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

Shame Tanaka will be pitching Tuesday. Even with the off day on Monday it would be nice to get deep in their pen.

 

One note to consider is that Tanaka will be facing the Jays for the 2nd time. Last time he faced an opponent for a 2nd time, he lost (Cubs). And we did hit him a little bit the 1st time.. but McGowan didn't pitch well (when he was starting.)

dude, the game hasn't been played yet. even the best will get knocked around from time to time. the odds may not be in favour of the jays, but the jays have played well against some of the league's better pitchers

Nice! Something that's not said ever on this forum and needs to be: the Yankees are bad. Just not a good team. The panicky folks would benefit greatly from understanding this.

 

Their offense is very meh. Ellsbury and Gardner are decent/good, McCann and Solarte are okay, Tex is okay if healthy... and that's it. Team wRC+ of 91. We shouldn't be at all scared of them. Fangraphs has them as a .490 winning percentage team. Granted, the pitching is good with Tanaka and Kuroda, but those two can't carry the entire team.

 

If they had signed Jubaldo Jimenez or Matt Garza instead of Tanaka, they'd probaby be sitting at 31-37 instead of 35-33 right now.

Losing both CC and Pineda really hurt them. I'm not worried about the Yankees at all.

Pineda will probably be really good when he gets back

 

Can they say the same about Sabbathia?

Meanwhile, Jesus Montero played 29 games last year, and ONE so far this year

 

Holy shite, what a clusterf*** of a trade...

Most people thought he was going to be s*** when his velocity was down (including myself) but he was actually decent just unlucky to start the year. ( BABIP: 350, HR/FB 23.3%) His xFIP was 3.12 through 46 innings. I think he'll be useful once he returns.

PD numbers are elite: 10.5 SwStr%, 70.3 F-Strike%, 34.4 O-Swing%. Those rates will make a pitcher very successful.

 

CC can still get strikeouts, he doesn't walk many hitters, and he gets ground balls. Silly to think the bad ERA this year and in 2013 will continue.

 

Absolutely.

Buster Posey hit hard in mask for second time this week. Looked shaken up and was removed from the game.

f*** yes! 6/9 next games against the Yankees. Time to do some damage to their playoff hopes.

 

Ooh, I didn't realize

 

Yeah, this would be a good time to get hot again

No. KLaw tearing up Cameron's life's work lol. We all like projections but they're not facts you can just pull out to win an argument.

 

He seems to be on the prowl extra tonight. Tore into the A's for giving Jeter's foundation $100k.

 

Also ripping Doc and his Oreos variations golden flavoured (click on the link for picture showing Doc eating said cookies)

That's what I was thinking. Although he spent yesterday shredding Jimmy Rollins. Friday he tore into Rick Reilly and Clint Hurdle. So maybe not Father's Day specific lol.

 

He's right about what he's been arguing about nonetheless.

 

Oh for sure he is

 

It just seems like he's just taking this thing vs Fangraphs (and Doc's choice in cookies) to an unnecessarily personal nasty level

 

"Cool story bro". What is he, a third-tier BJMB poster or something??

He had a tweet about how the A's should have donated to some local Oakland charity instead of Jeter's charity.

 

I mean if we really want to get anal, why does the Oakland charity deserve to have donations more so than charities where people live in 3rd world countries?

 

It's a never ending argument

That was actually pretty awesome, seeing both of today's poster boys for scouting and sabermetrics get into it.

 

 

Bard's career has hit rock bottom:

http://nesn.com/2014/06/daniel-bards-career-hits-rock-bottom-with-crazy-single-a-stat-line/

 

"Bard has faced 18 batters. He has issued nine walks and hit seven batters. In other words, hitters very rarely have had an opportunity to swing the bat. His two outs have come via a strikeout and a comebacker to the mound."

 

That was pretty hard to read. Always liked Bard. Had no idea he was struggling that hard now. I know this probably doesn't pertain, but f*** you Farrell.

 

 

Oh for sure he is

That made me laugh.
