    Why would Rosario be a lock while Hicks is bound to struggle in your opinion? Hicks: .276/.327/.423 WRC+ 105 Rosario: .279/.301/.455 WRC+ 104 Now, from these stats they have been fairly similiar with Rosario showing more slugging and Hicks are higher OBP. What these stats don't show you is Rosario's BB% of 3.2% and K% of 23.6%, meanwhile Hicks BB% is 6.9 and K% is 15.8%. While Hick's BB% is down considerably from last year, his K% is down almost 10%. Eddie needs to figure out how to cut down on that K% if he is virtually never going to walk. While their averages are the same, Rosario's is fueled by a .348 BABIP, which while not as high as Dan San's .405 last year, it is probably unsustainable. Even with Hick's struggle against right handed batters, Rosario struggles against lefties are near identical. Hicks vs RHP: .243/.293/.355 .639 OPS wRC+ 76 Rosario vs LHP: .241/.273/.367 .641 OPS wRC+ 73 If anything they would make a pretty insane platoon for each other.

    Forget the closer's role and play matchups. With O'Rourke, Jepsen and May you should be able to get most matchups in your favor, not that it always works out....

    Pelf needs to be his normal self today and keep the ball down. It would also be really nice to knock Sabathia around after watching all those times of him shutting down this lineup.

    Agreed. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to watch him play much outside of highlights, so I am going by figures only. He is only 26, that's a good call.

    Anyone worried about Norris's fairly terrible line at the plate this year? The 13 HR are nice, but .245/.289/.410 isn't anything to call home about. You could blame Petco a tad, but that doesn't account for the plummeting BB% and rising K%.
  7. SwainZag
    You could blame it on a dead arm, though he was throwing harder tonight on both pitches than his season averages.
  8. SwainZag
    I would say if anything is clear that this year proved that neither of them should be a candidate for a starting SS for the future. You could say most already knew that but...

    A lot of pitches for a guy who should be getting a lot more groundballs and having relatively quick AB's. Not a good night for Gibby.

    Dave's post-loss thread going up in 3..2...1...
  11. SwainZag
    Lol. What else would happen at Yankee Stadium to this team?
  12. SwainZag
    Well.......if they EVER needed a K, this is it.
  13. SwainZag
    Add to the fact he has pitched now 3 days in a row..
  14. SwainZag
    Sigh. Not a good start Perk.
  15. SwainZag
    Betances average 96.9 this year, Hoey averaged 95.3 in his long 2 year career. I will say....I really thought Hoey was hitting the high 90's, but apparently I am wrong.
  16. SwainZag
    I have a feeling if he would have been on 2nd he would have been pinch run for
  17. SwainZag
    Lefties have lit up Perk pretty good this year.
  18. SwainZag
    Jim Hoey says "Hey."
  19. SwainZag
    Now would be a good time to see Eddie swing at one at eye level and pull it over the RF wall
  20. SwainZag
    I love hard throwing-emotional-yelling Fien
  21. SwainZag
    To be fair, not many teams have an answer to Betances.
  22. SwainZag
    Dat bullpen
  23. SwainZag
    That's one........now let's have that ground ball DP Casey.....
  24. SwainZag
    2 lefties reach in a row against O'Rourke....ouch.
  25. SwainZag
    That's a big K there for Duensing!
