I just want them to finish under .500. Their fans need to be humbled.

Hernandez walked 6 batters in 5 innings.

It took him 106 pitches just to get through 5 innings.

He had a very bad strikes-to-balls ratio: ) 106 (60 Strikes, 46 Balls.)

And in spite of all of this, he left the game with a 3-1 lead, and was in line for the W.

Watching the game now on MLBN. Cheering for the Ms over Yinks, of course.

Felix has certainly not been himself thus far, particularly with the walks.

Regarding this Yankee team, though, I honestly do not see what prognosticators saw other than last season's ending standings that made them favor this Yankee squad over the O's. The Orioles, in my humble opinion, clearly underachieved last year and added some very key pieces at problem spots from last season. Everyone harped on the pitching, but between the jettisoning of Norris and expected regression (back to the mean, so positive) of guys like Tillman, I thought this was a bit overblown. Further, their rotation is about equivalent to ours. tl;dr, I don't see what gets anyone excited about this Yankee roster besides the bullpen.

Pretty much every major news source is either in Atlanta, LA or New York. That and it's the Yankees, the team who never loses at everything

I mean, I get that part of it. But when you just look at the rosters side by side, it's sort of crazy how often in ST I heard people say that they thought the Yanks would be the class of the division, etc. One thing that is interesting is that both the advanced stats community and the traditional media buried this team in the preseason (albeit for very different reasons). Obviously the season is young and they may end up being right, but the names on this team, their production thus far and their recent history of success would suggest that it wasn't so wise to predict complete disaster.

It's the same reason everyone picks the red wings in hockey, experience and his good the players were

Joe Girardi says He Would Ban Shift if He were M.L.B. Commissioner

(By Mark Feinsand)

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/yankees-manager-joe-girardi-ban-shift-commissioner-article-1.2615626

Surprised nobody has replied to this. He's laughably wrong here, there's a good article on SI talking about this, apparently the Yankees allow the highest babip for the times they shift and also shift I think 5th most in the league.

I read that as either they shift on the wrong people or for some reason their pitchers pitch away to pull hitters. I remember som O's pitchers doing that a few years back, driving me crazy.

    • Their 55 relief innings are a MLB low ytd as all the starters have done well.    I think they probably want to ride those horses as much as they can as one of my takeaways from the first series was how slow all the relievers throw. Witt's a good MVP rabbit for Gunnar to chase, and he might bring up the question if a Club can still get a Prospect Promotion incentive bonus pick if the player is technically out of pre-Arb by virtue of having signed a LTC. Here are the ERA starting numbers of the lowest-tier of AL SP in strikeout rate: 6-4-8-6-8-1-10-4-7-7-6-7.    Marsh and Lugo have two of the low numbers there. Maikel Garcia has gone ice cold, a bit surprising as he looked All World against us.    They are just now getting perhaps intended starting 2B Michael Massey back from a spring injury (Adam Frazier all singles so far on the season). Burnes-Ragans rematch should have our guy's dander up...we pulled it out against the bullpen but he was outpitched by a lot that night.    Doesn't matter now but it looks like Ragans has never thrown more than about 2200 pitches in a season, in case they end up needing him for more than 26.5 regular season weeks.
    • Well, he didn't know he was going to have a short stint when he was pitching.
    • Not trying to throw hate on Bobby Witt Jr because I think he’s an elite talent. When does his baserunning become a detriment to the team? Last year he was thrown out 15 out of 64 attempts and this year 3 out of 7 attempt's. I was always under the impression you wanted to be in low 80 percent steal percentage. I heard a guess this week talk about him saying well he went what 30-50 last year. I thought to myself Gunnar could probably go 30-40 this year if he got thrown out 30 percent of the time.
    • Still hate the Royals.  But they're tough.  We were fortunate to take 2 out of 3 in our home.  Game 3 we were down 3-0 going into the bottom of the 8th and dropped 2 in the 8th and 2 in the 9th.  I would be very happy with taking 2 and ecstatic with a sweep.  Please nothing less!
    • The Orioles should just walk "OLd Man" Perez every time they can. For some reason he seems to own us the last few years. The Royals pitching has been amazing this year so far but something has to break. They are not going to pitch to a 2.79 ERA all year. The Orioles offense has been fairly hot overall so either the Royals are going to cool the bats, or the Orioles are going to bring the Royals pitching back to earth.  Burnes vs Ragans on Saturday should be a heck of a pitching duel. Of course that means the game will end 9-8. 
    • Great recap and story. Thanks for sharing. I was only 6 and 7 years old back then so knew of these guys, but didn't remember anything about them when they played for the Oriole.   Holtzman had a nice career and in the end, he got several pieces that helped us when an AL pennant in 1979 and our only World Series championship in the last 50 years in 1983. 
    • If we're going to use n=1 samples, I see your Chris Davis and raise you a Roy Thomas.
