Yankees prospects have to be the most overrated in the business. Noesi is a bum and God forbid if Montero can even reach the warning track.

30 ab for montero...

 

[Syphon Filter]

Yankees time!

 

[h3ro]

Yanks on Fox. eww.


buck or waldman. PICK YOUR POISON.

 

[vas_a_morir]

In a series like this, where every game is decided by one run in extra innings, the presence of a veteran all-star starter like Brandon Phillips is sorely missed. I don't know if it would make a difference or not... but I feel statistically Reds coulda walked away with one of those games.

 

[Y2Kev]

Hughes really has absolutely no out pitch. It's going to be tough.

 

[FOOTE]

Stupid weather.

 

[cashman]

Yu gonna get it twins.

 

[h3ro]

Jeterian.

 

[Wellington]

It's clear Tex is the better defensive 1B in today's matchup, sorry poo-holes! Trollolol

 

[Y2Kev]

Anyone remember when sucky CJ wilson blew the allstar game? indeed

 

[acheron_xl]

Boy, I really wish I was watching baseball right now.

Fucking Fox.

 

[Y2Kev]

He's gonna walk Alberto Cay-ass-po

 

[CygnusXS]

Darvish ain't got no friend in this umpire.

 

[newjeruse]

Yankee Stadium.

lol

 

[h3ro]

Blah. C'mon phillip.

 

[cashman]

Fuck Michael young.

 

[JambiBum]

God damn Buck is horrible. I can't stand listening to him.

 

[clemenx]

Fuck Michael young.

Why would you ever have Young anywhere 3B when you have Adrian Beltre.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

So Wright will play with fractured pinky. Hopefully it wont hamper him too much.

 

[Kccitystar]

Fucking Hughes. 6 earned runs, 6 strikeouts. Christ.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Well, at least he's pitching in the low to mid 90's again. Terrible outing though.

 

[CygnusXS]

So did Hughes' ERA go up or down?

 

[jman2050]

Angels suck, Phil Hughes is kaka, bring back Andy!

 

[h3ro]

Andrew Eugene Pettitte. Please come back soon.

 

[Malo]

At least Hughes has his velocity back and got 6k's. Did horseface get an error on that play?

 

[weekend_warrior]

So did Hughes' ERA go up or down?

Um, up. He only gave up 2 runs in 5 innings against the Rays.

no.

 

[Doogdogg]

Watching the game, Hughes gotten away with a tons of mistake to hitters. I wonder when he would get burn by it. Didn't take long after the lineup turnover.

 

[CygnusXS]

Um, up. He only gave up 2 runs in 5 innings against the Rays.

It was a bad stats joke. I blame it on being a Saturday morning.

 

[Judderman]

Sigh...

 

[LJ11]

So Wright will play with fractured pinky. Hopefully it wont hamper him too much.

Will probably make the injury worse, he'll end up on the DL for a month.

 

[The Frankman]

Well the injury was with pain tolerance...

also last call if anyone wants in the NeoGAF League! we need 1 more since we have 23.

Lj11 how about it?

Would've signed up if I could make the commitment Frank, can't. good luck though.

 

[CygnusXS]

Does anyone else think Vernon Wells will be good this year? I do. I think that.

 

[The Frankman]

gotcha, no prob man.

Wait, does this man Wright is playing today? DAMMIT this is the game I wanted to goto but I didn't buy tickets!

Does anyone else think Vernon Wells will be good this year? I do. I think that.

I think .270/15/65 isn't a stretch.

 

[Y2Kev]

hughes is worse than DMC2

 

[Malo]

Does anyone else think Vernon Wells will be good this year? I do. I think that.

Only if you think Fredi is a good manager as well.

 

[Wellington]

Welp, it was a nice four game win streak.

 

[h3ro]

Mama said there'd would be days like this...

 

[CygnusXS]

Only if you think Fredi is a good manager as well.

Well, I'm just going to throw this out here:

Year - wRC+

2006 - 129
2007 - 82
2008 - 117
2009 - 86
2010 - 125
2011 - 77
2012 - ???

He's still only 33, another above average year with the bat is possible. His fielding is a lost cause though.

 

[Syphon Filter]

quit being weak minded , there is still time!

Wright said he has been undergoing treatment and performing exercises as advised by the hand specialist in an effort to promote healing and said his pinky “feels a lot better today, obviously.”

Wright said he will wear a little extra padding to protect his pinky, but it should not prevent him from performing normal activities during the game.

 

[yankeehater]

Does anyone else think Vernon Wells will be good this year? I do. I think that.

I drafted him in fantasy I definitely think he is going to have a bounce back year.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Fucking shitty hitters. What fearsome 3-4-5 hitters we have. 3 RBI between them.

 

[CygnusXS]

I drafted him in fantasy I definitely think he is going to have a bounce back year.

I like it when we agree on things. Also I should eat a little bit of crow and say that yeah, Galvis is probably better with the glove than Utley in his prime.

For him to have a good offensive season he's going to need to slug a lot since his on base skills are worse than Cano and are non-existent. I could see it happening, but I wouldn't bet on it.

 

[cashman]

Darvish was still pretty sloppy today, but if beltre was at third, he'd have a shut out.

 

[CygnusXS]

Did you guys know that the Mets are the only team that has 0 stolen bases this year?

Also neat: Braves SB totals.

Heyward: 2
Bourn: 1
McCann: 1 (lol)
Everyone else: 0

 

[yankeehater]

Me to. I am sure I was being a bit to harsh towards Utley since last year is still so fresh in my mind. He was a really good 2nd baseman in his prime.

 

[The Frankman]

Torres and Wright getting hurt factor in but it's a stark contrast to ST where everybody on the Mets ran.
