this game feels like it should be in the 7th inning at least by now

[yankees228]

I thought it was a great decision to start Aceves. He was looking great out of the bullpen going multiple innings and he did well as a starter last year. It's better than throwing some AAA pitcher out there.

 

Have to think about the games ahead of you. And besides his last outing, he wasn't even pitching three innings out of the pen.

lol

 

The Twins are a joke

[TheKilo]

WHY DOES NICK PUNTO PLAY

 

Aaaaarghhhh

The thing is, if you start some AAA pitcher what are the chances that they give you length either? Hindsight is 20/20.

[Dutchy]

Bases loaded walk.

 

5-3 Yanks

 

Tolbert's up. Rally over in 3... 2... 1...

You can send him out there and just let him eat innings. And you don't have to believe me, but I felt the same way before he started.

[TheKilo]

Wooo gift run

[yankees228]

Cannot bring Robertson in with the bases loaded.

[yankees228]

He is clearly taking and Robertson can't even throw strikes.

 

EDIT: Terrible. Cannot let him face Mauer.

Alright, it's a legitimate complaint then. I just get annoyed with people saying stuff after the fact, but I believe you.

Gameday says Robertsons getting squeezed, accurate?

[msubulldogs21]

Hahaha back to back walks

[Dutchy]

Back-to-back bases loaded walks!

 

5-4 Yanks

 

Girardi's going to live Robertson in there to Mauer? He's an idiot.

[The_Destroyah]

hahaha i love watching NY fall apart.

 

Mauer with the bases juiced = Deadly

I thought he was actually

Yeah, to an extent. The umpire's had the same strike zone the entire game though.

Yes, but Liriano wasn't getting them either.

 

I hate Joe Girardi.

See below

[Dutchy]

Inning over. Twins are still in this one though.

[yankees228]

He's got a nice curve, but he doesn't have the fastball command to get ahead. Credit to Posada for calling that 2-1 curve.

Yeah, I remember a Yankees fan friend of mine sending me a youtube video of Robertson's curve. Must have been 2 or 3 years ago now. He was really excited about him.

 

Then again, he referred to Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain and Ian Kennedy as Trip-Aces.

[Dutchy]

Hahahaha, Swisher's an idiot. He gets fooled on a changeup so he swings harder and gets fooled even more. Then he swings even HARDER and gets fooled even MORE on a third straight changeup and strikes out.

[yankees228]

Finally.

[Dutchy]

Solo shot from Tex.

 

6-4 Yanks

[The_Destroyah]

tex kinda needed that

[yankees228]

Was Liriano getting it that bad?

[a700hitter]

Liriano really stinks.

[yankees228]

Not sure why Liriano wasn't featuring his off speed stuff early in the count earlier in the game...
