Forum: Player Performance Threads

Just wanted the honor to start this thread. One of the all-time greats!!

Didn't see one yet, and he starts today. Hopefully he pitches well in his walk year.

14 runs on 18 hits tonight, including 5 HRs. Not too shabby.

We'll see if he plays tonight.

He is the definition of No.2 pitcher. His stuff may not be the best in the league. But he knows how to pitch.

Extension?

So far this season he's 3-0 with a 2.79 ERA. He's struck out 26 batters while only issuing 4 walks. His WHIP is 0.83 & he has 9 holds. Kudos to mr.roy for pointing out that he didn't have a thread of his own yet.

Finally got his call-up, and got into a game for the first time tonight... lots of hard hit balls and long outs, but can't argue with 3 scoreless with a body like that, who needs to throw 95?

I didn't see a thread for him on here. He's had a great day today. It would be nice if he could get familiar with that porch at YS.

His fastball had some great movement last night... Got it up to 83 MPH and really tied up that hitter. :P

CC needs to be in full sexual chocolate mode this season.

As Thumper's mother once said in Bambi, "If you haven't got anything nice to say about someone,....." Is there anything redeeming about Shawn Kelley, other than he is filling a roster spot in an injury plagued bullpen?

If he plays today he will be the 30th player since 1916 to make his MLB debut on his birthday. I found players who had at least 1 batter faced or 1 plate appearance, so if a player made his MLB debut in the field without having either of those he isn't included. He would be the first Yankee since 1916 to make his MLB debut on his birthday. Robert Manuel was the last player to make his MLB debut on his birthday which he did on July 9, 2009 with Cincinnati.

Pitched five solid innings today for 3 hits, 1 walk and 3 strikeouts. Deserved his shutout and was looking confident. Hopefully he can turn some more similar performances before the end of ST.

https://twitter.com/DanBarbarisi says Brignac will come and Alberto Gonzalez has been designated for assignment. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/brignre01.shtml has Brignac's statistics.

glad he's getting this opportunity, some seem to be down on him. what's the rationale?

Vintage, dealing all night. Cervelli's play at the plate was huge.

He pushed all the right buttons last night!!

3-3 today against the Orioles in ST. Seems to me that Gardner is getting a lot of attention from the media for some reason. Is it the move to CF? Is it also because Granderson is out? Either way, dude is hella funny/honest.

His first MLB pitch was a ball. Edit: Michael Saunders flied out to center so he got his first opposing batter out.

I don't see such a thread in this forum, so I will start it. It's only three plus games so far, but if we keep getting anything close to what Vernon has given us to date (4 for 12, 2 HR, 4 RBI), I will be extremely happy.
