    Farrell is brainless. Walk off hit by Cruz. Some one needs to ask that jackass manager about the strategy of pitching to their best hitter in that situation.
  2. a700hitter
    It makes no sense. Winning run on second base and first base is open. A walk is a no brainer.

    Buch is pitching tonight like the guy we thought he would become when he first came up.
  4. a700hitter
    Two homers by Castillo. Get him up here.
  5. a700hitter
    Clay is pitching like he wants to stay in the rotation.

    Victorino was caught off first base in a run down when Napoli took off for the plate and got caught in a run down.
  7. a700hitter
    That was a great play that Victorino made last night.

    Interesting that we are in the market for another International Free Agent middle infielder. This guy is in his prime years so I don't think he will be working his way up through our minor league system. I wonder what this means for Pedroia and Bogaerts.

    None of us want to face the post-Papi era, but this could be the year where his productivity starts declining at an accelerated rate. Good things don't last forever. He is getting up there in years and he is a very big guy -- they tend to decline rapidly. Thank goodness we have Hanley to put behind him. The other guys including Pedey will need to pick up their game around Papi.

    We need Napoli to get his bat going. He was ripping homers in Spring Training, but thus far he has been truly horrible.
  11. a700hitter
    I would hope that his stock will rise with a good showing in his current stint in the bigs.

    Buch needs to step up and pitch consistently well.

    I am thrilled that the team is playing better than .500 on the West Coast trip. They need to hang in there until the rottation can be upgraded at a couple of spots. They are in the process of upgrading Masterson's spot. Maybe Wright will seize the moment. It is probably his last chance. We need for the other spot to shake out. Will Buch or Kelly right their ships. If one falters, next up Brian Johnson. In the meantime, the Yankees are failing to capitalize on the fact that the rest of the division is injured and/or in disarray. They may regret not having put more games in the W column in this stretch.

    I continue to be amazed at how he consistently gets guys out with his velocity. The last 2 or 3 pitches he threw last night registered at 79 mph and they didn't look like splitters.
  15. a700hitter
    Barnes looked like a big spaz on that play. Pedroia could hardly contain his laughter.
  16. a700hitter
    I thought Napoli was catching fire over the weekend and at the beginning of the week. That certainly fizzled.
  17. a700hitter
    Kelly has pitched very well tonight. If he could pitch like this just half the time, that would be all that we could ask of him.
  18. a700hitter
    We need to remember tonight when he looks helpless against right handed pitching.
  19. a700hitter
    it is the 2 suck ass starts that he sandwiches around a start like tonight that are the problem. I don't really see him leaving town, but I could see him moved to the pen. As a starter, he has a very hard time getting to the 6th inning. Tonight he is having a good outing, but he has never been remotely consistent.
  20. a700hitter
    The hope for our rotation to improve is that 2 or 3 of the guys in the current rotation get replaced. The process is already underway. Masterson is the first to go. I doubt that he will be anything other than a spot starter going forward. The questions remaining are who is next to follow Masterson and who will replace them. The replacements could both be internal, but more likely one will be internal and the will have to look outside the organization for the second one. Staying pat is not an option, because these guys stink even if they improve from the 6 ERA.
  21. a700hitter
    There may be an open seat for Kelly next to Masterson on the bus leaving town.
  22. a700hitter
    Wright will be on a snort leash.
  23. a700hitter
    Victorino has always murdered left handed pitching. He has a lot of trouble with righties, which is why platooning him with Bradley is a good idea.
  24. a700hitter
    Often times velocity doesn't return after it is lost due to injury or merely wear and tear. If they merely expected it to return, they didn't do their homework. With regard to Porcello, I thought he was a solid acquisition and thought him to be a solid 3 with a potential to be a 2. What I thought was a mistake was paying him on a 4 year contract like he is an established 1/2 when he is still a potential 2. If you are going to use my arguments in making your points, if you get my opinions and statements wrong, it detracts from your argument.

    I am very anxious to see what Johnson can do.
