AL East Thread

[Pure Steel]

At this stage, Sonny Gray is going to see not one significant postseason pitch, and Happ very well could

You see his interview after he got his tits ripped the other night? Not the look of confidence that I'm looking for when the game is on the line....He looked like a kid that shit his pants in school and they had to call his mom to come get him....Send him to the Island of Elba where Napoleon was exiled......

Just like Judge should only start at home, Sonny should only pitch on the road.

If there was ever a picture of a guy that is not made for the bright lights of NYC, it should be Sonny Gray

All I know, if I'm a GM, I'm drafting out of just about any SEC school, save one.

Yanks sign Raphael Severino, younger brother to their current ace. Lets hope that arm runs in the family

My bad. He's only 16.

The right-hander’s fastball has been clocked at 97 mph and the pitch usually hovers in the low to mid-90s. There is some concern about a drop in velocity at times, but evaluators attribute the decrease to normal fatigue or being overworked on the showcase circuit. A strike-thrower, Rodriguez has a good mound presence and demeanor. He changes his arm slot and throws several different pitches at different angles, which has proven to be both a blessing and a curse as far as scouts are concerned.

Evaluators love his “big arm,” but the club that signs him might ask the teenager to refine his approach and focus on only three pitches. He has an unorthodox — sometimes described as a ‘violent” — delivery, but it has not impacted his pitchability.

 

[molsaniceman]

Does he last a week?

Tyler Thornburg (shoulder) will be activated from the disabled list Tuesday or Wednesday.

Thornburg had thoracic outlet surgery last June and is finally done with the lengthy rehab process. He posted an underwhelming 4.96 ERA and 15/8 K/BB ratio over 16 1/3 innings on his rehab assignment, so the Red Sox figure to break him in with low-leverage situations initially.

 

[cerealboi]

Not to worry. Porcello hits better than JBJ.


At least the Sox won't have to go through back to back shut outs.

Word.

Scherzer lucky he avoided the Yankees if that fraud is getting destroyed with the bat by Rick Porcello

NL piss

Yall gonna claim that Judge home run? That's the shortest homer I've ever seen. STP is a bandbox too, and that's a routine popup there.

Yeah, he was just awful when he won the AL Cy Young.

Gayest stadium ever.

Why are you so hard on Fenway?

If a routine popup can go for a homer, your stadium is a joke. I mean, Camargo's homer isn't a homer in many places, but at least it's at least a double in every park.
