Game 123: We meet again, Mr. Tazawa
ByThe Yankees have fond memories of Junichi Tazawa. Not only did they victimize him for the winning run in the 15th inning a few weeks ago, but they generally hit him around that evening. The game nearly ended an inning earlier, but J.D. Drew was just barely able to snag an Eric Hinske liner. The latter is in the lineup today, hoping to get some similar pitches.
Despite his rough early showings, Tazawa is a pretty solid prospect. You can read Keith Law’s quick take on him here. This was in his first start, against Detroit in the Porcello-Youkilis game. Tazawa has since been pounded by the Rangers for 10 hits and four runs in five innings. So while the stuff might be there, he hasn’t been able to harness it yet. The Yanks would do well to unnerve him early.
Taking the hill for the Yanks is A.J. Burnett. He’s coming off what was actually a pretty good start in Oakland, one poor inning aside. He threw all eight innings, using just 99 pitches along the way. Even better, 66 of them were for strikes. The one inning hurt, because the Yanks couldn’t muster any runs off of Brett Tomko and the vaunted Oakland bullpen, but generally it was up there in terms of his starts. Of course, he did have that one-hit effort against the Sox in the last series.
Johnny Damon‘s out today, and could miss tomorrow, though he’s holding out hope that his knee will be in good enough shape. Eric Hinske slides in for him. He has a career .834 OPS at Fenway Park in 368 career plate appearances.
Lineup:
1. Derek Jeter, SS
2. Nick Swisher, RF
3. Mark Teixeira, 1B
4. Alex Rodriguez, 3B
5. Hideki Matsui, DH
6. Jorge Posada, C
7. Robinson Cano, 2B
8. Eric Hinske, LF
9. Melky Cabrera, CF
And on the mound, number thirty-four, A.J. Burnett.

Just win, baby.
Time to step on the throat!
Love the name.
2-1 in eleven, 4.5 hours…let’s hear yours!
9-3. 3 hours 23 minutes.
6-4, 4:32, 13
10-0 3 hrs 43 minutes. No Lube.
Damn, Buck and McCarver are going to be doing this game.
Atleast Joe West isnt behind the plate again
He just gets to blow check swing calls all day long.
Normally, I’d agree, but I am in the new and horrible position of wishing I could see Buck and McCarver. I moved from NYC to Madison, Wisc., three days ago to go back to grad school. I excitedly flicked on Fox to see the game and … it’s the Dodgers-Cubs. F-me! MLB.tv is blacking it out (national game). So I’m stuck with Sterling and Waldman.
Damn!
To Keith Law, every Red Sox prospect is amazing, and the Yankee prospects are mediocre. Take his comments with a pound of salt.
To a Yankees fan, every media outlet and commentator is in a conspiracy to hate their prospects and love the Red Sox’s.
Cause they are!
And I could give you endless examples as to why that’s true, if you like.
Nah. Keith Law is pretty fair. He at least admits when he’s wrong.
Agreed – KLaw says it like he sees it.
Well, he recently said that Hughes is know better than Buchholz and also said Tazawa is better than Buchholz. While ESPN and some of hte other media members don’t favor the Yanks, KLaw is reasonable.
I’m ready for the Yankees to win!
Don’t quite get why Fox has the Dogers/Cubs game on when I live in Westport CT?
Whoa, that sucks. At leas in Denver, it’s understandable.
That is bullshit.
They may have started there, but they’ll switch over to Yanks/Sox? I don’t know. I live in the midwest and I’m stuck with Jon and Suzyn. I hate the Cubs, I hate Fox, and I hate mlb.tv, at least show the Fox feed on mlb.tv for out of market viewers! No, that makes too much sense to implement.
I just moved to Madison from NY and am experiencing this nonsense for the first time today. I agree with you 100 percent.
Yanks haven’t started yet
Wow, I actually miss Jeannie Zelasko.
No Joe Buck? Well, I’m turning off the TV.
No Joe Buck. That’s a good start.
No Joe Buck!!! Im not watching this game then….
LoHud says that Wakefield will replace Penny in the rotation.
It’s kind of sweet justice that Yankees bounce 2 great amazing free agent signings from the Red Sox rotation
Minus the kind of.
I guess the Red Sox wish they would have found that Justin Smoak type bat for Penny now huh?
Anyone else having trouble with FOX?
No trouble with Fox here in CT on Comcast.
Nope
Nevermind, it’s just my piece of shit cable box.
Well, they actively engage in campaigns of disinformation to mislead the American public, they report on people parroting their own idiotic talking points as though it were news, and they act as though they’re simply reporting facts when they’re really aggressively committing logical fallacies and appeals to emotion in order to scare people into agreeing with them.
So…yeah, I have trouble with them.
ietc
I have trouble with Fox 24/7. It’s Fox …
In Madison, it’s Cubs-Dodgers. Working fine.
i can’t believe the houston area is showing the cubs/dodgers
no one cares!
anyways, i will have to suffer through sterling
i predict yanks win 5-2
It swapped over to the game.
Swish!
Fly ball off the handball court. Very nice.
Yaz was the best at peppering balls off the wall.
-McCarver
But the bandbox in the bronx is an embarassment to baseball
well this is starting off nicely
2 on for alex
Wow, just think about it, last year Drew Storen was pitching in an amateur league called college, and he’s about to be called up to MLB too. This Tazawa is amazing.
no DP A-rod
So, when Joba comes inside and hits someone, he shouldn’t come inside if he doesn’t have the command to avoid plunking guys.
But for Tazawa it’s part of the game. Got it, fox.
man, every out from tazawa is a hard hit ball
good sign, they will fall
The batters are in the shadows and the pitcher is not. That may make it tough for offense.
aaaaah, dammit. a little under it.
Ah man, I hope our balls find holes today because last time we faced him, we crushed him but he got lucky. That’s 2 outs already on well hit balls by A-rod and Jeter.
Nothing there, but they are getting some decent hits…
Damn, we hit em well at least.
All three outs were hit decently.
Runs, plz.
aight, lets hope the yanks can find gaps next inning
I hope we see Enrique Gonzalez today
Pedroia would have looked better making that play.
aight AJ, lets get a GIDP
ah fuck 0-2 hits
The ol’ make Pedroia look good by throwing the same pitch technique.
he’s been eating his lucky charms.
Just watch how lazily Cano gobbled that ball up.
Just watch how lazily Cano gobbled that ball up.
DIVE for that ball!!!
to up his dirt-on-the-uni quotient?
damn it
AJ we need an out here
ah cmon AJ, DP please
nonsense.
It the centerfield camera shitty for everyone, or is it just me? It’s all jumpy, and it’s just that one camera.
It looks like a video game.
Anyone know a site I can stream this game from online right now? MLB.TV doesnt have it, I get the Dodgers game on Fox where I’m at
same here… i want to jump a cliff
we just got lucky
http://www.channelsurfing.net/.....el-tv.html
lets hope it stays for awhile, I don’t know what ESPN live is which is what it says in the corner
against RAB rules
wtf is mccarver talking about?
He is wrong. Yankees weeren’t conceding second to Marinez. Jeter was covering second.
it took him 45 minutes to say Martinez should have gone to 2nd, because the Yanks had no one covering.
He’s right that Cano lined up to throw home, but Robbie had the ball by the time Martinez was rounding first. If Victor tries to go to second, Cano just has to turn and throw the ball to Jeter for the tag.
8 more innings of this to go, too.
I LOVE TEIXEIRA!
good play there tex
REGROUP, JUST 7.5 GAMES
That was off the plate
That one was closer.
oh man.
UGH!!!
damn that freaking wall
Is Hinske for real? He did play LF there right?
nope
Eric Hinske is so bad on defense, it’s not even funny.
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Jeez, Hinske is just brutal out there.
fenway is a treasure of this country. can we stop with the love fest mccarver? thanks
Uh oh, looks like we may have bad AJ today…
Great play Hinske, way to learn from your mistakes.
COME THE FUCK ON!!! ITS FUCKING ORTIZ!! WHAT THE FUCK!!
fuck you Papi! LUCKY bastards…there hits are falling and ours arent and Hinske made a shitty play
Damn that wall
Ok, Ortiz can NOT HIT THE FASTBALL, and we’re gonna hang curveballs? Greeeeeat.
That’s exactly what I was just going to say.
i acutally miss damon in left.
I have SO much confidence in our number 2 starter in the playoffs
what? he matched beckett, remember? remember how he was on fire? i guess not.
i guess you forgot who matched zeros with beckett 2 weeks ago?
the fuck AJ?
cmon AJ, lets mow these guys down
Well, this is dissapointing.
Shirtless douchebags in the stands. What is this, Wrigley?
I don’t understand why we’re starting someone who is bad on defense…
because the other guy (who’s not that much better) has a boo boo
Can we get a left fielder who knows how to play the monster????
whos your choice? im sure hairiston has so much experience here
you can’t deny that hairston is a better athlete and defender
that wasnt the question. he said he wants a LF who knows how to play the monster. and since hairston was a 2B his entire time in the AL, i’ll take a leap of faith and say he doesnt know how to play it either
Hinske’s putting on a clinic on how NOT to play LF in Fenway.
Keep in mind who is pitching for them. Expect a slug fest.
how the hell does ORTIZ SCORE????
Say it with me: UGH.
Hinske is one of our greatest comedians.
throw the fastball
these guys wont do much but watch it go by
Seems like Bay owns the Yanks.
I would love to know his numbers against the Yanks.
.400/.512/.771
So yeah, you’re right. This year anyway.
Wow, I wish I never asked for the #s
Thanks.
Couldn’t do that to Ortiz… please, that’s a joke.
about time AJ, just finish em off next time when you get ahead. Cmon offense, make those balls falls and score a trillion runs again.
Okay – Let’s get those three runs back in this inning, plus a few more.
I’m not exactly sure that Tazawa will be capable of holding this lead.
Whether AJ can avoid giving it back, though . . .
there we go
now lets murder tazawa
Top of the 2nd:
Screaming line drive right to right-field, 1 out
ground ball 2 in” from being a double, then diving play on line drive, 2 out
long fly ball with ellsbury crashing into the dead center field wall, 3 out
i disagree
the yanks will get their runs soon
What the fuck AJ… You wer supposed to be good in Boston
We have been getting absolutely killed with 2-out hits lately (though we’re still winning)
bold prediction: yankees will win this game.
I believe
Burnett sucks!! Not a big game pitcher. Gets unnerved easily.
lets hope this is an unjinx
lol
how do people like this guy manage to show up exactly when yankees have sucked a little, only for an inning.
Isn’t it hilarious to think that everyday there are people like that guy reading the game threads but never commenting until they have something negative to say.
Wait, this is a big game? Are you out of your mind?
posada
this guy has no control
dont swing
Robbie, how about not rolling over, hmm?
Fuck
My
Life
Dear Hinske,
Take notes.
Hey, uh, guys, you do realize that’s not Hinske in LF, right? Right?
STOP GETTING THROWN OUT SECOND!
WTF CANO!!!!!!!!!!! damn, we cant give up outs like that
You’d think by now we’d know how to judge fly balls off the monster while running the bases.
Even if he did run hard out of the box, he’d be fucking out by a mile, McShitinMoutharver.
man
the baseball gods gifted that
McCarver: Cano is lazy.
What the horseshit?
yeah, he said that in so many words.
my favorite was when keith hernandez called him a “styler”
Yankees must lead the league in guys getting thrown out trying to get a double.
So wait, I’m confused…
Was that laziness or overhustling?
McCarver is convinced that it’s due to lack of hustle, although they failed to show Robbie running out of the box.
Stupidity will suffice.
he’s dominican so theres your answer
Jon Sterling is outraged!
dont worry guys, we are going to beat this kid
Great, Hinske… I expect nothing less of a homerun.
there we go wit the lazy dominican tag
#8 and #9 hitters both hitting under .280
what the fuck is this bullshit
sarcasm?
yes
good, because i was about to be engraged.
Bad luck. Balls.
ofcourse, the red sox luck is unmatchable.
holy shit. this is the babip correction from last night. can we borrow some of those runs?
u can tell this aint our game
I’m not giving up that easy. It’s only the second inning. Jeez!
They are crushing balls so far today. I’m confident they’ll win this game.
I thought that when they were doing the same to Brett Tomko. Luckily Rajai Davis doesn’t play for the Red Sox.
damn these lucky ass hard hit outs
i hate line drive outs
This qualifies as muted game, I’m 1.5 innings in and my blood is already boiling from the homerism.
I muted the game halfway through the first Boston inning.
Is it me… or could u just tell that lady holding up that small sign is just a cunt.
Wearing Sox gear?
See you next Tuesday.
WOW mccarver nice job identifying that 4-seam fastball before it was thrown!
fox really gives its audience some inside info…
Bad Defense: Check
Bad baserunning: Check
2nd inning: check
For last night’s game and today’s: Check
They ARE going to hammer this pitcher today. Ugh.
can someone give melky some steroids!?
man, these balls have to drop in gaps soon…
and can u guys believe that he was pitching in the INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE last year? the INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE? wow…what a story.
As an AMATEUR!!!! Can you believe it?
I just hope Burnett hangs in there. The Yankee bats will come around if he does.
burnett looks ok. he’s been a little unlucky.
Does anyone else here wish that Tim McCarver would go to the top of the monster and just jump off?
I’ve fantasied about it
no because it’s not tall enough to guarantee he won’t be able to broadcast anymore.
Dear Mo,
Can we please get some luck on both sides of the ball? Not even good luck, just normal luck. They are got two 2-out hits and our LFers kinda sucks on defense. Our offense is absolutely crushing the ball but they are not falling and we made a bonehead play. So that’s mostly bad luck. Please give us some luck (or at least take away the bad luck) and let us take the lead and then win the game. Thanks!
Love,
Salty.
ps: Dela G wants the same thing
I fucking hate Time Warner. FOX isn’t working at all, and the HD channel is all fucked up.
blessing is disguise?
Hey, guys! Just got back (had to buy a nice suit for the new job!). What’s happened so far? I see it’s 3-0. Small recap, anyone?
Bad luck mostly. AJ struggling but they got 2 2-out hits and the blind squirrel in Gonzalez found a nut. We are absolutely crushing Tazawa like last time but like last last time, they are not falling in.
Eh, it’s still early. I’m not happy watching 8 consecutive balls for Burnett, though. I was cool as long as we didn’t get swept this series, so whatever we make out with is just gravy.
Home run alex gonzalez. Hinske epic misplay off the monster for an ortiz double, couple singles thrown in there.
Gotcha. thanks, Jon. And thanks Salty, as well.
At least Varitek still sucks
that curve ball is fuckin filthy
My god can fox love the Sox anymore? All I hear is them fawning over them.
they can fawn all they’d like over a team 7.5 games back
so much love for a team thats barely holding onto the wild card
haha i know, right?
Who the hell cares about these reports? Seriously
sonavabitch!!!
Alex Gonzalez, AJ?
did alex gonzalez just go yard?
Game over. And stop with the “2nd inning crap.”
its the 2nd fucking inning
Way to go Captain Obvious. And apparently you have trouble reading as well.
maybe i did it intentionally because its the 2nd inning?
I like the addition of the f bomb for emphasis.
helps get the point across
It’s only the second inning and it’s in FENWAY. Anything can happen.
Especially since the team has shown zero ability to comeback in games this season…
I’m not allowed to call you a humongous fucking retarded idiot, because it’s against the guidelines.
Because I’d stomp you into the ground for one you would NEVER have the balls to say that to anyone’s face let alone mine, for one. And two, it woul just show how childish you are that you have to respond that way to a very simple comment. And three… it’s game over.
Oh nos, I’m being threatened on a blog, zOMG.
d00d, I’d kick your fucking ass. Don’t even start, kid.
It’s not a threat. It’s just facts. Go take your nap sweetheart.
:yawn:
Seriously, Gonzalez?!?! So much bad luck
Burnett fucking sucks today.
ALEX GONZALEZ???
holy crap
Anyone for a Ponson-Burnett swap?
No.
1 fucking inch, serious? How do you add luck to the luckiest team in all of sports? You trade for Alex Gonzalez.
Alex Gonzalez????…come on AJ
Seriously, Alex Gonzalez?
Couldn’t AJ have one of these games against the Royals or something? I really wanted to see “oh shit” strikeout AJ today..
great dramatic story about the trade that brought future HOF Alex Gonzalez to Boston.
no he’s getting squeezed? wtf
Problems? GIVE ME HIS LAST FIVE STARTS!!!!
wasnt meant as a response
Burnett could you suck more today?
cmon AJ, today isnt a good day to have a clunker
Yeah, i think that routine stolen base deserves a standing ovation.
Im surprised McCarver didn’t just cum in his pants when Pedroia jogged to first, and now with a stolen base
If you have the opportunity, pop over to the dodgers-cubs game and check out the catch by the left fielder. On the run over the shoulder face plant into the wall, and hung onto the ball. Absolutely amazing.
“Pedroia has a winning look on his face.” lol
That’s not how I would describe his face.
What are Burnett’s numbers on Fox games?
Terrible.
a winning look on his face???
Really?
Haha I know right. The Midget is FOX’s new favorite player
Holy crap, Jeter is like 8 inches taller than Pedroia. That looked hilarious.
Jeter is 6’3″ and Pedroia is listed at 5’9″ (but is really 5’6″) That would make him 7″ taller.
Oh shit. C’mon AJ. Throw some strikes!
cmon AJ
please get outta this
AJ Burnett is a lot like Pettitte–when he is bad he is really awful and you can almost always tell which road you’re going down right away.
That said, he was due for a bad game and while I’m frustrated a little bit I can’t get actually angry given the situation the Yankees are in.
HEY! A CALLED STRIKE!!
DUSTIN PEDRIOA COULD BLOW MY FUCKING DOG
OMG stop it tim mcarver please stop
/shotgun to the head
getting squeezed a bit here
I hope AJ can at least give us 5 innings.
If we give up any more runs this inning, the game’s ovuh. they’ll just get tazawa out of the game and their serious bullpen will probably shut us down. 4-5 runs is do-able, but 7-0 even in the 2nd inning will be almost impossible to come back…
the game’s ovuh.
their bullpen has been our bitch ever since the 0-8 ended
oof
Im turning this shit off.
I could be wrong but it seems (at least since the White Sox series) that we allow a lot of earned runs with 2 outs.
oh ho ho ho ho ho. now I mute these fuckers
embarassing
it’s really not that embarrassing.
Two straight walks and a homer. Stop beating yourself, AJ.
Ouch – but it’s till only the second inning.
Well, I’m checking out for the day. This ain’t worth watching.
Quitter.
You mean…… the game is over???????
But you must be humongously fucking retarded!
Posada is no help
Damn…maybe this time we come back to score like when AJ was up 6-0 against them but the Sox came back? I have a lot of hope if our hits fall in
Yanks are going to win this one 11-9.
wake up and smell tim mccarver’s ass sweat…
it aint happenin.
Because the Sox SP is so good?
No, because it’s 7-0 and their bullpen (excluding some of the scrubs we faced yesterday) are good.
aaaand this sucks
Sorry, but after a late game last night, you should start Molina and a better game would be called, nothing against Posada, but he looks lazy from how he’s been throwing the ball back to Burnett and the pitch calling.
lol, yeah it’s all Posada’s fault. He’s pitching like shit today.
Why is it that people always blame the pitchers, do you know why teams need good catchers? He’s obviously tired, it doesnt effect his pitch calling, but Molina calls a better game.
You mean Molina wouldn’t call fastballs a foot outside or hanging curveballs? WOW!
The sun isn’t yellow, it’s chicken.
How exactly does one call a game lazily?
Looks like he’s just trying to get back to the dugout faster than normal. Trying to get them to not put the ball in play, meanwhile every pitch he calls it’s getting hammered. Granted A.J. has hung a curve or 2, i still don;t agree with the pitches being thrown. Burnett trusts Posada, and what posada’s calling isn’t working.
I guess a better game might have been called but I’m not sure how that would stop AJ from missing his spots so badly
Can you guarantee he would miss his spot with a different pitch? no.
Yes I’m sure if Molina was calling the game AJ Burnett would be painting those corners just like Maddux or Mussina! That’s not how it works.
Fact is AJ has games where he simply cannot control his pitches and this is one of those games. This is about AJ, not the catcher. Period.
Well shit. Just logged on to see how they game was going and it does not look good. Oh well, win tomorrow and that is fine. Guess everyone gets their Saturday back.
Ok guys, have a nice saturday, I’m gonna go do anything else
burnett is a little pussyshit when he pitches @ fenway……..
Well, I’m gonna go drink myself into a stupor and start a fight with some red sox fans. good day to all
hey the inning’s over!
2 out runs are so awesome
yawn. who cares… the division is already won
Alright, now the comeback begins.
Can e get another 20-spot this afternoon? Please?
I would never think I’d ever say this about another human being, but if McCarver walked in front of a car, I could not give a shit.
I can not believe it’s humanly possible to be that fucking stupid.
Never underestimate the talent Fox Sports will sign.
…and have a ridiculously ill job
You’re a tremendous asshole, that’s why you say shit like that. You’re either 15 or in therapy…perhaps both.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
You = http://images.google.com/imgre.....mQf5_oypDA
And you continue to prove my point. It’s people like you that are making RAB worse by the day.
Hope we can get another 20 today
AJ my fantasy team does not thank you for your services today
Cano is so lazy that he started in the outfield so he wouldnt have to run for that groundball.
The curse of Fox Sports Saturday games haunts the Yankees. Somewhere Gammons just sent a tweet to McCarver and Buck that says “@Gammons – xoxoxoxo Love your pro Red Sox stance. They will now win the AL East.”.
So can the game be over now even though it’s the third inning?
Am I allowed to say it!! OMG!! Don’t get angry!
I can’t believe some of you are giving up already. It’s the freaking third inning and it’s FENWAY!!!
OMG!!! Curses!
LOL
Game over
Game over
Keep Burnett away from Fenway.
And more game over.
http://randazza.files.wordpres.....chebag.jpg
Is there something you’re trying to say?
The sun’s not yellow, it’s chicken…right? Awesome.
We’re just giving the Sox and their offense a hope, so when they crash again, it’ll burn more.
I hope you’re right, Salty. Talk about rubbing salt in fresh wounds. They would be demoralized if that were to happen. Our offense is certainly capable.
remember when the sox came back fom 6-0 deficit. we can top that shit right here
YES
Girardi has to seriously think about letting Molina do some of the Burnett catching. They are obviously not in sync most of the time.
I agree. Welcome backk Lanny. Haven’t seen you here in awhile.
how about fucking up austin romine’s development? I here has a MLB-level defensive capabilities!!
so you solve a problem by ignoring it?
because Molina isnt going to be startng in the playoffs
Yeah, Posada obviously needs to stop calling for hanging curveballs.
I realize I’m probably only speaking for myself, but I was curious to see how Mitre pitches on back to back days
this game isnt over
it was over before it even started
/the tank’d
i wish we had some nice scrubs to replace the big men right now…
This game IS NOT OVER.
Nice Swish!
it really doesnt feel that nick swisher is only hitting in the .240s
tazawa has ZERO control
good job swish
omg really?
holy fucking shit thats so fucking hilarious!
HOLY FUCKING SHIT HE HAD NO IDEA
AND HE STILL OBLIGED
AWWW HE WAS ONLY KIDDING HOLY FUCKIN SHIT I JUST FUCKIN SHIT MY PANTSS HE HAD NO IDEA!!!
wow that was hilarious, ken. omg i cant stop laughing.
HOLY CRAP!!! TELL THAT STORY AGAIN!
That story sucked.
Biggest issue today is not the win or loss, but how taxed the bull pen will become if AJ can’t give them 6-7 innings.
I still have a feeling we’ll come back starting in the 5th inning.
So, uh, who swapped the pitchers today?
AJ has been a comnplete bust in the one area he was supposed to be rock silid. His fenway stats were killer, anf this year he is getting slapped around like a 2 dollar whore in that shit box.
He threw four straight curves Alex, you might want to look for it.
yeah that was fucking stupid.
AJ is an absolute fuckin’ JOKE when pitching against the SOX. But for ONE good outing this year, he’s given up 20 fuckin runs in 10 innings in Boston. Thats totally unaccpetable. The only reason we signed him was to beat Boston. His body language is awful in Boston and it looks like he doesnt even care out there.
now that inning wasnt bad luck, we just didnt do well in that one.
what are the yankees hitting on days after scoring 12+ runs they must be hitting like .200
We can definitely win this game, guys. While it may be statistically unlikely, bear in mind, we’re not exactly facing Lester or Beckett. AJ finishes the fifth without anymore runs, we can totally chip away the lead.
Sidebar: Ken Rosenthal and Pedroia double date.
