Voit was struck out and the ump refused to call it and the first base ump said he didn't swing. The replay showed he clearly went. Even the Yankees announcers said he swung. That was the game.

 

Joe Torre was in the stand the entire time.

We are going to invent a whole new set of standards for what is a pen at least if this nonsense keeps up after this season. I actually don't think it will keep up but it might be a couple years before we get past this hot mess. There is a hole in the talent pool.

 

I really do think that for a few years, MLB was paying big money for relief pitchers and it convinced too many guys to left turn out of taking the time needed to develop as starters. They were just throwers that could throw heat and that was good enough to get a paycheck. However what happened to many of those hot young arms....they fell apart early in their careers. As such we don't have many good starters in the middle of their careers and many of those guys that turned to relief burned out their arms trying to throw so hard every time they came into a game. That leaves us with trash bullpens for the most part. I even wonder how many of those guys we never even saw because they blew their arms out in the minors.

 

So if this gets back to the way things were, developing starters and relief arms mainly coming out of the guys that simply don't make it developing as starters instead of left turning out of developing as a starter early, we should get back to a more normal MLB pitching experience. But there are darned few good starters right now and the pens around MLB are just pure trash.

Beni really needs to do something about his approach at the plate. He is going nowhere in a hurry like this.

He should not be working for MLB. So biased toward the Yankees.

 

yes after that Tigre brawl situation, the Yankees had 1 player suspended while the Tigres were sent to hard labor encampment.

Nice job by pomeranz. Wish the offense would wake up. It’s getting late. Make this interesting at least.

 

Actually, nice job by the SOX OF. POM allowed the Chicago batters to highlight the SOX OF defense. POM has nothing.

Unlike POM,who, at least, allowed the OF to make great plays on the hard hit balls against him, Thornybird would have required much taller OF's to help him. Edited by SPLENDIDSPLINTER
