I'd be more optimistic about the Yankees' chances, but I would never be happy about an injury. There's a significant difference.

To each their own, I guess. If injuries happen to Red Sox's players, then fine, I acknowledge that it helps the Yankees. But at the same time, I certainly wouldn't want it to happen.
-
Of course, what's better than celebrating potential injuries?

Third time through the order. Robertson should be up in the pen.
-
I'd expect very little out of him. He can't miss any bats, and if his control is just a little off, he has no chance.
-
His defense is significantly better than solid.
-
Wow. Flat out dealing.
-
Can't believe how good the pitching has been lately.
-
Nice response. Hope they send CC back out. I didn't even think he looked that bad last inning. Got squeezed against Markakis and the Lee single was not hit particularly well. EDIT: And, for selfish reasons, I want the CG for my fantasy team lol.
-
Really stunned that got out.
-
Such a dumb play by Izturis. Should have went around the horn, which is probably what Aybar was talking to him about.

Right, I only made the point to show that Cano is a better offensive player than his 2008-2010 offensive sampling shows. Anyway, here's my take on Cano's defense. I like UZR, and I think it's, generally, a reliable metric. But I just don't find its assessment in 2010 of Cano to be accurate. Here's how it breaks down: Double Play Runs Above Average: 1.3 Range Runs Above Average: -7.5 Error Runs Above Average: 5.6 I don't want to act like my observational evaluation trumps UZR's objective evaluation. But having watched Cano play in about 150 games last year, I just can't agree with the idea that his range was that bad, or even bad at all.

True true, a game tonight would be nice. But there's plenty of good stuff to watch, sports-wise, if you're a basketball or hockey fan. Also Mets and Red Sox tonight.
-
Absolutely, and a legitimate case can be made that Pedroia is better. Although that's largely based UZR, and I really think Cano is a better defensive player than the numbers show. Regardless, my only point was that using a three year sampling, considering Cano's 2008, makes it look like there's no contest, which isn't fair (or accurate) in my opinion.
-
This all depends what sample size you choose. I'd argue that 2008 is a thing of the past for Cano. He had issues at that point in his career that by all accounts he has moved past. Here's what we get if we use the previous two years. Robinson Cano OPS+: 131 UZR: -3.4 WAR: 10.8 Dustin Pedroia OPS+: 115 UZR: 13.2 WAR: 8.3 Again, the WAR and UZR numbers are influenced by games played (which hurts Pedroia, in this instance). But this sample size, especially when it comes to offense, draws a different picture.

Jacko, ETA for Montero? Or is it solely based on potential injuries to the big league catchers/Posada?
-
Yeah haha. Not sure why I like calling him that.
