Drama in Yankee Stadium. Kenley Jansen in to protect a 1 run lead, gets the first two outs. A bloop single. A line drive single by Gleyber Torres that almost takes Jansen's head off and

It’s crazy how Chapman all of a sudden has his fastball back. He wasn’t close to throwing this hard last year.

Def drastically different from the last few years.

Tony I agree with you about Adley’s approach there but I think the difference of opinion is, Aristotelian’s comment was not some sort of man-up taunt. It was just a way to say, that was a tough ball to block, and your responses were at a way higher temperature. 

I agree on all. ;)

Grayson missed 28 bats tonight. That’s an insane number.

I can't wait to look at the pitch repertoire used. Knowing Grayson, how he did it matters because it is AAA after all. AAA hitters can be over powered much easier than MLB hitters. If he was able to do it with significant usage and good command of his slider and change-up for the outing, then that would be a very encouraging sign.

That really is an insane amount of Whif. I'll need to go back and see how he was doing it.

He also had a wild pitch and gave up a few runs. That seems to be the issue with Grayson, it’s not about how good your good is, it’s about how good your bad is

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By StottyByNature · Posted

      A question precedes #2: when will the left field wall be fixed?  I think I remember Elias saying they probably went too far, which is quite literally true.  No reason they can't fix it quickly.  I had no problem with them moving it back but it is pretty absurd where it is.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Warehouse · Posted

      On #3, I would guess that Elias is very wary about going longer than 3 years for a starting pitcher (maybe four years if pitcher is younger and AAV is favorable).  I think Mike and Sig believe the history of long-term SP deals isn’t favorable and the wrong deal could derail a mid-market team with dead money.  I’m not sure they are wrong (e.g., Patrick Corbin, Strasberg).   I don’t think ownership cares directly; I would guess they just give Elias an annual baseball ops budget and forecast and he can choose how he manages against that.   Not in play Gerrit Cole Corbin Burnes Max Fried Blake Snell Jack Flaherty    Possible free agent targets Yusei Kikuchi Nathan Eovaldi Nick Pivetta Sean Manaea Luis Severino Alex Cobb Max Scherzer Justin Verlander Jose Quintana Frankie Montas Spencer Turnbull Andrew Heaney Matthew Boyd   Possible trade targets Garret Crotchet Sandy Alcantera Jesus Luzardo Eduardo Cabrera Reid Detmers Emerson Hancock Jordan Montgomery Lance McCullers Jr.

      Is Webb anything special.  I would rather replace Webb with Norfolk shuttle guy.

      Our SS is Gunnar, our CF in this scenario would be Cowser, and C is Adley. Hopefully none of those guys are in contention for being the team's worst hitter next season. We don't need a power bat in LF - we need to add a good contact bat, that can use all fields and run.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      Kemp was part of it but bringing back 2 UTIL IF is blocking your best prospect when your manager covets veteranosity. If they aren’t resigned then Holliday gets a longer leash.

      LF is a bit of a waste of a spot for #9 hitter.  Its not a premium defensive position so you shoudl be able to get a decent bat who can also play there.  If you're worst hitter isn't an SS, C or CF, either you're contending for a WS , or something isn't quite right.  And this team isn't quite WS contenders just yet.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      A lot could change between now and then, but right now he's the 4th starter. I like Povich more than most around here and think he can be a solid 4th starter. He may have been command days, but he doesn't get hit hard.  The cool new Baseball Savant chart shows his fastball and curve and have above average movement and is why his slightly below average velocity (.9 MPH below MLB avg for LHP) plays up a bit.
