chirorob Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Great game by Severino. He is really showing some promise, and the pen really needed a night off. Him and Montgomery the last 2 days have given some good hope for the years ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All ruined by a fluke running the bases and then coming back too fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirorob Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Bats have cooled off a bit. What's nice is Judge isn't hitting 4 home runs a week, but he's still hitting. Now Headley.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severino was one of the best SP minor league prospects for several years and pitched excellent as a rookie -- no way you just relegate him to the pen a starting pitcher is way more valuable Gardner has always had some power. I just hope Girardi rests him with Hicks playing well and Refsnyder can play OF too.

They fell in love with that whole mandate for 7th, 8th and 9th and because it worked with Mariano, they seem to not see the value in actual starters. I remember in '95 that Frank Thomas said that Rivera was one of the best pitchers in baseball, but they were pretty quick to move him to the pen. No complaints, but they've done it with Hughes, Joba, and Betances. Somebody has to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be ashamed for what they did to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That philosophy has worked one time the past 17 years. By the time most starters hit free agency they have lots of mileage on their arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he's pitching now there's no way he opts out. He has 3 yrs at $67 million. Tanaka's a major issue now. They keep on saying he's not hurt, but this is ridiculous. He's giving up over 6 runs a game in less than 5 innings. His starts are like batting practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have depth in the outfield I don't mean it as a knock on his game. Just what you said, he's not 26, he gets dinged a lot. A speed guy with a bad leg loses a lot of value. I really like Gardner, he's just a 5 game a week player, not a 6-7 game a week player, which is fine, cause when he's healthy he's a real good player.

Tanaka wont throw his fastball. Probably because he doesn't want to exacerbate the tear in his elbow. Without his fastball hitters can lay off his other pitches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Tanaka seems fine to me. The HRs are a little nuts but that seems to be a thing in the early going league wide. I love him among the upcoming FAs, really only prefer Otani (if he's available and there's some loophole for the Cubs to exploit somewhere) to him outright. Velocity's up across the board before typical season peaks for pitchers (mid-late summer), slider and splitter getting more whiffs than usual, all his individual pitches are getting more groundballs except the cutter...The big difference seems to be that his cutter is getting hit out out of the park rather than popped up, like in previous seasons, this year.
