Sanchez not playing tonight! Binders.
I feel a little bad for Headley - he had a nice few weeks, then quickly remembered he's Chase Headley.
I'm guessing All-Star break for Torres?
But we're paying him $12 million this year, so I don't feel too bad
Speaking chinese food, Torres pulled something today?
Say it ain't so Joe - ( New Window )
I can't believe that any food at Metrotown is "good". You must have been eating with your eyes. Vancouver has much to offer in that regard.
I'd love to find someone to take him but I don't see him adding value to a package for a starter who is appreciably better than Cessa/Green. I think he will be a throw-in.
For now let's just hope Torres didn't rolled his ankle playing 3B.
Cactus Club is actually pretty good. They changed their menu a few years ago. My wife drags me there at least twice a month (downtown locations). Lot of talent there - on and off the menu.
I'm still trying to figure out what he throws. I can't tell if he is a sinker-cutter pitcher or a a FA/FT combo with good movement.

And a buddy of mine ended up smashing a waitress at Cactus Club on Kingsway that night. I vaguely remember their Lingcod being passable. Solid evening for all.

Agree. Our servers were smoking. And the disinterested hostess wasn't fooling anyone.

to strike out Cain. Good 1st inning

If Montgomery throws that pitch consistently to the hands of righty hitters he will be a solid big league starter. His stuff is OK but not dominating so he needs location with a specific pitch to righties
I agree, although Judge seems to just take it as good fun, which is a healthy attitude. Hoping it doesn't add pressure for him.

Can we let him be good for a whole year first?

Thought the same thing...
Agree. It's a silly ploy to draw more attention to the Yankee brand. Let the kid breathe a little.
If it "fails" he'll be killed in the media despite not having anything to do with such a gimmick.
Fuckin lite-Steins and Levine are trash.
I like it - but I think it is a year early. If they know Judge better than I do - which is arguably true - i'm hoping they factored in what will help him on the field.
Well done son.
1-0
The umps need to judge Judge's strikezone better. They keep calling too many pitches at his ankles because that is where normal men have their knees.
He has got to start covering that pitch. He seems to get called out at least once per game on that low outside strike. Just needs to poke one down the line a few times to protect against that being a called third strike.
I don't disagree. But when a pitcher has nasty breaking stuff like Duffy, it is sometimes worth swinging a 1st pitch FB.
