363 Duda!!

Was that the Jeter Retirement Tour Strike Zone there? 2 of those balls were strikes, one obviously so.

A team can hit more homeruns in a night at Yankee Stadium than they do in an entire week at home. Little league.

Can we trade Granderson to the Yankees for a bag of balls? he BELONGS in this park and will keep striking/flying out in ours.

It took the death of a young girl for them to start doing just that in hockey and had this ball gone eight inches to either side this may have been the incident which started that ball rolling in MLB Edgy MD wrote: That's the problem. The netting will go up after someone gets killed. Latter day stadia have placed the seats so much closer to the plate. I don't think someone getting hurt is the problem. I think the rest of us losing out on the superior "no nets" stadium experience because some shmuck cant pay attention is the problem. Seriously, go sit somewhere else.

Dopey fan not even watching as line drive barely misses his head. http://gfycat.com/NeatMeekHuman#

fucking lame way to lose

edit - the post i was responding too disappeared.

Great job by Farnsworth, and break out the DVR for the next time anyone complains about the defense of Travis d'Arnaud, he blocked multiple pitches in the durt including properly 'squaring up' his body on one that bounced off his chest. he also did some nice pitch framing.

back to back walks from the walk-happy Matsuzaka, a scorching line drive right by his head, an error on Q (on a hard liner that went off his glove), and then a scorched double in the gap... This is exactly what I was saying about Matsuzaka, the walks always come back to bite you and the hits will eventually fall in line with league-BABIP while the walks keep on coming, his hot start was an ILLUSION

Edgy MD wrote: ... get "rewarded" for being unable to warm up quicker. The notion isn't to reward him for not warming up quicker. The notion is to recognize that he's been effective and to seek to improve the team, possibly by giving him a starting role. my point is only that i'm not moving someone from the bullpen to the rotation, when a more deserving/better pitcher is in the rotation, based on the reliever's inability to get warm quickly. Edgy MD wrote: If Matsuzaka can't warm up effectively as a reliever then CUT him.... Do you realize he leads the team in ERA? WHIP? K/9? H/9? Cutting him would rightfully be a scandal. He's thrown 10 innings, lets not let the crazy small sample size fool us. If you want to get technical about things he leads the team in NONE of those rate stats as the minimum number of innings to be considered the leader in any rate stat is 1 per team game. But since you actually want to use small sample sizes, lets not forget that he has walked 6 batters in 10 innings. that is a bad rate that will lead to many more runs when the hits start falling if he doesnt get it under control Edgy MD wrote: ...he's not important enough to displace Mejia under the circumstances Neither was the likes of R.A. Dickey, until he was. At what point do you recognize that a retread playing well has become an asset? this makes no sense, do you want examples of all the guys who WERE given more playing time but didn't do well? my point/argument is that, right now, the full picture for Mejia(Mejia's potential value to both the present and future of the team at 24 years old, Mejia's past performance, Mejia's performance so far this year) looks to me like continuing to use him in the rotation instead of Matsuzaka is the right move for the Mets, with the higher upside.

I'm not ready to bounce Mejia from the rotation yet, maybe after a few more bad starts in a row. I'd rather watch a young guy grow on the job when he's at least had some success as Mejia has. I'd rather not see another old guy who may not pitch any better get "rewarded" for being unable to warm up quicker. If Matsuzaka can't warm up effectively as a reliever then CUT him, he's not important enough to displace Mejia under the circumstances

I like this lineup best with the current roster, but I do wonder when/if Curtis will end the season-long slump. Its only Year 1 of this albatross of a contract

The entire AL East has a negative run differential. Yankees are the only team above. 500 and apparently feasting on their suddenly weak division.
