2011 Yankee Gamethread

[Dipre]

I'm still in contact with him. In fact, i'm playing in his fantasy league again.

 

(Posada got outclassed on that 3-2 pitch)

[boston22407]

He got out of that jam

[jacksonianmarch]

Battle of the pens now. A little nervous about Joba facing the middle of the order...

[Dipre]

Is it just me, or does Austin Jackson really look like Mike Cameron? (and he strikes out like him too)

[jacksonianmarch]

The umps are definitely off their games today

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

The umps will be off every game. I just hope it's not as bad as last year.

[italstallianion]

Looks like Joba can go back to the clubhouse buffet now after a good inning.

I'm at work so not watching on tv. But I won't EVEN try to listen on XM...Sterling and Waldmen....no thanks:thumbdown

 

GO TIGERS!

[yankees228]

Soriano will have a pretty tough debut having to face Miggy right off the bat.

i wanna join :harhar:

[yankees228]

Gardner had the second highest OBP on the Yankees last year. Yet, in his only two plates appearances with a man on, he bunts.

[italstallianion]

Great small ball by the 3 Yankees on my redraft team (Martin, Gardner, Jeter)

[yankees228]

The 3-2 to Miggy might have been slightly outside, but that was an excellent sequence for the K.

[italstallianion]

It was definitely outside, but it was well framed. And it's far from the worst call of the game.

[yankees228]

It was definitely outside' date=' but it was well framed. And it's far from the worst call of the game.[/quote']

 

Yeah, the overhead view showed that it was further outside than I thought.

[jacksonianmarch]

A few things...

 

Cano looks a little bit off in terms of his stride. He was dropping his back shoulder which is why he fouled off good pitches from Verlander and couldnt touch the ball belt high or above. He also had a bad error that cost us a run. Hope he isnt starting off the yr out in the weeds, something he did frequently prior to last season

 

CC had his changeup for 2 innings and his slider for about an inning and a half. To go against this lineup without a secondary pitch for 3 innings and still put up a QS is a great effort

 

ARod looks a little bit thinner and moved around at third a little better. But he absolutely squared up on a ball and couldnt drive it out. I hope it is attributable to the wind and not to a sudden lack of roids.

 

Martin scored 2 runs, is a much better catcher than Posada (not saying much), and looks a lot faster than I thought he would after hip surgery. If he is truly healthy, then he's gonna be a gem

 

Gardner got 2 bunts down today, something he had a LOT of trouble with last season.

 

Joba looked good, Soriano as well. We'll see about Mo.

[yankees228]

Swisher realized the game was going to end without him doing something stupid, so he had to make up for it. I'll take the run though.

[jacksonianmarch]

He actually wasnt going to second. He just saw that Cabrera got in behind him. It was a dumb play, but on first glance, I thought he was going to second all the way

[yankees228]

Sure, but as you mentioned, regardless of what he was thinking, it was dumb.

 

EDIT: They made 24 outs today, and gave away 3 of them.

[Cocos Disciples]

I dig the high socks on Mo.

 

Assuming they hold on, solid first win for the Yanks. Teixeira looks good, Martin looks promising, and while CC struggled a bit overall he was good, especially since he usually starts slow.

[yankees228]

Haha yeah, the high socks are funny. Not sure why he decided to go with them.

You say that like he's going to do bad

[yankees228]

Well I got on Granderson earlier for getting a bad read on a ball, but that was a really nice play all around.

[yankees228]

Really love seeing Granderson play that shallow. Takes away the bloops, and he goes back so well on the ball. Good strategy with Mo on the mound against a weak, left handed hitter.

[boston22407]

at-least mo got me a save and cc had a okay day for my fantasy team

[BigPapiEnFuego]

2011 World Champions! Can you believe it

[jacksonianmarch]

88-91 for Mo, but movement as usual. I love that guy. YANKEES WIN!!!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Tick another day off the calender right?

[Station 13]

Tigers gift wrapped this. Where was their offseason 15M man Benoit?

 

Avilla defense is awful.
