you shouldn't be able to challenge tags on the bases. It killed base-stealing and if ump-error is part of the game, why force us to swallow it where they make the most mistakes?
I just got to the hotel and checked BBI before checking on the game and from the thread, it makes it seem like Happ shit the bed and left the game down several runs.

But it is actually 4-2 and the Yanks are winning!
I'm partly responsible. I didn't think Happ would last 5 the way it was going early on, but he hung in there. Still took him like 87 pitches to get through 5 though.
Deivi Garcia struck out 15 in 6 innings, and gave up 1 hit and 1 walk.

Gave up 7 hits - 6 thru 3. Some real cheappies and 5 of those on 2 strike counts. He wasn't particularly sharp, but good enough.
Like I said if it was CC, we'd all be happy.

CC isn't signed for two years at 17mm. This guy is the pits.

First time, let this go by. This time: no, we wouldn't all be happy if CC'd been pitching as badly as Happ was.

Bullshit. If CC put that up this game we'd all be happy. It is about as good as you are getting from CC.
You can curse all you want, but CC still throws with authority and where hitters don't get to it. Happ doesn't. Seven hits in four? No, no one would be happy -- except with the score. Not with the pitcher.

He moved the goal posts from this game to the whole season. Obviously, if CC was pitching to a 4.5 ERA and only going 5 innings that'd be a problem. Of course, CC's value is that despite going only 5, his ERA is under 4. Happ is a different kind of pitcher. He offers more length. So, it's an apples and oranges comparison in some ways.

CC never gets above 88/89. Throws with authority? He lives on the corners, throws junk up and down, in and out. He barely gets out of 5 innings and sometimes makes it into the 6th.
What Happ threw tonight was CC numbers.
better than what he has been. He has gotten better. But should be a lot better. Big drop off from Tanaka and Paxton to where Happ has been.
It goes back to what FMiC said - reading the thread it sounds like he got torched when he had about three hard hit balls and over half his hits were dribblers and off the label. He gave up no walks.
Maybin within the next week. No way they'll get rid of Gardner who is a lifer and starting to hit. He is still the better OF than Maybin. But damn it is close.

Gardner retires a Yankee. He has speed, defense and he hits left. That plays more important off the bench than Maybin.
3) Some very good players are starting back ( Didi, Hicks, Stanton, Judge).
4) Some hard working guys who want to be Yankees are playing big to be Yankees
5) The key is to analyze which is more like a 4th or 5th pitcher? The choices are our 4th or 5th pitcher?
Jumped on the thread late after enjoying most of this one, and this brought a laugh, well played sir.
Nice to see EE with his first bomb...and he could barely contain his smile at his first Yankee HR...and realizing what he can do hitting it to RF in this park.
If only the Yanks could get rid of Stanton and his ludicrous contract
Just keeping throwing sliders more and more off the plate...
But it is actually 4-2 and the Yanks are winning!

Kindly stop. You are getting to be tortuous...

As he saves the HR streak again.

Yankees wont because of what Gardner is being paid but Maybin is a better player currently
Meanwhile, Minnesota pushes one across in the 8th...
Win! Twins!

I misread your post (missed the 'd=had). Still though, CC is maxing out at 90 pitches some nights. It's not a great comparison.

I mean about CC.
2nd deck bomb.
1) we are beating the second place team
2) Boston is losing
3) Some very good players are starting back ( Didi, Hicks, Stanton, Judge).
