Yeah, his record and ERA look alright, but he's giving up more than a hit per inning in 2 milb stops.

We'll see.

Makes sense. And maybe it's time for Walker to go. Maybe place him on waivers and see of there are any takers.

Looks like the Yanks pen is getting back to form check out these numbers for these guys last 10 appearances:

Chad Green
12 1/3 innings. 1 earned run. 9 Hits. 2 Walks. 14 K's.
Betances
11 innings. 1 Earned run. 2 Hits. 5 walks. 18 K's.
Chapman
9 1/3 innings. 1 Earned run. 4 hits. 4 Walks. 14 K's.

If the pen keeps it up they can wait until more teams fall out of it and are looking to move starters.

All good signs above....Chad Green appears to have his late movement back on his fastball, they were squaring up on him pretty well before his latest surge....Betances when on, has scary stuff.....

I think Green and Robinson may have been over used last year and it effected them early on like it did Chapman last year. Betances I can't figure out. The guy is either great or an atrocity.

not seeing much here from the fans of the Orioles. Guess still being in the teens in wins would do that.

The Orioles fans will post here occasionally, but they have a year long thread that they like to post in. I can't think of any Rays fans on this site and the Jays have some fans that may or may not post now that the NHL is over.

one of the absolute best prospects in baseball right now. He was destroying the minors before getting called up (.362/.462/.757 with 14 home runs in 39 games between A/A+/AA... as a 19-year-old). So far he hasn't looked the least bit overmatched (.349/.453/.651, 12/11 BB/K in 75 PA). It's a small sample size but it's pretty noteworthy to see a 19-year-old show such good plate discipline at the major league level, especially when he had a whopping games in AA before getting the call.

Does my left hand count?
