Jake K. says:

We should pinch hit CC for Cano. I’m not sure if I’m kidding.

Yanks21 says:

Then once he gets a hit put a PR in… cause CC wont make it 2nd :)

 
rbizzler says:

sooooooooo wrong, but i love it.

 
 
Mike bk says:

everyone in here needs to give AJ his props for keeping them down after the 1st. does he get the 7th?

Raf says:

start the inning. DRob and a lefty depending on the matchups warming.

 
scooter says:

+27

And give it up for the Yankee hitters for remaining patient with Lackey

 
 
HolyGhostClaw says:

Dear AJ,

Props,

Love,
HGC

PS – Props!

 
 

The 2009 Yankees >>>>>>>>>>>>>> All you idiots who kept doubting in the clear and consistent face of mountains of evidence of greatness

The 2009 Yankees >>>>>>>>>>>>>> All you idiots who kept doubting in the clear and consistent face of mountains of evidence of greatness

People NEED to see this.
Funny a couple people shut up. Except for charlespoet who acknowledged him being wrong.

 
Lefty says:

YESSS LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO!!!!! ME AND MY BROTHER ARE OUTSIDE YELLING AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS IN OUR FIRE ESCAPE WITH EVERYONE ELSE ON MY BLOCK WITH AIRHORNS AND SETTING OFF CAR ALARMS!!!!! FUCKING INSANE!!!!

 
Camilo Gerardo - your inception? fuck perception, go with what makes sense says:

are people still doubting you… and the Yankees?

Lefty says:

My man TJSC, where is your confidence level at? Mines is at 28, NO DOUBT!!!

 
 
 
 

BRAZILIAN YANKEE WHERE YOU AT?!

Mike bk says:

he will show up if cano or swish screw up.

 
Sam P. says:

He went out for Hoss avocados, I think.

 
 
rbizzler says:

Robbie will rip right here. He is due just like the two guys before him.

scooter says:

Way to call it

Robbie Cano, dontcha know

Keep it going, Swish

 
 
Drew says:

Melky started this rally.

Just sayin. ;)

 
Riddering says:

Melky is the balls.

 
 

Forgive them, Mo, they know not what they say.

 
hutch says:

Can Cano get a moment…that’s the question!

Get us some lead!

 
Riddering says:

Isn’t it nice that the Yankees have 27 outs rather than the 12-18 some fans wanted?

12?

They threw in the towel after THREE.

THREE OUTS.

rbizzler says:

Actually, it was after zero outs where the manic crowd wanted Burnett yanked.

 
 
 
 
Stadium Garlic Fries says:

lets just break it open Robbie..no pressure..

 
TJ says:

That was amazing.

Mo, forgive me for doubting.

You are forgiven. Don’t do that shit ever again.

 
 
Jobamania says:

Gotta give a HUGE A+ to teix and matsui, but we cannot forget AJ. He had nothing earlier but he settled down and really shut them down from that point on. Something he hasnt done all year. Great job AJ.

 
 
Mike Pop says:

Stick with A.J. batter by batter?

 
charlespoet says:

Officially will never doubt the Yankees again.

I’ve heard people say that before, and then go back on their word.

Don’t disappoint me, buddy. I’m counting on you.

 
 
 
Ant says:

Why would anyone ever doubt? seriously

 
AdamParker says:

Should have kept that uber-thread alive!

 
byron says:

i can Feel the thundersticks deflating

 
nathan says:

the reverse Grady Little moment

 

Are they FUCKING showing ONE bad strike? FU Fox.

 
Souter Fell says:
 
SamVa says:

Please let the next comment I hear be “Robbie Cano Dont-cha-no”

SamVa says:

wow.. timed that one pretty well..

 
 
Mike bk says:

CANO COMES TO PLAY

 
Drew says:

IM SO FUCKING HAPPY

 
AdamParker says:

Robbie Cano, dont you know?!

 
Jobamania says:

HELL YEAH, AJ CAN GET THE WIN NOW

 
Will says:

Yes, FOX, let’s go back to that pitch to Posada where your pitch track is clearly wrong.

 
Dela G says:

ROBBIE CANO!!

YES!!

6-4 !!!

HOLY SHIT!!!

 

CANOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
 
YankeeScribe says:

CANOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

 
 
Mike Pop says:

Re-donkulous!

No game 6 for you!

 
Yankeefan91 Arod Fan says:

Just Came Back From The Movies And Came Back In time for da comeback and yesssssssssssss cano thats what im talking about babiiiiiiiiiii.

rbizzler says:

the movies, really?

 
 
Will says:

Holy shit, 6 runs with 2 outs?

 
Stadium Garlic Fries says:
 
southernyankeefan says:

Never ever count this team out

 
 
Souter Fell says:
 
NYTraveller says:

Triple machine, Robby Cano doncha know!

 

ROBBIE CANO WITH RUNNERS IN SCORING POSITION.

ALL YOUR BULLSHIT DEFEATIST NARRATIVES ARE FLAWED, HATERS.

 
BigBlueAL says:
 

Holy shit I fucking love this team.

 
yankees=warriors says:

LOL, that all happened in a hurry!
Shut those Fox idiots up~

 
Brian says:

Tex and Cano stepping up in HUGE ways!!!!! Yankees lead!!!!!!!!!

 
Brazilian Yankee says:

I believe in miracles.

AdamParker says:
 
 
Drew says:

not a miracle. But I’ll take what I can get from you.

Yay!

 
Salty Buggah says:
 

It’s not a miracle. We’re just good. You can’t keep a good team down for long. I tried to tell you, but you wouldn’t listen.

Smarten up, Nas.

 
 
Riddering says:

HOLY SHIT.

I just came.

It’s not my baby.

Riddering says:

That’s what you said the last three times.

 
 
 
Jobamania says:

scioscia looks RED and embarassed to hell

 
nathan says:

Quick, do you goto the bullpen

i think we have maxed out on the AJ genie

 
Mike bk says:

AJ-Hughes-Mo, that’s the only people who should be in this game.

 
Evil Empire says:

Holy shitballs MATSUI MADE IT FROM FIRST??!?!!!!!

6 run inning SO FAR. What a special, special team. I never doubted this shit would happen but I still can’t believe it.

 
TJ says:
 
Dela G says:
 
Ivan says:

OMG!!!!!! I FUCKING LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!

 
nathan says:

This is the greatest manager of all time’s Grady Little moment

Mike bk says:

i said that when he was leaving lackey in for damon, but turns out it was taking him out for teix.

 
 
Will says:

Good thing Posada slipped the ump a c-note for that ball 4, huh? :-D

 
byron says:

everyone needs to give matsui an extra pound for running on a total of 1/2 a knee

 
Mike Pop says:

I love the doubters!

 
Stadium Garlic Fries says:

I have seen everything in my life..including Matsui scoring on from first..

 
Eirias says:

ALL the fuckers who doubted, FUCK yourselves.

Pardon my French…

 

A hti from Swisher here would be fantastic.

 
Salty Buggah says:

YEEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!

 
Yanks21 says:

Freaking Cano… you finally made it!

Swisher equals inning over :)

 
southernyankeefan says:

I can’t wait to read the halos heavan comments.

NYTraveller says:

Wanna bet the ball 4 call for Posade becomes further evidence of an east coast/media/baseball powers that be/evil empire/we’re a second choice team inmur own town to the f-ing Dodgers boo hoo conspiracy?

 
 
Mike says:

I can’t believe A.J. might get a win after how things starter.

 
Kristen says:

Cano gives the Yankees the lead on his birthday – quite the bday gift!

 
charlespoet says:

Did Mike Scoscia just turn into Grady LIttle with that pitching change?

scooter says:

Grady was famous for the LACK of a certain pitching change

Here’s something to think about – do you go right to Hughes and Mo here?

 
 
hutch says:

Keep it going Swish…keep it going

 
BigBlueAL says:

Now for the Joe Girardi bullpen management…..

We can only hope. Fewest runs allowed in the playoffs.

http://www.theyankeeuniverse.com/?p=8631

 
 
AdamParker says:
 

Hughes and Mo, RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

Dela G says:

wait what? there are still 3 more frames for the angels to bat, unless you meant Aj, hughes, mo

Mike bk says:

AJ gets 1, hughes for 4, mo for 4 works for me.

 
RobC says:

yeah Mo needs to be ready for the 8th
there are plenty of days off

 
 
Mike bk says:

why is Joba up…no one but hughes or mo relieves AJ tonight…Joba is too unpredictable.

 
 
danny says:

THE NINJA IS BACK!

 
Drew says:

Thats aight Swish! we got you holmes

 
Dela G says:

holy shit i am so fucking happy

TSJC is such a fucking hoss and always right

All I did was see the truth and accept it. Because 2009 is not 2004, no matter how much some dour, sad, pathetic losers seem to want to make it in their tortured, twisted, fucked up minds.

 
 
Souter Fell says:

Alright, let’s get this done

 
Jobamania says:

Angels fans will say: ump blowing the strike call gives yankees the game. i already know it

Raf says:

Halosheaven must be on fire right now about that

Jobamania says:

except it wasnt a blown call, it was borderline and a yankee finalllllllllllly got a call. AJ didnt get anything all night, and damon got called out at first when he was safe.

 
 
 
Brazilian Yankee says:

Swisher getting a hit was too much for the Baseball Gods to allow. But I’ll take that rally.

Steve H says:

Really, you’re a Yankee fan?

 
 
hutch says:

9 outs away … start the countdown

 
Raf says:

id rather see DRob but i have confidence in Joba. get this done!

 
crapulent aka I said good day sir says:
 
Evil Empire says:

Y’know I’m just glad we could end John Lackey’s career with the Angels on a high note.

 
Doug says:

Hey guys Hideki sure used his head there amirite

Guys?

Guys?

 
dkidd says:
 
Ant says:
 
Jake H says:

Do you go Burnett until a runner on?

Yankee1010 says:

I had the same thought. Hughes and D-Rob need to be up before him.

 
 

That might’ve been strike three to Posada but NO WAY Molina gets that call. Molina gets called strike three on that one. I’m convinced of that.

 
RobC says:

Time for Mo to start a general warm-up and stretch a little

 
Willy says:

I was kind of pissed that you started a new thread after how good the last one was. I no longer feel that way.

 

So, Brazilian Yankee, where you at?

/second time

Steve H says:

Banging his thundersticks?

 
 
dkidd says:

donnie moore called, he wants his ability to protect a lead back

too soon?

 

Stupid Swisher!!!! This team can’t bring runners in!!!

/
Brazilian Yankee’d

 
Will says:

Bring in CC, ala Randy Johnson in game 7 ‘01.

 
Tony says:
Drew says:

nah Melky started.

 
 
RollingWave says:

Sucks to be the guy that made outs twice in one inning.

 
Stadium Garlic Fries says:

how does shit tacos taste mr.scoscia?

 
Nels says:

NO JOBA PLEASE!!!

Chris B says:

I’m praying Girardi doesn’t screw this game up.

 
 
mustang says:

I must admit they even shock me tonight this team is unbelievable.

 
Mouch "Half Man Half Couch" says:

King Leonidas would of cut my head off for not believing but I would of deserved it.
This is SPARTA !!!!!

 
Chris B says:

Why does it look like Joba is coming in? Please tell me no.

crapulent aka I said good day sir says:

He’ll get pulled the moment he looks off.

 
 
Esteban says:

The Yankees WILL NOT be stopped

 
SS says:

Can we have Mo pitch a 9 out save?

You don’t trust Hughes?

SS says:

I trust Mo more.

Doh, AJ still in.

 
 
 
trueblue says:

Where do I sign up to eat some Cano Crow???

 
JMK aka The Overshare says:

I’ll admit I had some tiny doubts before the top of the 7th. Lackey was rolling, our ABs were terrible and it seemed like a big hole. Even though I never expressed my concerns here, I want to apologize for even thinking it. I would like to thank Drew, TSJC and the rest of you who unequivocally knew we had this shit.

I will do 10000 Mosanna’s in the highest as penance.

trueblue says:

I’m very suprised he got rattled that easy

 
 
 
Brazilian Yankee says:

Is it AJ back for the 7th or Joba? Who’s due up?

Dela G says:

there you are

i knew you’d be back…

 

Hahaha. Like nothing happened.

Raf says:

“oh hey did you guys see that”
lol

 
 
Doug says:

Here he is! All acting like nothing really happened.

 
 
 
nathan says:

Lets goto Hughes.. dont BS

 
Mike Pop says:

Not sure I love this Joba move.

I’m sure I don’t, but you know he’ll have a short leash.

 
 
ed-pro says:

G-D for ten outs, anyone?

 
Raf says:

5 outs from Mo, 6?

 
Jobamania says:

gotta give joba the benefit of the doubt guys. He thrives off energy and this is a LOT OF ENERGY.

 
scooter says:

It’s AJ – but I assume there’s Hughes and Joba getting warm in the pen

 
The Three Amigos says:

OH BABY! Joba better be throwing that fire…. I cant believe Robertson isnt in right now, but it’s all good.

The Three Amigos says:

Too soon I guess… Lets go AJ

 
 
nathan says:

PLease either Hughes or AJ

 
Ant says:

I honestly never doubted because this team is RIDICULOUS!

 
Stadium Garlic Fries says:

irony, firs two games in playoffs when Burnett pitched gem he didn’t get decision..tonight he will get his first win

Mike bk says:

minnesota was far from a gem, but game 2 alcs was excellent.

 
 
Ant says:

Hughes and Mo cant get 9 outs???

 
 
mustang says:

This team is so good they have Brazilian Yankee saying positive things read above.

 
Yanks21 says:

AJ = Short leash…

 
Dela G says:

good to see AJ is there

 
Drew says:

0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 6.

Yepp. Sounds like them damn Yankees!

 
David A says:

No… AJ is going back out…

 
Jobamania says:

AJ still in, he deserves the win. He really battled and kept us in the game when he had nothing going his way. Gotta give him a HUGE bowdown.

 
Raf says:

ill go with what Mike said above, AJ to Hughes to Mo. 4 outs from each of the last two

 
 
putt says:

“Why do you build me up baby, just to let me down?” How apropros…

 
Will says:

Good thing they brought in Gaudin with 0 outs in the 1st, huh?

Exactly.

Some people love jumping off bridges, I guess.

 
 

AJ to Hughes to Mo to PHILLY BABY!!!!!

 
dkidd says:

6 runs with 2 outs

insanity

 
southernyankeefan says:

I love how the team scored all those runs without a homer.

 
TJ says:
 
Dela G says:

ok, can we finally get mathis out here?

Doug says:

You can’t let Jeff Mathis beat you!!

 
 
Mike bk says:

seriously a marte sighting?

scooter says:

I am scratching my head

Mathis – who is sucky otherwise – is 3-3 off Burnett

You go for the W here with Hughes and Mo

I can’t imagine messing with Marte and Joba here

 

Outside of that single Kubel-Mauer appearance, Marte’s done exactly what he’s supposed to do. Get out lefties.

He’s fine.

 
 
Evil Empire says:

I officially am ok with Burnett starting off this inning.

Evil Empire says:

I am officially a stupid asshole.

 
 
adeel says:

OPEN LETTER TO ANGELS FANS:

U knew soscia taking lackey out was a mistake.. but you still say he’s a great manager.
U knew the yankees were going to rock you… but you stuck with your team.
U knew Mariano didn’t spit on the ball… but you believed the lies.

This isn’t 04, or 05; this isn’t freaking Randy Johnson and Kevin Brown….

THIS IS THE 2009 YANKEES, SO SUCK IT!

 
Dela G says:

marte and joba getting loose??

WHAT???

 
Stadium Garlic Fries says:

why the fuck is Marte in in sighting?

 
HC says:

I DO NOT want to see Joba. I want Hughes if AJ can’t get Mathis.

 
Ivan says:

Wow no Hughes warming.

 
zoudini says:

I’d like to claim credit for calling Tex-as-righty-big-hit (or at the very least foreshadowing it).

Also, what’s the official fan prop in Hell? The Braves’ Tomahawks or Thundersticks?

Evil Empire says:
 
 
Will says:

Yeah… pitch 1 was way a strike.

 
danny says:

joba and marte?
wtf?

 
Jobamania says:

sosc should have removed lackey for oliver to face damon or just fucking kept him in. what he did was totally boneheaded and made ZERO sense

 

I’m gonna murder Jeff Mathis.

 
dkidd says:

scoscia looks like he’s going to throw up

deeply satisfying

stupid mathis…

 
Brazilian Yankee says:

Why can’t they retire Mathis? This is ridiculous.

 

Jeff Mathis…REALLY? Give me a f’n break.

 
Dela G says:

how the fuck does mathis keep on getting these damn hits???

 
Jake H says:

How do you let Mathis go 3 for 3?

 
Andrew says:

come on guys hold on to the lead

 
BigBlueAL says:

You gotta be kiddin me with fuckin Mathis. Unreal.

 

OMG McCarver just said it.

“That’s why, in my view…”

I heart Family Guy.

Haha, that’s an old school one.

 
 
adeel says:

I would rather see Robertson than Chamberlain or Marte

 
 
Esteban says:

When did Mike Piazza replace Jeff Mathis as the Angels backup catcher

 

Oh come on, Tim. That’s a total second guess. Lackey had the bases loaded.

 
byron says:

how in god’s name is joba up instead of hughes???

 
Salty Buggah says:

Cmon AJ, get a DP

 
pete says:

memo to jeff mathis: stop pretending to be good it’s pissing me off

 
danny says:

mathis needs to go back to sucking

 
Jobamania says:

mathis really owning us. wtf?

 
Will says:

Wow, I’m even more impressed that AJ is only at 85 pitches.

 

I stick with AJ right here.

 
Mike bk says:

bout time hughes got up.

 
BigBlueAL says:

Surprised Marte us up and not Coke????

Mike bk says:

marte has done the job this series.

And in the other series, too. And down the stretch.

 
 
 
Hova says:

Robertson, Hughes, Mo. That’s all we should see tonight. And that should start right now!!!!!!

 
JackC says:

Wow…Marte and Joba.

JackC says:

You don’t think they’re in there as an especially cruel bid to fill Angels fans hearts with hope, do you ?

 
 
Mike Pop says:

I love showing this confidence in Burnett. But don’t give him too long of a leash.

 
Lefty says:

I mean, I understand Mathis is a scrub and all, but when are we going to stop throgin him fastballs? (Although it won’t matter because he only has one at bat left this season.)

 

How many guys are we going to warm up?

 
byron says:

someone needs to check mathis’ urine, asap.

also, thank god hughes is warming

 
Yankeefan91 Arod Fan says:

Today was one scary Night watching paranormal activity if ya didnt see it i recommend ya should see it.

 
HC says:

Why is Hughes not in NOW?

Mike bk says:

because girardi is going to bring in marte for figgins and abreu…guaranteed.

 
 
 
AdamParker says:

Hughes can pitch > 1 inning… definately need him in there if/when AJ is taken out.

 

Hughes warming, very nice.

 
Riddering says:

Hughes up now. Thank Mo.

 
ShuutoHeat says:

I wish everyone there with a friggin thunderstick can take it and shove it up each other where the sun don’t shine.

 
Brian says:
 
Dela G says:

cmon AJ, you got this

 

ALCS MVP: Jeff “Jose Molina West” Mathis

 

Lots of pretty girls in SoCal.

 
Will says:

AJ’s got that look in his eyes.

 

Goddammmmmmmmit, I’m getting nervous. Let’s go, A.J. Blow it by him.

 
Stadium Garlic Fries says:

we still have few runs coming our way next two innings..this bp is rattled.

 
yankees=warriors says:

Come on, AJ, you’ve gotten this far!

 
Brazilian Yankee says:

Enough of AJ. He did his job, kinda. Time to go to the ‘pen.

 
Jake H says:

This is going to end badly. Should have went to Marte.

scooter says:

You go to Marte here ONLY to turn Figgins around – MAYBE to pitch to Abreu if he can get Figgins

Girardi will point to AJ’s absurdly low pitch count (90?) and the fact that he gave up 3 hits since the first.

The way Mathis owned him – that points to pulling him at the start of the inning

If Mo can go 4 outs, and Hughes can go 4, you really don’t need much else – maybe D-Rob and Marte for an out each. This is a head-scratcher

 
 
Mike bk says:
 
BigBlueAL says:
 
Dela G says:

shit

shit

shit

aight, bring in hughes or someone else here

 
charlespoet says:
 
Tony says:

WHY DID POSADA CALL FOR A WALK?

 
Jobamania says:

lets go marte, you can do it!

 
Mike bk says:

told u he was going to marte for figgins and abreu.

 
Esteban says:
 
Mike Pop says:

Alright Burnett. You didn’t do your job there, but great freaking job from the 2nd to 6th.

Love ya buddy.

 
 
Dela G says:

well i guess marte is next

 
Andrew says:

oh boy here we go

 
Raf says:

come on Marte. get it done

 
Hova says:

Fuck you AJ. Fuck you. Sit the fuck down and thanks for leaving after putting two on.

Mike bk says:

no fuck u…go away.

Mike Pop says:

For real man. Go away, Hova.

 
 
Riddering says:

You are not being reasonable here. Go dunk your head in a bucket of ice cold water for a few consecutive minutes and then come back.

 
 
pete says:
 
dkidd says:

aybar is challenging figgins as most annoying angel

 
TJ says:

Figgins struggles mightily against lefties.

 
 
danny says:
 
HC says:

Girardi sux. What a MORON!!!! Just throw Hughes and Mo 3 innings and close it out you asshole…

 
zoudini says:

Between the fawning over his defensive prowess (you wouldnt need to block so many balls if you catch them cleanly, angeltard mathis) and his timely hitting, Jeff Mathis = Jason Varitek 2.0.

 
southernyankeefan says:

Damn AJ good recovery from inning number 1 but shit dont walk the 9 hole hitter.

 
RobC says:

A-Rod does not have his digger yet

 
Brazilian Yankee says:

AJ choked when it mattered once again. Terrible job walking Aybar. And now with Marte coming in this has all the looks of a tie game after 2 batters.

Steve H says:

You’ve been here too often to be considered a troll I guess, but you are a Sox fan right? Or Yankee hater?

 
Dela G says:

there you go with your negativity

 
crapulent aka I said good day sir says:

do you ever stop?

 

You don’t learn. You’re terminally dumb.

 
 
Brian says:

C’mon Marte! Get a double play!

Helluva job by AJ after that disastrous first inning but he leaves in trouble. He is probably the most frustrating player to follow, he can be so good, and so bad in such a short time span.

 
Jobamania says:

i have all the faith in marte. more than coke, dont hate guys

 
JackC says:

Ok – Marte. There’s surely a fine reason for this. I’m confident of a positive outcome

 

Watch for the damn bunt.

Mike bk says:

i agree. they bunt to get 2 RISP w 1 out.

 
 
NYTraveller says:

Marte gets two batters, then Hughes? Be nice to justify that contract about now.

Steve H says:

Like Tex!

/kidding

 
 

Chone Figgens

vs. Left 203 25 50 8 2 0 11 24 0 44 13 4 .246 .325 .305 .630

vs. Right 412 89 133 22 5 5 43 77 1 70 29 13 .323 .428 .437 .865

 

There’s no way Kendrick doesn’t bat now, right?

JMK aka The Overshare says:
 
 
trueblue says:

Jesus.. the worst possible way to follow that rally.

 
Raf says:

so bunt from Figgens coming. Marte has to bring it to Abreu

 
nathan says:

What the….

can i hv 5 mins of no stomach-churns… yikes… this is ulcer creating

Welcome to October.

 
 
Ivan says:

Alright, 2 on with no outs. Still can get out of this inning unscave here.

 
Evil Empire says:

Kit Kat bars do not make that fucking sound.

jay says:

When you eat them frozen and they chip your tooth they do

 
 
BigBlueAL says:

Wouldve been nice if Hughes wouldve just started the 7th inning.

ACC says:

Or at least after the first baserunner.

 
 
AJ says:

Marte or Hughes? I know the lefty matchup, but Hughes is the young fireballer who could just blow him away.

Marte was great the other night with the one pitch he threw. Let’s get a DP ball here Marte and you can earn your stripes.

You’re only looking at half of the equation.

 
 
yankees=warriors says:

The freaking monkey again…

 
Jamie says:

i feel like im living a nightmare right now. please tell me when we come back from commercial hughes will be in.

 
Andrew says:

What do you guys think: Did Girardi stay with AJ too long?

BigBlueAL says:

In hindsight yes.

 
 
Raf says:

bunt then DP. lets go

 
sean says:

fresh BP and girardi brings out AJ??—-after overmanaging 3 days ago??

pete says:

aj was at 82 pitches or something and was rolling. if he had shut them down 1-2-3 would you have questioned him? obviously it seems like the wrong move now but it wasn’t before

 
 

Oh, woops, I thought Izturis was still coming up.

 
Mike Pop says:
 
pete says:

adkfasflkjflj i’m narvose

 
Dela G says:

alright, now marte find a way to get abreu out without runs plz?

 

Just walk Bobby and bring Hughes in to face Hunter.

Dela G says:

hmm i never even thought about that

but that’s risky, torii had a big hit today already

 
Mike bk says:

we are on the same wavelength.

 
BigBlueAL says:

Hughes shouldve started the 7th inning.

 
 
Drew says:

Let’s get it Marte. You got this shit.

lol. Okay, Give us an out. Thanks Sciosca

 
Brian says:

Get Abreu out Marte!

 
Andrew says:

I’m not going to lie, Marte in this spot scares me.

 
Mike bk says:

walk and bring in hughes for hunter?

 
JackC says:

There’s surely a fine reason for this. I’m confident of a positive outcome

 

This is your job, Marte. Get out tough LHH. Do it.

 

Coke has been way to HR-happy. Marte is fine for 2 batters.

 
Stadium Garlic Fries says:

what the hell Girardi did this evening..why was Hughes not starting this inning?>

 
dkidd says:

whatever happens, marte over coke is the right move

hot hand >>> the guy that got you there

 
Tony says:

Strike this son a bitch out.

Tony says:
 
 
Raf says:

hes gonna get it done.

 
Drew says:

2nd and 3rd, 1 out – pitching to Abreu is an odd choice

I’d walk him, bring in Hughes

 
zoudini says:

Joe,

I see what you were trying to do, get your part-time headcase #2 starter a series clinching win, but after the Game 3 debacle, din’t Mo take away all your bullpen tokens (especially the 1 out outing ones)?

NYTraveller says:

Come thru Martye and stick it in McCarver’s face

 
Jobamania says:

all this hatred by fox on marte when he was INJURED

 
HC says:

So Hughes can only get lefties out according to Girardi. This is his WORST move of the postseason. Hughes and Mo should have thrown 3 and closed it out.

NYTraveller says:

Two outs man on third – not a disaster yet. Have faith.
