Good thing the Yankees still have the ESPN hype machine remote control. I would hate to see what this would look like without some interference.
Hmmmmm, I wonder if anything interesting is happening on the west coast?
According to Kapler, it was a "miscommunication between the dugout and the bullpen."
The worst part of this situation is his response. Whether he was completely at fault or not, simply stating "I alone own the problem" would have been a better conclusion. This could be an ugly season in Philadelphia.
I do not understand how Eppler knew these things about Maldonado if he was mostly used a backup catcher. Did other teams miss this about Maldonado or ignore it?
Would be even more amazing if Dipoto traded Heredia and made it a regular occurrence.
Don't forget about the Mariner's new center fielder that will anchor the outfield.
I like the protective gear that was provided to the grounds crew for dealing with the sewage. Great thinking in spreading the sewage out in as large an area as possible instead of trying to contain it. The Dodgers will probably just Frebreeze the field and call it good.
Maybe if he started his delivery by simply going to a set position instead of all of the Parkinson-like tremors to be more centered, in the zone, focused, at peace, zenified?
or.....had better movement and location with his pitches.
That is a much different swing than what I saw last night at the game. Here he is balanced. using his lower half while keeping his front side closed through the hitting zone.
