2011 Yankee Gamethread

Colon was due for a bad outing. His last 4 starts, he's allowed a total of 4ER. He's struggled today, but he's kept them in it. Could be a lot worse. This team just lost the capability to hit for now.

[jacksonianmarch]

Girardi had his shot to pull him. Now 2 more runs and this dead offense wont come back. Get Noesi some time, this one is over

Agreed on this. Never should have started the inning.

[AtWork]

The wheels have really fallen off on Colon. 13 baserunners in less than 5 innings and a mid 90's fastball. It looks like he's just slinging the ball up there.

And the tire is around his mid-section.

It's called track record Dutchy

[Ace]

Its okay, he'll be fine once he gets injected with some more stem cells during the All-Star break.

[AtWork]

Track record before or after 2006?

[jacksonianmarch]

whatever it takes. Hopefully it gets him through the season. He can test positive in the offseason for all I care

[jacksonianmarch]

Track record before or after 2006?

 

The 14 games and 11 starts prior to this one point to something a bit more than Miller's interleague debut, Dutchy

[AtWork]

Aaron Small had a similarly extensive "track record" of success in 2005.

[jacksonianmarch]

Yet Colon does have a history of being a big league pitcher and throws much, much harder. Regardless, enjoy your time here Dutch. I can sense you from a mile away

[AtWork]

Colon has a history of being a comically bad major league pitcher since 2006. Maybe he's found something and turned a corner, maybe he hasn't. Either way, is it really worth getting butthurt over an 11 start track record?

[jacksonianmarch]

I am just saying that he was due for a bad one. I am not "butthurt" about anything Dutchy

That was 5 yrs ago captain. The Dutch has been making names left and right for awhile now.

[yankees228]

I think there's reason to believe that Colon will see a significant regression in the second half, but I also don't think this start is indicative of anything long term (just like, if he pitched a CG SO in his next start, that wouldn't have any long term significance either).

[jacksonianmarch]

Exactly y228. I am waiting for the bottom to drop out, but as of right now, tonight's game is nothing more than a blip in the radar. His location has been off today, and the ump isnt giving him corners. If the ump squeezes him, he's stuck because he doesnt throw his offspeed stuff

It doesn't matter you hypocrite. You made multiple accounts which is a no no on talksox. I don't care how long it was so stop being a douche to new posters.

[yankees228]

As for the Dutchy thing, if AW is Dutchy (and I'm not willing to say that that's a certainty), that doesn't bother me. I thought Dutchy was a good poster (albeit one who had a habit of pointing out everything positive with the Sox and everything negative with the Yankees), who just had one bad night with YOTN.

I am not being a douche. I am calling a spade a spade. Big difference. Personally, I dont care who posts here. And I dont advocate banning anyone.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

They also accused SoxFanForsyth about being Dutchy and look how that turned out. Lets just drop this.

exactly. I dont care who posts here. He wasnt a troll, and he made for some interesting discussions. He's as biased as I am, so it made for some interesting conversations. I am just saying that he got banned and keeps getting banned for a reason. They let me back because I toned down and stopped attacking people maliciously, and proved it under a new monicker. What I would recommend to anyone trying to blend in, though, come back with a toned down approach. Coming right out of the gate with vim and vigor gets you found out pretty quickly. And notice how he hasnt denied it...

I think we should drop it too, but the claim that AW is Dutchy makes a lot more sense than SFF being Dutchy. SFF and Dutchy don't have the same personality at all ... between posting style and personality, AW and Dutchy are very similar.

[yankees228]

He had other bad nights.

 

Guess I just don't remember those. Regardless, I didn't really have an issue with him.

[jacksonianmarch]

With ARod in a power slump and Tex having a rough week, this offense has sputtered. Adding in a terrible Jeter and taking out a guy like Nunez who had been hitting isnt helping

[AtWork]

Farnsworth shuts the door on the Yankees and the Red Sox are half an inning away from having the best record in the AL with 3/5ths of their rotation on the DL.

[a700hitter]

Just as I predicted, Jeter's return would end the Yankees recent winning ways.
