I don’t expect he will, I just think it’s better than 50%

I honestly don’t understand why people expect that Soto is coming back. Steve Cohen is probably going to outbid Hal by $100M.

I doubt Jones will be ready next year, if ever. 36% strikeout rate in AA is no bueno.

Anyway, back to Knicks talk to spare those who care not for America’s (former) Pastime….

I wonder if Soto could play 1st base. Judge to 1st in theory is the better move, to preserve his body longer. But he’s a genuinely good defensive outfielder. Soto is more in the Julius Randle category, where if he’s focusing on that side of things, he can mostly be solid, but he can get distracted and/or have bad instincts. Moving him to 1st allows us to play the Martian, maybe slot in Spencer Jones if he ever figures out how to hit, keep Judge out of center, etc.

Rebecca does a fantastic job for the knicks, definitely classes the joint up…

Merideth though is probably my all time fave team sideline reporter…both extremely hot and very cool all at the same time…

all i really noticed of austin for the majority of the season is that they have him hitting 4th or 5th, and he’s producing…and he has a great mustache…

didn’t even realize he was a rookie…or the same player who seemed like a great draft choice, years ago…

I would rather they play Peraza/Volpe/Jazz/Rizzo (or Cabrera), re-sign Soto, and sign Corbin Burnes than sign Bergman or whatever overpriced infielder Cashman has his eyes on. Judge/Soto/Martian in the outfield, Giancarlo at albatross.

Austin Wells as the catcher makes up for some weaker hitters elsewhere.

Volpe offensively is making me miss Wayne Tolleson.

Peraza has struggled the last couple of years, but it also feels like he was mishandled a bit. I wonder what would happen if they just gave him the 2B or 3B job (depending on where they want to play Jazz next year) and let him play without feeling like he could lose the job at any moment.

it takes so long for drafted baseball players to make it to the majors…

yanks on ESPN + again…just realized Austin Wells is the same young catcher I was so excited about them drafting – way back in 2020 😊

good to see judge at DH again tonight…
