New York Yankees Gameday Thread

And there we go. Somehow the Yanks stay in the game.

[yankees228]

Would have probably been a good spot for Logan there.

[yankees228]

Ball game. Well Joe went with the bottom of the bullpen (which I don't blame him for), and it cost them the game.

[yankees228]

Maddon is managing this game so much differently than Girardi. When one team really goes all out for the win, and the other doesn't, the former is typically going to prevail.

[yankees228]

And out of nowhere, Jeter has looked very good at the plate since the Texas series. I'm not not optimistic about him after this year, but this does give me some hope for the postseason.

I am fine with him tanking that game. He has CC on the mound, a 1.5 game lead and a fully rested pen at home. I have a good feeling

[yankees228]

Of all the bad decisions Joe Girardi has made with the Yankees, if he gives the ball to AJ Burnett in game 2 instead of Andy Pettitte (which he has expressed a desire to do), it would be his absolute worst move of his career.

[yankees228]

Well CC and Price aren't living up to their last start. It's 2-1 in the third, and they've both pitched significantly worse than the score.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Cano is going to hit a grand slam watch.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I lied haha.

[yankees228]

Price is a hell of a pitcher. He doesn't have his best stuff tonight, but with the game hanging in the balance, and the heart of the Yankees order up, Price flashed his brilliance.

[yankees228]

Big inning coming up for CC here, as the Rays captured some momentum last inning and have the heart of their order up.

[yankees228]

I don't get that pitch selection at all. So stupid. Go with your slider there on 2-2. Also, A-Rod is awful defensively.

Saw this coming from a mile away.

[Spudboy]

This is a good game.

[yankees228]

He can't get around on the fastball, yet CC and Posada go to the change on 3-2. Just atrocious pitch selection, and here comes the squeeze.

 

EDIT: Especially tonight when CC doesn't have his good change.

[yankees228]

This is a mistake, leaving CC in.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Where's Dan Johnson when you need him

[yankees228]

Girardi you're a moron.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Score should be 4-3 Rays. That was not a strike. Maddon is right that was "********"

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Oh well he still got the walk so it's all good.

[yankees228]

Right on the borderline according to Gameday. Could have went either way.

 

Now, the 3-2 pitch was definitely inside. Joe left him in too long.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

After that first pitch by Joba I knew something bad was going to happen.

[italstallianion]

Yankees, it's your pick in the football league.

Thanks, I need a minute though to do a little research.

That's against the rules.

That's against the rules.

 

 

It's all right, it's not like he's going to win anyway.

You guys are tough!

[Spudboy]

WTF? 3 Hit batters?

[italstallianion]

WTF? 3 Hit batters?

 

 

In a row. I'd say eject him, but I want to see him get pounded.
