Better to not live on ifs I want this team to succeed and I believe they need to step up the starting staff.
DiDi had a pretty good game tonight helping the Yanks win the first of a four game series in Texas. Anyone remember the off season when some various media pundits and sportswriters were suggesting and/or recommending the Yanks try and fill their SS hole with Elvis Andrus? As of now, here is how he and Gegorius measure up. Andrus, earning 15 mil, and Yanks would have to also give up something in return. 360 AB, 3 HRs, 34 RBI, BA .250, OBP .301, OPS .629. Gregorious, earning 553.9 thousand, acquired in exchange for a pitcher, Shane Greene who currently has a 6.72 ERA and .1.54 WHIP: 302 AB, 4 HRs, 21 RBI, BA .242, OBP .291, OPS .616. And this is in his first full season as a starting SS and struggled through his first 45/46 games batting. .212. I believe he's also cut down on his errors considerably over his past 45 or so games.
One beef about last night's game. The Tex sissy fit. With two out and Tex on second, batter hits the ball. Tex, relying on 3rd base coach, coasting to home plate. So what does Tex do? Blast his coach. First. If Tex had any kind of running instinct(which he doesn't), he'd be running his ass off. On a long single, Tex would have a tough time scoring from 2nd base. I have watched him for years. He just has no speed whatsoever. For him to unload on his coach is nonsense. Being thrown out at the plate is nothing new for Tex. As a base runner, he is well below average. I understand that he was upset........not with his coach...... but with himself. Since when does a player coast to home on a two out single. GET OVER IT TEX!
From what I read this morning Cage he was upset with the 3rd base coach because was told to "Take it easy" as if to say you'll score with no problem, so Tex slowed up only to get thrown out.
