trutrojan8 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I got hit in the back of the head from the throwdown from the catcher when I was stealing 2nd earlier this summer, I was in a daze for the rest of the day. The helmet was too lose, and if it didn't hit me the shit would've been in right field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Joe Nathan is pitching against the Phillies right now. He looks awful. Tiny sample size, but he is all over the place. There is no radar gun with this broadcast unfortunately, but his fastball does not look as overpowering as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomarFachix Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'd like to say, as a Yankees fan, that I am completely head over heels for Marcus Thames... The dude brought every ounce that he had to every single at-bat, was a great clubhouse personality, and seemed a genuinely good guy. Never griped over playing time, never caused commotion... came out when he was called upon, gave all that he had, and did his job. I'm legitimately furious that he was attacked like that. I hope he has a great season for LA and spits in that guy's face every time he shows up for a postgame comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yeah. Craig Calcaterra of Hardball Talk ripped into Simers pretty good as well. He's just a hack. He has been doing this for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish7718 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Funny Cashman is going to attack the Mets for using a Lefty Specialist the way they are used, yet where was he when Scott Proctor pitched 100+ innings out the bullpen in 1 year?

Teletopez Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Funny Cashman is going to attack the Mets for using a Lefty Specialist the way they are used, yet where was he when Scott Proctor pitched 100+ innings out the bullpen in 1 year?According to the newspapers' accounts, Torre's displeasure with management goes beyond the widely reported 2007 meeting in which Cashman met with the Steinbrenners to discuss Torre's future as manager, a talk in which the GM was said to have remained neutral as the drawbacks to extending Torre's tenure were discussed. In a later confrontation with Torre, Cashman confirmed he was quiet when the subject of offering Torre his desired two-year deal instead of one came up, the book says.Link Edited April 5, 2011 by Waldo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 CC pitched brilliantly tonight but Soriano just walked in a run on a pitch that could've been called either way. Time for Robertson to come in and clean this mess up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teletopez Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Are you saying the reason they didn't bring Torre back was because of how he used his relievers?..... I'm not saying straight up that the Yankees didn't bring him back because of bullpen management. You were asking where Cashman was in relation to Torre's managing of the bullpen, and the quote I posted is clear indication that Cashman didn't defend him when his job was on the line. A key contributor to that may have been poor relief management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
