    He's not Daniel Nava 2.0, because he can run and play stellar defense at several positions. Nava can do none of those things. Ciriaco actually has some major league tools. Shortstops don't have to hit as much as Outfielders, but he hits enough to play SS for us right now. The guy is a pretty good fielder. Iglesias isn't the most patient hitter either. He'll have his chance to win the job in March. Regardless, Ciriaco is a nice versatile utility type player.

    Yeah, he looked so great during Spring training that half way through Spring Training his manager had to ask him if he was up to being a starter, and Bard himself admitted to having trouble with the focus needed to be a starter. It was pretty obvious that he would lose focus in his new role and he had trouble finding the plate and regaining his composure. Yeah, let's drop the terrible starts and he was okay. Are you serious? I go to Spring Training. I was at one of the games where his wheels came off and he threw something like 10 balls in a row and walked something like 4 guys in the inning. He was not progressing during Spring Training. He had a 6.57 ERA in Spring Training and he walked 16 batters in 24 innings, and in his first outing he pitched 2 clean innings. That's almost 6 per 9 innings. That's a really bad sign.

    The good news tonight is that Melancon finally turned the corner.

    They deliberately worked around AGon and th 2 righties were helpless as babies agains that submarine pitcher.

    He had a good outing if you diregard the two Home Runs and all those runs in the 5th inning on all those bitch hits and bad umpiring. Looking at it that way, he had a scoreless outing.
  7. a700hitter
    It's a Beckett start. We need to score 10 to have a chance. Melancon is joke. He is keeping him on the roster in some lame ass attempt to try to justify the trae to get him. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses.

    The Red Sox were probably the last thing that was keeping him alive, and he couldn't take this s***. Maybe our whining f***s will start pointing fingers at each other over who killed Pesky.

    SFF, Ciriaco has had no hype. When Spring Training started, no one knew his name. He completely outplayed Iglesias in Spring Training and he continued to to so for 3 months in AAA. He earned the promotion. Iglesias is the guy who has been hyped. This isn't the first time this season that someone has posted about how he was finally starting to hit. We're waiting.

    2 HRs surrendered by Beckett. Probably 1 more to go.

    I am just glad that we are not playing the Mets this weekend.

    Bard's game was falling apart in Spring Training.
  14. a700hitter
    Guy is slow. That foul ball was catchable.

    Yep, and that is not Bobby V's fault. He had to know that his pitching sucked, but he stayed loyal to the party line saying time after time that he liked his pitching. The players are surely scapegoating Bobby V. This team is where it is, as you stated, because of the starting pitching. That's it, pure and simple. If the 2 whiners want to complain to someone, maybe one of them should walk to the mound and tell Lester to get his head out of his ass the next time he starts bitching at an ump or remind Doubront that he is a f***ing rookie when he stomps around the mound like a petulant child. If it had no effect at least it would be placing the responsibility in the right place. It's not Bobby V taking major shits on the mound game after game.

    The organization has let this team deteriorate into a Major League- type caricature resembling the bumbling fools in the movie.
  18. a700hitter
    Maybe he thinks the losing is God's plan?
  19. a700hitter
    Oh, I guess they were concerned that it ruined Lester's stats. Gee that's too bad. They get paid to win games and they have done a really bad job at that, but they want Bobby V to protect their stats. Too freakin bad.

    He was my favorite Yankee star player, because he never won a Championship.

    That makes no sense. Aceves is capable of multiple inning outings. In fact, he is better in those situations. Bailey can't go multiple innings. Putting Bailey as a set up man cuts down Bobby V's flexibility.

    Some of the older members may remember that Yaz was a pretty good first baseman. There was a year or two where I thought he was worth of the GG.

    You are really unearthing some memories for me. While I don't remember that particular play, I do remember that some of his throws started off low and stayed on a line never dipping, because he threw so damn hard. No one had a stronger arm at SS back then-- no one. They used to put the knock o him because he took a long time to release the ball, but I don't remember runners beating the throw when he decided to fire that gun. It was amazing, because I think his playing weight was around 160-165.
