good to see buchholz pitching well again ... last 2 starts been impressive and 2nite thru 3 inns hes dominating...when he gets his fastball established and then throws that sick change he can be unhittable...prob jinx him now

Here's for hoping for a quality start then let the bullpens battle it out

What's the opposing pitcher have to do with is tRA being a run worst than average?

I just glossaried (it's a word, shut up), tRA on fangraphs, and nothing came up. What is it? i'm assuming RA is runs allowed.

thanks flyingrat. i actually wondered a bit about a stat that would treat line drives as a bit different than popups.

I hate Youkilis more than anyone, but the constant beaning is a little ridiculous.

I'm a huge Youk fan but the guy just looks like a douche. I'd want to bean him too tbh.

weird how the yankees always have their big 3 starters going in series against us while we have our bottom of rotation starters going. Beckett going on Sunday tho. I know Div is gone but a sweep would be nice:

Penny v Pettitte
Tazawa v Burnett
Beckett v CC

Again I can see why people hate Youk. Sort of like Yankee fans loved Oneil and to me he was the biggest Piece of $hit crybaby b$$ch in the history of baseball!!

Who is the third man in the top of the RS rotation, oh right, he doesn't exist (rather, he is yet to be seen).

Good Game by Justin Masterson tonight.

Clay has pitched pretty well last few times out. Hes probably the clear 3 now.

Are you pissed about the Martinez trade or something Is that why the Masterson comment. He did give up 7 runs the outing before if thats the case

3 games is not a season but for the first time in a long time I feel like the team is a legit contender.
