Yandy Diaz has been bonkers. I don't know how the make room for Manzardo, who is doing great in AAA and is ready, but it won't be at the expense of Diaz, for sure. He is clearly playing over his head, but it does seem like he has a new approach. He is finally lifting the ball some and the results have been what everyone hoped he could be years ago.

I don't think I've ever seen a guy go on the 60 day IL that fast.
Difference is there's no incentive in spring training to submit the paperwork to put a guy on IL. They are added when needed, which is by opening day.
In-season you need a replacement immediately so freeing up that 40 man spot is useful.

Despite not having enough at bats to qualify for the leader board in batting average (.318), Josh Lowe ranks in the AL top 10 for HR (11), RBI (34), and SB (9). And despite being a respectable 4 for 14 vs left handed pitchers, he usually sits when the Rays face one.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

And your AL batting avg leader now is ... Yandy Diaz! Went 4-4 tonite and now is batting .322, one pt better than Bo Bichette. Not an empty BA either. He has 16 HR and is slashing .322/.403/.514. Had 3.0 fWAR coming into today, which projects to 4.3 for the season.

The alleged 14 year-old girl has a 2 year-old child and was supposedly being paid hush money by Wander Franco. Supposedly, she went public when Franco didn't make his latest payment. No word yet on who the father of the child is.Last edited by madducks; 08-14-2023, 02:45 PM.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
