Completely catchable ball, but Curtis struggles on balls in front of him.

 

Anyway, the first two starts were fun, but this is the real Freddy Garcia.

Had to happen sometime. Colon next, hopefully (for me).

Then he goes out and gets the next 3 hitters. Garcia isnt a guy who will end the yr with a sub 2ERA. Nobody should expect that. But something akin to last yr isnt out of the question at all

Jacko ... look at the guys he got out. You find that impressive?

[yankees228]

And that's what happens when he faces good hitters.

[jacksonianmarch]

Never said anything about being impressive. He isnt. He's crafty, ie, his stuff isnt great. But I do think he can be a guy with a 4.50ERA by year's end

He sucks. He was lucky in his first two starts. Lets be realistic.

[Cocos Disciples]

Magglio Ordonez finally doing something! The only reason I like him is his name. It's so musical.

Do you think he has an ERA of 4.50 or less by year's end or not?

Closer to five, if not over.

[yankees228]

A-Rod is way off right now.

[jacksonianmarch]

Well, Garcia ends up giving us 7+ and we werent scoring anyway.

Tigers announcer after the final out: "Scherzer was off the chain."

Coco get your ass in the Red Sox gamethread.

Jeter pulled late due to a sore hip. Oh please, please be out for a few weeks. Nunez can play circles around Jeter

[yankees228]

Nice job Joe. What a disaster of a series.

[msubulldogs21]

Nunez can play circles around Jeter

 

He had two errors today. That one in the 7th was especially bad.

[yankees228]

There's a reason I've said since the beginning of the season that Nunez over Pena was a bad choice.

Offensively sure, but throwing errors continue to be an issue for him, Nunez has already made five errors this year, with two of them today, including a high throw in the seventh that gave the Tigers two runs.

 

He even had problems with errors as he lead the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees last year with over a dozen.

[pinstripezac]

The decision to carry Nunez over Pena was so stupid.

 

doesn't it suck being right sometimes

[Divinity]

Nice, two run shot for Granderson

[yankees228]

I don't understand how clueless Joe Girardi can be.

[Divinity]

Another wasted opportunity...

[yankees228]

What a waste. Just terrible.

[yankees228]

And Joe, come on, the guy is struggling. Can't trust him on 3-0.

[Divinity]

Another HR for Granderson!

[jacksonianmarch]

Nova spins a gem, Granderson carries the O and Mo shuts EM down. Would be nice if the rest of the lineup didn't suck, but a win is a win

[yankees228]

It's funny how predictable a hot start from Granderson was. I saw that everywhere.

 

Anyway, that's the best I've seen Nova look. Very few swings and misses, but the curve was decent and he had his best FB of the year. The downward movement was really good.

 

And I echo Jacko's feelings about the offense. Harrison was toast early, they let him off the hook, and then nothing.

Sorry ... missed this yesterday. Yeah, I never thought I would be glad to have Jeter out there at SS, but I was tonight.

[jacksonianmarch]

Colon throwing with less velocity and no location right now. He's getting smoked
