  1. I wouldn't want to be facing Chris Freakin' Sale on a day like this!
  2. If Velazquez could go 5, it wouldn't be "taxing."
  3. Yankees starter Luis Severino is slated to undergo an MRI and further medical examination, manager Aaron Boone tells reporters including George A. King III of the New York Post (via Twitter). Severino has been on the injured list since the start of the season for inflammation in his rotator cuff. Severino’s rehab was “stalled” over the past week, as Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News puts it (Twitter link), with Severino not yet feeling up to mound work. The lack of progress was evidently worrying enough that Dr. Christopher Ahmad — a noted surgeon and the Yankees’ head physician — will take a closer look.
  4. We did it a few times last year, so...
  5. ...maybe 4, then 5... I agree!
  6. Yes, indeed. I'm hopeful the pen games will not tax the arms too much.
  7. I had a friend who lost his sense of taste. The doctors were baffled as to why. (He couldn't smell any better, but he did develop X-Ray vision-- just kiddin'.)
  8. It would be a tremendous boost to this team, if we could finally get a SP'er from within our system that could dominate.
  9. Well, had we been able to trade Vaz, we'd have more budget space.
  10. Thanks for the correction. For RP'ers, I personally, value WHIP more than ERA. 0.20 Workman 0.23 Barnes 0.80 Brasier 1.00 Thornburg 1.04 Velazquez (some as SP'er) 1.69 Hembree 1.85 Brewer Totals as RP'ers only: WHIP 1.21 ERA 3.61 (SP'ers: 1.87 WHIP/ 8.57 ERA)
  11. I used to think Vaz was much better on D than I do now. He's probably still better than Swihart when you look at all the factors behind the plate, but he better start hitting or we'll be hearing a call for Leon to replace him- not Swihart.
  12. Can you please take this to another thread? It has nothing to do with the Sox.
  13. MLBTR reports... Longtime Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia should be available for the team’s home opener on Tuesday, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Assuming that all goes well in today’s game with Low-A Greenville, in which Pedroia will play all nine innings, he should be ready to be activated ahead of the reigning World Champions’ return to Fenway Park. He will be re-evaluated after Sunday’s game, but there is optimism that Boston will have its veteran second baseman back in the near future.
  14. Like a 3.02 ERA and 1.006 WHIP in April while pitching for ice box teams like the CWS and Red Sox.
  15. ...and his first half numbers are better than second half.
  16. Now that Johnson is on the IL, it may be Velazquez starting each time, unless or until we call DHern up.
  17. Not only that, here are the small sample size 2019 numbers of our top 4 RP'ers: IP -H -BB-ER 5.0 0 1 1 Workman 5.0 2 1 0 Brasier 2.0 0 0 0 Barnes 4.0 3 1 2 Thornburg 16 IP 8 H + BB 0.500 WHIL 2.25 ERA
  18. Cora was maligned for starting Velazquez over Sale.Velazquez was maligned for not being Sale.
  19. Moreland always seems to start each season hot. He's at 1.006 now. 2018: 1.000 on June 5th (.623 afterwards and ended at .758) 2017: 1.010 on April 19th and at .877 on June 13th (.689 afterwards and ended at .769)
  20. Salty keeps exposing his low baseball IQ.
  21. One bright spot: Workman, Brasier & Thornburg combined: 12 IP 5 H 3 BB 0.667 WHIP 2 ER 1.50 ERA
  22. Thanks for the info on ignoring someone. I try to avoid it, but sometimes, it just needs to be done.
  23. Yes, and he said "...could..."
  24. Just make the playoffs, preferably by winning the division. Have our s*** together in October. That is all.
  25. Great post. The data supports the idea that the catcher makes very little difference with ERod. (Other pitchers, however, clearly do better with specific catchers.) EEod with catchers: 3.78 Hanigan (221 PAs) 4.00 S Leon (415) 4.38 Vaz (1200) 4.44 Swihart (325) Now look at Sale: 2.42 Leon (1250) 4.06 Vaz (260) 0 PAs against with Swihart Price 2.83 Leon (769) 4.39 Vaz (1162) 5.30 Holaday (88) 5.73 Swihart (48) Not much difference with Porcello: 4.14 Leon (2030) 4.34 Vaz (583) 4.93 Swihart (524) The sample sizes with Eovaldi are very small... 2.95 Vaz (91) 3.86 Leon (146) 5.40 Swihart (23)
