Fausto and Ramos were horrible tonight. You can’t just dump 6 guys and replace them with guys from Durham that aren’t ready. The only guy who needs gone off the team is Farsworth. That opens the door to move Fausto to the pen and keep Odorizzi in the rotation when and if Price returns.

We have some serious holes on this team , I’ll give you that. If Moore and Cobb win the next 2 then the sky won’t be falling anymore.

His confidence is completely shot. He has no business taking his next spot in the rotation v. the lowly Marlins at this point.

Although he hasnt necessarily justified a call up based on performance in Durham necessarily, I would rather see Archer build his confidence in the bigs against the weak Marlins bats than those same bats build confidence against a defeated and deflated Hernandez.

The Rays took alot of gambles in the off season as always. When Niemann went down, the need for a replacement veteran starter who could log innings was justified.

Hernandez was a reasonable gamble at the budget AF was afforded. So far it has failed.

They have confidence in thier ability to reclaim pitchers of a certain make up and make them effective. This time it hasnt worked.

We were at that game tonite and it wasn’t pretty live. I buy a bunch of games in the spring in advance. Based on RH horrific lifetime numbers vs current Yanks bats I certainly wouldnt have walked up for this one.

Im pulling the bus over getting out of the driver seat and handing the keys over to Mr. Smith. I will walk home from here.

But hey look on the bright side we managed to wreck the Grandy man’s hand and probably sidelined Phelps for a brief spell as well. It was a pyrrhic victory for the Yanks!

Remember this thread:

I predict Hernandez goes 1-4 in 9 starts with a 4.5+ ERA and gets released.

I predict that your prediction is just ridiculous. A more realistic expectation for his first 9 starts would be 3-3 with a 3.5- 4.0 … no one is saying he’s the next Verlander, but a #5 who can hold court with numbers like that is plenty good enough.

I respect your opinion and admit what you just described could happen, and I would be happy with that. I just think there are too many variables with this guy and that sort of scares me. I agree 1-4 is pessimistic, but I also think 3-3 is optimistic and reality will be something in between.

I suppose the wisest move would be to revisit this in May…”

Well, it’s May and Hernandez is 2-5 with a 5.73 ERA after 9 starts. Let’s hope my other prediction that he gets released also comes true.

Had Press Level seats right behind the plate. Hernandez and Torres were horrible and both were tipping their off speed pitches. In fact, a Yankee fan behind me correctly called almost every offering as they delivered the pitch. Maddon gave up in the third. This team, as presently comprised, is a .500 club any way you cut it. Who else besides me is starting to regret the Shields/Davis trade?
If things don’t improve by the All-Star break, Maddon and his uber-loyal support of mediocre players (Fuld, Hernandez, Molina, Lobaton, Rodriguez, Roberts should be sent packing. There’s no cute in baseball Joe.

Burrell, Matsui, Sonny, Percival, and now Hernandez. I was not happy this guy got signed in the first place, but was willing to see if magic could be had; well, no magic. Pitching needs some shake ups.
