Just for Arod, nothing happened earlier. I thought right away it was on purpose the first pitch. He kind of half hearted came inside the next 2 pitches. I figured he was drilling him the next pitch, 3-0 was so obvious. One good thing is there is no way Dempster doesn't get suspended for one start, not that he is a an all-star.

I actually felt bad for Aroid that at bat. AND I can't stand him, so it takes a lot.

My hope is the Yanks are up by a lot and CC plunks Lil Papi, benches clear and suspensions are given out.

Of course both teams are in the race, so it probably won't happen.

A friend of mine said Arod is a narc. He seems to think that Dempster did it for that, who knows? I know Arod denied releasing the other names.

It will really start to be something if other teams start doing it as well, if he starts getting hit every series....

I bet CC hits someone the inning he is coming out. I can't see the Yanks not paying Boston back tonight. I know they play again though.

Thanks again. This "story" is getting more interesting all the time.

He just does not want to go down alone. He keeps trying to muddy the water and deflect the steroid implications from him. He is trying to get every penny of that 85 million that he can.

I hate when Steroid users get their money (maybe less but still), Melky, Colon. HOWEVER, I do hope Aroid gets his money from the Yanks only because that was a stupid contract, and I do not want to the Yanks get out of it.

"I'm not comfortable talking to Alex on this stuff because I feel we're in a litigious environment," Cashman said. "So I am not comfortable anymore talking to him. I think it's pretty self-evident. Like yesterday's stuff, is that helpful to anything, to the process? I don't think it's helpful. Me talking to him about it, it's not going to (help). I don't feel comfortable talking to him.

"… Hello, goodbye, and that's it. Because anything else, I don't want to be distorted, to be quite honest."

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
