2007 Yankee Game Thread

[jacksonianmarch]

and I think this depth stops the overtaxing come next week. This DHer screws things up by forcing us to throw Igawa, Rasner, and DeSalvo mixed in with Wang over a 4 day stretch. After that, the rotation will be Pettitte, Mussina, Igawa, Wang, and either Rasner or Desalvo. 3 out of 5 slots will give 6IP a start, one will be a wild card and the 5th slot will likely be goot for 5IP a night regardless of how good (Torre has no faith in either) or how bad (he knows now that its best to burn a start for the sake of the pen) they perform. Talk to me in June, when the pen gets their legs back under them.

 

BTW, I think I saw that the yankees will set a record with 10 different SP's in their first 30 games. That wont last forever.

Sure it won't. Eventually it will be 11.

we wont have 10 in another 30 game stretch again is what I meant.

[CrespoBlows]

I thought everyone hated Sosa? :dunno:

Ichiro just beat Igawa to 1B, and Igawa was hustling.

[a700hitter]

Igawa just gave up his 3rd home run to tie the game, and then he threw at Ichiro's head and flipped him on the next pitch.

[a700hitter]

Igawa is at 70 pitches in the 4th. Here comes the pen again, early.

[riverside sluggers]

Igawa has given up 8 HRs in his first 6 games

Iguana just needs to get consistent because he's durhty.[/jacko]

[a700hitter]

Yankees are in a slugfest. They lead 8-6 after 4 innings.

[a700hitter]

Jeter has no range at all anymore. Another ball goes through their IF.

[ORS]

Iguana goes 4+ leaving Pvt. Pyle two baserunners with no outs.

[a700hitter]

After 2 consecutive hits to start the Seattle 5th, Igawa has been removed. The pen will get a lot more work tonight.

[a700hitter]

Bean walks the first batter on 4 pitches to load the bases with no outs.

[a700hitter]

8 straight balls and he forces in a run.

[a700hitter]

Base hit by Johjima and a double by Betancourt and Seattle takes a 10-8 lead. Igawa gave up 8 runs in 4 innings.

[a700hitter]

Vizcaino comes in for more destruction. 12-8 Mariners. I love the Randy Johnson for Vizcaino trade! BTW there is still no one out.

[a700hitter]

Bases loaded again.

[ORS]

Vidro singles, batted around without making an out. Six have scored and sacks are loaded. Kill the pen tonight, and don't they have a minor leaguer on tap for tomorrow? Matt "Giving Up" DeSalvo?

 

EDIT: Oops, didn't see Beltre fly-out.

[ORS]

Gameday has it middle-middle, Granny?

 

EDIT: Nope, just a single, 14-8.

[a700hitter]

Seattle just kicked the extra point and are ahead 14-8.

[a700hitter]

Kudos to Cashman on the fleecing of Arizona in the Randy Johnson trade!

[Optimist]

Vizciano could be effective if Joe Torre hadn't set a record and taken only a month to murder his arm. Anyways, I'd rather have his arm in the bullpen and the young guys we got than 43 year old Randy Johnson (6.15 ERA, .300+ opposing batting average from both sides...in the National League.)

 

And I hope we have a few more games like this; might lead to someone 'slightly' more important than a conditioning coach to be shown the door.

Randy Johnson is still rounding into form, and he has looked progressively better with each start. He'll probably finish with an ERA under 4. With the backing of the Yankee offense, he would have won 15+ games. Yesterday's 11 Runs would have been enough for him last night. I am glad he's gone. Vizcaino will not replace the 15 wins that you sent away. The prospects they got for him are little more than a bag of balls. I don't expect that any of them will ever make an impact with the Yankees.

Jeter starts a new streak.

[a700hitter]

I really like how the fans in RF call out the players names at the start of the Yankee games. I guess fans of a last place team need to do something to amuse themselves.

Hey, they're in 2nd place.

 

Weaver's looked...dare I say....decent?

[a700hitter]

Giambi runs like a slug.

[ORS]

Nice pitch to Hollywood.

[TheKilo]

Siddown, Hollywood.
