I refuse to believe that Mariano Rivera is a human being.

 

I hope he isnt. Cause I wish he could close forever.

What I loved about seeing Mo tonight was that his velocity is a little down (89-90) but the movement looks better than it ever was. That backdoor cutter to Kinsler was sheer beauty. I am definitely teaching my son how to throw a cutter once his hands are big enough (and once I have one). Looks like the daughter is coming first

Hopefully your son hates the Yankees because the world needs less of them.

Rhodes has been a Yankee patsy for about 15 years. The Rangers idiot manager somehow thought that history was irrelevant.

 

Total Yankee luck getting a washed up over the hill Chavez and him becoming a clutch performer. What a joke. Chavez was one step away from pumping gas before the Yankees signed him.

[Cocos Disciples]

Yeah, Chavez's resurgence is pretty surprising. The Yankees have a lot of those kinds of players this year; hoping for some more Aaron Small/Shawn Chacon luck.

[jacksonianmarch]

Chavez was one step away from having his L spine fused, which would have ended his career. He's not healthy enough to play every day, but as a guy who can spell ARod or Tex, he's becoming invaluable. If he keeps hitting like this, he might give Jorge a run for his money at DH

[jacksonianmarch]

I just dont understand how you watch a batter get walked on 5 pitches, then go up there hacking at a pitch low in the zone for the DP. I mean, wtf?

[ORS]

Walking Molina to start the inning....

 

Questionable strategy there, AJ.

[yankees228]

Glad to see AJ brought his control with him today. And glad to see Farrell and Escobar are dumber than rocks.

[jacksonianmarch]

Burnett's mechanics have unravelled this inning. Hopefully Rothschild talks to him in the interim. He wont get through the middle of the order unscathed if he keeps leaving pitches up or out of the zone

[jacksonianmarch]

TEX!!!!

[Station 13]

Don't let Burnett off the hook here.

[Station 13]

Yankees bullpen will be destroy with all the 5 inning starters .

[jacksonianmarch]

I hate Joe Girardi. What a dumbass. He's been off all game long. He starts off the inning like s***. He walks Patterson with a runner on 2nd and 1 out with showing absolutely nothing and he leaves him in there to face Encarnacion, who f***ing owns him. Then he lets him face Nix. Girardi sucks and I hope he falls into a buzzsaw on his way home tonight. We cannot win with managing this bad

CC says hi. But yeah, this team needs another horse

[jacksonianmarch]

KRob is looking like a closer right now. He is maturing into a pen ace.

[Station 13]

lol Jays. What an awful team that can't hit in key situations.

[ORS]

We know, they are all pen aces. Have been for years, and the next crew up will be to. Wake me when the song changes.

[jacksonianmarch]

Have you watched him at all? He looks like our second best reliever right now. Regardless, they'll all be burnt out if CC is the only guy who can get past 6

[jacksonianmarch]

good inning from Joba

[ORS]

He doesn't look remarkably different from any other year. He's a good strikeout pitcher, always has been, but he walks his fair share too. When that stops, he takes a step forward, but it's too early to tell if that's happened. He's thrown 5.1 innings coming into tonight.

 

I see Girardi is going with the Jabba as Tanyon Sturtze strategy.

[jacksonianmarch]

That's Joba's 10th inning of the year. We cannot continue to do that without blowing out his arm. The problem is, AJ was completely burnt, so he didnt have much recourse

[Meh]

Lance Pendleton time.

He's going to have his arm blown out before Joba... he warms up EVERY game. it's crazy.

[jacksonianmarch]

Well goodnight y'all

[boston22407]

mo having a great night

[Jasonbay44]

John McDonald ties it up in the 9th and Jays still have first and 2nd with only 1 out.

[yankees228]

I guess it's been a long time coming for Mo, but for once the umpire is taking strikes from him tonight.

[yankees228]

Also don't understand why Mo isn't going out of the strike zone once he gets to two strikes.

[ORS]

Was there ever any doubt Patterson would f*** that up?
