It’s June and Royce Lewis still has a perfect 1.000 OBP.

And for those that don’t remember, Gil hadn’t even played a game in the US when he was traded. He was not considered a top 30 prospect in the organization and was very raw at the time.
You’d think eventually they’d get tired of being the Yankees bitch. They’re not even remotely competitive at the plate against them.
Watched the highlights on MLB channel this morning and A homer which Kepler might have caught and Judge’s chaulk right field double, it doesn’t appear they were tattooing the ball all over the yard. Buck up!You’d think eventually they’d get tired of being the Yankees bitch. They’re not even remotely competitive at the plate against them.
Yes, Ober pitched well enough to win. The offense just can't do anything against the Yankees this year. Two runs in four games and 32 innings straight without scoring a run against them before Lewis' HR last night.Watched the highlights on MLB channel this morning and A homer which Kepler might have caught and Judge’s chaulk right field double, it doesn’t appear they were tattooing the ball all over the yard.

We’ll bounce back tonight and I’m not just saying that since the game is on Prime snd I can watch said W.
In defense of their ineptitude last evening, Gil has a 0.60 ERA in his past seven starts; so flailing last night is understandable from my perspective. He’s an All Star and would be in the conversation for Cy Young.Yes, Ober pitched well enough to win. The offense just can't do anything against the Yankees this year.

I agree with your point above, I was just having fun with Caveman. We were similarly fortuitous when we acquired Duran as he was a throw in IIRC in the trade with Phoenix.And for those that don’t remember, Gil hadn’t even played a game in the US when he was traded.

The post about Gil wasn't necessarily directed at your specifically. I've seen some people (not as much here but more on social media) hint that it was a bad trade. Hindsight is 20/20. Once in awhile you're going to trade away a lower end prospect that ends up developing well. Good for Gil and the Yankees, it looks like he's going to be very good.In defense of their ineptitude last evening, Gil has a 0.60 ERA in his past seven starts; so flailing last night is understandable from my perspective.

Additionally, Gil may not have developed in our system as did with the Yanks - the Big Papi Rule. Love the one you’re with, not the one you’re no longer holding
I didn’t take it personally and understand and agree with your point; I’m sane , most of the timeThe post about Gil wasn't necessarily directed at your specifically.

My point really is that at the time, a guy like Cave is all you would get in return for a prospect like Gil.
I see they are playing the yankees.

He’s nothing if not astute.Pretty disheartening to hear Plouffe say, "They look like they don't think they can beat them right now."
Giving yourself a Homer on your birthday is truly eliteHappy 25th Royce!
