OT: MLB Thread - Part XIX: Yankees Hire Boone. Joe Buck Still Unenthused

[MysticLeviathan]

Sonny Gray is abysmal.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

Cashman has generally done a good job as GM but starting pitching is his achilles heel. Gray is another in a long line of putrid acquisitions.

Chapman and Miller turned out pretty well.

Chapman and Miller turned out pretty well.

I said starting pitching. Pavano and Javier Vazquez say hi.

 

[Machinehead]

Gray was a mistake. Time to start the process of exploring other options.

 

[Cassano]

Usually he's at a 100 pitches by now so this is an improvement.

Gray was a mistake. Time to start the process of exploring other options.

He has nothing. It's difficult to believe that he was a good pitcher.

 

[Machinehead]

He has nothing. It's difficult to believe that he was a good pitcher.

Didn't he have a major injury at one point?

Pavano was a free agent signing.

We traded away Nick Johnson for Javy.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Cashman can't wait until the TDL to get another starter. Severino is the only one in the rotation you can trust to not stink it up on the mound. Everyone else is 50/50 at best. Gray is at 0.

 

[Cassano]

He has nothing. It's difficult to believe that he was a good pitcher.

That's because he stopped throwing his curve for some reason.

They gotta sack the pitching coach if this continues into the ASB. Too much talent to be pitching this poorly.

 

[darko]

He's also been unlucky. BABIP over .400 at the moment.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Hard to be lucky when you're falling behind every batter and then grooving pitches right down broadway. Gray was abysmal tonight.

 

[Machinehead]

I like Austin but he has some shitty habits. Need to work on some opposite field stuff with him.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Andujar!

 

[Machinehead]

Andujar!

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Andujar did something????

This game seems fun, wish I was watching :/

 

[nyr2k2]

How much money is Gray owed? I'd consider him for the Mets. I have no faith in our rotation after Thor and deGrom.

 

[Machinehead]

Ok seriously now on Torreyes: I understand his limitations but he's such an easy kid to root for and he's been very decent so far.

Also he's better than DiMaggio lol!

 

[darko]

Fair few on here were quite content with the rotation in the offseason and going into ST.

Go away Staal was talking all offseason about acquiring another top of the rotation arm. We both wanted Cole.

6,500,000 this year. One more arb year in 2019 before becoming an UFA in 2020.

 

[Machinehead]

Actually he's arb eligible this winter and a UFA in 2020.

If anything, at least the contract isn't bad.

Arbitration eligible for the final time in 2019 then UFA.

Honestly thought we'd get a better Sonny Gray.

He hit a homerun again!

Kid is raking lately

I badly wanted another starter and thought Cole was the best option but it's water under the bridge now.
