Nah, the rumour according to Morisi, is they're trying to move Andrus. Yet, in this circumstance Profar or Odor make sense.

This is where it gets interesting as a coach ...

 

You have a guy who has been dominating ... and has a no-no going through 7. But he's already thrown 103 pitches. His 3 highest pitches thrown in a game this year are 105, 105 and 100. Assuming he makes it through the 8th with the no-no ... but, let's say, with 115 pitches thrown, do you let him go out for the 9th? At which total would you not let him go back out?

 

IDC.

 

If his fastball is still where it should be, he'll stay in.

 

IF he loses like 10 mph on his fastball, heave ho.

The pitcher makes the call...you just make sure he is feeling good and is in the right mindset....but one hit and you take them out

Stephen Drew breaks up the no-no. But still, dominating performance by Arrieta.

 

I'm was running up and down the street after Drew's hit. Watching Arrieta throw a no-no and NJH profiting from it would make me throw up and rage.

Well, looks like the Jays will have a 1 game lead. O's are going to win vs. the Rangers. Outside of Darvish, the Rangers rotation is ravaged by injuries.. no wonder they aren't contending.

Kay and co. are talking about pitch counts.. I'd hate to imagine what it was like with pitchers back before pitch counts were actually counted before teams started babying their pitchers due to the increasing costs.

Betances is struggling tonight.. of course, while he's had a great season so far, Joe Girardi is risking Scott Proctoring him(running him out for 100+ IP and wrecking his elbow.. ask Joe Torre) if he keeps using him at this pace.

O's win, Jays are 1.0 games up.

 

Rays now lead 3-2.. and the Yanks bullpen looks almost in worse shape than Toronto right now due to overuse.

 

Girardi shouldn't of wasted him last night when the Red Sox were winning late. This is what i mean when people want to fire Gibbons so fast. There are managers out there making stupid decisions every day. Just because Gibby makes a bad one here and there shouldn't mean he's fired.

True. At least Gibby does a reasonable job managing the bullpen. Girardi has already used Betances for 35 games and 48 IP, on pace for 100 IP, the same pace that got Scott Proctor's elbow blown out. It makes me wonder if the Yankees end up trading Betances, as he is the only commodity on the Yanks that has any decent value, as their farm is lousy, with valuation drops in their OF prospects, Gary Sanchez and Manny Banuelos. Luis Severino has promise.. but he's just as untouchable.

Robbie Thompson is just mad at Ellsbury right now.. he could've scored on Guyer's fielding error, and he stopped at 3rd, which was costly, as Beltran fouled out. Yanks are really struggling to score right now.

Out of division, but El Oso Blanco, aka Evan Gattis, is out, possibly for the rest of the season:

Gattis is going on the DL with a bulging thoracic disc.

 

He's likely facing surgery which would end his season. Good thing the Braves have Christian Bethancourt.

Kelley gets out of it by K'ing Joyce.

 

However, the Yankees have to win it this inning.. they're down to Jose A. Ramirez and Matt Thornton in the bullpen, with David Huff unlikely to be available.
