2007 Yankee Game Thread

that ball was hit too far to get Popo.

 

True, but I think the right play would have been to let the RF'er catch the ball.

[jacksonianmarch]

Yankees lead 3-2. NICE!

[jacksonianmarch]

I'm fine with Minky hitting now.

[yankees228]

Nice job by the bottom of the Yankees order to get those two runs in. Now, how to play out the final three innings? Pettitte for the seventh. Rivera for the ninth. As for the seventh, maybe more Pettitte. Also they didn't list Proctor as one of the guys that Joe wanted to stay away from of the pregame.

 

EDIT: With tomorrow being an off day, and the Yankees really wanting this game considering there one reliable starter is pitching, maybe they combine the 8th between Pettitte and Rivera if they still have the lead.

[jacksonianmarch]

Vizcaino all the way baby.

[jacksonianmarch]

Pettitte is untouchable today.

[yankees228]

Vizcaino all the way baby.

 

That's one of the guys that Joe said he didn't want to go to today. He pitched multiple innings in both games of this series. We won't see Vizcaino unless this is another extra inning game. Great job by Pettitte there, clearly at the end of the rope, getting through that inning 1-2-3 while going to three ball counts on all three of the hitters.

 

As for the last two innings. Obviously Mo will pitched the ninth, probably no more. I'm thinking he's go to Proctor for Swisher and Piazza. Chavez is next, and they'll probably go to Myers, especially if they're two outs, but that creates a problem. After Myers came in yesterday and was able to face Chavez and Walker back to back, the A's inserted Crosby in between them. So if the inning does not end with Chavez, I don't know what they'll do...maybe Mo. I don't know what they plan to do with Igawa, it's not like he had a very short outing on Friday.

[yankees228]

OK, do we bunt here? Jeter might be able to beat it out, and even if he doesn't, run one would be so huge.

[yankees228]

Textbook baseball right there.

[jacksonianmarch]

That was very nice to see. Get a few and this becomes easy.

[jacksonianmarch]

ARod is f***ing crushing the ball today. Sac fly caught as Swisher crashes into the wall. 4-2 yankees.

[yankees228]

Great play there to keep them in the game. A-Rod nearly put it out of reach, but still got the run in.

[yankees228]

How weird does Jeter look without number 2?

[yankees228]

I don't know what Joe's planning, but I'd really rather not see Igawa today.

me too.

I see they took the lead while I was making my kids dinner and preparing their bath. When is Posada going to start showing his age? f***er never shows signs of decline, and he's 6 months older than Varitek.

[yankees228]

That's the kind of luck they're going to need to get this ball to Mo.

[yankees228]

No luck needed there.

ORS, Posada ALWAYS starts fast. Then the wear and tear starts to show and he slumps, then he turns it on late.

[jacksonianmarch]

No luck needed there.

 

Kielty didnt have a chance.

[jacksonianmarch]

If we dont burn out Proctor this yr, he should be dynamite. The heat was back and that curve to Piazza just was not fair.

[yankees228]

Kielty didnt have a chance.

 

I think I spoke too soon about the luck part. As for Posada, he's really off to a great start. I don't expect him to keep it up all year, considering his age and position, but if he keeps up this level of play he's certainly going to be extended after this year.

[yankees228]

And another hit for Jorge.

I'd take a hot series from Varitek right now.

[yankees228]

You've got to be kidding me. He is smiling on the bench though.

[jacksonianmarch]

Mo having a bit of trouble with his location right now.

[jacksonianmarch]

NO DOUBLES DEFENSE PLZ!!

[ORS]

How are they not PH'ing for Scutaro?

 

EDIT: That's why. HAHAHAHAH

[Optimist]

How are they not PH'ing for Scutaro?

 

I know...

[jacksonianmarch]

wow, painful loss. Oh well, we did everything we could do. Sometimes Mo blows em, tip your cap and move on.
