  1. Now that Hanley is gone I think its safe to say that the percentage of boneheaded baserunning plays due to simple brain farts is much closer to zero
  2. No one here "hates" Pomeranz.....but most of us have some serious questions about his ability to compete with the loss of velocity he has exhibited. He isn't likely to get by with two pitches, one of which is a fastball that is in the 88-90 range. IMO he is better suited as a relief pitcher with that arsenal.
  3. Thornburg needs to go back to Pawtucket......useless. We need one more arm in the pen and we will be fine.
  4. Or not....I can't believe Fiers didn't just throw him a fastball up.
  5. Devers Ks again on a ball up
  6. Every team in the history of the game has areas in which they could be better.....no exceptions. But this team is leading the league in runs, is third in ERA (just .04 below the Yankees) and has, if ERod can make it back, probably the second best SP rotation in the league behind the Astros. Sure there are holes; there always are. But this team is set up for a good postseason run if they can stay healthy.
  7. At least he plays great defense, right?
  8. Let me amend that: Devers sucks.
  9. Devers' act is getting very very old.
  10. How about the hole in the pen? We have no viable LH RP. I would love to see us get Britton...I think he is the missing cog. He can be lights out and can spell Kimbrel, who has been pitching too much.
  11. That and the fact that his velocity is down. I am guessing that his injury suffered in ST is worse than we are being told.
  12. I agree with the title of the thread.
  13. Our need for another SP entirely depends on how ERod is doing, and last I heard it wasn't encouraging news from Cora. I would not be depending on Johnson and Velasquez to lead us to an ALE title.
  14. As of right now our SP is third in the league; the Yankees, with an ERA over 4, are in sixth place. Their rotation, aside from Severino, is in shambles. Its not a rotation that will take them far in the playoffs. No doubt they will trade for a decent SP, hopefully at great cost and little reward. Its looking pretty good......its looking very good...so far.
  15. No Jacko comments? Hard to say how long he will be out since we haven't been given much information about what the injury is, only that its "not major". He is young....my guess is that he will be back sooner rather than later.
  16. Panic time in NY. Betances blows it in the ninth.
  17. Bradley makes a baserunning blunder after doubling in a run....never make the third out at third base. Hope it doesn't bite us.
  18. Beeks is a disaster....I hope we have someone better at Pawtucket.
  19. Pearce has an OPS over .900 v both LHP and RHP this year.
  20. I don't think Leon should be catching more than 3/5 games. The team is in it for the long haul, and asking him to catch 80% of the games is asking for trouble IMO. Time for Swihart to sink or swim....if he can't cut it as catcher we need outside help. What's Mirabelli doing nowadays.....was that him I saw exiting from the cab on Landsdown St?
  21. Pawtucket....played for the Angels for a little while. Dude can bring it.
  22. Nice little run this team is on....it can't last like this forever but its sure fun to watch. The Yankees have to be in panic mode....they will overpay for a SP very soon because the guys not named Severino or Sabathia for them are not very good. They will overpay because they have to in order to keep up with the best team in baseball.
  23. No...I think. But it was a 2-0 game at the time and you cannot predict a 3R HR by Martinez...you have to play it safe defensively....IMO.
