RUPERTKBD Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Welke has been absolutely brutal tonight....for both teams. Girardi has a beef, but so does Gibby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 That moment when we were all concerned about Estradas health this year and he's the only one left who's healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, it is hard to imagine how a guy that is 5'8 (I bet that is generous) can have a long career as a pitcher (especially the way that Stro pitches). That's like an average of a full 12 inches shorter than the average height in the Yankees bullpen. He's certainly proved people wrong before, though.

Yeah, the height was a discussion we were having in this thread when the Blackmon rumours surfaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes for sure, but then Shapkins would have had to sign another pitcher. In saying that though, I'd way rather have Blackmon on the team rather than Pearce.

You never know though, after Stro's performance in the WBC, Shatkins might have been able to get a back of the rotation starter thrown in. Maybe a guy like John Gray or German Marquez. The thing about Blackmon is that he checks so many boxes. Hits for average and power, plus he has good speed. He could lead off, or (with KP having a good start) would make an ideal #2. Being a lefty, he could shoot for the hole between 1st and 2nd, whenever Pillar gets on. Plus he's an upgrade defensively over every outfielder not named Pillar...

If he doesn't come in and stop the bleeding after Liriano was pulled, we're probably not talking about Morales' dingers. In fact, the entire bullpen looked great last night and it's a really good sign, considering how many leads they've given up to this point of the season. Now maybe if we can get some guys healthy, we can start to turn this thing around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiznak Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Man, Bautista really looks disinterested with the team. I don't know if he misses the Parrot or if he's mailing it in, but it's really frustrating to see. Likewise with Edwin. They aren't the same person without each other.

gmen81 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Is there any young players in the system that could make an impact in the next year or 2. It sucks seeing other teams have these prospects who come in and succeed right away. Guys like Bellinger, Turner, Margot, Benintendi, Judge, Sanchez etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
