2010 ALCS: Yankees @ Rangers

[jacksonianmarch]

BTW, this might be the longest 2-0 game I have ever seen. We're going on 2 hours through 5IP and only 2 runs have scored.

The Yankees need to be shrewd with their final offer' date=' IMO. While it's undeniable that they will offer more than anyone else, and I think everyone agrees that they'll pay whatever it takes to get him, I'm sure they have a desire to go as low as possible on the "over". They need to accurately gauge his interest in staying put, because if the "over" is too light, he could stay.[/quote']

 

Yup all good points. It isn't a formality that Lee goes to the Yankees in the offseason. With that being said, I think Texas will be their only competitor. Do you see any other team with a legitimate chance?

[boston22407]

that curve is nasty

[jacksonianmarch]

Any move outside of Texas, Cleveland, Philly and Seattle will be foreign and would be a business decision (ie cash). Unless someone goes crazy ($25 mil, 6 yrs) then those 2 are the only teams in this thing.

[redsoxrules]

s***, he's at 80 pitches after 5

 

I cant see him pichting a CG , 8 tops

Agreed.

They are the main two. That said, excluding Boston, because of how much commitment they have to starting pitchers right now, any big market team could shock the world.

[d-money]

Pettitte has kept it within reach.I dont like the game being 2-0.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Hit the gap Hamilton.

[ORS]

JFC, that was about 10" outside.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Mistake pitch comin up?

[yankees228]

Inside FB would be the right call here.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Mistake pitch comin up?

 

Almost

[boston22407]

that was close

[ORS]

Mistake pitch comin up?

Yep, and he missed by about 4 mm.

[d-money]

Pettitte got very lucky, wow.

[jacksonianmarch]

Damn, I thought that was gone. Whew

[yankees228]

Inside FB would be the right call here.

 

This is like Utley in the World Series. It's telling how easily Mariano handled him in Game 1. He likes to dive out over the plate, and he's eating the entire inner third.

[jacksonianmarch]

Got lucky there, but far from out of the fire. Get this guy Andy!

[Station 13]

s***. Thought it was goneee.

 

Remember when pop up sail out? where that go?

[WhiskeyBreath]

Vlad about to look foolish.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Cut the s*** Pettitte.

[ORS]

Got by with another mistake to Vlad. Middle of the plate at the letters.

[Station 13]

Vlad is terribad in postseason.

[jacksonianmarch]

If that is Andy's last pitch in Yankee Stadium, it was a good one. Hope it isnt...

[yankees228]

Pettitte got very lucky in that inning, but that was an excellent pitch to finish off Vlad.

[a700hitter]

Hughes in game 2 was a mistake. Pettitte is pitching well and is getting out-pitched by Lee. Pettitte could have won game 2.

[WhiskeyBreath]

If that is Andy's last pitch in Yankee Stadium' date=' it was a good one. Hope it isnt...[/quote']

 

I'd let him face at least the next 2 hitters.

[jacksonianmarch]

He did get lucky. Hamilton should have put that ball into the upper deck and Vlad should have followed. If Joe isnt an idiot, he'll put Joba or Robertson in to start the 7th. But Joe is an idiot, so I have a feeling he puts Pettitte out there to start the 7th to get into trouble

[jacksonianmarch]

That's how you start it Gardy!
