I’m confused. I was under the impression that the game was over when the Yankees trailed 1-0 in the second. I guess the rumors were right, and they do actually play 9 innings.
I thought I read an article with a scout saying his bat speed is gone, and another one how his fly balls, liners, and fliners are travelling less distance this year?
Yeah, but the announcer is supposed to be excited when the home team does well. I mean, he’s broadcasting to the team’s fans. They don’t want to hear that monotonous shit.
Whenever the camera turned to Torre during the games, he always came off as being very calm. The guy would be drinking tea for half the game. Whenever the camera turns to Girardi, you can actually watch him age right before your eyes. He is wound up so tight. I’m not saying which one is better, or if one strategy is better than the other, I am just saying it is a noticeable difference.
Also, I expected his stuff to be a lot nastier, given some of the lines he’s held hitters to. For example, his 2007: RHB had a .329 OPS against him. That’s right, OPS. Maybe it’s the deceptive delivery.
The weird thing is that he was just a garden variety middle reliever in Japan, nothing special at all. Older guy whose career was coming to and end, and wanted to give US ball a try.
Yes, you can. You’re paying $36M for his decline years. He won’t be this good when he’s 39, and he’s no good on the basepath or the field. No one said the deal would be bad for this year, but it will get ugly starting next year.
Yeah, but do you remember people saying the Yanks would regret the last two years of the Damon deal? Yeah, Ibanez is older, but it’s still the same idea.
For real though, he was the best considering there wasn’t much buzz about him and he has had himself a great year so far. Everyone questioned the signing and it has payed off big time. Better than Tex though? I dunno
I wouldn’t doubt it. A hospital in England has been doing a trial with contact lenses soaked in a culture of stem cells and it has cured blind people and restored vision in people who were nearsighted. That’s fucking CRAZY!
In all seriousness stem cells or RNAi technology allows almost anything to be possible at this point, since there’s so much promise and a lot of unknown.
Yes, I am unitelligent. Your ACE is approaching 120 pitches in the rain, with zero outs in the 8th, missing the zone, so yes I am unintelligent. And now he has runners at 1st and 2nd, no outs, luckily did not pull a hamstring on a wet field.
Jesus fucking christ you fucking people do nothing but sit and attack every mother fucking comment. Get a fucking grip. There is NOTHING unintelligent about my post.
Ummm this is why the closer mentality is retarded. You should be bring Mo in this situation and then have Aceves face the bottom of the lineup. Unbeleiveable
No, this is a situation where using Mariano would be the best option because the opponent’s best hitters are up with the tying run on second and the go ahead run on first.
To reiterate what everyone else said, I’d much rather see Mo here, and someone else for the 9th. Unfortunately, no one’s gonna use a closer like that . . . once he’s in, he’s staying in.
as manager, im happy with 1 ER in 7 innings from my ace… 9,1,2 coming up… why not your set up man… doesnt make sense, i can see if CC had 90 pitches, but 100+…
Man. I don’t know what to say. We can’t catch a break. What do we have to do to get just one win against this team? So frustrating. Can something go in our favor just for once? Like holding a lead for more than an inning?
Not gonna knock CC. He pitched a great game and ran out of gas. Just another tough break.
Joe should have pulled CC, and let Aceves start the inning, at least he should have pulled CC after allowing a baserunner, not wait until a run gets knocked in with no outs.
This if fucking BULLSHIT. Joe Girardi is a FUckIng dumbass!! Leave your ace out there in the rain after over 120 pitches when he’s clearly out of gas. Fucking unacceptable, i’m tired of this shit. We’ve got a bullpen for a reason, put in D-Rob or Alfie to right when CC shows signs of tiring, not when the game is about to be blown. JOE GIRARDI, YOuR A MOTHERFUCKER.
No, i wouldn’t be. You can’t expect someone to be going strong after well over 100 pitches. If Joe wanted CC starting the inning, fine, but if it wasn’t fucking clear that he didn’t have it after nick green got on, it should have been crystal fucking clear after the walk.
Incorrect. Every GM on this blog said burning CC like it was the last game of the year was the way to go. Instead, he was gassed and left the tying and go ahead runs on base.
Minus one outing for Veras last year and his ERA was under 3.00, Edwar was acceptable last year, and Bruney is hurt this year, Marte is hurt as well. Juan Cruz was the only guy out there and he has a ERA over 5 in KC.
I’ve defended Girardi many times, but this is on him. Mo should have been out there. I’m not saying hes not the right manager for this team, but this was clearly the wrong call.
Agreed. Please don’t second guess Girardi there. CC was dealing and he’s shown he can work out of trouble time and time again. Aceves couldn’t get the job done. Now we just gotta stop the bleeding and score in the 9th.
after the 7th was over, coke or aceves should’ve been in… once u got to the 4th hitter in the inning, u dont bring one of them in than… thats when u bring in Mo. Girardi fucked everything up, sorry… but where’s Sweet Lou?
first
kill yourself
Fucking A-Rod. Now we can’t have the show unread comments feature for the rest of the night.
He broke it?! Just like all Yankees fans Hearts.
def broke it b/c of the roids
I thought the site got bogged down – couldn’t refresh
Longoria crushed that homer. looks like he might be back close to full strength
Absolutely perfect timing for Arod to get a hit.
Arod got his.
Come on Cc quick inning right here.
I’m confused. I was under the impression that the game was over when the Yankees trailed 1-0 in the second. I guess the rumors were right, and they do actually play 9 innings.
The new rule said that when the Red Sox score they win…but they haven’t upheld it. I r confused too.
Red Sox are protesting.
are we basically seeing Cervelli become CC’s personal catcher?
http://riveraveblues.com/2009/.....ent-417401
apparently not, I’m just an idiot
180 million reasons why
That’s a double with Bobby Abreu out there.
K-BALL!! let’s go, fuck this Shrek fag.
Really?
Come on man, no gay bashing.
CC is still the player the game.
This David Oritz person seems to cause a lot of problems for us.
0-2 hits = hair pullers.
But then again, CC has very little hair…
Of course Papi hits rockets against the Yankees and cant hit a beach ball against every other team in the MLB.
Seriously, what the hell?
I thought I read an article with a scout saying his bat speed is gone, and another one how his fly balls, liners, and fliners are travelling less distance this year?
double play Cc.
Michael Kay wasnt so excited when A-Rod had the hit… shouldn’t one of us be the broadcaster?
Michael Kay is a secret Yankee hater!
Actually, I think the problem is that he’s a huge Yankee fans, and overcompensates when he attempts to sound unbiased.
Yeah, but the announcer is supposed to be excited when the home team does well. I mean, he’s broadcasting to the team’s fans. They don’t want to hear that monotonous shit.
Agreed!!!
Yeah, he gre up in the Bronx around the corner from the stadium. Says he’s not a fan anymore, but I don’t know about that.
+1
Whenever the camera turned to Torre during the games, he always came off as being very calm. The guy would be drinking tea for half the game. Whenever the camera turns to Girardi, you can actually watch him age right before your eyes. He is wound up so tight. I’m not saying which one is better, or if one strategy is better than the other, I am just saying it is a noticeable difference.
Girardi always standing up with his arms crossed too looking pissed as fuck.
Baldelli looks stupid!
Umpire is calling more strikes – he must want to get out of the rain.
fuck yeah CC
Peace, Rocco.
Looks like Cervelli hangs out with Joba.
I have always wondered why Joba can’t move his target to Veritak once in a while from Youkilis…he is so over due for one on numbers..
What?????
Some one needs to drill Veritak once in a while..
Dorian – in your response to your last post last thread. Yes I FAILED, I’ll take that all day everyday baby.
I would have as well lol
BEAST!!!!
I think hes going for the complete game tonight even if it takes 130 pitches like halladay the other day.
CC is so fucking awesome, even though he doesn’t want to be in NY.
Untrue. The Angels made a good offer for him so we had to apy more. Plus he moved his family in the area.
Sarcasm.
Varitek is unproductive, no luck in him, youkilis, full of luck, hit youkilis.
CC has pitched awesome but a few more runs won’t hurt at all.
C.C has been worth every single penny.
good luck getting cc out of this game, joe
Molina can take his time in Tampa … i get the feeling that CC wants Cerv around.
http://riveraveblues.com/2009/.....ent-417401
No way!!! It can’t be that way b/c Posada is god!
not saying Posada’s not, but sometimes pitchers do prefer pitching to a certain catcher
You have really put that link to use tonight.
just twice and just for you
put a 10 spot on this bullpen, watch how they’re not #1 anymore.
That number looks so weird on Saito.
Damn, it’s coming down.
Damn, it’s
cominggoing down.MEET ME AT THE MALL
Watching on YES bonuscam–watching Girardi shake from side to side is priceless.
Cervelli handles pitchers better than Posada
Ibanez with a 2-out, 3-run HR in the 10th inning. Amazing.
Guess he’s pissed about everyone talking about how bad his contract was.
or the steroid accusations
Eckersley is a pretty good announcer. NESN does a decent job…at least on days when Jerry Remy is off.
I enjoy Eckersley, he’s like what the hell just throw it
Remy is off recovering from surgery for lung cancer.
Saito looks huge, but he’s only 6′1″.
Also, I expected his stuff to be a lot nastier, given some of the lines he’s held hitters to. For example, his 2007: RHB had a .329 OPS against him. That’s right, OPS. Maybe it’s the deceptive delivery.
About 5′5″ of that is his legs.
The weird thing is that he was just a garden variety middle reliever in Japan, nothing special at all. Older guy whose career was coming to and end, and wanted to give US ball a try.
How can you be garden-variety with hi-90s FB with a deadly split and impeccable control/command?
http://www.thebaseballcube.com.....itoh.shtml
Look at the man’s stats. I don’t know what changed between then and his time as a Dodger, but something had to, right?
This is a different Saito then 2007, he has a torn elbow ligament and had the same procedure Nady is having right now.
Darling said that Ibanez the best free agent signing in all of baseball including Teixera.
Well for the money spent you cant argue with his assumption.
Yes, you can. You’re paying $36M for his decline years. He won’t be this good when he’s 39, and he’s no good on the basepath or the field. No one said the deal would be bad for this year, but it will get ugly starting next year.
Yeah, but do you remember people saying the Yanks would regret the last two years of the Damon deal? Yeah, Ibanez is older, but it’s still the same idea.
But Damon can run and has range, and his bat, even at that time, would play passably at a corner. Ibanez has no ability outside of his hitting tools.
Yes, 11% of the way into his contract, it is time to definitively declare that.
Andy, did you get that much-needed nose job yet?
Do you play defense too in baseball?
BUT HE DOES PED’s!
For real though, he was the best considering there wasn’t much buzz about him and he has had himself a great year so far. Everyone questioned the signing and it has payed off big time. Better than Tex though? I dunno
Yesterday I stated that all I wanted was for C.C to stand on the mound at the end of the 9th inning pump his fist and shout obscenities.
they have to stop this game, don’t they?
No, because then they have to take CC out.
Man, Matsui has missed some pitches this game he should’ve had….
Well at least he got a single.
hey, we hit the big green thing out there…
I love hearing a pin drop in that dump here’s hoping Melk Man cashes in.
2008 Melky swings at that pitch.
Matsui is done.
Nice catch by Roc.
Baldelli hasnt run out of luck…
man good catch by Baldelli. horrible route to get to it
eh nice rescue catch I thought that was getting by
I did not think he would catch that.
Damn it.
Damn. Sick play. That hit was slicing fast
Fuuuuck. Melky has been robbed a couple times this series.
shouldve hit it to one-nut lowell.
wow there is no way i thought baldelli makes that play..since he cant kill us with his bat anymore, he robs us in the field pffft
Why isnt gardner running for matsui?
Because Matsui is FAST!!!
he’s probably going to CF for defense with Melky moving to RF
hey i was right
Genius!!!
i tell myself that everyday
You can’t be right. No one but Axl can be right. Everyone knows that.
Baldelli will miss a week of games.
“they’ll play through this unless it starts to pour”, what does Kay call this?
Do you think some sort of byproduct of stem cell research could help Baldelli’s condition?
I wouldn’t doubt it. A hospital in England has been doing a trial with contact lenses soaked in a culture of stem cells and it has cured blind people and restored vision in people who were nearsighted. That’s fucking CRAZY!
thats crazy
In all seriousness stem cells or RNAi technology allows almost anything to be possible at this point, since there’s so much promise and a lot of unknown.
Ew
OK, my five minute tape delay over–Baldelli got a bad jump on that ball. Spectacular catch on a slightly difficult play.
If they call the game, the Yanks win? It doesn’t get suspended and finished later does it? Like in the World Series?
It can’t be called if the visiting team is leading and home team hasn’t batted.
It can only be called at the end of an inning?
Don’t they go back to the last complete inning as long as it is 5 innings or more?
Nope…It happened couple years ago in Baltimore..they played remaining innings few months later..
It’d be a Yanks W at this point.
That’s what I thought
They won’t call it. It’s against the rules in Boston.
Over/Under 1K for Sabathia this inning.
over
with that pitch, I believe so.
DOH!
push
Mexican Gangster up
wow that was a horrible swing
hey, lets sign nick green, he’s lucky…
Y couldnt he hit when he was with us.
This is CC’s game. No messing around with Al freaking Aceves.
CC straight to Mo. no other way
I trust Al, but I think CC can handle it.
that 2nd pitch to PEDroia wasnt a strike?
His grittiness made it a ball
high
This is just stupid leaving CC in this game.
why?
no my friend. you are unintelligent.
Yes, I am unitelligent. Your ACE is approaching 120 pitches in the rain, with zero outs in the 8th, missing the zone, so yes I am unintelligent. And now he has runners at 1st and 2nd, no outs, luckily did not pull a hamstring on a wet field.
Jesus fucking christ you fucking people do nothing but sit and attack every mother fucking comment. Get a fucking grip. There is NOTHING unintelligent about my post.
i couldn’t agree more.
Joe this is CC’s Game leave him in there.
double play time?
im praying for one
CC not going to be in there for much longer
he’s at 120
Dustin Pedroia is NOT the toughest hitter to strike out. Ever heard of Albert Pujols?
wtf is with this midget…get him out cc on next pitch
Kay, can you announce for the red sox… fuckin christ.
He is so boring he should announce for the Wall Street Journal company softball team.
Great move Joe.
Tough spot for Aceves to be coming in here
leave him in for drew, hopefully we can get a GIDP
shize. midgets and their tiny strike zones.
You really should bring Mo in for this inning.
I hate Pedroia but that was a great AB.
good ab by pedroia
A double play CC.
atta boy, let him pitch
Wow, absolutely shocked CC is staying in here.
no one else is
shyt.
figures… luck > skill.
ugh this is not good
We are fucked.
Some optimism, anyone, please?
damn it man…
I hate the red sox so much.
horale
Straight to Mo?
Well that one backfired on them
pc69 was correct again
Aceves? Well, here’s a test . .
ugh not what i want to see. i trust aceves but against youk and bay…
CC lost the bite on his fastball toward the end.
Thats what happens when you throw over 120 pitches in a stressful ass game.
fuck. now the gangster to face youkilis. im shitting bricks.
From the Mexican League to 2 on no out bottom of the 8th inning in Fenway Alfredo Aceves this is your life.
Now I understand that you don’t want to use Rivera for 6 outs…but doesn’t this count as the at-bat of the game here?
I’m with you. This is the game right here. Bring Mo in now.
Yep, atta boy let him pitch. 1 run in already zero outs and tying run at second.
Why not go to Mo here?
I’m sorry, you have to go to your best reliever here. This is the save situation.
+1
http://riveraveblues.com/2009/.....ent-427414
Ummm this is why the closer mentality is retarded. You should be bring Mo in this situation and then have Aceves face the bottom of the lineup. Unbeleiveable
+4291
What do they do? Aceves for 6 outs or Mo for the 9th?
It’s the 8th.
you know CC is a beast, but after the first hit, you pretty much made sabathia throw BP…
If Girardi were coaching the Red Sox, he’d bunt right here
im not feeling so hot about this, 1st & 2nd none out, aceves vs youk in a 1 run game..please work your magic mexican gangster
I can’t handle this!!!!!!!!!!
This is a situation where wang could be useful in the pen. Try to get the DP.
No, this is a situation where using Mariano would be the best option because the opponent’s best hitters are up with the tying run on second and the go ahead run on first.
Wang in the pen in this situation??
Do you want them to hit a 3 run homer?
C’mon Aceves!!!!!! Please!!!!
I have faith in the Mexican Gangster. He doesn’t mess around. Come out throwing strikes and shut the Sox down. Viva la Mexico!
Don’t second guess the move now people. There was nobody I wanted on the mound but C.C
I don’t think anyone’s mad about keeping CC in. I’d rather Mo be in instead of Aceves.
To reiterate what everyone else said, I’d much rather see Mo here, and someone else for the 9th. Unfortunately, no one’s gonna use a closer like that . . . once he’s in, he’s staying in.
For the love of Mo, Can’t we have two innings of Mo?!?!
Girardi is gonna live or die with this decision I’m hoping the Gangster gets after these fools
No way you go to Rivera here. Shit happens in Fenway Park, and this 8th inning has the same amt. of pressure that the 9th has.
as manager, im happy with 1 ER in 7 innings from my ace… 9,1,2 coming up… why not your set up man… doesnt make sense, i can see if CC had 90 pitches, but 100+…
CC has always been pitching +100 pitch games.
Man. I don’t know what to say. We can’t catch a break. What do we have to do to get just one win against this team? So frustrating. Can something go in our favor just for once? Like holding a lead for more than an inning?
Not gonna knock CC. He pitched a great game and ran out of gas. Just another tough break.
God if Aceves blows this, ESPN and Francessa will be horrible to listen to and you know why….
1st and 2nd no out and a run already in is a damn difficult situation.
We need a triple play
Seriously, what the hell are you doing Girardi!?!?!?! Phil Coke up???
CC is great at pitching 100+ but 2 longer than usual innings, rain, and 9,1,2, shoulda went fresh with set up.
Cut some heads off Aceves!!! I know its in your blood!
Joe should have pulled CC, and let Aceves start the inning, at least he should have pulled CC after allowing a baserunner, not wait until a run gets knocked in with no outs.
you’re so good at second guessing
but if CC had gone 1-2-3 you would have said girardi was a genius for keeping him in through a high pitch count.
Cmon Ace…show them our pen is better!
Girardi looks like he’s gonna mix and match his way through this 8th
WTF WAS THAT
C’mon! we cant load the bases with no outs!
That was not a strike.
The way this ump has been calling yes it was
hmm… got most of the plate… perfect height… we’ll call it a ball.
anyone on Gameday? that was def. a strike
Last pitch was strike 3
I hate these umpires. Hate them. Hate them. Hate them.
alfie drop s nasty hook for a change ive seen you do it many times baby.
haha for a strike, too late though.
fuck man. damn this closer in the 9th shit.
This sucks, at least they didn’t score.
Pedroia wouldve been gunned at the plate
The difference between Cabrera’s arm and Swisher’s arm is the difference in the game right now.
Can we get a damn groundball?
Bring in MO
I’m going to cry if he hits a granny smith
doesn’t matter a single puts the game out of reach.
All this while the best closer in history of baseball is sitting in the bullpen
ohh damn
damn
Horsecrap.
dammitttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
Fuck come on…
ugh this is horrible
Fuck you, Aceves.
Aceves needs to get 5 strikes per AB. Fuck you, umpire.
How can this team f stuff up this quickly?
This is bad luck nightmare.
I would have rather have been shutout than taken the lead and blown the game like this. The Red Sox are the Yankees daddy.
this is fucking unbelievable
WE GOT FUCKIN ROBBED AGAIN.
are we really going to go 0-8
does anyone else want to punch some of these fans in the face or is it just me?
Youk struck out, this should be bases loaded with 1 out… not tie game, ump fines? please…
ouch.
Not a save situation anymore.
motherFUCK.
FUCK!!!!!!!!
eff!!!!!!
OH FUCK….
Ace now needs to throw his curve.
Left CC in too long.
And not having any type of bullpen catches up to us.
I’m sorry, Al has been awesome, so don’t start. Go back to not commenting.
Yea, he was great tonight.
New spill over thread. STAT.
Now put that…down and away.
Aceves is a solid innings eater out of the pen. He doesnt have the stuff to get out of jams like this.
fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
wow what kind of throw was that?
youve got to be fucking kidding me
Fuck this.
i blame this on Nick fukin Green for that leadoff single
I COULD MAKE A MOTHERFUCKING BETTER THROW THAN THAT!!!!!!!!
Very odd, Yanks seems to be a totally different team v Boston
RAG ARM GARDNER
This is ridiculous
And Gardner lawn darts it. Argh.
Clearly not Aceves’ night.
I could have kicked the ball harder than that Gardner.
Damn. Grit Gardner.
This if fucking BULLSHIT. Joe Girardi is a FUckIng dumbass!! Leave your ace out there in the rain after over 120 pitches when he’s clearly out of gas. Fucking unacceptable, i’m tired of this shit. We’ve got a bullpen for a reason, put in D-Rob or Alfie to right when CC shows signs of tiring, not when the game is about to be blown. JOE GIRARDI, YOuR A MOTHERFUCKER.
where were your posts earlier this inning?
my computer was messed up.
how convient
what the fuck are you talking about?
i said its convient your computer was down when the debate happened, but popped back up when it was time for the second guessing
shut the fuck up, i’m not second guessing. I wanted CC pulled before the start of the 8th inning to begin with.
Oh stop it. If he pulled CC and put Ace in to start the inning and he coughed it up, you would be bitching that he pulled CC.
very true.
No, i wouldn’t be. You can’t expect someone to be going strong after well over 100 pitches. If Joe wanted CC starting the inning, fine, but if it wasn’t fucking clear that he didn’t have it after nick green got on, it should have been crystal fucking clear after the walk.
What in the fuck was that, Gardner?
I blame A-Rod.
Jesus Mary and Joseph.
i hate doing this but im throwing some blame on Girardi. you cant leave Mo out there sitting in the pen in that spot.
Incorrect. Every GM on this blog said burning CC like it was the last game of the year was the way to go. Instead, he was gassed and left the tying and go ahead runs on base.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-xKUU5sWS4
Does Drew tag-up if Melky was making that catch in CF????
does Pedroia score two plays before with Swisher in RF?
Wow we really do deserve to lose this game
this is unbelievable
wow gardy, your arm is bad, not that bad.
Game over
There is your game. Should have gone directly to the pen to start the inning.
That throw almost caught the infield dirt and he wasn’t that far away
The Mike Bloomberg ads are making this moment worse.
I just threw my entire office supply organizer off my desk im so fucking mad! Why was Mo not brought in!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I’ve got to find something to punch, and fast. I’m convinced that Girardi and the yanks wanted to lose this fucking game.
The crappy part is that Boston isnt that great a team.
Unbelievable
lol@gardners arm
and even more lol@bringing in a guy who pitches to contact in this situation.
we need guys who strike people OUT
Aceves: 24.2 IP
24Ks
So shitty. I wish Gardner could have at least made it a play at the plate.
why the fuck do we have mo? do get pressure outs. there were no greater pressure outs than the ones that were just given to alfredo aceves.
fucking goddamn it.
Not much to say here besides FUCK!!!
This is why the save rule has ruined managing. Rivera should’ve been in, not Aceves.
I blame Tony LaRussa. Worst dude.
JOBA TO TEH 8TH!@#@!#!@#!@#!@!!!
No seriously, just give us Mo for 2 innings!@!!
We need to destroy Papelbon.
Where are you batting in the order? I’m 7th.
I’m on the bench. Hope you win it for us!
WE could do it.
we won’t get a hit, our souls have been crushed
George Steinbrenner: better bullpen by now.
Cashman: we’ll come around by the 180th game.
how the fuck do you get a better bullpen? oh lets trade for krod
Having faith in rag tags like Edwar and Veras is good front office skills?
Minus one outing for Veras last year and his ERA was under 3.00, Edwar was acceptable last year, and Bruney is hurt this year, Marte is hurt as well. Juan Cruz was the only guy out there and he has a ERA over 5 in KC.
PITCH MO THAT’S HOW!
Sad part is CC’s line is 4 runs in 7 innings and most likely the Loss.
aceves killed it
I’ve defended Girardi many times, but this is on him. Mo should have been out there. I’m not saying hes not the right manager for this team, but this was clearly the wrong call.
oh come on , ortiz swung there
Do we really need Girardi, seems to make some horrible errors in judgment
NO HE’S THE STUPIDEST MOTHERFUCKING MANAGER I’VE EVER SEEN. I WOULD LITERALLY FIRE HIS ASS.
by the way i was serious, not sarcastic here
more importantly we need to stop the sox rally here
FUCK JOE GIRARDI. HE SHOULD BE FUCKING FIRED RIGHT NOW!! NO ONE TO BLAME FOR THIS LOSS BUT HIM. GODFUCKINGDAMMI.
this one hurts real bad
Wander if Wang wasnt so horrible last night and Hughes didnt pitch if he wouldve been brought in tonight.
When has Girardi ever brought Mo into a game in the 8th in a non save situation?
Get over that. We don’t have any type of pen. Aceves is a swingman. Not a shutdown 8th inning set up man.
Lanny! Again another post that is more constructive than others I have seen.
He’s done both actually and done it well.
dammit throw fucking strikes coke.
Coke was clearly not prepared for this, mentally.
At least Aceves threw strikes.
Damn. People pitch when CC is pulled, bitching when he’s not. SHUT UP!
pitch = bitch
he shouldnt have gone out gotta give the bull pen a chance
keeping C.C. in was fine, until he came out to the mound the first time and left him in.
But bringing aceves in? oh cmon
Teix is due for a hut. Let’s hope he blasts one.
*Sigh* ignore that
Agreed. Please don’t second guess Girardi there. CC was dealing and he’s shown he can work out of trouble time and time again. Aceves couldn’t get the job done. Now we just gotta stop the bleeding and score in the 9th.
Maybe Hughes is the 8th inning guy, also what do we do with Wang and his 22 ERA
Hahah niiice.
I hope Bruney gets healthy super fast. Aceves has been solid for us, but Bruney has more of an eighth inning makeup IMHO.
Why am i not surprised Coke is sucking?
COKE IS TERRIBLE
ACEVES PITCHES TO CONTACT, HE GIVES UP HITS TOO, GENIUS MOVE
Ok, stop fucking around. Bring in Mo.
u walk him on 4 pitches hes not gonna swing at the 3-0 count.
after the 7th was over, coke or aceves should’ve been in… once u got to the 4th hitter in the inning, u dont bring one of them in than… thats when u bring in Mo. Girardi fucked everything up, sorry… but where’s Sweet Lou?
these games are taking years off my life
Veras sucks
We need to trade for Huston Street. ASAP.
Why is that your reaction to this game when the root of the problem in this here was leaving the starter in too long?
CC doesn’t take the mound in the 8th if Huston Street is pitching the 8th.
VERAS!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK
