Another masterful performance by Price but what I enjoyed most was seeing the Yankee bullpen get blown up. I am hopeful years of leaning on their pen has finally caught up with them. I'll be impressed with Price when he does what he did last night to NY and HSTN. Having "masterful" performances against non payoff teams is expected for a guy making a million dollars per start. And rest assured the Yankees will use their prospect depth to secure one or more arms (my guess is Corbin) to their roster. Lot of expectation for both teams this season. All that is needed is a true brouhaha between these two teams to bring back the Fisk/Munson, Varitek/ARod memories. What more can we ask for or anticipate?

Here’s an fg article discussing some of the issues. The science is accurate but incredibly poorly presented. I really don’t understand why people intelligent enough to be familiar with concepts like “peripheral vascular resistance” and “osmotic pressure” are so dense that they presume using what amounts to jargon in an “explanatory” essay/discussion is useful. Or providing the IUPAC (standard naming protocol) name for the chemical structure. What does that add?!?! I’d swear that section is plagiarized either because the author didn’t get it, or the author does get it but is incredibly obtuse. Regardless, the rest of the article has some good points that don’t require a background in human physiology, and pharmacology, for. www.fangraphs.com/tht/the-science-of-masking-agents/This is a general phenomenon. As a systems analyst, I worked with the scientific community for years. When you're down in the weeds, it's hard to stop slashing at them. Scientists familiar with the details of what is often a very arcane topic, find it very difficult to leave out the cuttings from that effort. The best science writers - and they're often not from the scientific community - know what to leave out while still getting the message across. It's not easy. When I worked at the EPA, the secretarial staff who had to arrange to publish this stuff would quietly feed it off to others they felt had better writing skills for some serious editing. As you can imagine that led to blow-ups where the scientist would have to be verbally sedated after reading the cleaned-up version, which I had to do more than once. Lots of fun. The takeaway is that the ultra-focused skill-set of many scientists isn't tuned to the correct frequency when it comes to clarity. That's what editors are for.[/b] Not if your name is Michael Crichton, Greg Bear or Kim Stanley Robinson....

This has been up for four hours and nobody is talking about Buck Showalter being an overrated hasbeen. Gonna need you all to step up your game here. Buck Showalter is an overrated has been.... and I'm less than sanguine about these matchups.

The Yankees have the best record in baseball.... against LHPitching. Four of the five starters for the Red Sox are LHPitchers. It's not rocket science to project what this team needs.

Do'n't look now, but the Mets have designated the dark Knight. Buy low on a power RHP with a bipolar track record.

How many million dollar starts can this team afford?

Methinks the Phillies make a play for Trout. The Yankees are going to be paying Stanton still in 2020 and judge is going to start being expensive around then. I also think this coming off season will be one they spend huge on. I don't see them being in on trout in 2020 because I think they sign either Harper or Machado this year which will leave them with other big holes to fill than in the lineup. They still need pitching badly. I'm more worried about them going after sale than I am trout in the next few years. The Yankees whiffed on Cole.... they won't on Corbin.

How sure are you about that?? I've been back and forth outside, cleaning a pond and pulling weeds and whenever I come back to check the score... We all get the idea. Methinks the Phillies make a play for Trout.
