The Clash Rock!!!! The Sex Pistols can’t sing at all. Where is Briton and Henn. Villone is washed up. Bruney is our best RP now.
I don’t mean to shout while we were talking I saw Joe Torre nodding out.

Jake- Can you read my name correctly or is that asking too much of you? Obviously, its asking too much.

Also, assuming I’m obsessed with the Sox bc I asked what their SP would be against the Yankees is pretty stupid of you.

Clippard has a nasty hook, but his fastball is very average. He’s going to need to improve his command if he plans on being a successful ML pitcher. He’s been a strikeout pitcher every step of the way, and like Hughes, he’s very young. I am rather high on the kid, but many believe that he doesn’t have the pure stuff to become a good pitcher at the Major League level.

Man if Clippard comes up our vaunted Triple A rotation will be completely decimated. If I remember before the season, the 5 Scranton starters were to be 1.Phil Franchise, 2.Humberto, 3.Ohlendorf, 4.Clippard, 5.Rasner, DeSalvo or Jackson. Jackson would be the only one still there.

Jeff our AA and AAA staf is stacked if Clip goes up most likely Alan Horne or Jeff Marquez goes up, ofcourse there’s also Ian Kennedy.

Drew, I never said that you said that, what I ment is that by reading your comment, I think other people might think that you ment he was being pulled for ineffectiveness. That’s what I thought until I checked for myself. That’s all I was saying.

I’ve had London Calling in my head for the past hour.

The Scranton Yanks rotation has relocated to the Bronx.

murphydog –

I think you’ve got something there. There do need to be different conditioning programs for older athletes. THAT would be really cutting edge!

And I sure hear you concerning eyesight — I was quite proud of the fact that most of my friends’ eyes were, shall we say, “going,” and mine were perfectly fine. Until the day they weren’t. Seriously, overnight! Cool thing, though, I don’t have to wear bifocals because I wear contact lenses — one for distance and one for close! It’s weird, but it works.

But I digress. Glad to hear Clippard’s getting a shot, and they won’t be messing around with Wang’s rest.

Drew, Clippard was pulled after one game, but not because of ineffectiveness. Which I think is what youâ€™re leading everyone else to beleive.

And just so everyone knows, he pitched 1 inning, no hits, no runs, 1BB, and 3Ks on 24 pitches, 12 of them strikes.”

Don’t know if you meant this for me, but I didn’t say he was pulled for ineffectiveness. I said I thought he was getting promoted, which he is.

If the rumours about Clippard are correct, I’m tickled. How long has it been since we’ve really gotten a good look at our minor league pitchers?

I have a slight issue with the kid making his debut in a nationally televised game against the Mets, however. No pressure or anything…

Anyone know how to pronounce his name? Is it CLIP-erd or clip-ARD? Either way, “The Yankee Clippard” has a nice ring to it, eh?
