2010 ALCS: Yankees @ Rangers

[Northern Star]

YANKEES WIN' date=' THAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YANKEES WIN!!!!!![/quote']

 

Yawn.

 

I really can't see how anyone can get excited when the deck is stacked so much.

[yankees228]

Softest run ever. Infield single off Hughes' glove, a walk against Hamilton when he probably should have had him struck out, and a terrible decision by Posada.

[yankees228]

The Rangers only put one ball in play against Hughes (a weaker chopper), and score a run. The Yankees hit three balls very well in the second, and get no runs. Hope this luck changes.

[Station 13]

Vlad is so f***ing awful in the playoff. Let's change that right now

[Station 13]

ohh f*** him.

[yankees228]

Hughes was reaching 95 with his FB when he was in trouble in the first. I hope he didn't gas himself there. With his pitch count already way up, he won't be long for this game.

[jacksonianmarch]

His second inning wasnt much better. Regardless, we are swinging good lumber vs Lewis. Hughes needs to stop the bleeding

[d-money]

I am waiting to see how the rangers will blow this one.They have played well so far to start the series but cant finish!

[jacksonianmarch]

Hughes is getting battered. Time to warm up the f***ing pen again. Stop the f***ing bleeding Hughes, cmon!

[jacksonianmarch]

GET HIM OUT OF THE f***ING GAME!!!

[yankees228]

GET HIM OUT OF THE f***ING GAME!!!

 

Shouldn't have been starting the game in the first place. The Yankees made their decision based on a 15.1 IP sample size. So stupid. Start your best pitchers in the most games, and no matter Hughes did in the ALDS, Pettitte is better.

[jacksonianmarch]

His fastball location has been abysmal thus far. This is not the Hughes we saw over the last 2 starts. Seems he and CC caught the same bug. I think we have a very good chance to come back again since we are ripping Lewis, but we need our f***ing pitchers to stop giving up runs

[d-money]

They wanted to put Pettitte against Lee so it wouldnt be so one sided.Pettitte is also a money pitcher.They wanted to slide in Hughes in that second game.

[d-money]

You guys have been basically outplayed so far in 2 games but the rangers havent finished the job.

[yankees228]

They wanted to put Pettitte against Lee so it wouldnt be so one sided.Pettitte is also a money pitcher.They wanted to slide in Hughes in that second game.

 

I know why they didn't. It doesn't make it the right move. Start your best pitchers in the most games. Hell, if it's so important to matchup with Lee, why not start CC in Game 3?

 

Answer: Because you go with your best pitchers in the most games.

[jacksonianmarch]

Robinson Cano is locked in

[jacksonianmarch]

Gotta bring this one home.

[jacksonianmarch]

GET THE f***ING RUN HOME, WTF??

Probably two of the worst situational hitters in all of baseball right there.

[jacksonianmarch]

Posada f***ing sucks. I really, truly hope he is not in a Yankee uniform in the offseason. He is f***ing garbage. Cannot hit to the situation, cannot f***ing catch, cannot throw. He's regressed to the point of ridiculousness.

[jacksonianmarch]

Berks gets the run home, that's good. Gardy leads off next inning, which is also good and we get our third look at Lewis. GOTTA HOLD EM HERE. If we can hold em, I have a very good feeling

[d-money]

Hope the rangers hold on to the win but this team cant close the deal.

[yankees228]

Posada f***ing sucks. I really' date=' truly hope he is not in a Yankee uniform in the offseason. He is f***ing garbage. Cannot hit to the situation, cannot f***ing catch, cannot throw. He's regressed to the point of ridiculousness.[/quote']

 

I have my issues with Posada, but he still posted a 116 OPS+ this year. Pretty excellent for a catcher. Next year he'll probably only catch 30-50 games, and then his Yankees' career will hopefully be over.

[jacksonianmarch]

He's already cost us 1 run. His lack of situational hitting nearly cost us another. And he calls an abysmal game as well. Jesus Christ, he is a walking stolen base.

[jacksonianmarch]

Cmon Hughes, stop sucking.

[yankees228]

The game calling is on the organization in my opinion. Cervelli isn't any better, and neither was Molina last year. As for the stolen bases, Posada has a poor arm, but that's more on the pitchers than anything. There isn't one guy on this staff (the league has caught up to Pettitte a bit) that holds runners on well. Posada rarely has a chance.

 

But I agree, Posada has his issues.

[yankees228]

Please no more Hughes next inning.

[d-money]

The rangers with a base running goof.I expect the comeback now.

[jacksonianmarch]

Huge DP right there, but every ball has been crushed. Hughes needs to reverse course here. Gotta go inside vs righties and outside vs lefties. All lefties are pulling him and all righties are creaming the ball away. Its almost as if Hughes cannot get he ball down

[Station 13]

Vlad doesn't do s*** again.
