Serious question, why couldn't we leave Paxton in the minors until he started pitching like himself? As soon as he's healthy we gotta bring him up, even though he's pitching like crap?[/quote]
Come on man
27 outs in a game.[/quote]
Come on nothing, since he came up, he's been horrible. So I seen the HR in the 1st, and said to myself: "and here we go again." To his credit he settled down and gave up 2runs in 6. Hopefully this is the start of him getting back to his normal self.
It just gets frustrating watching crapping pitching. Yeah, I know good teams have down periods also, but for the good teams it doesn't last to long, maybe a week, then back to their winning ways.
We'll split with chi after losing the first 2, now lets roll TB and take 3 of 4 vs. TB, get alittle seperation.[/quote]
Wrong
Since he came back from the DL his first start he went 4 innings because of pitch count and struck out 7 giving up 0 runs. That would have been that Minor League start you wanted so bad. After that start he had a 2.81 ERA. 2 point goddamn 81. The last 2 starts weren't good and it crept above 4. It's back below 4 now at 3.93. He is going to have to pitch on a wonky leg all year. It is what it is.
The team is 16 games above 500 I mean my god. Sometimes I'm embarrassed to be a Yankees fan.[/quote]
Thought i posted a reply but I guess not.
He was good in his return vs sd.
He struggled @ Toronto, he couldn't go 5 full got smacked vs. the Mets. So yeah he wasn't so good, sorry.
Hey management only accepts gold standard, so oh well, be embarrassed of management too.[/quote]
Yeah and how many times have the Yankees won the WS recently? So its no wonder Management hasn't hired and fired 7 managers in that time. I doubt they are unhappy with Paxton trade to date. Since you know it's June.
All Yankee starters have era's in the 3-4 range. And we know the bullpen is among the best. They doubled down on bats hoping to score 5-6 runs a game to offset that 3-4. We know they will trade for a pitcher too. I just don't understand first inning solo HR post. It's beyond premature.[/quote]
From page 32 of this thread.
Lets look at what the starters did in 10 of those 11 because Green started and pitched 2.1 innings so wont count that.
56.2 IP, 63H, 38ERs, and 13HRs
Look at it this way 54IP is 6 complete games. This is about 6runs per game the starters are giving up."
Maybe it's called frustration with the starting pitching.
