Pretty fucking scary waking up on floor in pile of blood and not knowing wtf happen [img src="//storage.proboards.com/6828121/images/udcwFqPimnXDtjoTmoVL.gif" alt=" " class="smile"] Were you drunk or something? Nope!! Haven't drank in a couple years. I went to rehab after my last dwi sand stopped drinking. Unfortunately as most in here know I picked up some other old habits after I stopped the booze But I was completely sober for this... I guess I wasn't paying attention? I really don't know. |

Just got an update on my phone from MLB At-Bat saying that Tyler Austin was sent down to AAA Scranton Scranton might be able to compete in one of the weaker MLB divisions. Drury, Frazier, Wade, Austin. Pretty decent start to a MLB lineup. Third, left field, shortstop, and first are covered. If Toe was still there with Higgy catching, the infield would be pretty good. |

If Toe was still there with Higgy catching, the infield would be pretty good. Good point. Yet they are only 31-34 in the International League. Pitching, pitching, pitching... Drury, at .328/.446/.492 and Frazier at .317/.392/.568 are certainly doing their part. Wade started slow but is finally up to .260/.331/.367 and has been caught stealing 5 times in 11 tries whilst Higashioka has made Sanchez look good at .199/.257/.327...The entire team is only hitting .252 and has an ERA of 4.08...AAA is truly harder than MLB...

Seattle just beat Boston 1-0! Mariners are now 21 games over .500. I guess all they needed was to rid themselves of Robinson Cano...  |

Seattle and Houston are trying to be the Yankees and Red Sox of the west, but they can only be the Mariners and the Astros...

In the last 10 games, the Yankees have scored a total of 32 runs. Luckily, the pitching has been stellar, which is why they are 7-3 over that span.

The starting pitching has been a pleasure this season... Much better than I anticipated. I actually figured German to be good depth and expected his pitching to be BETTER than it has been so far. I've been spoiled with the recent instant success from call ups. Obviously there's growing pains to be expected. Lasigna... While only one start... Against Tampa at that... Has been a pleasant surprise in the minors and majors so far. |

I did not do this research or write this. This is merely something I copied and pasted from the comments on RAB. I thought the info was awesome and written up pretty good so I decided to share it. Once again... This is not me... Just something I read that I thought should be posted over here because it's awesome to know. From RAB comments section...

In today’s game if you want a predictor of pitching performance the ratio of K% - BB% is one of the first places were you should go. Basically pitchers with a good K% - BB% ratio who don’t give up many HRs are almost always amongst the best in the League.
Severino is sixth amongst qualified pitchers in terms of K% - BB% with a 24.3% ratio. He trails Scherzer, Cole, Sale, Verlander and DeGrom. Not much of a surprise there. He is also second in the League in terms of HR per 9 innings pitched (0.45) just behind DeGrom’s 0.41. That’s basically why he is one of the best starters in the League.
Yet there is another stat that is almost as impressive. He is fourth in the League in innings pitched at 99.0 in spite that the Yankees are very disciplined in controling his pitch count (99 pitches per game on average this season). How does Severino do this? He’s made a habit of getting ahead of batters and pitching in the zone. Severino is tied for second in the League in First strike rate % at 69.7%. He also ranks third in terms of % of total pitches thrown in the zone.
Of course in order to be able to throw so many pitches in the zone and still be effective you need to have nasty stuff. That’s were his fastball - slider combo come into play. I guess that for all of us is very intuitive to know that Severino’s fastball is one of the most valuable FBs in the game. It’s the sixth most valuable (as per wFB) to be precise behind Verlander, Scherzer, Cole, Nola and Newcomb. That’s what a 97.7mph pitch with plus spin rate does for you. And still Severino uses his fastball less than 50% of the time (48%) to be very precise.
Yet what I find most eye opening is that Severino has the most valuable breaking pitch in the game, and is not particularly close. Yes, #1 and by almost a 15% margin over the second most valuable breaking ball in the mlb. The batting line against the pitch is 147 / 190 / 220 with a K rate of 40.9% and a walk rate of 4.4%. Nasty. Of course his usage of the slider is high at 38% which makes it one of the premier weapons in baseball.
Frankly it’s impressive how Severino has dominated so far this year. But even more impressive is how his done it: very in your face style going right after batter throwing strike after strike at an incredibly fast pace. Really a pleasure to watch.

Hi Sierchio; thanks for posting the above and inviting me. Thanks for writing it!! Like I said it was well researched. I look forward to reading your posts on RAB and am glad you'll be sharing here as well. I just read the 40 man post and look forward to the discussion. I'm gonna catch a nap as my sleep schedule has been all messed up |
