    It doesn't matter where he aimed. The execution is the determinant. Also, it should have ended with ERod. ERod tried to drill him low and ended up walking him. If you're going to drill a guy, it's easiest to aim for his hip or lower back. Once you start riding higher, you're risking a fight.

    It's rare that a coach tells you to hit someone. You usually get the stand down order far more often. If the coach doesn't tell you stand down after an incident like that, then usually you have the green light to retaliate

    You don't go high in this day and age. 30 years ago you went high for the hell of it

    Post concussive vertigo is rather common, but it typically starts at the time of the head injury, not months or years after. This is probably due to labrynthitis or an otolith unless he suffered another head injury that we don't know of

    That was on Hicks. He is a supposed lefty masher up there with the sacks packed, 1 out down 1 in the 9th. You have to put the ball in play there. Regardless, I really liked the fight from our rookie. 2ER in 6IP sounds like a good line, but he was without his great command today and still gutted out a serviceable start and kept us in there. Most rookies without command get shelled. I really like this kid

    And Girardi needs to know when to cut bait. No way JMont should be out there for the sixth.

    As for today's game, this is the third straight game that our starter didn't have great location. But it's also the third straight game that our starter gutted it out and got out of big jams. Again, I like the moxie of our staff early on. When on, they have shown dominance. When off, they keep us in games. If that continues, we'll be a playoff team

    This is the bridge and we have put a competitive team out there during the bridge. Once Judge, Sanchez and Bird are in their primes, we'll still have Castro and Didi in their primes plus a crop of kids coming through as well. Remember, for as highly rated as Bird, Judge and Sanchez were, Torres, Frazier and Rutherford are higher. We are likely to stay away from the insane FA fray after the season except for one arm (maybe re-signing Tanaka), but after next yr, watch out. Harper and Machado hit the open market in their early primes and they both might end up in pinstripes around a really good young core

    So the offensive slump looks like it's over

    I forgot about Hanley's sore shoulder. He had an April 2015 like no other then hurt his shoulder and was a shell of himself. Is healthy for 2016 and hits 30 homers. Re injures the shoulder and now looks like the post April 2015 self again
  11. jacksonianmarch
    The crazy thing is that Greg Bird has done nothing and we're missing an all-star caliber C and SS. Bird's AB's have been much better of late and Didi should be back within a week. It's not realistic to expect Castro and Headley to hit .370, but we can offset the eventual regression to the mean when Didi and Sanchez come back. Also, Hicks has taken the LF job since Gardy has been garbage. We have depth galore in the upper minors too. While I doubt our starting pitching remains solid, I'm rather impressed by the start. Hopefully it continues

    Great comeback there. Pineda battled without his best stuff as well. Good to see Carter real out. And Aaron Judge is a bad man. His homeruns are Kingman-esque. Doesn't get cheated
  13. jacksonianmarch
    Guys, the only two players who are underperforming on the whole are Pedroia and Hanley. Betts isn't hitting with as much power, but the average is there. Beni has been as expected. XB is hitting for average. Moreland has been really good. Bradley just got back. Thing is, your offense lost a ton when Papi left
  14. jacksonianmarch
    Huge Castro error effectively puts the game out of reach
  15. jacksonianmarch
    this one had me dying. Sorry it's so small
  16. jacksonianmarch
    We beat the topics to death over the offseason so there isn't much fight left come the regular season. Also, the sox are not floundering or dominating as of yet. It's early
  17. jacksonianmarch
    Sabathia showed something today. He gave up 4 runs in the first 2 innings. It was pretty obvious that he didn't have anything. He gutted out the next 3 innings and left us in position to come back. My hope is the kids see this effort and learn. Mussina said it best. 25% of your starts you have everything working and nobody beats you. 25% of your starts nothing is working. The middle 50% you have something working. What you do with the middle 50% will determine what kind of pitcher you become. Well, CC was in the bottom 25% and ended up giving us a chance to win. My hope is that Girardi realizes this and doesn't try his luck any further. CC has absolutely nothing
  18. jacksonianmarch
    Aaron Judge with another moonshot. This kid is really coming into his own.
  19. jacksonianmarch
    Price rehab slowed by elbow soreness. They aren't making a big deal about it as he is being allowed to play catch but won't face live batters for a bit.
  20. jacksonianmarch
    8 innings, a WHIP of 0.375, a K/9 of 11.25 and a K/BB of infinity. That's dominant
  21. jacksonianmarch
    Lol. Severino was awesome last night. 8IP 3H 3ER 10K 0BB. His stuff was absolutely filthy. The three run bomb never should have happened, as Kozma booted an easy DP ball prior to it. As dominant a performance as I've seen from a yankee youngster. If the kids hold down the back half, we're going to be surprisingly good
  22. jacksonianmarch
    Severino looks like the guy who lit the world aflame in 2015. That's a good thing. Montgomery looks like a young Pettitte. Guys, this team has some serious potential, albeit unlikely to sustain the current level of production of course
  23. jacksonianmarch
    LOL. The vets are quietly leading this team with the kids following their lead. Judge has had a transformation compared to last season. He was timid last yr. This year, he is composed. 4 bombs, 11RBI and a .082IsoPatience is huge. Bird finally broke out yesterday. This Montgomery kid has been awesome from the start. We drafted him in 2014 out of college. He hit both short season leagues that year. In 2015, he rifled through both A ball teams. Last yr, he dominated AA and AAA. This year, he is pitching like a young Andy Pettitte. I'll take the start for now. It likely wont last, but this is fun.

    Mariano has the best pitch in the history of baseball. Hence, he only needed one pitch. Everyone else needs more than one
  25. jacksonianmarch
    If the kids reach their potential, we will be dangerous. Thing is, we have kids everywhere, even if they aren't rookies. Severino and Montgomery in the rotation, Judge, Bird, and Sanchez in the lineup. Our pen is mostly veteran, which is good. It seems the kids are reinvigorating the veterans. Holliday has been a good mentor. Tex and AFraud really held us back last year. It wasn't until the kids came up that we started to win. The scary thing is, our best kids are still in the minors. Adams, Green, Cessa and Sheffield in the rotation (Kap just had TJS). Frazier, Torres, Mateo, Rutherford in the field.
