reasonably far apart timewise.
You can search thru the list here and guys with more than 1 date listed had more than one TJ surgery: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_baseball_players_who_underwent_Tommy_John_surgeryWas trying to think of other guys who've had 2 UCL surgeries.

“Why can’t we get guys like that?”Panda today: stole 3rd, hit a homer, pitched a scoreless inning.
Beware, they don't come cheap.
Great to have a multidimensional player like that on the payroll.Panda today: stole 3rd, hit a homer, pitched a scoreless inning.
There is no other sport quite like baseballPanda today: stole 3rd, hit a homer, pitched a scoreless inning.
You haven't played Calvinball, have you?There is no other sport quite like baseball
Against Mass General Hospital, not MLB. When you said concurrent surgeries, I thought you meant he had two procedures done at once, but it's actually that his surgeon was overseeing a separate surgery during his operation. That seems pretty insane to me, but then I also wouldn't be surprised if it happens a lot.https://www.yahoo.com/sports/former-white-sox-pitcher-bobby-002507984.html
Bobby Jenks won a $5.1 million settlement against MLB for injuries related to a surgery he underwent there. He plans to use part of the proceeds to spread awareness of concurrent surgeries, which played into the harm he suffered.
Looks like he's just being too accurate. Not a bad K-BB ratio.Reliever Joe Kelly, who is with the LA Dodgers now, has these numbers thus far this season:
Games 14
W/L 1-2
ERA 9.54
Innings 14.1
Hits 23
BB 3
K 15
WHIP 1.814

In my half-ass Internet research, it seems it is relatively routine.Against Mass General Hospital, not MLB.
