How were the Twins able to add Alex Jackson so easily? He sucks, too, but he probably sucks less than Ali Sanchez.
Definitely not the point in time when you want to be throwing out both a spot starter AND a house money lineup. Ugh.
About the Author
Fried to start throwing BP, but he the earliest he’ll be back in the Majors is fucking AUGUST.
Who would you folks prefer as the new #5 starter? Beck or ERC?
Blackburn?
He’s become too valuable in the pen. Yarbrough?
Yeah Yarbrough was fine last year in that role.
ERC it is.
Fourth of July Twinkie Fireworks.
Did the fans have to pay to sit in 95 degree weather and watch this or were they giving out free tickets like at Comedy Clubs?
You know you’re bad when you’re making the Twins look good. I can’t begrudge them for this spot start, as ERC is not available but they need a replacement for this next turn through the rotation.
Who will finish with a higher July BA Cody or Wells.
Why is Jazz so terrible this year?
Yankees are 8th in runs scored and 25th in BA for the season, for the last 15 days Yankees are 29th in runs scored and dead last in BA. Is BA the new Moneyball stat?
As it reflects contact I think you’re on to something. Feels like I’ve seen awful lot of strikeouts with runner on third and less than two outs.
Boone is just punting this game.
Beck provided early fireworks. Just ugly.
It’s bad, no doubt, but with the Rodon injury out of nowhere, they were stuck with Beck, so i can’t give them SO much grief.
Beck clearly is an AAAA guy.
A rare ground ball out.
At least they should make Beck eat some innings.
Tim Hill becoming a fly ball pitcher has been very, very bad.
Why is Boone using so many relievers in the fifth inning?
Wants to keep the game close.
Game is getting close.
Shelton is so afraid of using his pen.” These are the Yankees buddy.
Bad, bad chase Amed
Yankees being the Yankees. 1-8 RISP, 5 LOB last 2 innings
Insanity.
Once it got 6-4, they probably should have started using Headrick.
