Finish with the slider.

[jacksonianmarch]

Tex with the glove. 7 innings of 1 hit ball. Would be nice if we could get 1 f***ing run!

[Yaz Sideburn]

Well' date=' he's one of the best defensive LFers in the game [b']with one of the best arms[/b].

 

i missed this little gem the first time around. your comments are aging like a fine wine

[jacksonianmarch]

Take a look at his arm rating. He doesnt have a lot of power, but he is incredibly accurate

[Yaz Sideburn]

Yeah' date=' apparently splitting the plate belt high is a ball[/quote']

 

i missed that memo as well but apparently all the umpires in baseball had a meeting about it prior to this season

[jacksonianmarch]

He was something like +14 runs in arm rating this yr. SO yeah, continue trying to debunk everything I am saying, but the stats back me up. All that backs you up is bias and bitterness.

[yankees228]

i don't disagree with war. it's just like any other stat in that it doesn't accurately assess the value of every player in every situation. this is clearly one of those times when it doesn't accurate assess a player's value

 

Between his offense, defense, and the amount of time he has spent on the field, I think you could make the case that he has been one of the top five most valuable Yankees this year.

They looked overhead and it split the plate and they did the side camera and it crossed at the belt. Not sure where it missed

we must have a very different idea of what "one of the best arms" means

[yankees228]

Kearns got off to a hot start with the Yankees, but he has been absolutely dreadful overall.

[jacksonianmarch]

I meant in rating. He has by no means the best arm in terms of power. He might be the most accurate arm in the bigs though. He puts the ball right on the base almost every time

most valuable because of his playing time isn't the same as the original assertion that he is one of the yankees best players

welcome to 2010

[yankees228]

It's not just his playing time, it's also the other things. Fact is, the stats side with Jacko, and while your opinion is reasonable, his is hardly one to laugh at.

welcome to 2010. the umpring's been embarassing this year

[jacksonianmarch]

He has been one of the teams best players, however you slice it. It definitely helps him that Tex was useless for 2 months and 2 of the Yankee stalwarts are having career worst seasons.

[jacksonianmarch]

Bringing in Swish here is a bad idea. Let the guy heal. Does it really mean that much to have home field to risk losing one of our best players to injury?

war, which you admitted wasn't accurate in assessing gardner, sides with jacko. everything else about him being one of the best players on the team, possibly having the second best offenses year of any yankee and having one of the best arms of any left fielder is pretty comimcal

[jacksonianmarch]

As is your blatant bias and refusal to accept reality this season. But that isnt new.

if not living in your alternate reality in which brett gardner is the second best offensive player on the yankees makes me biased, then i'm the most biased person on the site

[yankees228]

OK, nicely done by CC. If they take the lead, obviously it's Mo. If they don't, let CC face Crawford, and then go to Wood.

[yankees228]

Soriano looks awful, but the Yankees can't get to him.

that was a hell of a start. from a baseball perspective, i love the way he always gets deep into games. i wish more pitchers pitched like that

CC truly is an ace, and for 2 seasons now, he's been worth the money

I meant position player, and I will stick by that. His WAR is ridiculous, and when he isnt playing well, we lose.

[jacksonianmarch]

The Rays have had an abysmal offense all yr. We on the other hand, have not. We should be able to scratch at least 1 f***ing run against anyone over 9 innings

[jacksonianmarch]

Gardy needs to steal earlier in the count. Posada is a DP waiting to happen

[yankees228]

Nice job by Brett, but no way Kearns gets a hit.

[yankees228]

What a terrible decision. This team is a mess right now.

[jacksonianmarch]

That was a balk and a very f***ing bad decision
