So, he is done. Right? He could not throw before hand.

I wonder if he's even ready for the start of next year. That's a shame. I like Nate.

[waroriole]

So we'll see him over the weekend. Cool.

I want us to light his ass up more than anyone we've faced all year. He's on the verge of getting whooped by us and everyone knows it.

Scoreless 10th for Johnson though he did walk 2 batters.

Jim Johnson requests another outing in AAA before being recalled:

Cool.

I like that.

He can put his ego aside, and think in terms of the bigger picture, and what he feels that he needs to succeed as he had earlier in his career.

What a shame. That could be the end for Nate. I guess it's a good thing we didn't re-sign him.

Very true.

Hey CoC, do you still think McLouth's trip to the DL was suspect?

2014 WHIP: .0581

That has to be some kind of major league record, right?

[Nigel Tufnel]

Johnny VanderMeer had a higher WHIP in his back-to-back no hitters, so, yeah, that would probably be a record.

I have a hockey record. I took my skate off and tried to stab someone. I'm the only guy who ever did that b

Very true.

I think that the move at the time was worthy of being questioned.

I am now convinced he was hurt.

You and I both know phantom injuries are part of sports.

i agree, it was worth questioning.

Actually, i wish it was more phantom, hence he wouldn't have to go through surgery/

Edgmer Escalona has been on a roll since joining the Yankees AAA team, pitching to a 1.00 ERA while allowing only 3 walks in 27 IP. The only downside so far is 6.3 K rate, which is down nearly 2 K for his career. Slightly surprised he hasn't been summoned to the Yankees' bullpen so far this August.
