Whining is not a sign of courage or leadership. This whole event is just another sign that MLB has been in the tank from Joe Torre through Bob Watson to this very day. Witness the much longer punishment doled out to Joe Kelly than the little punk kid Austin earlier this year. Often, MLB shortens...

Who said there's no crying in baseball? Yankees complained enough to get start time changed The Red Sox have had tough scheduling issues in the past, but Major League Baseball has not bailed them out too often. But Tuesday, the league accommodated the Yankees, who objected to their game...

So if what you've said in this thread is true, all 300+ home runs that Bartolo has allowed in his career are no doubters? Real pitchers don't back up 3b or home? Don't tell that to anyone who has ever coached baseball. That's exactly what you've said while on drugs this morning.

This is, of course, absolute bullshit. Are you suggesting that Bartolo Colon never backs up third or home...as a real pitcher should when there are men on base, because he doesn't watch balls that might go out of the park? Looks like the Sox have yet another front line pitcher. Steven Wright...

First Round (No. 23 Overall): Anthony Seigler, C, Cartersville (Ga.) HS Seigler has garnered some national attention as a switch-pitcher, but his future is behind the plate. Plus athleticism and smooth actions leave little doubt he'll remain in the crouch long-term, but his offensive...

First Round (No. 26 Overall): Triston Casas, 1B, American Heritage (Fla.) School A smooth left-handed stroke and 55-grade power make Casas the top first base prospect in this class. Despite his limited defensive profile, he is a solid athlete, as he has played primarily third base as a high...

If you read the comments in that article, he is also leading the league in strikes that are called balls, and apparently far more of them. Low balls called strikes, high strikes called balls. Maybe that's why he walk so much.

Congratulations to Aaron Judge. Eight strikeouts in one day is a new major league record, breaking the old one of seven, set by Shea Hillenbrand in 2005.

Well, perhaps the team that signed wife-beater Aroldis Chapman will take him in the third round. They don't seem much concerned about that stuff.

If you mean Giuliani, yes he was there to hear every last boo.

Yankee fans didn't have a whole lot to cheer about today, but they sure found one moment to make a lot of noise. When the PA announcer wished Rudy Giuliani a Happy Birthday, he was roundly booed by the some 40,000 in attendance. :)

I would agree with you, but considering just how thoroughly the Yankee bullpen sucks, who would you send out? Tommy Kahnle and his 7.88 ERA? AJ Cole and his 7.11? Domingo German and his 5.59? Chasen Shreve and his 4.82? Does David 4.76 Robertson even have options? Dellin Betances and his...

1. The dispensing of Hanley Ramirez was the work of one man: Alex Cora. Given the season the Sox are having and the immediate result of the change, Cora is the early odds on choice for Manager of the Year. Mitch Moreland, freed of the platoon, has a double, triple and home run in the last two...

Actually, there is a major roster addition today. The Red Sox have a potential HOFer in the lineup today. For the first time this year, Alex Cora gets to write the name "Pedroia" into the lineup. He's an addition on offense, a huge addition on defense, and perhaps the best sparkplug in the game...

Sometime, Beav, you should try taking a look at the baseball world without the pinstriped colored glasses. Greg Bird had a monster 1/3 of the season call up back in 2015. After missing a year, he then led the world in Spring Training 2017 and proceeded to hit like a nun in another 1/3 of a...

A couple of takeaways from last night: 1. Welcome back, Greg Bird. Young Bird has a career OPS of .793. Tyler Austin has an OPS of .832. Please explain how Bird makes the Yankees a better team. Common sense suggests that putting Bird in the lineup is at best a lateral move. 2. Top of the...

Fortunately, they don't have to live with the Ellsbury, Pavano, Whitson, or Burnett decisions. They cannot trade him. If they do, they will have to eat his contract and if he reaches 497 plate appearances, his contract will vest and they will eat his $22M option as well. If they simply...

In light of the bullpen having two good games, my post is nonsense? Wowza, Beav, what have you been smoking? The Yankees have been winning because of their offense, Severino and Sabathia. Robertson already has four blown saves and three wins. He owes the hitters some lobster dinners. Oh, and...

Let me teach you a few things, Beav. 1. A third of a season is not a small sample size. 2. There is no position on the baseball diamond that has a shorter life expectancy than relief pitchers, who are, by and large, failed starters. Chad Green, Adam Warren, Dellin Betances, Joe Kelly, Matt...

You don't get ERAs like that in one game, Beav. It takes sucking donkey balls on a regular basis. And here's your best bullpen in the world: Shreve: 4.15 Robertson: 4.91 Betances: 4.71 After Green and Chapman, there isn't one guy you can trust. Yeah, the Rangers are fabulous. The...
