I'm just operating under what the team was doing and that was keeping Britton and they were considering trading Brach.  If he had gone we'd be thinner in the BP with a suspect SP rotation.  If you want to argue trading Britton I wouldn't have been adverse to that if I got the right offer.  

I was in the "trade Britton" crowd too but it's useless to say "I told you so" when it comes to this.  We'll have to see how the MRI goes.

I need a zanex after reading this thread. Calm down folks.

 

Plus he can't be that important, Buck left him on the bench last year with the season on the line. 

Brach looks really good right now, we will be fine. I am much more concerned about the starting pitching.

That was a winnable game. Posters here flock like lemmings for acceptance. Dan, who started the Bundy is going to be bad thread after 2 ST starts even jumped on.

now that's funny

All these tight one run saves forced him to have to throw the curveball. This sucks. 

He does the opposite in the close games.  He always says he doesn't want to get beat on a pitch that isn't his best pitch, and will only fool around with the breaking ball when it isn't that close.  He's thrown two breaking balls all season.  He hadn't thrown a breaking ball in a regular season game until Saturday, and he threw two in that game - the injury must have flared up on one of those.

Indigestion or anxiety?    It's hard to tell which you have.

    • Not for someone who has money riding on him winning the award.
    • Well, now that we’ve established the hitting sucks, is it a good time to complain that this pitching is obviously over performing and will crash and burn any day now?
    • The bullpen has much more depth this year than last year but it just feels like you don’t know who will be the guy each night.  Last year it was get to the 8th and you knew it was Cano and Bautista and lights out.  This year it doesn’t seem to be set roles especially with Kimberly strugggles and out as clasper for now possibly.  I also think Hyde gets a lot of grief about how he handles the bullpen but I think he has been great at looking at the game situation and with who he wants facing what guys.  Cano might come in the 6th one night then close the next, same with Webb or even Coulumbe.  I know a lot of it is analytics but as a group they make a plan and seem to stick with it instead of some managers that have 7 inning guy an 8th inning guy and closer and don’t deviate much.  
    • On the replay you can see that Julio was lightly jogging after the ball-- either assuming the RF would get it, or assuming Hays wouldn't run. Good on Hays for taking advantage and turning it into a double. 
    • I think in general people are more negative in life not just in sports and they need to blame someone or something.  In previous years we had a scapegoat in Peter and John.  Elias didn’t go out and make a trade it was because he didn’t have the money to go get anyone or the owner didn’t want to spend.  Now for the most part people seem to think new ownership will give the ok to spend more so now if we don’t do it it is on Elias, Sig, and Hyde for not getting best out of the players.  We dint make a big trade last year and most people just went with well John is cheap we don’t do what they want now it will fall on Elias more then last year in peoples eyes imo.  
    • Mike Baumann.  An enigma wrapped in a conundrum.  Ride the wave!
    • The Yankees have been extremely healthy on offense as well.  If that somehow happens all year they will be right there with us but if I was a betting man I don’t think Judge, Stanton, Rizzo can stay healthy all year and they have very little depth behind those guys.  Besides Adley we have guys at every other position that can fill in if someone goes down.  There might be a drop some but I don’t think it would be catastrophic like losing Judge or Soto.
