2007 Yankee Game Thread

Booooo Yankees.

[jacksonianmarch]

Booooo Big headed friend

 

Hooray Beer!

Yanks win and break .500. Moose throws 7.2IP strong. ARod hitting well, Matsui showing power, Bruney has his velocity back. 8 in a row and counting. Keep on rollin.

[yankees228]

the only worry is that Moose typically struggles in his next start after throwing more than 7 innings.

 

I believe that his next start is in Colorado so that might have the setup for a poor outing, but we'll see.

 

As for the game, not too much went wrong tonight. Moose was solid. The offense showed some power tonight. Bruney looked pretty good, and Torre probably had a quick hook with him. The Yanks are over .500 for the first time since they were 8-7 and in the middle of getting swept in Boston.

[jacksonianmarch]

Yankees leading again, but still squandered a big opportunity. 2-1

[yankees228]

Whether he settles down or not, I think we're going to be seeing the D-Backs middle relief quite soon.

 

EDIT: Ugh...Jeter swinging at a first pitch curveball that was well below the knees really hurt this inning in my opinion.

[yankees228]

In my opinion Phelps does not do enough offensively to make up for his poor defense. He butchered a rather simple play right there.

[jacksonianmarch]

well. Pettitte deflects a hit to Cano with his pitching hand. Got out of the inning, but that is a worry nonetheless.

We'll find out soon enough I guess. I'll always remember when Clemens did that on opening day in 2002 against the Orioles and then he completely lost effectiveness. Obviously that wasn't the worst thing that could have happened, but that instance is what always comes to mind when a pitcher sticks out his barehand for no reason.

[jacksonianmarch]

ARod is a man on fire. 3-1, 0 outs, ARod on 3rd.

[yankees228]

lol at Scott Hairston. That Rodriguez guy is really good. They gave him an RBI, so that's 68. Ugh...another poor AB for Posada from the right side, although I can't really get mad at him.

[jacksonianmarch]

Posada with 2 awful ABs today. LIFT THE DAMN BALL!!!

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

haha Eric Byrnes

[jacksonianmarch]

Atta by Matsui. 4-1. Yankees rolling again.

[yankees228]

Man, Cano does not hit during the day. Could be just a coincidence though.

How's Pettitte's stuff today? I'm following online at work but it seems like he's battling..

[jacksonianmarch]

Pettitte has it all working. His cutter has these kids flailing.

I missed the top of the first. He seemed to struggle in the second, but he's been relatively sharp in the third and fourth innings. To me, Pettitte never seems to have great stuff, but he never seems to give up a lot either.

[26 Reasons to Hate Us]

Of course as soon as I post the question he Ks two guys in a 1-2-3 inning..

 

..How's ARod look?

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Pettitte is a guy who isnt afraid to come inside. Which keeps the hitters honest and he has impeccable control with his 4 seamer. He'll sit outside and low then come up with the cutter and throw the curve or changeup to change the pace.

Yeah, I agree. What I was kind of trying to say is that he's not going to go out there and "wow" you, but he almost always gets the job done.

[26 Reasons to Hate Us]

85 pitches for Davis already. Looks like we will feast on some MR today.

[yankees228]

Considering he has to go through the heart of the order next inning, he might be done after five, or six at the most.

[26 Reasons to Hate Us]

Andy's really settling in, should be able to go 7+ if he keeps it up. 63 pitches through 5.

He'll be right around 100 if he makes it through this inning..

[yankees228]

Got a break there.

[26 Reasons to Hate Us]

In other news, Milwaukee up on Detroit 4-0 in the 5th and the Cubs all over Seattle in the first 3-0.

Unfortunately, if they're competing for the wild card against a team from the central, it will probably be Cleveland and not Detroit.

[26 Reasons to Hate Us]

Probably, but Cleveland isn't playing yet
