1 BB for Betances. OH YEA!
If he’s not traded for the allstar break I think he’ll be headed to Scranton once theres an opening.
Still made two outs. Unacceptable.
effing reply fail
Jesus Montero had a multi-hit game? Impossible.
far more likely than Nick Swisher at a fraction of the cost!
Meh. 92 pitches in 5 innings isnt, strong. Its decent. One bb is nice but nearly 20 an inning and a poor strike to ball ratio means the kids still struggling with command.
Nothing to worry about but not ready for a bump till that’s ironed out
My reading of this site has taught me to be skeptical of those numbers because you never know what the coaching staff or development team is thinking. They might have wanted him to work on his offspeed stuff that drove up the pitch count, but spotting his fastball for the K’s.
All in all, I have no idea, but I’ll just take the K/BB ratio as my indicator.
Betances’ last 2 starts are great.
He’s shaping up nicely for a July trade.
No Dominican Summer League wrap-ups?
Romine seems to be having a solid under-the-radar year so far (hopefully he’ll stay strong in the second half and prove last year was just fatigue).
Has there been any word on Romine’s defense? Any improvement?
N.B.: That’s a 10-game hitting streak for Jesus Montero, dating back to May 20. Longest was a 14-game streak that started at the end of last season.
True, but several of the games in that streak were 1 for 4 or 5′s with multiple strikeouts.
Hitting streaks don’t tell the whole story. He hasn’t been all that good these last 10 games.
Hitting streaks are terrible, Montero sucks because he’s only hitting .306 in AAA, get rid of him.
Exactly what I said.
That .306 average is lower than it was 10 games ago, by the way.
Hitting streaks are just a clever distraction from the truth of total offensive suckitude. If he was a real prospect like Hosmer he’d have 20 homers, slug .600+ and an OBP of .500 right now.
Hosmer did none of that but okay sure. People didnt want himc alled up because they were scared his his high BABIP and sucky ISO.
But continue.
Obvious troll is apparently not obvious enough.
Jesus Christ what have you’ve done with my meter?
Yay, Montero is on a 10 game hitting streak with a .268/.318/.390 line!
He sucks, send him and Brackman back to AA once and for all. Call up Romine.
obviously the hitting streak does not tell all, but it shows that he’s finding a way to get a hit each day…
This could be a sign that he’s adjusting to certain things and getting some consistency going.
It doesn’t mean he’s been great but it can be an indicator of him starting to find a groove…
*click the link if you like baseball games*
But, it could also just be a sign that over the course of a ton of games, a player who hits .270 or .300 or .330 will have a 10 game hitting streak every so often. Going 1-4 does not seem like a sign of success or adjustments to me, it seems like its a guy who has talent but is not playing up to his potential yet.
Banelous is a LHP.
This man is a genius.
Why isn’t Kramer Sneed starting down in Low-A?? The kid has been dynamite so far
I was just watching Man v. Food, one of my favorite shows, and this came on.

Adam goes to Charleston and eats a “Riverdog”. I wish they showed more clips of him stretching with the junior Yankees.
Watching Man vs. Food always makes me hungry. I’m gonna go have a snack.
