How special this team can be will really turn on how well Rodon and Cole pitch in their returns from injury.
So today begins a notable spotlight on Rodon. I don’t expect much in his first game, but obviously he needs to soon round into form.
Henderson is a really nice pitching prospect. Patrick pitched well against the Yankees, and he lost his rotation spot to Henderson, which says a lot about Henderson, I think.
About the Author
Was that Trent AB a sign of what’s coming this afternoon?
Na gonna get that one.
Why are you playing for one run in the first fucking inning?
Escarra 211/592-Wells 183/609
If Gary has learned to catch at all, he’d be an interesting guy next season.
Didn’t like the leadoff walk, but overall, good first inning back by Rodón.
Rays up 3-0 in the fourth.
Spence off the schneid
ERC 4.2i 1r 6h 6k 2bb 94 pitches, way too many.
Carlos Rodonning
Yankee pitchers only hit batters at the absolute worst, dumbest times.
Walk, walk, HBP, passed ball, double. Rodon self destructing, Rodonning, he can’t handle adversity.
He’s all the way back.
I picked the wrong weekend to stop sniffing glue.
I said before the game that I’d give him some leeway in Game 1, but yeah, he better not keep up this shit going forward.
They’re gonna get swept by the Brewers.
Bird pitched to 2 batters. Struck them. both out. Nine pitches. So Boone goes to……………Blackburn
Rays win.
Lombard 0-3, 176/593. phenom 0-4, 205/571. Help is on the way.
I think the Brewers have a better pen than we do.
Their pitching in general was very much on display in this series.
At the same time, though, Murphy managed this shit like it was the World Series. Odd stuff from him.
Judge watching strike 2 and then strike three, really?
Getting swept by the Brewers means the swoon has begun early.
I knew they weren’t winning this one, you knew they weren’t winning this one,
They were winning like crazy.
That went south in a hurry.
But if not for Boone, they’d have one at least one, maybe two of these games, and nobody’d be particularly bothered.
Very disappointing, Bednar!
Does Boone ever make the right call in a close game?
Anyone available to pinch hit for JC in the 9th?
Rosario 816 OPS but thou shall not pinch hit right on right even if Escarra is the guy up.
Yeah, I was irked by two things that inning.
One, as ALWAYS, the hitters didn’t allow Caballero to steal second.
Two, yes, the idea that neither Goldy nor Rosario was batting for Escarra was fucking BONKERS. I’d take Max fucking Schuemann at that point!
One pen is very good. One pen is just OK. A top heavy lineup doesn’t help, 207-218–259-111-195. Thirty nine strike outs in three games is sub optimal.
They f[l]ailed.
Both.
Yankees with a 6 game lead in the Pythag which is the only metric that counts..
In all seriousness, that IS significant this early in the season. It suggests that they’re playing over their heads.
And the Rays?
Ba-dum, tish!
Cole 5ip 3r 2er 4h 8k 1bb 51/77 strikes/pitches
Only 4 teams in the AL over 500. And only 2 teams more than 4 games over. Alas the other team plays in our division
So, 1-9 v. teams above 500?
when i posted that i was looking for the sweep with Spencer Jones, this isn’t *exactly* what I had in mind.
embarrasing
