Game Thread Saturday 5/14/16 Yankees vs. White Sox 1:05PM

wow, Hicks will be playing for another 87 years and locked up thru 2103, Wowee Wow Wow wow... back to the future or past...?

 

...^^^yup, and I gotta love the obviously biased comparison between the two players. J R Murphy has had only 40 ABs in part time duty this year...after the same number of 40 ABs Hicks was hitting around .125 Hicks started off so slowly that his BA (.067) could only go up...in fact it was so bad that on May 5th he went 1 for 3 and it raised his BA 24 points.

...but apparently for some misguided reason Murphy's slow start warranted him being sent down but Hicks' slow start warranted him getting more playing time.

...thankfully, Hicks has hit well for the last week (10 for 29) but when he cools back off, and he will, the pompoms will predictably fall silent again. What's next?...fellating Tex and Headley if/when their average finally goes above .2oo?

 

One got a full time chance & the other one didn't. I still think that given a FULL TIME chance John Ryan Murphy could be a solid ML catcher.
