with a 120mph laser into Solarte's glove.

I was reading his launch angle is way down so far this year. If there is something to that you sure can see it in the balls in play so far.
Feels like a new beginning to the season.

Perfect weather, Sevy on the mound, Gleyber's debut.
Damn , I think didi has hit the next level  
DennyInDenville : 4/22/2018 1:25 pm : link
I thought last season was his ceiling..

But with the added walks, supreme confidence, leadership and now even more power, is he becoming a superstar?

Is this the real Didi? Will he get even better? Pretty cool stuff.

Also, gotta love Torreyes! Guy is such a pro and perfect 25th man, the way he is showing Gleyber Torres the way is truly wholesome.

Toe needs to stay, Wade will never be Toe.

Read this article. He has recently been quoted as saying that when he got this issue under control he felt much much stronger and explosive. I'd say his ceiling is what we will see this season or next.

That was a great read , thanks! Never knew that about Didi, its pretty amazing he's dealt with all that, and how little power he once had. What a great move by Cashman, it can't be said enough what a great trade that was.

I didn't wanna say it out loud but i totally agree. That's a ball even ellsbury tracks with ease as a pro.

Hicks is good in CF and we know his arm is great but his finesse in CF is B grade. He's elite in the corners however.

No I mean should. His nonchalance is something I've seen on how he tracks alot of balls. An average CFer doesn't even get to that ball but he should have been there with enough time to make that catch.

Eh, he got there and I'd bet he makes that catch 7 out of 10 times. Not easy. Kiermyer, Pillar, Gardy and some others...

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 2:21 pm : link
if he can just lay off some of those off-speed pitches and improve his pitch recognition he is going to put some pressure on Bird.
this umpire

Nice win, take a series against a good team.  
Victor in CT : 4/22/2018 5:48 pm : link
* Andujar raking! Good at bats, nice d too. Drury will be Wally Pipped at this rate. Like O'Neill comments about the doubles keep pressure on the pitcher more so than a dinger.
* Severino the man
* Good paul O'Neill comments on the Hicks steal, that sabremetrics doesn't pick up the things like pressuring the d by running, forcing errors.
*Replay is a fucking joke. As Kay said, took us 6 seconds to see he was off the bag. how do they blow that? I'd rather see the on field call left Alone And a good dirt throwing argument. It's more entertaining, especially if they can't even get the most obvious call right

I point out that we did and do need Gray until we develop starting pitchers.

The achilles heel of this team is starting pitching.

Keprelian was not better than Gray last year, this year and maybe next year.

the only difference is that Kaprelain is injured. You can't make that comparison. Gray has been horse shit since he got here, but he is physically able to play.

Agree that Gray is a better pitcher right now. Gray has to buy into using and trusting his stuff. Stop the nibbling and get ahead. I don't know why he continues to be off the plate so much. He just needs to throw strikes and not be afraid to get hit. The walks are what kills him, not hits.
93-95 mph FB with movement; filthy breaking stuff and change. He has everything a great pitcher needs, but seems to lack trust in it.
could also be that Gray is one of those guys who can't handle

Yes we can make that comparison

Yes i acknowledge he was injured.

I said...operative word...NOW.

the point is that Gray is all we had or could have had as a SP last year and this year and may still be better next year.

I dont think he is good at all. I dont think he is a Number 3. Pitches like a 5 on a good playoff team

The comment is about the state of Yankee starting pitching. We all want to hold on to every prospect.

We cant. Or we hopa hopa this year and buy expensive next year.

Yeah Sheffield. Could be great. Would be a rookie.

NOW...for now Gray is what we have. I agree he is not good enough especially with CC and Tanaka being injury prone.

We agree now that i clarified?

Struggling bigtime. Especially mateo.

And kaprellian still hasn't made it back into games yet I think.

silver lining to not getting Cole, Andujar looks like the real deal and we love Torres. Frazier prob wasn't gonna get us Cole, but we will need Frazier .

Gardy is quietly struggling at the dish but he's working counts and his Obp at .362 ish is very solid for now

Has Fowler even made it back yet ? I can't find any stats on him.

Yes so far in 64 ABs he's OPSing in around .560

In retrospect, sounds like we were in violent agreement.

Take care

Yep. My dislike of Gray must be seeping into my writing :-)
He makes me think of

I’m surprised how Gray is pitching. I hope it’s not Ed Whitson part duex. He performed a lot better on the A’s.
thus far he is more Whitson and Rogers to me.  
Victor in CT : 4/23/2018 1:14 pm : link
we have to hope he snaps out of it somehow. Because section125 and others are right that he seems to have good stuff but is afraid to challenge and go with it. Nibbles til your ready to pull your hair out.
Just wanna say thank goodness Montgomery blossomed last year

Kind of unexpected and he's really helping us bridge the gap. Sevy is a super Ace so that also helps.

Gray really needs to step up and do his part. Throw strikes and attack always
Notable that Boone had Sevy pitch the 7th yesterday

and got up to 112 pitches. The bullpen has settled a bit (turns out there was something wrong with Kahnle) - that weekend rainout in Detroit probably helped a lot.

But Yanks are now 4 games into a stretch of 18 straight game days...bullpen will be taxed again unless a starter not named Severino can figure out how to be consistent.
