Spring Training Countdown
Just 5 days 'til pitchers and catchers report.Banner Design By
LAST! Damn…I f’d up.
Heh. Technically, that is not a violation of the commenting guidelines. You’re good… for now.
LOL! I thought I may get in trouble, since it eludes to that damnable comment.
Never saw that commercial before. Sweet!
Don’t know if this was said earlier, but now 8 of 11 players for the Yanks in this game are home-grown. Rivera would make it 9.
Untrue. The Yankees never develop players. Ever.
Joba Chamberlain is actually from Japan. He just looks white.
At least Phil Hughes isn’t Chinese.
/oldmeme’d
Only the Red Sox do. Their farm system is beyond comparison
Well that, and you can’t exactly take credit for creating God either.
15-20% of all starting backstops in the league….oops, there I go again.
But but we can ONLY buy players. CASHMAN BURNT TEH FARM DOWN!!!
well exactly… they are homegrown players we bought by signing them after drafting them.
Cashman and the Yankees make me sick.
Oh, they told me pitcher was due up fourth this inning. I guess i’m the asshole for listening to them. Pitcher is in the 2 hole now.
A run or 5 would be nice here
Nah, I’ ready for #500.
whoops, that was a reply to the Saltman
Some insurance runs would be super nice, guys. Please?
Also worried the Yankees won’t have the cojones to demote Hughes if he keeps pitching effectively out of the pen.
Cash had cajones the size of a fucking bowling ball.
Clearly, but it’s one thing to release players who aren’t hurting the team, another to demote a guy who’s clearly been very effective.
I can’t quite figure out why Joe constantly thinks Swisher should be lifted for a defensive replacement while Johnny Damon’s in the game. I understand even less why Swisher should be lifted for Damon.
Nick Swisher was born in 1980.
Johnny Damon was born in 1973.
/nitpick
Hey – that’s ageism! And if Johnny Damon could lift his elbow above his shoulder, or move quickly…or see you from a reasonable distance, he’d totally kick your ass.
IETC
exaaaactly
All the outs have been hard. Chubs is getting lucky.
ANOTHER crushed/well-hit out.
I suppose Hughes can only pitch one more inning today, because the 8th is for Bruney?
Man, now I hope Philly stays in the game long enough to bat.
I hope Phil is the last Yankee pitcher tonight. He needs the innings. He should pitch the 9th even if it’s still a one-run lead.
Mo be damned.
LOL, what a bold suggestion!
But I don’t like the way they’re screwing Hughes too.
One day he’s preparing to start for Andy, then CC, and another he’s backing up Wang or Joba.
The unpredictability is bad for everyone, and he’s supposed to be our future 2nd starter!
You know what’s nice and predictable?
Scranton.
Yup.
It’d be fun/interesting, but you’ll get to see Hughes bat next year in interleague. I’d rather not see him here with only a 1 run lead, even if the Mets have seemed rather punchless.
sarcasm? Don’t want him to pull a Wang…..
can someone explain to me why Damon is in and swisher is out?
Because Joe Morgan says so!
Well, Melky is better at RF than LF. I don’t know though.
id guess it has more to do with buying time on the offensive side of the top of the inning than anything else.
and who else are you going to take out in the double switch?
Do you need the concept of a double switch explained or why they made that particular switch?
there was not even a need for a double switch, just pinch hit for the pitch if and when he comes up your losing a quailty bat by takin swisher out…take out Gardner or melky if you must, but not swisher
How many gidp will Cano hit into tonight?
I’m not sure, but one thing is certain, he’s hitting into them for one reason only:
Just to piss you off.
people complain about jeter and his gidp so why can’t I complain about cano. He has been brutal with the gidp.
Perhaps because Robbie has hit the ball hard, and not just dinky little ground balls that turn into DPs.
I heard Jeter was in the DR with Cano all summer working on GIDP.
IETC
I don’t know how much people “complain” about Jeter’s GIDP. They more tolerate it while appreciating Jeter for his otherwise awesomeness.

Gardner just misses another jack!
man i wish gardner had waited for that curveball to miss…
Thanks for letting Livan fake his way through another inning, guys.
(I know Posada just missed a double and Gardner just missed a homer. So it goes)
Livan has 1 K and he has gotten that outside call to lefties all friggin day
Sure. But Livan is awesome, and the Yankee offense blows.
I’m SO glad we don’t have a mascot.
Some cheerleaders would be nice, though.
First replay of the Castillo pop of the night.
Put that one in the books, Howie.
Was that the first meeting of the year?
I believe so.
Actually, the ball hit the palm of Castillo’s glove. Had he been using two hands, his right hand would have been on the opposite side of the glove, so that extra hand wouldn’t have really helped.
steve phillips is a MORON
HAHAHA PHIL HUGHES AN 8TH INNING GUY?
PLEASE SIT DOWN
There’s a reason he’s on TV and not working as a GM
Clearly, A-Rod needs to be moved to 1B/DH as soon as humanly possible.
well, i’m not saying that itd be the right thing to do for Hughes, but he could be an effective 8th inning pitcher.
in that respect, Phillips isnt wrong.
Side note: the Yankees will be extraordinarily fortunate if both Hughes and Joba turn into worthwhile starting pitchers for an appreciable period of time.
In fact, if the Hughes/Joba/IPK troika produces one effective starter and one effective reliever, that might even count as a win.
hahaha you “graduate” from the rotation to the 8th inning spot.
Just like Phillips graduated from a GM to a TV analyst.
again, he’s not graduating from the rotation into the 8th inning.
he’d graduating from pitching in the 6th or 7th currently to pitching the 8th.
Point is- Phillips is a moron.
i dont think anyone would argue that.
but there is so much else to criticize him for, why pile on for something he actually said that was somewhat accurate?
Please don’t walk Castillo.
Alright, Phil. All the way back now.
Way to squeeze his balls ump!
Pat, is that you?
i hate you all
Heh.
We tease because we love, Pat. We tease because we love.
We don’t love you like that, though, pat. Don’t get any ideas.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
You’re all a bunch of pansy gays.
/IH’d
how can we get livan’s fucking strikezone wtf
cmon phil! we need strikes!
according to gameday 2 of those balls were well in the strikezone
I hate leadoff walks..DP Phil
You want to DP Phil just for walking someone?
no no i meant get a double play lol
hell yes!
What a play all around!
NAILS KRZYZEWSKI.
Wow
Look at Arod!!
that was a beautiful set play.
Suck it, Buster Olney.
Fuck yeah Al!!!!!!!
derek jeter and a-rod straight up money
I still find it so awesome that the Yankees have both Jeets and Nails.
Wow, scary!
Jetes showing the bushleague fistpump. This guy needs to grow up.
David Eckstein would never have done that.
Really. I mean, real athletes don’t get excited.
JEET-AH TO FERST BASE!!1!
The Mets should sign Joe Morgan.
he would be a faster fielder than sheff
I know Phil hasn’t been using it as much out of hte ‘pen, but I hope he’s keeping the cutter sharp.
Unlucky, that was a DP ball.
Cano didn’t hit that.
Can Bruney pitch back to back days?
FROZEN!
Haha is it possible to freeze somebody with 95 mph heat? Cuz Phil just did.
Ah! Good point. -1 for me.
Hahah nooo I was thinking the same thing, Cora looked frozen by that fastball, it was awesomely strange
wow phil huhges for mayor
Phil Hughes is a starting pitcher.
Phil needs to stay in the bullpen.
Think of this bridge to Mo: Phil – 7th, Joba – 8th.
/sarcasm
Way to be, Phil.
Phil Hughes is that man.
hahah cora that big wood thing on your shoulder.. yea thats for trying to hit the ball with.
You da man Phil.
HUGHES YOU DA BOMB IN PHANTOMS, YO!!!!!
Have you actually seen Phantoms? I really want to, just becasue of that line.
I caught about 20 minutes of it on TV once.
It looked appropriately craptacular.
I was worried about Hughes to start that inning. Shows what I know.
Umm…why?
Command looked off.
That one pitch he threw before showed you that he was off, and he shouldn’t start the next inning? Al-righty then.
Perhaps I should have phrased that “Watching Hughes walk Castillo made me worry about his command.” Make more sense?
Okay. Got it. Thought you meant you didn’t want to see Phil come out to throw that innign at all.
Phil Hughes says he’s too good for this bullpen crap.
LOL, Phil pitching sick still >> Mets hitters.
Joe Morgan>>>Phil
Hughes got the flu too?
Yeah, Pete reported it.
So how bout Hughes sitting consistently at 95.. me likey!
I like it too. I also like how his average fastball was >92 when he was starting.
Agreed i wasnt going there in the least.. we heard 94 95 in the minors and i hope its translated to the majors now
I like how literally every human being on the planet would throw the ball faster out of the bullpen than as a starter.
I could be wrong, but I believe when Joel Zumaya was a starting pitcher his fastball topped out at 62 mph.
posada with another terrible call.
caught cora looking for a curve.
PHIL HUGHES IS A STARTING PITCHA!!!!! Seriously, he should be in the rotation in place of Pettitte or Wang. Those two will have to battle it out for the last rotation spot cause Hughes is being wasted in the bullpen.
So you want Joba and Phil to pitch from now until about mid-August, when they reach their respective limits. Then finish out the season with CC, AJ, Andy, Wang, and…umm…Aceves?
No we need to sign Ben Sheets!!
Hell yeah!
I thought he’s not going to be ready for this season?
late August i believe, but who knows
JOBA CHAMBERLAIN IS A STARTING PITCHA!!!! And he will be for the rest of the season. CC, AJ, Wang, Hughes will be our rotation for the playoffs if we make it.
phil hughes has another 100 innings on his limit so unless he is going 8 per start he isnt going to hit it. Even if he was starting right now at most he would get 15-16 starts so if he goes 6 per on average then he hits the limit at the end of the year not mid-August.
I can’t tell if there’s any sarcasm, but I agree he should be in there over Wang
Scranton Wilkes-Barre says hello.
You know, this Hughes kid might be good
Nah. He came up in the Yankee organization. And they don’t develop any good players.
is joe morgan a moron? He’s always been a patient hitter..
Did you just ask if Joe is a moron?
I’m sorry, but perhaps you’re the moron for even asking that.
Cody Ransom? If Jeter doesn’t get on here you have to let Hughes hit, he’s dominating.
And my point is now moot
I hear Hughes is the best hitting pitcher on this team not named CC, or so he claims.
Mike,How about a fan poll as to who is the bigger dumbass..Steve Phillips or Joe Morgan?Slight sarcasm
Lol, it’s funny how Dek hits lefties so well this year.
“starting pitching is the key to a championship team”- Joe Morgan
noooo way???
i thought it was an excellent uniform configuration
8th inning pitchers are teh most important part of championship teams
It’s actually team spirit
I thought it was 8th inning dominance.
Francesa claims its teh pen!
Well that was a waste of using Matsui.
cmon Texy we need a basehit for another run
Jerry Manual with his socks up
He’s a gamer.
I love it how Manuel always jogs out to the mound when changing pitchers.
Walking Tex to get to ARod…interesting.
Yes. Manuel jogs out to the mound to walk Tex.
*shrugs*
Sorry, accidentally replied.
AROD SMASH THAT BALL PLEASE!
That was funny, almost turned an intentional ball into a wild pitch!
I hope JoPo gets hot again soon his #’s are droppin
Cano Redemption, calling it!
Come on Meow, find a hole!!!
You gotta love the Cal League.
http://foxyurl.com/7DM
heh holy shit
Talk about sticking by your guy, 4.2, 13 hits, 11 runs, 11 earned.
He had good stuff tonight. heh
Madre de Dios.
I can’t wait for Cano to NOT hit into a DP after ARod is walked.
man a-rod should’ve mashed that pitch
if i were green i wwould just walk arod and go after cano
Deposit this in the stands A-Rod.
wow that was a dirty pitch on 3-1
WOW- the Mets have more hits than the Yankees. CRAZY!!!!
But we’ve hit the ball ridiculously hard today, they haven’t.
Ok they hit it hard but at the Mets gloves! So it is still not a hit.
What are the odds that Cano does anything productive?
50/50?
33%
10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 t0 1
if his career with the bases loaded tells us antyting small
you knew he wasn’t gonna throw arod a fastball there.
Look how happy he looks to walk there
Fuck, Cano has absolutely smoked everything tonight to no avail.
man awesome at-bat arod
bases loaded for the new captain double play
Typical A-Rod: taking the walk to pass the baton.
Since Robbie can’t hit into a DP, he’ll get a base hit.
Hate to point out, but that would have been another one…
well a least cano cant hit into a double play now but DAMMIT ROBBIE YOU’RE DUE, COME THRU WITH A HIT HERE!
ARod looked way to happy to take a walk there.
/Idiots
IETC
IT”S A CHEERDOWN!
It is amazing that there are so many Yankees fans there that the Let’s Go Yankees cheer resounds.
I like A-rod taking balls (even if they are intentional at times)
Law of averages requires Cano to get a hit here right?
I’d really like to see a Hughes demotion, although he’s pitched well. It’s clear the Yankees aren’t going to replace Pettitte or Wang, so he needs to be taking the ball every fifth day. He can pitch out of the pen later in the year, if need be.
Cano hits the ball hard again, right at an infielder. Argh.
Hughes should go down to AAA, like you said. Then come up in mid-August to take Joba’s spot in the rotation.
Yup.
agreed
DAMN IT, ANOTHER HARD HIT BALL RIGHT TO CASTILLO BY CANO
Tough luck for Cano tonight
Stop hitting the ball so hard!
Ugh. He hit it hard, though.
robbie has no luck today..
Typical. I’m sure Cano apologists will once again say “he hit it hard”.
Are you saying he didn’t?
Yes, he hit it hard – I’m just tired of watching the same results over and over from this guy. He needs to be dropped in the order.
Yeah, he really needs to increase his babip by hitting some bloopers towards the bottom of the order.
Well, he did…didn’t he?
These guys aren’t as good as you at hitting the ball hard, and making sure the guys in the field don’t make good plays.
he did
Just horrible luck for Cano. He’s been scorching the ball but it just happens to go right at people. That’s variance for you.
People are gonna bitch and cry but he smacked it again right at somebody.
Robinson Cano: hit ‘em where they am.
ICWUDT
i hate saying players aren’t clutch but….Cano is pushing it…
Lucky we had 2 outs or else another DP was in order.
what is this that i’m hearing about how the phillies want ti trade for wang?
Sure! I’m sure CC would love to get some Philly Cheesesteaks in return.
no on the espn insider, it says they want wang. is it likely they trade him?
Only if they give us John Mayberry JR’s fake dad.
Heh. We probably already have him.
Philly LOVES the Wang.
you homophobic bastard!
That might work out well for both team. Phils have a decent SS prospect.
Tex and Arod might not see another strike for the rest of the season.
Yes, because every ball Robbie Cano hits for the rest of the year will continue to be hit right at someone.
(rolls eyes)
No, hopefully he starts making them pay. Or Posada bats 5th where he should be batting. Hey I LOVE Cano but Ive been saying for a while now he should not be hitting 5th, besides the fact he has by far the lowest OBP of all the regulars.
Luis Castillo is a Robinson Cano hater.
who would we get back for him?
The Flyers PA announcer.
Don’t hit Jorge in the balls, Brian.
Over/Under on Mo blowing it.
Can you have an over/under on that?
/gamblingphraseFAIL
How would one set an over/under on something like that. I don’t think that’s how O/U works.
Depends on whether it is tied.b
How would you blow a save in a tie ball game?
Sorry my bad
People enjoy watching this type of baseball more? Where you have to keep switching people and taking pitchers out so they don’t have to hit? This shit sucks.
goddammet bruney
At some point Cano has to go on a 9 – 12 bases loaded run, right? How can his average be so poor with the bases drunk? It seems to be a case of bad luck lately, that can’t last forever.
You would think. However, it’s been this way from 2005 through the present.
I read ya, I’m just trying to keep hope alive, yaknow, put the good vibes out there..
Nice way to start the inning.
The ump was not calling a strike. That last one was right there.
Why did I think the bases were loaded when A-Rod walked? Me fail.
Really dislike this move to bring Bruney in. Hughes only threw 16 pitches…
Well, they pinch hit for him to try and get some runs. Didn’t work out.
But if he’s going to be a 1 inning (~20-30 pitch) reliever, he should be starting in Scranton.
ugh lets not hand them the game please
Did ESPN just have a BABIP segment? Which Joe Morgan read?
Well, the words “batting average” are in it, so I’m sure it didn’t kill him too much.
Nah, that was actually Bill Fremp.
/FJM’ed.
(golf clap)
*bows*
Bruney,
Please throw strikes. Thanks.
cmon bruney, lets get a DP
Why is Aceves warming instead of Rivera?
Ill admit this is straight up 2nd guessing, but couldnt have Hughes just SAC bunted and stay in the game???? I know Bruney is the “8th inning guy” but Hughes was fucking throwing peas tonight.
Either way lets hope Bruney gets out of this.
Aceves? Are we really going to have to go through this again?
Unlike the Red Sox, the Mets currently have two (2) major league hitters in their lineup.
Or incase Bruney gives up a run
Hey great idea lets walk the lead-off batter!!!
And another!
Why does Cano need to bat 5th? At what point is he moved? Yes, he hit a couple of balls hard tonight. However, he also insists on letting a pitcher that is having trouble throwing strikes off the ropes far too often.
There is no incentive to pitch to Teixeira or A-Rod with Cano perfectly willing to get himself out behind them.
Thank you, Gary. That was out of the zone.
bruney that was money to sheff!
cmon don’t try and walk TATIS
put it in the damn zone!
tatis couldn’t even catch up!
attaboy
jesus bruney
more strikes, less balls
Bruney’s stache has a counteractive effect.
Mo please? It’d be a 4 out save, Joe.
/rolls eyes
Oh wait, nevermind. Whatever. He should be in next anyway.
So he would only need to get 2 outs in the 9th.
not a hard decision you would think, especially with a day off tomorrow.
I thought the yankees got rid of Veras
Is there anything more frustrating than relievers walking guys?
fucking throw strikes
The post-DL Bruney makes me nervous, he’s back to his old iffy command again.
Wondering if he’s trying to throw it through a wall to show everyone that he’s healthy. He does tend to fall into that trap from time to time.
Come on, Bruney. Really?
Memo to all men: Growing Porn stache like Bruney does not make you better. It curses you.
Best porn stache ever, Adam Morrison.
The only thing Adam Morrison ever did that was the “best ______ ever” was “Best postgame cry ever”.
Actually, there were still a couple of ticks left on the game clock.
I dunno, I say the ‘stache is batting .500. See: Giambi 2008
So far in his return from the DL Bruney hasnt exactly grabbed the 8th inning role by the throat.
He’s thrown 3.7 innings, giving up 1H, 1R, and 4 Ks (plus 4BB). That’s very good for an 8th inning guy.
All those are good numbers, except for that pesky “more walks than innings” thing.
we need a DP badly
really bad. We got the effing rookie up
throw him 3 fastballs, and he’ll swing and miss 3 times
And Martinez whiffs on a pitch at the neck. Melky-esque.
Just uno maas out, then it’s mo time
MUchos gracias Bruney.
throw the ball over the plate please…
Bruney,
How about you get two more outs without allowing any runs to score, so K-Rod can’t say “Blowing that lead couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.”
Am I the only one who hears BOW CHICA WOW WOW every time they show Bruney and his ‘stache?
and Bruney says, “how come everyone forgot my biggest flaw has always been my insatiable desire to walk a ton of people?”
Uh-oh cmon now Bruney…Double PLay please!
WHO CALLED THAT STRIKE OUT BABY!
Axl, is that you?
Drew, are you wearing pants?
joe morgan?
you guys are ice cold. i love it
Whew, one more, Bruney.
Or…go for #500, Mo!
Who will defend K-Rod’s honor?! WHO?!!
But I thought Jorge called an awful game and couldn’t make an adjustment like that mid-game.
come on mo!
Fernando Martinez is a lot like Dustin Pedroia. Except Martinez can’t hit the high OUTSIDE fastball.
Bruney making Mo’s job a little harder since his return from the DL.
Why does it seem that Martinez is up at big opportunities in this game??
And then strikes out.
Good. High leverage situation and he goes to Mo.
Exiiiiiit liiiiiiiiiight
I can’t ever complain about Mariano entering a game, but that’s twice that Girardi has changed pitchers to face . . . Omir Santos.
Girardi has said he only wants to use Mo for 4 outs. It just happened that Santos was up the second time with two outs in the 8th.
MO!
I love the fact that Rivera just trotted out of the CitiField bullpen, which is appropriately called “The Mo’s Zone”.
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your bat tight…
Exit light
Enter night
Say your prayers
Off to never never land.
Since the Mets refuse to play it.
what wagner coming in
Oh God didn’t Santos get that big homer off Paps?
lol
Mariano Rivera >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Michael Flatley, Lord of the Dance
This is not the bandbox of bandboxes, Fenway Park.
Yes, but Fenway does not equal Citi Field in terms of “hitter friendly parks.”
I hope.
OH! And Paps does not equal Mo in terms of closers.
if I have to hear about santos on wfan all night again I might puke lets go mo
Mo’s going with the rugged look tonight, George must be rolling in his hyperbolic chamber.
H-Y-P-E-R-B-A-R-I-C
May I have the language of origin, please?
No, he has a chamber that he sits in to make outrageous exaggerations.
I did appreciate the fact that the typo was also humorous in it’s own right, though.
I’d like a hyperbolic chamber, but I hear they cost 2 zillion dollars.
if that’s the word you wanted, ietc
man mariano is not getting any close calls
Breath….breath.
oh my god that foul ball made my heart stop
For some reason this ab by Santos is making me nervous.
Nevermind.
Woooooooooooooow my heart kinda skipped a beat there.
same here bro
go in pls
thanks
Bust him in!
MARIANO WITH THA CUTTAH
Check yo self foo!
Mo’s cutter >> Omir Santos.
When did Omir Santos turn into a halfway decent big leaguer?
He’s got that Trenton Thunder so you can’t knock him that much
Trenton Thunder pedigree
Sam fail
Thank you Mo.
ump called that before it even hit posada’s glove. lol
so did I
unfortunately, you don’t count!
Santos really shaking his head? Come on, man. You’re a nobody, he’s Mariano Rivera. Swing the bat.
Beautiful
Yeah lets go Mo
as my dad use to say “Sit your ass down bitch! You’ve been served.”
your dad is awesome
Who’s your dad, Eric Cartman?
my ma wouldn’t take that shit. heh
Mariano Rivera is good at baseball.
Comment of the night!
Clever…very clever…almost TOO clever. PEDs?
Mo is love!
Yes, we finally get that call Livan got all day (and his were worse)
That one made me come off my chair with a fist pump. I’ll take the fine.
Too funny
MY NAME IS MARIANO RIVERA, AND I GET BUCKETS
Mo To Santos: “I ain’t Papelbon bitch”
That was clearly a strike. If the ump didn’t call that, Girardi would no longer be in this ball game.
LOL PeteAbe: How do you figure Wang is doing right now? He might change little Justin’s name to Mo.
Mo Wang. Now that’s a name.
IETC!!!
Yes, let the hate flow.
What are they chanting? Sounds more than just “Yankee suck”.
HOLY SHEET THOSE ARE THE MUTTS!
God, I love the Mets some times.
Wait! How do you catch the ball again?
Popups are K-Rod’s kryptonite.
specifically if hit against the yankees
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA THE METS ARE SO AWESOME
There are times when I love the Mets.
LOL, even his own teammates hate K-Rod.
that’s Cora’s ball
Heh. Robinson Cano smokes the ball all night long and makes nothing but outs. Jorge Posada breaks his bat into a soft popup and he’s standing on first base.
Baseball is a cruel, cruel bitch of a game.
Mo steps on foul lines. On purpose.
I guess it would piss posada off alot to be pinch run for by cervelli
welp nevermind that then.
At least Jon miller says “rodriguez” the right way
Felipe Alou used to refer to him as “Yan Meell-air” for that reason.
ATTABOY MELKMAN! GREAT HUSTLE!
was that in response to the SB or beating out the DP? My DirecTV is delayed and I’m trying to figure out by how much?
swish looks so bored when he’s not playing baseball. someone get him a tweeter account
http://twitter.com/nickswisher
http://twitter.com/nickswisher
More undeserved Gold Glove, Jeter or Wright? I know I’m biased, but I think Wright is severely overrated defensively…
Jeter, though he’s actually fielding quite well this year.
Is it just me or would running on K-Rod be absolutely easy?
Melky sure thinks so.
Uh oh, Joe’s about to go on his anti-Moneyball rant
Wow, a writer for the chi tribune suggests the cubs waive big zeke. Wow. Just wow.
melkman again with the hustle!
How is getting caught stealing not a bad play? It’s making an out that you didn’t “have” to make.
It was in context, saying Joe had a high SB rate.
It;s like saying when Pujols strikes out its a bad play
“Putting pressure on the defense.”
Even Brett Gardner gets caught, though. Getting caught doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t have gone.
That steal by Melky was so going through the motions.
Well, Santos made that play pretty close. If Gardner were the one running, he’d be standing on second eating a sandwich by the time the throw got there.
Lazy Dominicans…
When the Yankees were slumping a little bit there a week or so ago, the games were much shorter…nice to see them 3 hrs or longer recently
its because its on ESPN
this game was going to 10pm regardless, knowing how they roll with commercials
well 10 at least, it started at 8:07 or so
Unmanageable 3 hrs…love ‘em.
let’s go damon!
Alright less go Johnny you got 2 of the fastest guys on the team on base. Lets blow this bitch open.
Just cause you’re hung like a moose doesn’t mean you gotta do porn!
-Kumar’d
Mo will take K-Rod deep.
Line drive over Castillo’s head, plating 2.
But I’ll take the walk…
Wow! The Yankees have been terribly unlucky tonight.
damn that was a nice play by reed
if it was sheffield that plates a run for sure
How bad has the Yankees luck been today?
A few more runs, please?
our guys are hitting the ball hard but right at them..
LOL, is this a trick?
Yes
Please let Mariano get a hit off of that douche K-Rod.
haha this is funny, mariano could bat again
That would be awesome – Gameday says that Mo has two career at-bats.
Fuckin, a no way sheff gets to that. We’ve been destroying the ball all night to no avail.
sell it cervelli
wow i cannot believe they are pitching to jeter!
Is Jerry Manuel really this retarded?
I have to admit that Girardi taking Rivera out would demonstrate some serious stones.
Mo going yard baby.
OK, why not IBB right away?
lol at the mets
I think that first strike was a mistake. It was supposed to be further off the plate.
We seriously have crushed a lot of balls tonight, though right at people
Jeter should have swung at that first pitch
If they pinch-hit for Mariano . . .
Also, Phillips said “I want Rivera out of there.” No shit, genius?
And will Mo bat for the third time in his career?
odds mO HITS A GRAND SALM?
Rivera: 500 saves F*** that S*** I just hit a grand slam against K-Rod.
Oh, please walk in a run.
Wait, I’m feeling faint. Joe Morgan and I agree on something.
Head…spinning.
Don’t like…this…
[passes out]
NL baseball is an absolute joke. I hate this novelty, cartoon baseball.
Get a damn DH.
Mo has more plate discipline than Cano!! LOL
Sad, but very true. See, Robbie, it’s OK to take some pitches with the bases loaded. Or in general.
Wow, Mo. What an at-bat.
football is sooooooo much better than baseball….lol buncha idiots
swing you doofus
swing!
Let Mo swing!
So, is this an argument for not putting your best pitcher in in the 8th inning?
If Krod throws a slider or changeup this will be hilarious.
He didn’t just swing, he swung? WTF?
Please walk this in. PLEASE
AHAHAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
MO !!!!!!
Mo owns K-Rod.
HAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
fear the mo!
LOL!
Mariano Rivera is the greatest human being on the planet.
Let’s clone Mo 25 times, we would win every world series there is.
MO IS SO FUCKING CLUTCH
HOLY FUCK!!!!! MO IS DA BEST!!!
Beautiful.
I wonder if that was out of respect.
THAT IS THE GREATEST THING IVE EVER SEEN!
YES
LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Mo>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>K-Rod!!!!
I hope Cano was paying attention to that at-bat. LMFAO.
He was watching all right, and laughing.
Whether he learned anything, though, is questionable.
FEAR the RIVERA
How awesome is that!?!? That alone is worth having interleague play for.
I love the Mets
K-ROD walks Mo……
He is pathetic just pathetic
WOW
On the up side Mo has an RBI and an OBP of .333!!!
His career is .333. His season is an unsustainable .500!
Now THAT is high comedy!
holy shit that was awesome
Bwahahah!
OH MY MO!!!
RBI for Mo!!!
The Yankee fans are taking over Citi Field I love it !!!!!
over 30 years of watching baseball and now i have seen everything!!!!!
CLUTCH.
Are we sure Mo can’t bat? First, he hit a liner to center and now he has a great eye, fouls off a pitch, and walks!!!!
This whole sequence by K-Rod is why anyone who even suggests that he is better than Mo is out of their mind. He is rattled and doesn’t know what to do.
Wow, that’s all I can say.
He is god !!!
mo is the new colonel clutch!
Wow……..K-Rod is Pathetic.
That…was…AWESOME!
That was definitely not a swing the bat didn’t even leave his back.
