The Yankee Thread

[Beckett95]

if you take away Grudzalaniek, Costa and Graff they have no one else batting over .250.

 

their rotation is horrendous

 

Elarton--1-5, 4.76

R. Hernandez--1-4, 7.44

D. Bautista--0-2, 4.55

Affeldt--2-5, 7.80

Redman--0-4, 6.88

The Yankees had 15 hits yesterday in 8 innings; today they have 8 in 1+ innings.

hahahah yeah i just came online to see how many hits they had already. that's pretty impressive/pathetic, depending on how you look at it.

The Royals will own when Zack Grienke comes back! You just wait!

 

 

[Optimist]

What happened to him?

[Beckett95]

Royals have the worst team ERA in baseball at 6.50

 

second worse is the orioles with 5.60

[Youk Of The Nation]

He left for personal reasons. His manager noticed he was 'distracted' during spring training, asked him if he had problems, and he said yes.

 

Something to do with the stress of pitching in the Major Leagues...when hes ready, hell come back.

 

Let me find the article.

That's not surprising. He's one of the few (if not only) bright spots for this organization, I can't imagine what kind of pressure is being put on him to pitch well.

[Beckett95]

i thought he left because he didn't really enjoy playing baseball anymore or something like that.

[Youk Of The Nation]

No, he wouldnt specify his anxiety problems...but he did say it wore on him that he was playing for a team that was out of it before the ASB.

"It's to the point where it caused problems with my girlfriend because she knows baseball is more important than her. I say, 'Hey, I'm sorry. I love the game that much. You're not even close to being No. 1 -- that's how much I love baseball. I couldn't live without it.' "

 

haha great quote from that article

[a700hitter]

There goes the shutout.

[monstah27]

watch the royals trade all of their prospects for big name players and have this rebirth and play the sox in the alcs.

[monstah27]

and then we beat them

[Youk Of The Nation]

That was Damon's 6th homerun...he had 10 all of last season.

 

We all know what that means...

 

 

STERRRROIIIIIIDS!

 

heh.

:lol:

[a700hitter]

5 1/3 inning and 3 runs by Wright -- Another quality start by a Yankee starter?

 

But seriously why the hook by Torre? Had Wright thrown a lot of pitches?

[Beckett95]

ya he threw 95 pitches

[Youk Of The Nation]

KC has nine hits to the Yankees ten...if they score at the pace they are now, theyll tie it in the ninth!

[NomahsHammSammich]

haha great quote from that article

 

Let's go Royals..CLAP>>CLAP>>CLAP>>CLAP>>CLAP!:thumbsup:

[Youk Of The Nation]

lol @ Royals having more hits.

[Beckett95]

6-4 in the 7th, the royals have runners on 1st and second with 2 outs and farnsworths coming into pitch against Emil Brown

[Beckett95]

YES!!!, LETS GO ROYALS!!!!

 

6-5

 

tony g up with 2 men on

[NomahsHammSammich]

6-5..LMF@O at the CHOKEES! LOLOL. Cmon Graffanino!

[Beckett95]

damnit he lined out to Melky

 

cmon get em in the 8th

[a700hitter]

The Yankees have used 4 pitchers already, and they may need to go to Mo for a two inning save to put away the fearsome Royals.

[Beckett95]

1-2-3 inning in the bottom of the 7th

 

now the royals need to do something in the top of the 8th

[rbreg7]

Wow, if the Yankees lose this game I would not want to be living in New York when the Boss explodes.

[Optimist]

I really think they should just start fining Farnsworth everytime he hangs a slider.

 

It is a crime to throw a pitch like that when your fastball can hit 98.
