You want boring baseball? Come see the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees. The Yankees as a successful organization preach plate discipline throughout their system. Last night some poor defense led to a five-run third inning from the Richmond Braves, and the Braves added two more in the fourth. With the game effectively out of reach at this point, you hope to see the teams play to the end in a crisp manner. To say these teams limped to the finish line is an understatement. To give you an idea of the fashion of the game, the Yankees batted 42 times and just eight of them swung at the first pitch. When it is in the neighborhood of 35-40 degrees out, you have little patience for wasted time.

 

Phil Hughes tonight.

How'd Will Startup look?

Startup has one of the weirdest deliveries you'll see. He does a sort of ninja kick while making his wind-up, and I think the ball is very difficult to pick up for lefties. At 21 he's young enough to make an impact, almost certainly as a middle reliever.

Awesome. I've been interested in him since I heard him interviewed after he was drafted. Plus he's got a cool name!
