2011 Yankee Gamethread

Joe won't, but he would be wise to have Robertson ready to come in at some point next inning. Third time through the order, and Freddy's good fortune is bound to run out at some point.

[yankees228]

A-Rod out of the game. Not good.

A-Rod out of the game. Not good.

 

why?

[yankees228]

why?

 

No idea. Didn't run hard out his last ground out, but at the same time, he never does. The field conditions aren't great, but I don't think they would take him out in a 3-0 game if he was completely healthy. I suspect his tweaked something.

[yankees228]

1-2 change? Come on Joba.

[yankees228]

And once again, Soriano doesn't have a good fastball. Velocity is there, but poor location.

[yankees228]

And of course, with the big bats coming up, Mo sits.

[yankees228]

Like I said, his fastball sucks today, and has all season. Just can't believe Joe is so stubborn that he has no one up. Even if it's Robertson.

 

EDIT: And that doesn't look like Soriano's fault, but the pitch, once again, was terrible. Slider middle middle. No Mo in the pen. The Soriano/Joe combo looking to let another game slip away.

[Meh]

why?

 

tight oblique muscle. I got that too currently Feel bad for me.

[yankees228]

So lucky. Another terrible pitch.

[jacksonianmarch]

Garcia threw well. Joba and Mo threw well. Soriano still feeling it out. I have a feeling he is gonna still be worth the cash. And Tex broke out of his mini slump. Now we just need ARod to slather on some monistat and take the field tomorrow and today was a good day

[yankees228]

Yeah apparently the A-Rod injury is no big deal, but I wouldn't be surprised if he got a day off tomorrow, so Joe can give him two straight days. As for Garcia, some hard hit balls found fielders, and he only missed three bats all game. But at the same time it was nice that he pounded the strike zone, which was the biggest difference between this game and last game.

[jacksonianmarch]

That's all you need to do. Garcia has half the stuff that Nova does, but he got by against one of the best lineups in baseball by changing speeds and pounding the zone

[jacksonianmarch]

CC got jobbed against Beltre there

 

edit, nevermind, it was outside. Martin with a hell of a frame job

[jacksonianmarch]

f*** you Beltre you goddamn ****

[RedSoxFrank]

2-0 Texas

[jacksonianmarch]

Ogando has ace type stuff.

[ORS]

Beautiful night, about 70 degrees out, slight breeze, cloudless sky, got the game on XM on the back porch.....and I get Sterling/ Waldman. John just about filled his shorts commenting on all HR the Yankees are hitting, think that might have something to do with so many games at home to start the year, John?

[jacksonianmarch]

CC had it today aside from pitching to Beltre. The homer to Beltre was about 6 inches high of the zone. Tomahawk bomb

[jacksonianmarch]

Big Homer from Grandy there!

[jacksonianmarch]

I'd get Ogando out of there right now if I were Washington. His elevated fastball is starting to get caught up to

[jacksonianmarch]

Tex dropped his back shoulder there. That heater was a cockshot

[jacksonianmarch]

I wouldnt play with fire here. CC is out of gas and we have an theoretically effective 7-8-9 bridge here

[jacksonianmarch]

Good call by Girardi here. Cmon Joba!!

[jacksonianmarch]

and Joba walks the first f***ing batter he faces. You gotta be f***ing kidding me

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

So is it still a good call Jacko?

[jacksonianmarch]

It was the right call. We'll see if it works out. BTW, the call was right by about a tenth of a second.

[jacksonianmarch]

fat f*** Joba

[Meh]

fat f*** Joba

 

Joba been overused. He needs a break sometime.

[yankees228]

I don't have the energy to get upset at the Yankees after what just happened with the Knicks lol, but holy s***, the Yankees have no idea what pitches to call in certain spots.
