Sunday 6/9 @ Tampa Bay

[spiritof66]

Whenever I see a collision or near-collision at first base, my mind goes immediately to the 2005 play in which BRob, covering first on a bunt, injured his elbow and forearm forearm while reaching for the throw. I usually sit on the 3B (visitors') side or in the outfield at Yankee Stadium, but that night I was on the 1B side, maybe 75 feet from the collision. It was like watching a car accident unfold, in slow motion, as the two parties to the collision -- one far more fragile than the other -- rushed toward each other.

And the Atlanta series is less important than the Yankee series the next week, or even these two series in Toronto and Tampa

He had 4 K’s last start

Well, glad I qualified it. He had 10 the start before. The point was he does have an out pitch and it’s the CH. That’s anecdotal, but from a scouting standpoint when he’s on with the CH (his best pitch in my opinion) he will have higher SO. 
 

Although, today I’m sure Arozarena would tell you the slider is pretty nasty as an out pitch.

Yes, Ced!

[Dunk35]

Cedric did it!!

Well if we had 5 or 6 starting pitchers as good as Grayson, Bradish, and Burnes we would be winning at about a 800 pace.

This is where Mullins can help us...

Gunnar knew he was going and was pissed because he took the strike. 

[Yossarian]

Just getting here so sorry if it's been discussed:

Is Littell even on the rubber when he pitches?

Yes, if he’s right at the plate then he can change the game on the bases.

He does appear to be from the side view, yes.

[Roy Firestone]

still dont move runners well.. 

[Moshagge3]

No third time through the order penalty for Littell

At what point do people start rooting for a hit or a walk so Hyde doesn’t have to make a really hard decision on GRod that he could get wrong.?  GRod’s health is more important than any accolades.

Hyde has shown he's not afraid to pull a guy from a No-Hitter.
