AL East Smack talk 2014

[rokketmn]

I was shocked when I heard Nova has a serious injury, but it's better it happened now and not during a playoff series. This way hopefully he'll be ready to go by April of next year.

Nuno or Phelps is their best bet going forward.

Even if Nova were ready next April, he will not be throwing more than 150 innings in his first season back from TJ. More likely 100-120 innings as he will be back in May/June.

Not good news if you are a Yankees fan. With Sabathia on the decline; Kuroda also not pitching well from the second half last year and on; and Pineda on a likely innings limit of 150-160 (if he makes it); the Yankees pitching will be in shambles by July.

They will overwork Tanaka when he starts, to save their bullpen because it will be overused. Same old Yankees.

For the record...I think Pineda is the next starter to go down. He didn't look comfortable to me on the mound in the game against the Sox.

Better dip into the farm system. Oh wait...nobody there.

In shambles by July? Now that was funny!

Your post sounds a lot more like wishful thinking than reality.

Enjoy watching Tanaka this evening. I hope a Yankees fan sits atop the Green Monster and displays a K for every swing and miss.

9-3 win for the Yanks! Tanaka is shaping up to be the ace of the staff and Ellsbury is raking! .342 average third best in the AL.

And what a bomb by Ortiz in the 4th. over 480 feet I heard..

Ive never liked the red sox. The Yanks are my 2nd favorite team in mlb, and the Yanks will be going to the playoffs in September, not the sox.

I'm an embarrassed Yankees fan this evening and stunned Joe would tolerate this horseshit.

Red Sox pitching is trash

Long way to go BK. And with the Pinida suspension our staff could be hurting. With Monday as an off day Joe can make it thru the first 5 days, but next weekend when we have to pitch Nuno then Phelps it is gonna be ugly.

Red Sox pitching is trash

As bad as a couple of their starters have been, their offense and defense is the reason they are under .500...

The only bright sopt this season is their pitching... Thier bullpen has only given up 23 ER in 77 innings (including last night's 6). Good for a 2.42 ERA (6th overall & 3rd in AL).

The Yankees are lucky to get two series against them during this funk....
