New York Yankees Gameday Thread

Kay is worse than James Carville when it comes to spinning things.

 

By the same token, you could say that he's also making an excuse for Danks. I don't think that's an example of him being a Yankee apologist.

[ORS]

Did he say it when Danks gave one up? I didn't hear the broadcast. I responded to Jacko's post, which portrayed it as something he said in defense of CC.

 

If he didn't, I don't buy into that extrapolation.

[jacksonianmarch]

He did say it in defense of CC, which was weak since all the homers were absolutely crushed.

[jacksonianmarch]

Thames on fire. Man, has he been a lifesaver this yr

[jacksonianmarch]

Turbo sinker working early for Nova. 95mph with almost straight downward movement. He looks good

[jacksonianmarch]

The Yankees need to order a case of B12 shots for Nova. 95-96mph sinker with curve and change.

[jacksonianmarch]

Nova, 1ER through 5IP. Yankees lineup anemic today. Gotta hold it down

[jacksonianmarch]

5.2IP 5H 1ER 1BB 7K, not bad in start #2. If the Yankees could just have a good lead, then maybe this kid can go deeper into games

[jacksonianmarch]

Why the hell does Gardner not steal here? Jeter is almost an automatic grounder, meaning he'll either single or ground out. We need a run here, not a single moving him to 3rd

Well you were right.

[jacksonianmarch]

I have watched Jeter all yr long. He no longer has any drive to the ball, he doesnt hit liners anymore and he cannot reach the gaps. Aside from the random homer, he's been a minus offensively.

[jacksonianmarch]

Jeter needs to go back to Athlete's Performance in the offseason. Last yr, he looked 10 yrs younger. This yr he didnt go and he looks like he's a 36 yr old SS.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Jeter has like 10 HR this year right?

[jacksonianmarch]

Yes he does. Its been weird. He's hitting enough homers, but he's not hitting enough doubles and just doesnt seem to drive the ball like he used to. He was never a true homer hitter. But he could always shoot the gap in RCF. He just doesnt do it anymore

[jacksonianmarch]

YANKEES WIN, THAAAAAAA YANKEES WIN!!!

 

Huge f***ing game by Nova today.

against the white sox aaaagainstttttt the whitesox!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

against the white sox aaaagainstttttt the whitesox!

 

Haha yeah the white sox are nothing to be proud of. I'm sure he only did that because we taunt him by saying "thuh Yankees lose" in big font whenever they lose.

I wasn't watching the game either, but I think making that comment after five home runs to left field (no matter which particular HR he said it after) is more of a general comment than anything. Additionally, I was there, and the flags were blowing out to left field, so it was also a truthful comment.

 

However, without watching the broadcast it's hard for me to comment, and if it really was in defense of CC, I completely agree with you. But with the comment being said after five home runs to the same part of the park, and with the flags actually blowing out to left field, I think it was likely more of a general statement (and a fact) than anything else.

[ORS]

You didn't listen to it, yet you think you know what the context was (when someone who did listen to it disagrees)?

 

OK.

[yankees228]

You didn't listen to it, yet you think you know what the context was (when someone who did listen to it disagrees)?

 

OK.

 

Unless he said CC only gave up the home run because of the wind, then I don't see what context would guarantee that it was being said in defense of CC, and only CC. Couple that with knowing that what Kay said is a fact, and I don't think he's being a Yankee apologist.

 

EDIT: But maybe Jacko can tell us at some point, more or less, what he said.

[jacksonianmarch]

I wasnt expecting to win, I was pretty psyched.

 

Nova looks like he could make an impact for this team.

[jacksonianmarch]

After the Jones homer, Kay said that "the ball is carrying really well to LF tonight." He may have been right, but the homers he gave up werent cheap. They were 7-8 rows deep

[yankees228]

After the Jones homer' date=' Kay said that "the ball is carrying really well to LF tonight." He may have been right, but the homers he gave up werent cheap. They were 7-8 rows deep[/quote']

 

I don't see how that can be construed as making an excuse for Sabathia. He said it after the fifth home run to left field in less than four innings. The wind was blowing out to left. Granted, it's a bit of useless analysis (especially when you consider that none of the five were cheap, as you mentioned), but it's a common thing to say. That many home runs, in that little time, to the same part of the park, is usually going to be prompt a comment like the one Kay said.

[jacksonianmarch]

Moseley sucked ass, but the Yankees hit a good pitcher and are up 8-4

[jacksonianmarch]

Who'd a thought Thames would be the best offseason pickup? He crushed another one

I agree with you, the Rays strength of schedule for September is much weaker, it will be tough for the Yankees to win the division yet fairly easy for them to win the Wild Card
