MLB Daily Thread: 05-11-16: Yanks win and Mets lose. All is right in baseball

[bksballer89]

The Yankees offense is alive and well.

Mets lose on a walkoff by Klay Thompson little brother

In other baseball news from last night:

• The Braves drop to 1-16 at home after losing to the Phillies 3-2
• Rangers scored 7 in the 8th to defeat the White Sox 13-11

Did you punch a wall?

 

[The Q]

I love this Red Sox offense.

Cannot wait to get Eddy Rod back to stabilize this rotation.

If not for Lorenzo Cain, the Yanks win a laugher. Medlin not so tough w/out his PEDS, is he?

How long can the Royals last with Medlin and Young stinking up their rotation every 5 days?

At this rate, maybe June 3rd

They better hurry up. Don't want to fall too far behind Chicago. Already 7 games out. I can't see that lead shrinking if those 2 are out there every 5 days

I'm surprised at how bad Medlen's been. He was a monster for the Braves before TJ.

Sportsline already has dropped their playoff chances to 14%. That can change with an 8-game win streak, but as you said, they need some decent pitching:

Medlen has lasted just two innings in each of his past two starts and has seen his ERA climb from 4.87 to a not-so-lucky 7.77. He has lasted fewer than four innings in three of his six starts this year and has just one quality start. Medlen has simply had nothing working in 2016 thus far, and with Tuesday's disaster, he has now issued more walks (20) than he has strikeouts (18), making it hard to see any sort of light at the end of this tunnel.

That ain't gonna cut it

Royals starting pitching concerns are for real

No way this team can pull off the magic act again with Kris Medlen and Chris Young

And Ian Kennedy is not going to pitch out of his skull all season

Dillon Gee is starting for them on Sunday for Jeters Sake

 

[The Q]

I never liked the Kennedy move. Mostly cause it cost a pick and the opt-out is highly unlikely for him since the deal is backloaded.

Get ready to commence the win streak!

I thought that was a massive overpay

But have to say, he has been worth every dime so far
