Keith Foulke is a textbook example of how some fans lose perspective. I believe that Foulke basically sacrificed his arm in the 2004 postseason for a championship. But in 2005, when he was pitching badly, there was no mercy for him. (Leading to the infamous/hilarious Johnny from Burger King line.)
-
Well, I don't consider a 119 win season and world championship a 'flash in the pan'. 'Flags fly forever' is the correct phrase.
-
Good stuff, danny. My perspective is a lot like yours. And I'm very proud of my signature line.
-
I guarantee that's not the way the average Yankee fan feels.
-
It does seem a strange choice, but it's pretty hard to argue with last year's results.
-
As I've mentioned before, the 2008 Red Sox did pretty good after Theo stood pat. It's not a guaranteed death sentence.
-
When your payroll is pushing the top threshold and your farm is depleted, then yeah, you pretty much need Plan A to work. Getting Cashner seemed like a decent little tweak.
-
If we had some well-pitched starts lately the W-L record would be looking considerably better. We're losing a lot of games where we're putting up 5 runs or more.
-
And what does that have to with how bad the starting pitching has been?
-
C'mon now jung, cheap lines like that are not worthy of you.
-
It's neither Cora's fault nor Dombrowski's fault how bad the starting pitching has been, IMHO. Fire LeVangie, of course.
-
There was also a big story about how Sale wanted to do this to help the team a little.
-
They can, it's called non-tendering.
-
They could have had Corbin and Keuchel, though. The only cost with those two was money.
-
If the Yankees win it this year it'll be Cashman's greatest triumph. If they don't, and the starting pitching is at fault, look out Brian.
-
Price is enigmatic. Who would have thought he would step up the way he did last postseason?
-
Price and Sale have been about the same, really. Our expectations of Sale are higher. Both have been considerably better than Porcello.
-
You're right except the AAV is reduced to $25.6 million because of deferred money. This type of adjustment must have been something new in the last CBA.
-
And if the starters are sucking the bullpen doesn't matter much. Last 3 games Sale, Price & Porcello gave us little chance.
-
And you can say the same about the Yankees rotation: CC, Tanaka, Happ, Paxton - all diminished, based on the numbers German - only one on upswing Perhaps the rocket ball shouldn't be overlooked as a factor in all this...
-
What was your point with that, anyway?
-
Frankly all anyone cares about any more is the AAV. Sale's is $25.6 million because of deferred money in his contract.

The annual Jackie Bradley Jr thread (2019 Edition)
Bellhorn04 replied to Station 13's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Sunk cost: a cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. But yes, it's possible that he might actually earn his 2020 salary... -
I think Porcello may have ruined his arm last postseason chasing the ring, like Foulke in 2004.
-
Merciless bastards.
