    The pitching is carrying the Yanks. We keep waiting for the bats to wake up, but the more time goes by, the more I wonder if the projections were wrong. Plus, what happens if, and maybe when is a better word, Judge and or Stanton get hurt?

    I'd say Ottavino is still the number 1 set up man. Sawamura and Andriese might be next, but Andriese is also being used as a 2 inning guy- sometimes in the 5th or 6th inning. Whitlock is supposed be be "stretched out," so I'm not sure he's an 8th inning guy, unless he pitches the 6-7-8th or 7th & 8th. Valdez has done well, and it has seemed like it's been with smoke and mirrors, but he did the same thing, last year, so maybe he's for real. I can't see DHern as a top set-up man until he can get his control in order.

    It's absurd that 6 IP and 3 ERs is a QS, but 8 or 9 IP and 4 ERs is not. 5.2 IP and 0 ER is not. I understand a cut off has to be placed somewhere, and I'm okay with keeping the QS stat, as is, but we could create another stat and call it something else- like "Good Starts." 4+ IP 0 ERs 5+ IP 1 ER 6+ IP 2 ERs 7+ IP 3 ERs 8+ IP 4 ERs

    I wouldn't disagree. Not long ago, Taylor would be on the short list. He's done pretty well, lately. I'm not sure when the new date for Santana's opt out is, but when it's up, my guess is that is when we make the first move. We might decide to DFA Brice to bring up Santana, but it looks like they really like having 14 pitchers. Houck is no longer an option to be called up, so there is no clear pitcher to call up that has a very promising outlook. I guess Brasier is out for a while, too.

    Yanks won 3-2 on 5 hits. Pulled it out in the 9th.

    I hope I can match your streak!
  7. moonslav59
    Go for the sweep, tomorrow, then we host the high flying A's.
  8. moonslav59
    Nice win- all around. Yanks tied in 9th. Jays down big in 7th.

    May has not been kind to our pen ,and sometimes, our starters. IP- ER 5/1 ERod 5-4 Pen 3-4 5/2 Richards 5-1 Pen 3-3 5/3 Pivetta 5-3 Pen 4-4 (all by Brice in 0.1 IP) 5/4 Perez 5.2 2 Pen 4.1-2 (all in 10th inning) 5/5 Eovaldi 4.1-6 Pen 4.2-2 5/6 ERod 5-1 Pen 4-1 5/7 Richards 7-4 Pen 2-2 Today Pivetta 6-2 Pen 3-1

    One game, he went o for 3 with a BB and a big run scored. The next game he was 0 for 1 with a BB, so he got on base in 2 of his 6 PAs after that big game and before today.
  11. moonslav59
    He’s never a GG candidate.
  12. moonslav59
    I was just guessing, because I couldn't believe they'd bring him in during a high leverage situation.
  13. moonslav59
    What good would Moreland have done us, last year? We got two good prospects for him (Potts & Rosario). It's hard to give that trade any grade, at this point.
  14. moonslav59
    Bogey is so far from GG, it isn't funny.
  15. moonslav59
    Going for 4 in a row. Scores some runs, today!
  16. moonslav59
    Were his high leverage situations early in the year?
  17. moonslav59
    That would make it more complicated but also more accurate. At the start of the year, how do you know who the best offensive teams are?
  18. moonslav59
    Yes, I forgot Winckowski, who does show some promise.
  19. moonslav59
    I'd add Seabold to the starter list, but he's hurt, now. I would not put Feltman second to Bazardo. We have Brasier coming back, at some point. I'm not sure if he can ever pitch as well as he did a couple years back, but he's got more promise than anyone else, IMO. Others I'd put ahead of Feltman, who is in AA, right now besides Brasier & Bazardo (In no particular order): Brewer Weber Walden Schreiber Simpson Ort Brennan Workman McCarthy Maybe Blair, Hall, Poyner

    There were 3 parts of the Beni trade: 1. Franchy 2. Saving a few million- this year and next. 3. 3 PTBNLs I'm not sure Franchy was the main reason this deal was made. I'm pretty sure #2 & #3 combined outweighed #1.
  21. moonslav59
    The only time Taylor pitches in a high leverage situation is after he makes a low or medium leverage situation into a high one by loading the bases, and they leave him in too long to face a batter or two at high leverage.
  22. moonslav59
    We can't pitch Barnes for 85 innings- his pace right now, so we'll need to moves someone into a more high leverage role, soon. Sawamura? Valdez? Whitlock & Andriese are our long men. I don't think Houck should be converted to a set up man role. Bazardo? I'm not saying one of these guys can't do it, but I hope we don't have to trial and error it through all of them until we get one right, while killing their confidence to fill the lesser roles they have been doing well in, so far. We can't really trade for a solid RP'er, right now, can we? If yes, who do we trade? Could Whitlock or Houck taking a starter role create a solid RP'er out of Perez, Pivetta or Eovaldi? I'm not willing to suggest we try that.
  23. moonslav59
    Taylor for President!
  24. moonslav59
    Let's hope we never need them, when the game is on the line.
  25. moonslav59
    Does any media guy have the balls to ask Bloom or Cora a blunt question like this?
