Pillar will pretty much kill himself to get an out.

Pretty sure he means if they see him doing what he's doing now, which is pitching one day and then hitting 3 days a week.
loogys are going to destroy this lineup
edit: well any pitcher but having 4 lefties in a row isnt too smart.
Kinda surprised that they're putting Inciarte in LF and Mallex in CF instead of the other way around.
Edit: This is interesting:

What happened? I heard them talk about on the tv broadcast, but didn't know what they were referring too.

What? What happened?
I watched Better Call Saul because I was bored and knew they'd lose.

Gotta think there's basically a 0 percent chance of this happening. Maybe in the AL as a DH, but that's it. Still don't think teams will go for it.

Barney got excited getting a RBI hit off of Kersh. But then cost his team a couple of errors throughout the game after that,
I'm just over reacting to it. Probably because Barney sucked as a Dodger. But anyone got footage of that catch? He dove pretty far to get that ball

Way to start the game! Three run monster blast from Kendrys Morales. 420+ feet.
I think the Royals have scored three runs maybe twice in the last two weeks...

Worst contract: Panda or Price?
Nah I'm joking but really tho it's about to get real uncomfortable in Beantown for DP if he can't turn it around quickly.

Rick Monday is great. Steiner grates on me though. The exaggeration thing is dead on, but he's also not great at filling in time with anything particularly interesting. Maybe it's just that he comes on after Vin and how does anyone do that really.

@ the walk/strikeout % numbers. How soon is "soon"?
He only has one year were it's below 10%. This year it's at 8 so far but hopefully that improves. You can live with the strikeouts as long as his walk rate is above average.
Yankees should just let him have one more year in the minors and give him a roster spot next spring training.
yay not over!
Jim Allen thinks he would have been the best batter in NPB if he had focused 100% on it, so he's going to hype the idea. But from all the reports over the last few years it's clear batting is important to the guy so yeah, you'd think he'd end up in the NL. Gotta be Dodgers or Giants unless someone unloads cash to beat them.

oh
now its over

Given this context:
The Yankees pretty much need his production right now, even in his current state.

How do you come to the conclusion that he's having trouble? I'm not trying to be crass, I'm genuinely curious - I'm not too savvy with advanced statistics. To me, his numbers say that he's doing well above average offensively but needs to work on his patience and selectivity.

Ian Kennedy has pitched six scoreless innings. In 2016.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
wtf was that Drew and Gio?

He's not walking and striking out a lot. Those are often pretty good indicators of how a guy is going at the plate. Combine that with the high BABIP and I think he'd be eaten alive by major league pitching. That's not to say he's going to be a bust, but bringing him up now could also destroy his confidence. Let him marinate a little more.
Ahh ok, I gotcha. Thanks.
It's going to be a long year at the plate for the Yanks.

Ian Kennedy is rocking today. Seven shutout innings, great control, and really good body language.

Rex Hudler just told a story on the Royals broadcast about playing for the Angels under owner Gene Autry. He says, and I quote, "Gene had a custom cane he'd use to walk around. It was made from a certain part of a bull's anatomy."
WTF part could that be? A leg? He was implying something like a penis, which makes zero sense. Hud gonna Hud.

It seems like he makes hard contact a lot. So hopefully soon.
I'm not sure you guys need another guy beasting right now!
You know a player is special when he has over half of the team's dingers.
It is a penis, I've seen them before. The owners always think they are incredibly clever.

Cubs clubhouse looks sweet
Lol.
i don't think Chip, Joe and Glavine understand the infield shift. HRs are not what they are defending against guys.
