Daniel Bard is one of the most overrated prospects in baseball.
I don’t care. He’s a relief prospect. He’s not on the same level as the better SP prospects.

His best case scenario, IMO, is a Andrew Bailey type
Elite reliever. Nothing against Bailey, but in that scenario, Bard = C+ level SP prospect in terms of value.

He took a horrible angle on that ball and then let it go off his glove.

He didn't catch that -- it came off the wall
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
It was actually good baserunning, IMO, anyway
He needs to go to score if it’s off the wall and if it’s not it’s two out and the #9 hitter up. Good time to gamble and it did not look like Bay would catch it — nor did it look like Bay DID catch it.

These extra days rest are doing wonders for him and his velocity
They should give Cahill a few extra days as his velocity has been down. Even though he’s a sinkerball pitcher he seems a little off of late
Especially since they're both on track
to pitch too many innings for the year if they stay on regular schedules.

Yeah, I started thinking that in Cahill's last start
His velocity has really been down. There’s a little extra risk with Cahill because his mechanics are inconsistent, and he could end up strong but wild with an extra day of rest. But the team needs to control his IP anyway. In fact, it might not be a bad idea just to skip his turn in the rotation once so he can get a real rest.

Quick SB story I heard about the Yankee-Jays game today
Evidently, Jeter got himself thrown out trying to steal 3rd with no one out in the 1st (Yankees ended up losing by 1 — awwww!!). He argued the call, as did Girardi, who got tossed. Both of them claimed that the ump told Jeter, “The throw beat you.” Which isn’t really the point, is it?
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
That tends to be the trend in the majors.
Whether it’s a middle infielder turning a double play and not stepping on a base, or a catcher tagging a guy at home. If the ball beats the runner the call is always out unless the ball is dropped.
What about Barry?
"Barry who?" Forst said, and I felt like I was in the middle of a knock-knock joke.
The "in the vicinity" rule for DPs at least exists to prevent injuries
If you let baserunners barrel into 2Bs, it’s okay to let 2Bs get the out without standing there like a bowling pin.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
I saw the play, and I wasn't as convinced as the ppl on ESPN that he missed the tag. It was VERY close, but its not like the tag missed by ten feet.
Although that explanation by the Ump is pretty weak, if the ump saw a missed tag he should have called him safe.

If you just understood baseball better all your other questions your, your... the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies they would all, in their way be answered by the baseball gods.
Yeah, both Jeter and Girardi were whining about it after the game
Honestly, guys, you’re the f**king Yankees. So you didn’t get one call. Shut up and deal with it.

It’s your fault, Derek.

That’s real optimistic there Ken. The A’s will try to ruin your optimism by pitching Eveland tomorrow. THUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All they have to do is sweep the divisional games against the Rangers and LAAAAAs...
What about Barry?

My highpoint of last year was Duchschererer's one hit outing against the Red Sox
this is my highlight of this year so far.
So much the sweeter it’s against the Red Sox
The 2nd game against the Angels sticks out to me, but then again I had hope for the team back then so...
Tonight is a great one. and Brett is back out there!
