No disagreement on your first point. But it's not the fastball that's the problem, it's throwing his breaking stuff for strikes.

Or not?

Dave in Hoboken : 4/25/2018 9:21 pm : link

Or maybe he did, haha.

Dave in Hoboken : 4/25/2018 9:22 pm : link

This is a long outing for Green.

Del Shofner : 4/25/2018 9:23 pm : link

Don't know what Boone was thinking having him start this inning - I did not expect that after an excellent 1.1 innings.

Bases loaded 1 out.

Dave in Hoboken : 4/25/2018 9:24 pm : link

So, uh, is he ever going to take Chad out?

I think his pitch count was low through 1 1/3...but Boone pushed him too far here

Hey, someone woke Boone up.

bceagle05 : 4/25/2018 9:25 pm : link

OK - I haven't been a Boone-questioner so far - but

Del Shofner : 4/25/2018 9:26 pm : link

Green pitched an excellent 1.1 innings - that's it for a short reliever, couldn't see bringing him out again. Now we're in a jam.

Come on Shreve

mfsd : 4/25/2018 9:28 pm : link

don�t let this mouthy jerk beat us

This is one of those situations

bigbluehoya : 4/25/2018 9:28 pm : link

Where I�d hoped we�d see Boone be more...progressive, I guess....and use Chapman.

BIG K.

Dave in Hoboken : 4/25/2018 9:28 pm : link

haha - f'in Tyler Austin bails Boone out!

Del Shofner : 4/25/2018 9:30 pm : link

Austin with a great catch to end the inning!!!

Dave in Hoboken : 4/25/2018 9:30 pm : link

Great job by Shreve, too!

What a catch by Austin!!!

mfsd : 4/25/2018 9:30 pm : link

Wow

Great catch Austin

dune69 : 4/25/2018 9:31 pm : link

I take back anything negative I ever said about Shreve.

Shreve comes up big!

adamg : 4/25/2018 9:31 pm : link

And Austin with a great catch. Let's get this W

DRob for this 8th?

mfsd : 4/25/2018 9:32 pm : link

He only threw 7 pitches last night

Austin with a hard hit double.

Dave in Hoboken : 4/25/2018 9:39 pm : link

He's been pretty solid recently.

Austin

dune69 : 4/25/2018 9:40 pm : link

Is playing good baseball in April.

Yup.

Nice scoop by Austin ther at 1st.

Dave in Hoboken : 4/25/2018 9:50 pm : link

Robertson was sharp tonight.

Dave in Hoboken : 4/25/2018 9:52 pm : link

D-Rob being D-Rob -

Del Shofner : 4/25/2018 9:55 pm : link

can't be my favorite Yankee reliever ever given the competition, but he is certainly starting to enter the pantheon.

GLEYBER with another hit.

Dave in Hoboken : 4/25/2018 9:56 pm : link

Watch out. He's comfortable at the plate.

Torres

dune69 : 4/25/2018 9:58 pm : link

will be a great Yankee hitter. Maybe not power hitter, but he'll make things happen in the coming years.

Don�t think Torres is planning to go back down to AAA

mfsd : 4/25/2018 9:58 pm : link

Ever.

Judge gets IBB.

Dave in Hoboken : 4/25/2018 9:59 pm : link

Respect.

Another chance for Stanton to put this away.

bceagle05 : 4/25/2018 10:04 pm : link

Wanted that to get out

dune69 : 4/25/2018 10:10 pm : link

for Tyler

Didn�t get the big finishing blow

mfsd : 4/25/2018 10:12 pm : link

But good job by Stanton getting one run in at least.

Red Sox won

mfsd : 4/25/2018 10:17 pm : link

4-3

That's two 4 game series wins in a row.

Dave in Hoboken : 4/25/2018 10:18 pm : link

Let's get the series win tomorrow!

*Let's get the *sweep* tomorrow.

Dave in Hoboken : 4/25/2018 10:19 pm : link

I'm tired, hehe.

7-2 on the homestand.

bceagle05 : 4/25/2018 10:21 pm : link

I was hoping for 8-2 - with a Marlins sweep factored in - but however they want to do it is fine.

DIDI...WHAT A PLAY!

yatqb : 4/25/2018 10:21 pm : link

Gleyber looking studly.

bceagle05 : 4/25/2018 10:23 pm : link

I'd venture to guess he'll be the engine at the top of the lineup whenever Gardy passes the torch.

Solid win, overcoming Sonny Gray being Sonny Gray

mfsd : 4/25/2018 10:32 pm : link

Rest of the rotation getting it going helps the bullpen handle games like this

Montgomery for the 4 game sweep tomorrow afternoon!

Nice to see Morrison

dune69 : 4/25/2018 10:43 pm : link

improve his batting average to .113 and slugging percentage to.177 tonight. Who's the moron?

I was out - so

section125 : 4/25/2018 10:48 pm : link

Gray was still nibbling and walking until he was pulled? I see Sano tagged him in the 1st.

Not nibbling. That implies control. Gray can't control his breaking stuff.

Crazy.

I�ve been as big a Gray defender as any

Kyle in NY : 4/25/2018 11:13 pm : link

But even I�ve got to wonder wtf is going on with him. Control was never a major issue for him.

Glad to still get a win despite it. This lineup just wears out pitchers. Wish we could play Minnesota more often

No disagreement on your first point. But it's not the fastball that's the problem, it's throwing his breaking stuff for strikes.

I just don't think he's starter material -- unless he's hurt or something. Is he?

Gray was 3rd in Cy Young voting in 2015

mfsd : 4/25/2018 11:41 pm : link

It�s not like the guy couldn�t pitch in the past. Whether physical, or the pressure of NY, or something else, he�s really lost it since he came to NY.

I never watched him pitch much when he was in Oakland, but as far as I know he�s always been a big curveball pitcher...so until he figures out how to throw one more than 55 feet consistently, we can probably expect more of these kind of starts.

In his interview tonight after the game...

manh george : 4/25/2018 11:50 pm : link

Gray just didn't appear to be confident.

Yeah that was painful to listen to.

Gray blows. He just doesn't have any balls. Nibble fucking nibble

Victor in CT : 8:19 am : link

* Was Stanton this bad in RF in MIA? I houhgt last night was a really poor showing by him. Not just the obvious awful misplay in LF. But in the inning before, what a terrible at bat after the Didi bunt base hit. 2 on 2 out, 2 HORRIBLE, fishing expedition swings at terrible pitches. It's not so much the K, but the lack of discipline and situational awareness. Why are you hacking at garbage when you have Sanchez, Austin and Adujar coming up behind you? Take the walk and pass the baton. You're on a winning team now.
* I'd hate to move him, but maybe let Judge play LF and Stanton RF until GS gets more acclimated?? I think Judge could play anywhere.
* I LOVED the Didi bunt!! I wish more teams would do that. I would help keep the defense honest and put a little fun back into the game.

He just might be one of those guys who doesn't work in a big market area on a team with expectations. It's easy to be calm in Oakland. Nobody is watching.
