  1. Oh boy. The Phillies showed up tonight. Now Girardi, foolishly, makes a pitching change, which gives the Phillies a chance to warm someone up to pitch the 8th inning.
  2. The Yankees have to take a look at the way CC approached Utley during Utley's second AB of game 4.
  3. Yet, somehow, they don't realize this. And if they do, they're too stubborn to adjust their game plan. When he's doing that, even if Yankee pitchers hit the outside corner, it won't matter.
  4. I'm very disappointed in the Yankees. You have to knock Utley off the plate there. Make him move his feet. The Yankees' brain trust continues to disappoint.
  5. He could prove to be very valuable for the Phillies out of the bullpen in a potential game seven.
  6. That would be a very foolish decision by the Phillies.
  7. I really hope they knock Utley down in the seventh. He is just way too comfortable at the plate, diving out over it. If they don't do something to make him uncomfortable, he is going to continue to terrorize the Yankees this series.
  8. The old adage, "You can't steal first", really applies to Brett Gardner.
  9. Definitely not the same Lee as game one, but this isn't the lineup to take advantage of it.
  10. Aceves is the second to last guy out of the bullpen.
  11. Pedro is going to get the ball in game 6. I doubt it's even questionable.
  12. Teixeira has just looked awful for the entire postseason. If they lose this series, the media, unfairly, will probably turn him into the next A-Rod.
  13. Slightly less pressure on Hinske right here than there was in his last World Series AB.
  14. Hopefully Melky's injury =/= Olerud's injury. It was the first thing I thought of.
  15. Haha, well, you're a Red Sox fan. You know all too well about a pitcher being effective on two days rest, in a game seven, at Yankee Stadium.
  16. I see the argument behind this, especially because Burnett is significantly better at home than he is on the road. However, throwing Chad Gaudin, against the Phillies, on the road, against Cliff Lee, is the equivalent to forfeiting a World Series game. You just cannot do that.
  17. This is what AJ is, a hit or miss guy. When he has it, he's great (game two). When he doesn't have it, he's awful (game five). I've never seen a pitcher, as talented as AJ is, so prone to having an absolute stinker.
  18. If Lee does the same thing then it doesn't matter, but what an awful decision by Girardi. With the pitcher on deck, already down four runs, especially with two strikes on the hitter, you have to play the infield in against Ruiz. You cannot count on the double play, especially because the chances of solid contact go way down with two strikes.
  19. I don't think he would start game seven. If Manuel was reluctant to pitch him on three days rest, I just don't see him pitching him on two days rest, even if it is in a game seven. One of the main reasons you pitch your ace in game four (if he starts game one) is so he can start game seven. Because Manuel didn't do this, even considering Hamels' ineffectiveness, I doubt he would start him. However, it should increase his availability out of the bullpen.
  20. What's too bad about tonight is that it might be out of hand to the point where the Phillies could pull Lee early, which would increase his availability for the rest of the series.
  21. Well, AJ didn't have it tonight. Hopefully, next year, the Yankees realize that it doesn't matter who catches AJ. He is just incredibly inconsistent.
  22. You can't get a hitter like Utley out if you try to only throw it to one spot.
