Mike Moustakas is good at baseball

remember we could have had him but we chose a guy who plays 3 positions in the infield 

Remember when he was asking for so much money nobody in MLB bothered to make an offer?

Yankees have won 16 of their last 17 games to go from 6.5 games back to tied for the AL East lead.

Three of those wins were walk-offs. The only loss was a 2-1 decision to Houston.

I like that his only loss came against the Angels. 

[fan_since79]

The Mets batted out of order in the first inning and it killed a rally. Reds beat them 2-1.

Mets have officially hit bottom.

The dodgers have a worse record than the Mets.

The dodgers are only 2.5 games ahead of Miami and 3 ahead of SD

Bruin. 

[fan_since79]

Three no-hitters this year in three different countries.

Dodger combined no-no was played in Mexico.

So who's the hero of the game?

[zenmaster]

David Price has carpal tunnel supposedly.

Over at ESPN it's all Yankees, all the time. NY's run of 17-1 is their best since 1953.

They're doing it against good teams (we're included). Opponents' winning pct of .564, equivalent to 91-wins.

I for one am looking forward to our next series with them. I think we'll do better this time.

Well, we can't do worse!

Well going 17-1 in your last 18 is very newsworthy and it’s led by their pitching and not so much their bats over the streak

David Price scratched again with "numb" hand for his scheduled start against the Yankees. He returned for the next series last time and Cora said he expects him to return to pitch in the next series this time. Coincidence?? I don't think so. This guy might be the biggest bitch in baseball. Running away from a team that owns him.

Price is 15-12 vs the Yankees lifetime.

He is a good player but very overrated.
