when we return from the road trip with a losing record, we should really shut down Matz and Noah, so as not to do any further damage, and all it a season.

Is Terry Collins trying to sabotage the team or is he really just this bad? He ran us out of another game today.

He's really taking out Syndergaard for Familia here? At 98 pitches facing the 8-9-1 in the order? Just what we need - FAmilia to come in and start walking the ballpark.

Fam got the save.
I agree with you though. Bad decision. Even when the decision works, TC finds a way to make really dumb decisions almost every game.

What's most impressive is that his defense has been just as good as his offense. He's just nuts right now.

I didn't realize he has the pop he does. I heard he was a great defensive catcher, I didn't realize he also had great offense. I saw him throw out that one guy like a week ago, right on the line and beat the runner by a lot. He has an absolute cannon, just a wicked arm behind the plate.

Actually, he's always been known for his offensive ability. He's also always had a great arm but he's really improved as a receiver and blocker in the last couple seasons. He's battled some immaturity issues in his earlier years but has seemed to really matured and taken his overall game to the next level.
It's awesome to see. He's doing what Jesus Montero never could.
Actually its the opposite. His bat has always been good. When they signed him at 16 they werent sure his defense would catch up to his bat. They thought they would have to transition him to another position.
He has been something special.
And just like that the Yankees bullpen gives it right back.
Why Girardi??? Why bring in Swarzak who has given up 9 homeruns in 27 appearances before coming in.
Pineda was at 83 pitches. It was his game to lose at this point. Swarzak has been awful.
Now theyre gona have to hope for some more magic from Sanchez/Castro.

1 of 3 keeps them alive with their .320 winning percentage schedule down the stretch. The Cardinals have yet to prove they can keep anything going this year. Every time they go on a run they follow it up with a bad stretch. I think at this point the Cards/Mets are the only legit threats for Wildcard 2. I don't expect Pitt/Mia to hang around much longer.

His defense has improved so much that he's actually average defensively.
The bat was always there.

It was the other way around. Bat and power were there but there were questions whether he was good enough to stick behind the plate. Those were legit concerns too. Kudos to the kid on busting his ass and improving.

For whatever these things are worth, he was actually rated the best defensive catcher in the International League this season by Baseball America. And I can see why since he's been called up. He's no liability back there and has a cannon for an arm. Combine that with his offense....just stay healthy and hungry Sanchez(hungry to improve, not the Jesus Montero eat yourself out of a career hungry).

Oh nice, didn't know he was rated tops in IL.
Lol @ Montero. Whata waste of talent.

darko answered my question in another thread, but I figured I might as well post it here as well. What does everyone think of Syndergaard's chances to win the Cy Young?
In December, I predicted that Thor would win the Cy Young this season. http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showpost.php?p=110933185&postcount=532
If you really consider the NL Cy Young contenders, he's right there for the Cy Young with Fernandez and Bumgarner. Kershaw could be right there as well, but he might not get many votes because of how much time he's missed. With a good September from Noah, even if its just a consolation prize for likely not making the playoffs, we could have a pitcher who won the Cy Young in his age 23/24 season.
I figure this is a pretty good case for the Cy Young.
