Rivera strike zone.

Eh, doesn't really bother me. Red Sox are still in first place.

 

We'll be ahead in the L column tomorrow.

I have a feeling it will be a battle of the pens tomorrow.

THANK YOU! We've been trying to bait you in to saying the Yankees were going to win for the last three days. Now that you've said they will, they're bound to lose. 100% wrong, 100% of the time.

That's it. I'm done with Napoli. I can't take his 3 K games every other night. I'm so happy he's not on a 3 year deal. His incompetence at making consistent contact is disgusting.

He's on pace for about 230 strikeouts this season. He is on a record pace. Only 3 players have exceeded the 200 k mark. He's a bum.

2-1 ballgame it is

I'll make plans for 10 o'clock.

I'll make plans for bed time at 1 AM, the longest FOX game ever.

10 k's by CC against the Sox is very misleading. These Sox could k 10 times against jamie Moyer. CC would have had 12 or 13 k's if Salty had played.

They could k 10 times against Moyer, but then score runs when they needed too. It's nights like these when Ellsbury would've really helped. If only Ted Williams was playing now...

This team is a k machine on hyper-drive. Productive outs help create runs. They just don't make enough contact.

Iggy .435, Drew .211.

 

You wonder if Drew is the one feeling the pressure.

It's May, who gives a s*** about the standings...

The pressure of cashing those big checks must be enormous.

[SoxSport]

Why isn't Pedey batting 2nd? 3 hits tonite. Gomes batting 2nd is a mystery. Papi should hit 3rd following Pedey.

That .526 BABIP is totally sustainable!

make that maybe not enough pressure.

Because the manager is a stubborn ass.

s***, there are more whiners on here than just SS.

Doubront pitches very well against the skanks and our ace goes on Sunday. There's a good shot to take the series.

Question: if Napoli has 225 strikeouts and 115 RBI, is it a good season, a disaster, or a bit of both?

He's a bum. If he could make contact 50 additional times, he'd probably have 125-130 RBI.

That depends on the rest of his numbers.

 

Would you consider Mark Reynold's 2009 (223 K, .260/349/543 slash, .892 OPS, 44 HR, 102 RBI) a disaster?

 

I think it's a very good season overall, and would be thrilled if Napoli ended up with similar numbers regardless of the K amount.

Napoli will not come close to that slash line this year. That was Reynold's best year. He has had a couple of other similar seasons, yet never made close to $13 million in a season. He topped out at $7.5 million.

Hard to compete with a AAA lineup

Btw, why in the hell is Gomes in this team?

Because he's getting $5 mil per yr through 2014

you can't put a price on intangibles.
