    In his last 44 starts.

    282.2IP
    313 Hits Allowed
    156 Earned Runs
    4.97ERA

    Wonderful as long as you enjoy seeing a guy get battered all over the ballpark.

    Knew the start before yesterday was a tease. Maybe its time to think of him as a lefty specialist out of the pen. Wouldn't be the first guy to make that transition.

    Since YOU mentioned the word "SEASON", here's a little math for ya-
    Would YOU sign up to have a #3 SP who pitches 7 innings and allows 4 runs in every start?

    And have you scored that point for Cashman yet regarding McCarthy?
    See post # 51, you know, the one you conveniently ignored? Lmao

    That was then, before and after knee surgery and lost mph on his fastball, and this is NOW - post 53:
    " two games out of four, where he pitches 7 innings and allows 4 ER, and another game with 8 IP and 2 ER",

    I'll give him the first two months of this year before I consider burying him.
    That's all.

    Damn this is just getting really sad at this point :banghead: Have you considered getting a dog?

    In answer to your question, #1 HELL NO! because as I explained (many times) that would give him an ERA over 5 & sorry but that wouldn't be acceptable.

    And #2 I ignored your post #51 because as with most of your posts it was ridiculous. Yes several of us did want the Yankees to make an attempt to resign McCarthy but NOT for 4 years at $12M per, you see we all knew that would have been stupid. Most of us were looking at 2 years tops! & for a helleva lot less then $12 per.

    Now, say you're DONE again & mean it.

    The only time I will score 1 for Cashman is when he leaves as
    Yankee GM.

    ...sorry, but I have decided that it is fruitless to vainly try to communicate with someone who has the mental capacity of a child.

    Hey Rick, you wanted Cashman to sign him for "only two years"...... guess what?
    THIS IS HIS FIRST YEAR OF HIS CONTRACT and he has a 5.87 ERA and an elbow/arm injury......?


    Now what were you saying? I CAN'T HEAR YOU....lmao...

    How about this- let's take tonight's game, stay in first place (tie) and go 5-2 against the two teams who had the best records at the time in consecutive series?
    Sounds good?

    Go Yanks!

    Question for any other takers on the board....let's try and clean up this crap once and for all....I'm getting bored with these petty semantics.

    I asked a question - if you/whoever had the chance to sign up and agree before the season started to have a #3 starter pitch 7 innings and allow 4 runs in every start, would you accept it?

    I won't even mention if his team happens to be one of the best run scoring teams in the league.....oops, I just mentioned it.
    This is just too much fun.

    I don't know, I asked a simple question....care to answer it?....or do you always try and insult people instead of giving an answer to a simple question?
    Too deep for ya?
    Gladly welcome your answer. (rolling my eyes)

    Never mind, not interested.....I said my piece.

    Were you dropped as a child? In my best John McEnroe rant "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS! This really stupid question was answered already (post #65).

    Do you really need attention this bad? PLEASE stop posting, I'm actually beginning to feel sorry for you.

    No!!!!!!!!!! What is so hard to understand? That's an era over 5 so who the hell would knowingly sign up for that?

    Vic I have brought these numbers to his attention AT LEAST 4-5 times. At this point I don't know if its a real mental block or as we both wondered, he just may be that starved for attention.

    I'm a bit surprised that "question" was received in a rousing negative.
    I know what the ERA translates into if you give up 4 runs per 7 innings but I thought/think having a theoretical #3 (not an "ace") who could "guarantee" 7 innings never allowing more than 4 runs would get the team and//or him it's fair share of wins and also importantly doing a solid job of saving the bullpen over the course of the full season. Not such a bad thing to count on over 162 games ....imo

    And to be fair, of course I do understand having this theoretical #3 starter also eliminates any chances of having him pitch a game where he gives up 3 or zero runs....but, on the other hand he'll probably also have a few stinkers mixed in where he gets knocked around for 5 or 6 runs and is out of the game before 5th or 6th inning....then you have a deeper hole and need more innings from your bullpen.

    Okay, we've had some fun kicking this thing around.
    Let's put it away and kiss and make up, and put it to rest. Lol

    GO YANKS!
