From my understanding of the data the impetus for pulling pitchers early is not (usually) due to pitcher fatigue or pitcher injury risk, but rather because they're not as good the 3rd/4th time thru the lineup. But I think I'd rather have our starters go from good to mediocre the 3rd time thru the lineup, versus trusting the crappy members of our bullpen with the ball. Granted Akin had a bad game today and he had been pretty good, but we also tried to have Cionel get thru 2 innings and he gives up a leadoff triple. -
Yeah, I'd like to see Hyde push the starters a bit more too. But if we see it, I think it'll be a pretty gradual ramp as the season goes on. Seems like 90 pitches is the new 100, and unless the standings situation gets dire they're going to keep managing like the most important bullets are the ones saved for October. -
Holmes had a blown save and the Angels beat the Yankees, maybe he's available. -
Hyde needs to adjust his bullpen usage IMO. We don't have the shutdown options we had last year and he's managing like we do. We have good starters, push them a little bit and try to squeeze extra innings out of them while getting someone warm if they run into trouble. Grayson could have gone an extra inning and maybe we wouldn't have given up 4 in the last few innings to put the game out of reach. I understand that there will be occasions where you invite criticism that you're leaving your starters out to dry, but most of our bullpen options have been really unreliable and I think if you stick to the guns that got you there knowing what our bullpen is like you just live with it if it doesn't work out. It's not like we're pushing our starters to 120 pitches.

Yankees lose one to the last place Angels thanks to a Rizzo error, Holmes blown save, and offense that failed to get another baserunner after taking a lead in the 5th inning. I think I've heard around here that real championship contenders don't do these sort of things, so hopefully this knocks them out of the running.

First thing is first, the Negro Leagues had a lot of great talent and it’s a crime they never got to play in the MLB. That’s a given. Second, the math doesn’t math here in regard to Gibson, unless I am missing something: Baseball reference has his career lasting for 14 total seasons spanning from 1930-1946. There’s no ‘31 or ‘32 seasons for him and no ‘41 season. His listed career stats are the .373 batting average, .718 SLG, 166 homers, 135 doubles How do they come up with a .718 SLG on 166 homers and 135 doubles across 14 seasons? -

I fear we are perennially going to want just a little bit more from Grayson—and then it will all click for a few years in his 30’s for some other team.
