well at least we are going to set the major league record for most pitches in one at bat

25 outs to go!

Tulo had a .189 Babip coming into today. He is still showing power, he is going to be fine.

what happened to smoak and why is dominguez hitting 6th and not 8th

Jose get's 4, maybe 5 from someone else....edwin will get at least 4 offered from someone.

you have a bad memory, because he cost us a few games last year early and he didn't give up a run in the second half either. He is going to rebound this year too. The sky is not falling in....I promise!

everyone gets tested day one of training camp for physicals. I forget to grab milk on the way home from work once in a while, but it's hard to believe you'd forget that you were taking a banned substance. Maybe it just stayed in his system longer than he thought it would and he just cut it too close. It seems odd and reckless if he did it knowingly.

bautista's getting paid at the end of this season

good swing there...no luck for goins

Is your blow up doll really so sexually appealing that you wouldn't look twice at redmond?

man I'm glad we didn't get bruce

yeah....brain cramp indeed, but a single, a walk and a double in 4 trips to the plate aint too shabby

edwin bails saunders out

Sanchez is a ground ball God #oneluckysonofabitch

ha ha...and I've always said my blue jay bias affects my judgement.

1 out of 3 isn't exactly something to brag about..lol.

He hit martin right in the glove at the top of the zone and on the corner and martin turned to the ump and said that was a strike. Zaun replayed those throws and said those were strikes. You need to go so a counselor, you have a problem. You are a Sanchez hater. You were posting in this thread in the second inning of the game. You couldn't wait to tell everyone what a terrible pitcher Sanchez was. I equally need some counselling for my Sanchez fetish, but not as much as Jim's 24-7 Sanchez boner. Let the kid pitch 50+ innings and we'll have a bit better understanding of where we are at. Even good pitchers have bad outings occasionally.

Actually, he faced just over 79% lefties tonight, and against the Rays he faced lefties 54% of the time and as mentioned, the Yankee lefties are much better than the Rays lefties. Sanchez faced one of the toughest lineups for him that he will face all year. Even 7 swinging strikes is a 7.2% swinging strike rate against a lineup terribly disproportionate to what he will face on a regular basis. That 7.2% is higher than what he had the previous 2 years! He probably should have had 3 swinging strikes facing such a high percentage of lefties. Trying to analyze and project stats off 97 pitches is indeed stupid, but NJH started it. Just the eye test, Sanchez didn't have the comeback 2 seamer that hit the inside corner against lefties that I saw in spring training. He wasn't as sharp as he was in spring or last outing, but he still made a lot of quality pitches, but he missed a bit more than in his previous couple outings. Sanchez, not at his best and pitching against a quality tough lefty loaded lineup, getting the results he did tonight is pretty encouraging. He walked 3 fighting the ump, but he still struck out 5 in 6 innings. I'll take that and look forward to his next start.

Sanchez should be traded now!

he has a .250 babip...just bad luck! I'm not saying he should be the lead off hitter, in fact I changed my stance on this a couple weeks ago. I'm saying it's a bit early to be bringing out the I told you so attitude.

almost as bad as using a 5 game sample size worth of statistics to try and make a point.

out...and he struck out anyways

holy crap...stro show in full force tonight

this offense is sick

I'm in on edwin
