I'll take that over the course of a year.

Seems silly to note this after 1-2 starts

[G-Snarls]

MLBTR:

 

Boston has signed Ryan Roberts to a 1 year deal valued at 1M

[KingKat]

I'll take that over the course of a year.

 

The ratios are fine. More innings are needed.

Too early, yes, but JFaS' stats do stabilize fairly quickly.

Well it shows that the pitching has not been quite as bad as it may seem.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Starters have been average at best. Get some more Qs and we might be above average and not kill the pen. What I really like so far is the reduction in the long balls !

[Captain Adama]

Let's hope the BABIP stabilizes fairly quickly, the Jays's starters have a collective .366 BABIP, but they've got pretty sex peripherals all around.

 

I shouldn't even have to throw out a SSS alert at this post.

[G-Snarls]

Yeah a couple of those starts they were just weak singled to death

[vdartanian]

I wouldn't count on a whole lot more double digit K games from Buehrle this year.

That's true. He even said so himself. LOL

Yep. We need that AND some of the dormant bats (I'm looking at you, Colby and Brett) to wake up?

[Abomination]

Wow, 4-2 game in the home opener and Yankee Stadium looks like what you'd expect from the Rays.

[flafson]

Jimenez, U 4.2 8H 4R 4ER 5BB 4SO with 109 pitches. I guess whoever said Hutch is a better option was right.

yankees stadium notoriously gets bad crowds on the home opener. Doesn't help that it's an afternoon game and prices are ridiculous.

 

on a related note, David Robertson is on the DL.

 

Rogers Centre - Aggravating injuries since 1989.

[Captain Adama]

Robertson to DL with groin issue. Who's the Yankee closer now? Kelley?

 

Either him, or Warren. But ya gotta go with the vetrin. After all, it takes a special player to play such an important role like the closer of the Yankees.

He's has two VERY mediocre starts. So much for his hot end to 2013

 

That box score pitching line is very Happ-ish (please ask Lunchbox for definition)

[Boxcar]

What is up with the Sox/Rangers game? I thought it was supposed to start @ 7:10 but MLB.tv says it's still waiting for it to begin.

umm it's not 7:10 yet

My laptop clock is an hour ahead...lol wow I'm dumn

[G-Snarls]

TEX BOS now underway

 

Ceeb batting 9th again

[NorthOf49]

JP flied out. Looked like the usual Ceeb, he's not pulling a Yan Gomes on us guys.

 

Sizemore just slammed into the triangle on a Choo triple.

[G-Snarls]

Glad he's OK

 

I want bad things to happen to the Red Sox, but I'd like, at the same time, for Sizemore to have a nice comeback. He's worked hard enough for it.

[Angrioter]

Tanner Scheppers looking like a piece of s*** so far this season (fastball over and over again)

He's better suited as a reliever.

I'm hoping for Sizemore to have a nice season. He was one of the best players in baseball when healthy in my opinion.

It's on TSN 2. Gotta save internet bandwidth lol

Robertson is expected back in 15 days, from what I've read. It's not arm or shoulder related, which is a plus.
