Great recovery by Green. I really like his resilience.

Green K's Diaz but he won't last more than one inning tonight it doesn't seem I wouldn’t want to see him out there in the second at this point... |

But Green has shown some serious grit this year, coming back from his horrendous start, getting it together in the minors, and returning with a vengeance. I find myself really pulling for him. |

Judge can't do anything with Morton's curve

He’s been amazing since his return. I’ll certainly take tonight’s results with a grain of salt... |

He reminds me of the young David Cone. |

Zunino has 100’career HR with a .205 career BA. I wonder if that’s the lowest batting average ever for a guy that has hit 100 or more HR?...

Charlie Morton is one of the latest bloomers you will ever see. Through his age 32 season, he had a record of 46-71 and never had an ERA+ as high as 110. In his last three years his record is 40-12 and his ERA+ has been above 110 each year.

In his last three years his record is 40-12 and his ERA+ has been above 110 each year. I think out of all positions in all sports the pitching position in baseball has more unusual characters and performance of all others combined. There have been young guys that flamed out early, so many one year wonders. Old rookies (like Wilhelm) who started late but had long careers, the Jamie Moyer / Charlie Morton type that pitched mediocre ball and then found a way to get folks out late in their career. Pitchers have posted both horrific and terrific batting slash lines, improbable no hitters by pitchers who seldom won games. We’ve had a pitcher that talked to the ball, pitchers with careers split between starting and relieving, and even one who decided to move to the outfield and set a homer in record that more than quintupled the previous MLB record. Oh. There’s more. Guys that came back from surgery to be better than they were before surgery, guys that openly broke the rules. So much more. That’s about it off the top of my head... but there’s surely more... |
