Wait a second' date=' did the Yankees bat out of order, or am I just really confused.[/quote']

 

No, I am confused, my bad. Minky then the top.

OK, but I though earlier in the game Melky got the infield single and then Minky flyed out to right. Wasn't it Minky that grounded into that double play or was it Melky?

 

EDIT: It must have been Melky, nevermind.

[jacksonianmarch]

Minky a hit???

[yankees228]

Well that's a bonus, now the top of the order and it's a runner on instead of one out (which I certainly expected).

[jacksonianmarch]

do we bunt here?

[jacksonianmarch]

I guess not. I cannot blame them. I dont like giving up outs to a guy who is mowing people down.

[jacksonianmarch]

Bad AB right there.

[yankees228]

He's really off to a slow start in every aspect. His numbers, at least offensively, should eventually even out.

[jacksonianmarch]

Jeter's numbers are fine. He's hitting right around .300.

[jacksonianmarch]

Should have bunted. ARod up in a big spot.

[yankees228]

I guess not. I cannot blame them. I dont like giving up outs to a guy who is mowing people down.

 

I wouldn't have minded a bunt there for two reasons. Jeter could always beat it out, and they wouldn't have been able to pitch around Abreu with A-Rod on deck.

 

Dammit, hit it hard, and of course it doesn't bounce far enough away for Minky to score.

[yankees228]

Jeter's numbers are fine. He's hitting right around .300.

 

I know, but we both know that he's not really driving the ball at this point.

he will. As I say about Manny I say about Derek. You can count on .300+ AVG every yr.

[jacksonianmarch]

Please cut Mientkiewicz. That was awful.

[ORS]

Got a nice kick off the backstop.

[yankees228]

Bad break there, ball took a fortunate bounce for Kendall. Ugh, if you're going to try to score in that situation you have to be sure to you're going to make it with A-Rod on deck.

[yankees228]

Got a nice kick off the backstop.

 

Yeah, and you have to give Kendall credit for handling it cleanly with his barehand.

 

EDIT: I'm thinking that's the best chance they're going to get.

[yankees228]

That had to have nipped the outside corner, and it's location was not much different from the 3-1 pitch.

 

EDIT: That's what I meant by going on first move.

[yankees228]

Wow, this would really be ashame for the A's.

 

EDIT: He's staying in, no idea what was wrong.

[jacksonianmarch]

Harden is injured again.

[jacksonianmarch]

Got a nice kick off the backstop.

 

I agree. Just frustrated and dont like Minky anyway. Minky requires you to have a smart manager to know when he should be in and when he should be PH for. We dont. So Minky is a drain on us.

[yankees228]

Harden is injured again.

 

I would never wish injury on a player, and I hope he doesn't miss any time, but it's nice to see him out of this game.

[yankees228]

Giambi took a different soft throwing lefty out of the ballpark last night....

 

EDIT: That works.

[jacksonianmarch]

POSADA!!!!

[yankees228]

POSADA!!!!

 

Great AB.

[jacksonianmarch]

IF WE LEAVE MINKY IN TO FACE KENNEDY I WILL BE VERY UPSET!

[jacksonianmarch]

Tie game!

[yankees228]

Wonder what Swisher was doing there, should have let the RF'er catch it so he can step into the throw.

[yankees228]

IF WE LEAVE MINKY IN TO FACE KENNEDY I WILL BE VERY UPSET!

 

Phelps? They would intentionally walk him to get to Minky.

[jacksonianmarch]

that ball was hit too far to get Popo.
