Yankees @ Toronto Blue Bisons - Game 1 of 3

[Jonn]

Is merryweather gonna go the rest of the way?

 

Possibly but that would surprise me.

[Spanky99]

I've seen Romero hit 98 fairly regularly, I'm guessing he's hit 99 also.

 

Who is this Romero you speak of?

[Ex Player]

We have 3 legit closers on this team. 4 if you count Bass.

 

Giles, Romano and JM

[Dokken]

I've seen Romero hit 98 fairly regularly, I'm guessing he's hit 99 also.

 

yeah this BP is a lot more intimidating than a year ago (when they are all in the lineup)!

Call me crazy but I think Merryweather will be better than Pearson next year. Obviously age is a big difference but im slotting him ahead in the rotation.

 

Depends if Pearson is healthy and finds his command again. I have my doubts he was overly healthy to begin with. His inconsistent velocity was a major indicator of that.

[BlueRocky]

Clarke Schmidt filthy stuff

 

#2 Yankees prospect behind Jasson Dominguez according to Baseball America

[Deadpool]

Who is this Romero you speak of?

 

Hey man, I just woke up (worked 22 of 30 hours between noon yesterday and 6pm tonight...)

[Jonn]

This a very interesting spot to use a top pitching prospect. But you do what you gotta do

[Jonn]

Look at that on base percentage for Panik. Wow. Throughly impressed how he came on after his god awful start

[BlueRocky]

Generous call by the ump, will take it.

[dineke]

Panik can't hit the ball out of the infield but pitchers walk him 99% of the time

[Deadpool]

Man, those guys were SUPER happy for Jano after the slam.

[Jonn]

Bass is pitching the 9th I assume to get some confidence back.

[BlueRocky]

Let’s Go Biggio

[Corporal Valdal]

Whats been up with Biggio lately?

[Deadpool]

Merryweather's FIP and xFIP actually went up after his 2 inning, no hit (1 walk, 1 k) performance.

 

He's been such a pleasant surprise, I'm super high on him.

[Captain Adama]

It feels so good to see the opposing team have back-to-back base hits and not have to give a f***.

[Terminator]

Panik can't hit the ball out of the infield but pitchers walk him 99% of the time

 

He's always had a very good eye. 9.7% K rate is elite. 8.2% walk rate for someone with that little power is also very good.

 

Somehow his sprint speed has even bounced back to where it was when he was a rookie. He didn't always suck, he was a 4 WAR player in 2015 and a 2 WAR player in 16 and 17. I wonder if he was playing hurt the past two years.

[BlueRocky]

Bass is pitching the 9th I assume to get some confidence back.

 

Oops

[Slade]

Merryweather's FIP and xFIP actually went up after his 2 inning, no hit (1 walk, 1 k) performance.

 

He's been such a pleasant surprise, I'm super high on him.

 

Big stuff will be nice to see him in the rotation but he was missing a lot today. His stuff is overpowering though.

Deep lineup

 

Having Rowdy at 1B and Vladdy DH would be even better.

[Deadpool]

Big stuff will be nice to see him in the rotation but he was missing a lot today. His stuff is overpowering though.

 

I mean, the 20 MPH difference between his fast ball and changeup is just absurd.

 

Nice win guys, way to go!

[BlueRocky]

Great Win!

[Ex Player]

Meh, we'll give the Yankees 1 run. We're nice like that

[gruber92]

Villar is nowhere near the fielder he gets advertised as.

[EdwinsParrot]

gg boys

As long as he stays healthy, which i think he should coming out of the pen.

[Terminator]

This was one of the most enjoyable games I've seen in recent years

[Spanky99]

It feels so good to see the opposing team have back-to-back base hits and not have to give a f***.

 

lol... no s***.
