Just signed with the Cubs to be their backup C

Looks like FTC picked him up:

Jack Mayfield with 3 home runs in his last 5 game for the Angels including one tonight against the Twins. Also with several sterling defensive plays including this one


Luv this!

Great play. But I don’t think the announcer is very good at reading lips because the pitcher didn’t say “wow”.

I always liked Mayfield and am sorry he never hit enough during his callups to stay.

I always thought Jack would be a great AAAA/ injury callup guy.

Great attitude that everyone loves but just not quite enough talent to stay in the majors. But enough to have some great games every once in a while.

It’s the nature of MLB roster rules that these players simply can’t stay in a contending organization forever.

But all teams have some and noncontending teams can keep them

Right now, the Astros have Stubbs, Robel Garcia, and several bullpen guys who fit this mold.

You are definitely a better lip reader


Link to his defense last night & his 3-run HR.

True, but hope he can hang on & take advantage of playing time @ 30 yrs old.

Springer gem

Bad ESPN link.
Also Toro producing for the Mariners & Straw s/b in the Cleveland lineup Sat night.

Ryan Hartman claimed off waivers by the Orioles. Best of luck to him, he should get a chance to pitch there.

Springer just went way uppertank on the first pitch of the game

“Minor ready
Springer ready
Springer READY” went the pbp

eta:

Yes, pulling for him.

For an encore Springer goes deep to RCF in his next AB

Are they allowed to say SpringerDinger?

Isn’t that copyrighted or something?
