Ford should be on. Should be loaded with 1 out. Bad call.
He also didn't miss a 3 run HR by much.
Neris in for the Phillies now.
Just one of the many reasons he's thought of as the worst ump in the game, and disliked so much by players and managers. Terrible at his job, inconsistent, rabbit ears, and thinks he's actually part of the game.
ain't making Yankees fans Happy.
Double-digit ERA 10.29.
Dare I say Hapless.

He'll probably say it's all just happenstance

Not only the strike three bad call but the strike two check swing call as well. It was close and maybe Ford did go, but I hate when HP ump's make the call instead of checking with the baseline ump.
Hernandez is one of those guys who makes those calls himself a lot of times. Paulie has said it many times, there's no way you can be looking at the pitch in order to see if it's a ball or strike and at the same time be able to see if a guy checked his swing or not. A full swing sure that's easy but not a clean check swing.
well he's been handed 3 and 5-0 leads and coughed it up and giving them no length at all. I'm completely done with him. I think this crazy exhibition type season lends itself perfectly to giving the kids a shot.

Yup. Infuriating. Feels like Hernandez has been around forever and has been terrible for just as long.

Happ needs to be on a short leash this season coming off the year he had last year. Somebody said that Paxton should only get one or two more starts if he doesn't improve, no that should be Happ. Paxton had a strong finish last season I recall. Michael King can do what Happ is doing out there, maybe better. He blew his wad, at the trade deadline from Toronto, a couple years ago.
I don't think he is on the 40 man roster.
They would have to make a move, I believe.

Getting Schmidt on the 40 man would be no problem. There is a lot of replaceable parts in the BP
Honestly the walks with Happ are the maddening part. Like I get it, maybe you are less confident in your stuff but you can't be a veteran pitcher and walk batters like that. No reason to not put Clarke Schmidt out there if that's what he's giving you.
Coney says he has three pitches
Is knockin' 'em down.

That curve is nasty
Glad that ball was the height it was. I like Didi too much to imaging what would have happened if it was head high...

Not too bad. But what's his movement pitch?

Slider change guy.
Slider looked good today
Why? He was just getting going.

Pitch count probably? 8 games in 9 days or something like that.
His slider has improved considerably. Green already had one of the best fastballs of any reliever in baseball - but having this new weapon to go to may make him an elite bullpen option.
Kudos to Matt Blake. There's way more drop on the slider now. Green didn't have the same depth on that pitch in past seasons.
Pitiful ABs this game. Nola is good, but how many batters are gonna K on that same ball in the dirt?

Some of them yes but to be fair he's got great movement on his pitches tonight, and late movement at that. Some of those pitches looked hittable to the last second then just dropped off the table.
Coney's mentioned his high spin rate a few times tonight, and his analysis has been really good.

How about taking the pitch? He throws it virtually every 2 strike count. You cannot hit it, so look at it. The result is the same if it happens to be a FB and not the curve. I cannot remember a 2 strike FB tonight from him.

Easier said than done when it looks like it's going to be a strike for so long.
I'll give you a couple of guys like Gary who looks like he has no clue and is swinging at everything but sometimes you just have to tip your cap to the other guy.
Nola was on his A+ game tonight. Not only were his pitches fantastic but for the most part kept the Yanks off balance as well. Hell, they only had two hard hit balls all night off him out of what 90 pitches?
This man is legit. He could start on a lot of teams. He's not depth.
It feels like every single game one of our hitters gets pegged.
Very aggravating.
