  1. I heard some other Yankee fans say the same thing, but I'm not sure it's fair here. He could have used Green or Chapman last night, but Green threw 25 pitches and Chapman threw 22 the game before. If he uses one of them again last night they might be tired, plus he burns them for today, all while chasing a win in a game where his offense has only scored 1 run. It wasn't a slam-dunk decision.
  2. Agreed. Bloom might make a quick multi year offer. It's hard to say exactly what he's going to do this offseason.
  3. Seems like a very strong chance they give ERod a QO. Will he accept it is the question.
  4. Also known as ERod, I think.
  5. I'm sure the BAbip is related to defense. An average BAbip would probably move us another 3 or 4 places maybe?
  6. Well, if I was arguing on behalf of the offense, I'd point out that we're 4th in the majors in runs scored, and 19th in runs allowed. Therefore, I'd argue, we're only 19 games over .500 because of the offense. But obviously there's a little more to it than that.
  7. Why are you even bringing it up? It hasn't been mentioned on this thread for a while. moon was the only one who talked about it and he explained why.
  8. Yes, Mookie's height is the real reason they let him go.
  9. You're making an awful lot out of that pinch hit appearance, aren't you? Only the game before Cora did the exact same thing and Shaw drew a walk. It's just a simple percentage move.
  10. And as you know, we're strongly expecting at least one of them to be in the rotation.
  11. Well no wonder, when they have studs like Zimmerman, Lowther and Wells.
  12. Any thoughts on the Vazquez option?
  13. Well, I hate to get hung up on the CERA thing (LOL), but look at these numbers: Whitlock with Vaz 62.2 IP 1.58 ERA .590 OPS Houck with Vaz 50.1 IP 1.79 ERA .551 OPS We all agree that Whitlock and Houck are keys to our 2022 success. If Vaz is not good with pitchers, how in the heck can these 2 young pitchers put up such amazing numbers with him? You kind of have to answer that question before giving Vaz the boot.
  14. Generally I would agree. For me the issue here is that 'intensity' has a range of definitions and some of them don't contradict calmness. Sometimes being intense means being very focused. That goes with calm.
  15. Also, by happenstance, we're in a long stretch of facing lefties.
  16. One of the things that's unknown is why some pitchers do better with some catchers. It doesn't necessarily mean the catcher is "better". And it certainly doesn't necessarily mean the catcher is smarter.
  17. I don't think it's necessarily an oxymoron. You can have an intense interior and a calm exterior.
  18. A rather arbitrary distinction LOL
  19. I guarantee if you start a poll "Want JBJ back next year?" the no votes will be much higher than the yes votes. You're picking on one or two posters who brought him up as a way to make the defense better next year.
  20. Masterson's 2010, 2012 and 2014 seasons were all very bad by Old School metrics.
  21. The Moving Finger Writes, and Having Writ Moves On. Not All Your Piety or Wit Can Lure it Back To Cancel Half a Line Nor All Your Tears Wash Out a Word of It. -Omar Khayyam
  22. I'm guessing only in his good years.
  23. I'm still not sure exactly what command is.
  24. I know we pinch-hit for Plawecki. I said that to Max right before you did. That's why I said win-win.
  25. Max is right about Vaz having much better numbers with the pen, though. So it was a win-win move by our razor-sharp manager.
