Game Thread Yankees vs. Pink Hatters Thursday 5/30/19, 7:05 pm

you are more than entitled to your opinion, i think you are being extremely harsh.
You dont care what other teams do but you make it sound like the Yankees are the only team in baseball that hasnt produced quality starters. Drafting baseball players is a total crap shoot to begin with. The fact that they had pitchers suffer career altering or ending injuries. Its not like the Yanks have had top end draft picks to begin with either.

Cole was a Yankee draft pick.

Joba should have been a top end pitcher that got his head screwed around by the stupid joba rules and midges... no one questioned Phil Hughes pick and Ian Kennedy is still in the majors...

No Fighting Please.

Tonight's Game has been Cancelled will be made up on August 3rd at 7:00 pm.

What a crock of shit, I was looking forward to a double header this weekend. At least the Rays are playing a competitive Twins Team this evening instead of a horse shit team. Maybe the Yanks can pick up another half game.

again i would go back and say to you, how many teams draft, develop and keep their starters?

The Yankees have had numerous pitchers go down with major injuries. Could they do better drafting, sure, but you make it sound like they are the only team where I just showed you the top three teams have maybe 1 starter that they developed.

Sevy was becoming that guy.
Home grown pitching is very rare. I pretty sure if you go back to each world series winner you are not going to find those teams with home grown pitching.

One could argue this one all day and week; maybe all year; based on the criterias of drafting; developing and keeping SP's as well as RP's....

In my eyes the Bums have lead the pack; until Y2K....
one cannot count Pitchers acquired through trades; or Pitchers prior to Free Agency.

Here's a list of decent (some great) Pitchers who were drafted and for the most part stuck around; less say Pedro Martinez; who didn't catch Lasorda's blind eyes after 3 yrs in the Org.

In fact when comparing the last 10 yrs with the prior 20 yrs; one can't even begin to compare the lack of drafting; developing and keeping Pitchers with aformentioned decades...

Pedro and Ramon Martinez

The Greatest Closer we will ever see.
Mo's saves record will never remotely broken....

 

[Mattingly23NY]

There is one relief record list, however, that Rivera has avoided. Since 1913, there have been 110 times when a pitcher has blown at least three consecutive saves. Many of the greats certainly have done it. Rivera has not....
