Nice work by the As cooling them off, 1 run on 6 hits for the Sox today. Price gave up a 3 run HR in the 8th to break a 1-1 tie

ends the Colorado/Chicago game. Runner ruled safe at the plate, then overturned - didn't think it was clear enough to change.

.

I thought he was out in real time but there was nothing on that replay to overturn that call. MLB replay is a mess.

but I didn't see enough to overturn that one. Tough way to end a game.

Yes but I've heard where the stress accent is both ways

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.

Sounds strange to me too. Never heard the accent on the 2nd syllable, either but my Spanish is non existent.

Fowler lost out on the MLB spot during spring training but he's playing in AAA and doing well.

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.

the expectation to win or NYC pressure or both.

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?

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

crystal clear thanks

In retrospect, sounds like we were in violent agreement.

Take care

Yep. My dislike of Gray must be seeping into my writing :-)

Irabu and Vasquez

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.

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.

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

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.
