New York Yankees Gameday Thread

[Yaz Sideburn]

Burnett seems to get in trouble when he has too much stuff. Meaning, he operates a little better with slightly less velocity and movement. On days when his stuff looks just wicked, he typically cannot find the zone and then he needs to groove the ball. I dont think it is injury, it is just the nature of the beast with this guy

 

In terms of the Yankees overall performance, right now nothing is working. They are too good to continue this way, so I expect them to bounce back in short order. All teams hit a rut eventually, this is ours

 

so burnett is having a career worst year because his stuff is too good this season? hmmm, that's... creative

 

yeah, i figured they'd slump eventually. even the best teams do. if the sox are lucky the yankees will continue to slump for 5 more games

No. 600 for A-Rod!!!!!

[jacksonianmarch]

YESSSS. Now he is gonna go on a f***ing tear. This is his 3 yr anniversary of his 500th as well

[Palodios]

I don't think I've ever been more excited for an A-rod home run! Now ESPN can stop obsessing over it!

[Yaz Sideburn]

thank god. hearing about that d-bag on a daily basis sucked

[yankees228]

Hopefully A-Rod gets hot after that. And the Yankees continue to struggle against a changeup.

[Meh]

thank god. hearing about that d-bag on a daily basis sucked

 

Imagine what it'll be like when No. 700 comes around in like 2013.

[yankees228]

Here comes the Hughes' implosion.

[italstallianion]

I'm glad that he hit it. Now I can watch TV regularly without being interrupted by an steroid using attention whore weakly grounding out. Congratulations A-rod, you're still a douchebag.

[yankees228]

Why are they not trying to get him chasing on a hook?

 

EDIT: Works, but it made absolutely no sense.

[jacksonianmarch]

Hughes has a good hook working today. Seems like his pitch selection has been mediocre at best, and that falls on Posada.

[jacksonianmarch]

I like the way Posada and Hughes have adjusted this past inning. I am perfectly fine with Hughes operating at or above the letters. His FB may be 92-93, but he hides it well so letter high FBs are rarely turned on. I would have caution as the game goes on, though. Cause 6 inches lower and the pitches are meatballs

[Meh]

GD Kay why are you talking so much?

GD Kay why are you talking so much?

 

I've asked this question for years

A-rod isn't what he used to be

Yes we all know Alex Rodriguez used steroids for during the 3 years he was in Texas out of his 17 year career, does that mean the other 14 years should count for nothing? Alex had his best career year in 2007 and won the AL MVP when drug testing was well in place. Obviously he's far talented enough to be an elite player without Roids.

if a-rod said he only used steroids for 3 years it must be the truth. juuuuuust like when he said that he never used them

 

and mlb drug testing is a joke. the companies designing steroids are 10 steps ahead of them and they don't even test for hgh

It was a joke man.

[Divinity]

Alright nevermind then lol

[jacksonianmarch]

He's still very capable of being a .290 30HR 120RBI player this yr, which is what I think he will end up with. Surprisingly enough, hitting in front of Cano has caused his OBP to go down a bit. Not many people willing to bypass ARod to face NYY's best hitter

[Yaz Sideburn]

...with an .800 ops.

[jacksonianmarch]

...with an .800 ops.

 

He'll end up with an OPS in the high .800s.

[Yaz Sideburn]

He'll end up with an OPS in the high .800s.

 

what about his .724 ops since the all-star break makes you think he's gonna raise his ops by 100 points by the end of the year? may's the only month all year in which he's had an ops over .777

[jacksonianmarch]

The fact that said OPS has been massively altered by the 600 HR

[redsoxrules]

[Yaz Sideburn]

WATCH OUT! A-Rod's OPS has skyrocketted to .412 in the month of August. On fire. Book it
