Yeah, meaning he’s not going to pitch again for several days. He can throw 5 more pitches. At the VERY LEAST you do not bring Coke in again. He’s getting Torre’d.
They’re up 7 runs. You don’t use a member of “The Circle” or whatever Girardi calls his mental crutch.

Man, I know Coke got Ortiz out, but it was unnecessary to pull D-Rob there. He struck out 3 guys and they have a 7 run lead. Even if Ortiz jacks one, it’s still a 4 run lead. Now they’re torching the bullpen for sure again tonight.
Oh well.
This team has shown some serious fight again tonight. You have to like how they get back up again after getting behind. This team has that special feel.

I’m just saying, one day people complain that Mel never pitches, Joe brings him in, and people ask why he didn’t bring in a AAA pitcher. I don’t get it.

I don’t think anyone had a problem with Melancon pitching tonight. The problem is the general trend of using 4 and 5 pitchers for no reason every night. Notice how Boston has given up 13 runs but will have their entire bullpen fresh and available tomorrow. This is sloppy/dumb management our of Girardi.

Chip
His mom called, it was past his bed time
Riddering
I was curious about that too but Girardi probably figured his bat isn’t needed any more and Hairston has better defense.
It doesn’t really seem necessary either way but…
adeel
I think Girardi’s strategy was to use Coke (part of the circle) to get to the point where the “1 run here, 2-runs here” type of offense doesn’t bite them in the $$$ by the time the 9th rolls around…. As long as Melancon is somewhat effective, I expect Bruney or even Clagget if their lead gets bigger.

nah he pitched in a blowout earlier this season. He walked like 3 or 4 dudes, we were getting killed and it was shitty out.

handtius
We’re trying to tire out the sox hitters by walking all of them.
whozat
Just went to look at the pitchfx data for Joba and Smoltz, and it was interesting. The ump was consistent, yes, but he took away a six inch box on the outside corner to righties/inside corner to lefties. So, unless the ball was several inches above the knee and several inches IN from the edge of the plate, it was a ball.
That’s just impossible. It means the slider is basically useless unless you’re trying to backdoor it. No one has to swing at anything heading towards that half of the plate unless it’s thigh high.
Johan Iz My Brohan
So basically Joba pitched a lot better than it looked like on TV?

Yanks dominate the Sox and MLB network talks about how Pedroia plays big. Pathetic.

I’m with you. See below.

And two of those went to the benefit of the Sox. And we still won. Thank you Yankees

Just to let it be known: The angle that MLB Network is taking on the game is that Dustin Pedroia made a great, heads-up play to get Posada thrown-out at home in the 2nd inning.
That’s what they’re going with. Pedroia. Relay throw. 2nd inning.
Holy shit.

NESN post game mentioned the new stadium about 10 times in the first 3 minutes

Heh ESPN’s game recap was about Muhammad Ali…and that’s it. No game recap whatsoever.

as a life long middle-infielder, that play was NOT a headsup play. he took a shot, knowing that nobody else would advance on the play and he had a .0003 chance to get him, so what the hell? why not?
I’ve made that throw a hundred times and it’s worked maybe once or twice (which I guess defies my previously stated odds). Point being, it’s just a shot in the dark that he took, there was nothing cagey or otherwordly about it.
get of this guy’s dick, he’s only 5-6, he can’t be packing enough for ESPN and MLBN
Zack
considering Cano and Swisher were standing on second and first respectively, no one was moving up a base
Zack
it was a heads up play, he knew Posada was trying to score from second. it was limited risk and high reward play
putt
we agree on those points, I think we’re just off on our definitions of “headsup.” or maybe it’s just my bitter hatred of all things red sox that would rather call it a bonehead play on Jorge’s part as opposed to a genius play on Pedroia’s.
Zack
I agree. It shouldnt be the main highlight of the game, and it was more Jorge’s fault for shutting down a gear half way home
putt
Good, I can take you off of my “people to trip and then run away” list now. Next up, Jared from Subway.

Just saw the highlights of the game, and I believe the first 3 homeruns were cheapies that would not of been out at the old stadium.
Mike Pop
Yep. But this means nothing now.
Zack
How the hell was Prince Fielder only fined? That dude needs anger management

so if gaudin aint going monday, who is? not Mitre (please, please, please if have tickets)
Dela G
mitre will go for sure. Gaudin pitched a couple of days ago. He needs rest
BklynJT
Sucks for you, but its not like Gaudin would be any better. Fly ball pitcher in new yankee stadium, no thanks. Anyway, we’ll still win. Poot it in da books.
Mark H
Gaudin pitched yesterday, same as Mitre so they both line up for Monday, maybe Mitre starts, and Gaudin follows him?

I have spent a lot of time researching verizon internet through fios and the cable tv and satellite company options available. Would anyone out there feel that cable could actually be better than Verizon Fios internet? Is just seems that there is no way to compare between the available options based on the pure speed of the network and setop box funtionality for managing your viewing.
