I agree with Romeo. Smyly sucks.

We’re really going out on a limb aren’t we?

He proves us right almost everytime he pitches. Pretty bad when you have a pitcher that can't make it to the 4th inning, and you have no chance of winning a game with.

Miller isn't any better.

THanks. It's a Smyly day.

I hope your right. You never know what surprise we may get out of this team.

Well I did say “go out on a limb.”

What I didn’t say is that limb was a sapling.

A reminder of the terrible mauling Lucchesi took from Lenny Randle in ST 1977.

During Spring training 1977,[2] first round draft choice Bump Wills (son of Maury Wills) earned the starting second base job.

On March 28, the Rangers were in Florida for an exhibition game with the Minnesota Twins. An hour before the first pitch, Randle walked up to Rangers manager Frank Lucchesi during batting practice and said he wanted to talk to him. Words were exchanged, and Randle punched Lucchesi, who was still in street clothes, in the face three times. It was reported that Frank Lucchesi took a left, right, and another left to the face before the altercation was stopped by bystanders.[3]

Lucchesi was hospitalized for a week, needing plastic surgery to repair his fractured cheekbone which Randle had broken in three places. He also received bruises to his kidney and back. The Rangers suspended Randle for 30 days without pay and fined him $10,000.[4] On April 26, before the suspension was complete, Texas traded him to the New York Mets for cash and a player to be named later who was to be Rick Auerbach.[5]

Randle was charged with assault, and would plead no contest to battery charges in a Florida court, getting slapped with a $1,050 fine. The Texas Rangers fired Lucchesi on June 21.[6]Lucchesi blamed Randle for the firing, and sued him for $200,000.[7]

Wow did not know that was the reason the Mets got him.

What is it going to take to DFA this guy.

Maybe send him to the pen to see how he can work one inning and then if good work him up to two.

Impressive.

What you may have missed is Fairbanks struck out the side his first inning and in his second inning one ground out, error throw next play by Cabrera. Then he produced a ground ball double play. If he keeps this up he may be a keeper. Nice 89-88mph slider.
