    Barnes has pitched more than 1 inning many, many times, including 7 2 inning stints last year. But I agree with you that we shouldn't be freaking out over one game.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Not at all. And this is the type of bullpen management Phil Mushnick at the NY Post keeps complaining about. Why wouldn't you let Barnes go out for a second inning when he looked so good in his first one. But the modern method is to limit guys to one inning and to base a lot of it on matchups.
  3. Bellhorn04
    It's great in theory, but you need an Andrew Miller to make it work.

    Kelly and Barnes were fine last year and for that matter so was the bullpen in general. Time will tell if DD has left us short-handed this season. We certainly need some of the no-name guys that didn't pitch last night to step up.

    Welcome to Boston, Alex.

    Beautiful swing by Devers.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, now the real bitching can begin!
  11. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, that says a lot, doesn't it.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Yes, Clay Buchholz.

    It was DD who traded for Smith of course. With all due respect to these fine fellows, RDL, Webster & Miley were all pretty much stiffs.

    I didn't say terrible shape. I said no pitching and a fair amount of dead money. Somebody had to acquire pitchers. Maybe if Ben was there he would have done the same things. But who knows? Ben made some odd and risky acquisitions. Even a signing like Victorino. Since we won it all in 2013 and he was a major contributor, it goes down as a good move, absolutely. If we hadn't won in 2013, maybe that move is viewed as a bad one. Same with re-signing Napoli. And then acquiring Miley and Masterson in 2015 to fill out a scary fivesome with Buch, Porcello and Joe Kelly. Dombrowski is much more conservative with his acquisitions. That's probably why Henry went with him. He was a little tired of the risky acquisitions turning into dead money.

    Ben left the team with virtually no pitching and some crippling contracts. I think you highly overestimate the shape he left the team in.
  16. Bellhorn04
    So what exactly did Ben do that any other GM couldn't have done?
  17. Bellhorn04
    Henry opened his wallet for Hanley, Panda, Porcello and Castillo before the 2015 season. Over $300 million. Ben was not being starved.

    Travis LF, Beni CF, Mookie RF

    Guess I should have said bWAR LOL
  20. Bellhorn04
    WAR was made for a guy like JBJ.

    I would hope that whether it was PED's or DV, rumors alone would carry the same weight or lack thereof. And what PED suspensions have been issued based only on rumors?
  22. Bellhorn04
    It's just that there are so many degrees of DV and so many variances in the amount of evidence of what actually occurred.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Now why, exactly, do you say that?
  24. Bellhorn04
    One might argue that it only counts for guys who are actually battling to make the team.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I just discovered that the Yankees VP of Baseball Ops is Tim Naehring.
