    The win is that he’ll be better than MAT offensively. But will he be?
  2. jkcarew
    But when is it ok to say Kepler’s having a good year? I know 110 OPS+ is nothing to write home about for a corner outfielder…but, you can win with it, it’s decent, and light years better than last season.

    Or maybe that pitch 5 inches off the plate will be a strike all night.
  4. jkcarew
    The umpire did everything he could.
  5. jkcarew
    Well, technically he struck a 94mph fastball with his hands. 😉
  6. jkcarew
    X-rays negative…contusion…looks like no IL stint. At least until after he sits about 6 games.
  7. jkcarew
    Note to Jhoan… THROW YOUR BLEEPING FASTBALL!
  8. jkcarew
    I’m guessing Farmer had not been in the tunnel taking swings?? Practice is overrated.
  9. jkcarew
    Force of habit. He forgot Julien was the DH tonight.
  10. jkcarew
    Fastballs and change ups to get ahead…sweeper to finish! who knew the sweeper would work better when the first one the batter sees is when he already has two strikes!!??!

    Jax back on the horse!

    Rocco was counting on one hand the number of innings remaining, and on the other hand relievers he’s willing to put into a tight game.
  13. jkcarew
    But Shaun Anderson.
  14. jkcarew
    It was an HR, which has been an issue, obviously. Otherwise dominated, though.
  15. jkcarew
    Figures…there are a lot of shores in Central America
  16. jkcarew
    Wow…I thought they might have finished last in the late 80’s early 90’s…had to have come close…those clubs were bad.
  17. jkcarew
    Someone that points out the obvious. Obviously!
  18. jkcarew
    But when was the last time the Yankees finished last in their division?

    I do think the team stacks up better for a playoff scenario than it has in recent past. Winning a game or series is more likely. Having said that, it doesn’t mean a series win is LIKELY…just more likely than the completely overmatched pitching in past series has rendered. And it’s going to have to be the starting pitching that does it. Not likely that the bullpen or lineup suddenly pull rabbits out of their hats…not in a scenario of more than a couple games, anyway.

    Then again, when the deadline acquisition bar is Sam Dyson and Jorge Lopez… Floro looks a little like Mariano Rivera
  21. jkcarew
    Add “I wanted Pagan to go two innings” to the list of things I never thought I’d say.
  22. jkcarew
    Lewis, Buxton, and Kirilloff…. we’ve named three…all three of whom 100-120 games played is looking like a healthy season. Maybe Lewis and Kirilloff can flip that narrative, but I think that ship has sailed with Buxton.
  23. jkcarew
    Have you seen the tracker? With a Twin at the plate, Twins fans would expect that to be called a ball 100% of the time. It was a huge break. Breaks happen. Twins did plenty enough to deserve the win regardless.
  24. jkcarew
    I think Rocco and the club covet his defensive flexibility. Doesn’t matter if you’re ‘neutral’, if neutral is better than the alternative AND your neutral at 3 different positions. That’s the argument, anyway. It might be a thin argument or plain horrible…if you could trust Kirilloff’s health. Still, it’s hard to fathom Buxton (who Gallo has been better than, btw), Lewis, and Kirilloff all returning and Gallo surviving. But it would not shock me in the least if rotating 10-day IL ‘injuries’ through the end of the year are used to keep guys like Luplow, Solano, Farmer, and Gallo around longer than any of us anticipate.
  25. jkcarew
    Today was 1000% an example of Rocco deciding BEFORE the game is played, what he wants to do with the bullpen. But a win’s a win. Rocco’s move and the ensuing huge break in the Bohm at-bat notwithstanding, that was a wonderfully pitched game.
