And CC looks terrible so far.

[yankees228]

Some offense!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

He's undefeated at home no?

[jacksonianmarch]

Swisher should be hitting 5th.

[jacksonianmarch]

That's the offense we've been seeing. Bases loaded, 1 out, double play. f***in Thames

[yankees228]

That's on Girardi. Why is Thames hitting ahead of Granderson against a RHP, especially with Granderson swinging the bat well.

[yankees228]

Excellent bounce back inning for CC.

to be fair, thames has been the yankees best hitter of late leading, hitting .435/.458/.609 this month and his ops against righties this year is better than his ops against lefties

[jacksonianmarch]

Granderson is starting to look like the guy we traded for. His bat is no longer dragging through the zone

[yankees228]

Granderson gives you the platoon advantage, and he's swinging well in the last few days. And there you go.

Verlander is leaving everything up

[yankees228]

Verlander is leaving everything up

 

Have to make him pay.

 

Have to be able to lay off that change up. Good pitch though.

[jacksonianmarch]

Tex chases at a change and lets him off the mat

[yankees228]

And they fail to capitalize. Tex is in a mini slump, and Cano is really struggling. Not the ideal middle of the lineup, and that result doesn't surprise me.

[yankees228]

2-1 changeup to Gerald Laird. Wonderful!

[yankees228]

Hard hit ball, but I'll take that result.

[yankees228]

3-2 slider to Johnny Damon. Unbelievable.

[jacksonianmarch]

CC gets out of it

[yankees228]

Cabrera up as the tying run.

 

EDIT: Just missed tying it. Horrendous 0-2 pitch.

[jacksonianmarch]

Got it in just enough

[yankees228]

CC really does not have good control tonight.

[yankees228]

But he gets out of it again. I wish A-Rod was healthy, but, at the same time, I like having Pena at third.

[jacksonianmarch]

No, he doesnt, but his stuff looks good. Hard fastball and his changeup is moving a ton. He just is having trouble locating. Might be a night to pull the big guy after 7

[jacksonianmarch]

I love Pena's glove, but his bat is an absolute black hole. He's the perfect utility infielder, but I think we deal him within the next couple seasons. His glove is starting caliber at SS

[yankees228]

Yeah, I don't want him being a full time player for the Yankees. Absolutely not.

[jacksonianmarch]

He'd be a good SS in the NL West or Central. 8th hitter, offensive black hole but defensive whiz

[yankees228]

Nice job by Jeter. That's a big run.

[yankees228]

I almost have more confidence in Jeter stealing bases at this point than I do in Gardner.

[jacksonianmarch]

Might be time to warm up the pen

[jacksonianmarch]

That looked pretty good, cmon CC hold it down for 2 more outs
