Game 76: Warren’s First Time
By
(AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
You only get one Major League debut, and tonight 24-year-old right-hander Adam Warren will make his. He’ll become the first player to make his big league debut as a starting pitcher for the Yankees since Ian Kennedy in 2007, a game I just so happened to have in my 20-game package that summer. That was neat. Anyway, it would be real nice if the offense could push some runs across early to give Warren some breathing room. Here’s the lineup…
SS Derek Jeter
CF Curtis Granderson
1B Mark Teixeira
3B Alex Rodriguez
2B Robinson Cano
RF Nick Swisher
DH Andruw Jones
LF Jayson Nix
C Chris Stewart
RHP Adam Warren
Tonight’s game is scheduled to start a little after 7pm ET and can be seen on YES locally and MLB Network nationally. Enjoy.

OK. How long do we think he’s gonna last?
He will go 6+, 3R, 2ER, 1WP, 6H, 4K, 3BB.
hmm…incredibly accurate. You wouldn’t have the lotto numbers for NJ would you?
22, 25, 3, 6, 34, and 79.
Didn’t you give the lotto numbers as 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42?
Those numbers look awfully suspicious.
Those are for California. I have no idea why you’d say they look suspicious…..::summons Smoke Monster::
I’ll counter with Godzilla then.
Here’s to never seeing AAA again, Mr. Warren.
That would be amazing if he performed so well that he stayed and pitch through the season, playoffs and ws. OK, I take a good game tonight.
so I said somethings last night after the lose about Joe G. I just wanted to let him know, it was in the heat of the moment…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....page#t=51s
So the situation with Russ is going to be like it was last year I take it? He’s going to miss two weeks without going on the DL just because?
Sounds about right.
We need a new catcher.
I’ve got no problem with a healthy russel martin, but seriously just DL him if he’s hurt and call up Cervelli.
Claim Quintero. Then when Russ gets back dump Stewart and make him the backup.
Quintero is racist though.
is he? then claim him, trade him to the Red Sox for Shoppach. he’d be perfect with Salty.
The Yankees have the scouting report on Quintana right? Since we created him?
“And just remember, Dwight…I brought you into this world and I can take you out of it. Bill Cosby.”
—Michael Scott
I hope Lou is in the booth again tonight!
Warren has been pretty unimpressive this year in AAA.
Let’s hope he can give the Yankees a serviceable 5-6 innings tonight.
Getting the Knob Creek ready.
MM, Knob Creek. I prefer Glenlivet, but still damn good whiskey.
I just obtained a liter bottle of Bols Corenwijn. I am gonna use it in the sauteed shrimp tacos I am making for my wife for dinner, and definitely have a few chef’s sips.
dude…stop. I’m eating cold pizza
I’m having microwave cuisine. Is that any better?
Lol, at least it’s hot. I really gotta get a microwave here.
I’m eating Cheerios for dinner. Feel better?
Chocolate Cheerios exist.
This makes me sad. Can we please stop making healthy cereals bad and just concentrate on inventing more junk food cereals please?
You know what’s annoying? Apparently, Count Chocula is only available around Halloween. I went looking for some a few weeks ago and didn’t find any. I was sad.
I read a lot about him 2 years ago and thought he’d be up sooner based on his pre MLB record and I don’t know what he’s been doing that has kept him toiling in the minor leagues.
Being in the Yankees farm system. It’s really hard to break into the big leagues as a mid-level prospect on this team. Unless your a Phil Hughes, or Joba Chamberlian it’s going to take some injuries and strong performance to get to the big clup.
He’s been sucking this year. That’s why it took so long for him to get called up, and only did because of injuries. If nobody got injured, he probably wouldn’t throw a pitch at all this year.
Well he just struck out a guy who had 4 hits last night, so clearly he does not suck.
Get his HOF plaque ready!
He is now our number two starter.
I give it two more innings before SEND HIM DOWN! FIRE GIRARDI! CASHMAN SUCKS!
Bring me the vocal chords of Hawk Harrelson.
YEAH! Lou is here!!!!
How do we know it’s his first time?
Because every statement made by him or anyone else with knowledge of the situation has referred to it as his first stint in the majors?
It was a bad joke.
Getting the plaque ready for Cooperstown right now. It should be ready by the end of the game tonight.
Never mind he walked a guy TO THE BULLPEN!!
Nice start love the hook.
Awesome first AB for Warren. Rootin’ hard for ya kid!
Also like the pace he gets it he throws it no bullshit.
Got plans for later?
ehhh, that was a nice pitch
Yankees don’t seem to want to deal with Dunn.
Wtf nice squeeze ump
Getting squeezed on some close pitches already. ::Rolls eyes::
He has to earn the privilege of getting those pitches called his way.
please tell me that’s sarcasm making fun of that douche ump?
I think it was a reference to when an ump told Martin he had to earn the right to throw the ball back to the pitcher.
Naturally.
Just making sure lol…there have been some accusations flying around about you =P
nearly chocked to death….perfect!!
Back to back walks are bad.
Ump really squeezing this kid
Lol, back to back walks…last one on four pitches…and he swings first pitch. I thought it was just our offense that does that.
Alex Rios, Consummate Hacker.
YEAH!! Warren is the MAN!!!!!!!
WAY too many pitches thrown that inning. He’s gonna need to settle down and be more efficient.
Dude, he’s a rookie, in his first major league inning. Cut him some slack.
No, this is the Yankee organization. We demand absolute perfection. AND NO FUCKING BEARDS!.
This. Dude’s probably got adrenaline through the roof right now, let’s not judge him yet.
Not criticizing him. Just saying if he’s gonna go 5, he can’t throw 25 pitches per inning.
Good job ump really fucked with him
got through the first one, kid looks pretty good even getting squeezed a bit!
I wouldn’t want to pitch to Paul Konerko either. Decent inning all things considered.
Yeah, or Dunn for that matter either.
Good first inning for Warren. Two walks aren’t great, but I give any rookie making his debut a pass on that.
Facing a lefty masher and a borderline future HOF? I completely understand those walks, especially because he was squeezed on i’d say 6 of the 8 pitches.
Yup. If he’s gonna walk anyone, it should be Dunn and Konerko.
Srsly. Much better that than a few balls down the middle and launched.
Pastadivingyoukilis
Nice! One last person for Jeter to chase down on the all-time hits list.
If that third baseman timed it right, it looked like he could have had it? Or visual illusion?
GRANDY!!!!!!!!
YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!
Give that kid some runs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow … really didn’t think that was going out
lol Yankee Stadium
Wow did that carry. Looked like a routine FB to RF.
It’s like a hundred degrees out here, maybe that’s a contributing factor.
Haha, it’s like 95degrees and humid as fuck. In Yankee stadium. Balls are going to FLY tonight. I’d IBB Dunn all night for fear of him hitting one out of the stadium.
Him and Konerko too
I’m actually less scared of Konerko. He’ll hit a single or a double every so often. If Dunn gets his hands on a ball, especially tonight, it ain’t coming back.
GRANDYMAN!!!
BAMF
It seemed like his immediate reaction was “Crap. Fly out.”
I dig the 0.67 runs per pitch ratio.
NERD ALERT!
Grandy!!! Way to pick up the rookie! Love it.
Nap Lajoie’s career hit total is 3242, not 3252. And I’m glad that still no one can agree on the pronunciation of his name.
And another YS3 special for Curtis.
And another took third strike by Teix.
lol Teix
Love grandy but he will cost at least 25 million a year real soon.
nowhere near that
Nope. He’s too old to get that for an outfielder. 18-22 probably.
Not at his age. Also he’s a corner outfielder playing center.
I love bloops!
You spelled boobs wrong.
I so want to make a joke here, especially with something I saw earlier tonight, but I won’t because it will lead to bad things.
Now you have to do it.
Well, it has to do with what Dewayne is wise said, but I’m not going to say who it made me think of.
Never mind.
Sorry still thinking about meridiths cans in the pregame.
Cano’s probably thinking “wtf, my rocket get’s caught, and that’s a hit?!”
Glad to see Quintana get roughed up a little so we don’t have to hear about how stupid the Yankees were for not protecting him
YEAH.
sooooo close. I will take the double though.
DRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUW
Why did they ever let Quintana go?! If Cashman knew what he was doing he would cut Jones!
He clearly deserves to be fired for these mistakes.
We’re still assembling all the facts on these matters, give us some time.
Although he is getting beat up here, it doesn’t look like a good move. At least Axford is sucking ass this year.
This is probably a really tough time for you. I will be praying for you. God bless.
embedded Yankee: Jose Quintana
Andruw with the warning track power.
Ha! O’Neill got a little over anxious there.
ANDRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUWWWWWWWW!!!
BTW, I was thinking when I heard that Warren was pitching today, that maybe Girardi was thinking about that last night when he tried to get away with not using his better relievers? Possible?
Whats warren thinking
Man look at my offense!!!
He’s thinking holy shit does the ball fly in the park.
Pretty unlucky inning for Quintana.
Grandy’s homer was a YSIII special, but there was a hard hit line out to RF and Andruw smoked that.
And an easily catchable bloop.
And a hard it ball the CF had to make a running catch back on to end the inning. And Jeter’s rocket down the line. Plenty of hard hit balls, don’t act like he’s getting BABIP’d to death.
how was it easily catchable? There was nobody anywhere near it.
Also Tex smoked a ball that just went foul by a few feet. Any unluckiness for Quintana was easily cancelled out by the luck.
Selfish Yankees spoiling the value of their young pitchers by pounding Quintana.
Nice to see Andruw getting his death-to-lefties stroke back!
I just hope this kid doesn’t feel complacent with a 4-0 lead and think to himself, “OK. Just throw strikes.”
It’s his debut, I’d imagine he just wants to impress as much as possible.
You’re right I want him to nibble at the corners and walk people.
Get Phelps up.
Flipped over to ChiSox broadcast. Yep, they’re already acting like they’re winning.
This is gonna be a Coors field kind of game.
Hey hey
None of that shit kid or its back tonscranton bus tour.
But no one goes to Scranton this year.
It’s funny. I saw a news headline yesterday that the inventor of Scantron died. I originally read it as the inventor of Scranton died. And I was like, someone invented that place?
Take him out, the game is over. ERA of 9? He sucks!!!
Should have kept Igawa!
Hey, Igawa is the all time wins leader for Scranton. He’s awesome!!
I kid, I kid.
He had more wins than Warren, so I don’t even know why they let Igawa go.
Yeah, they should just trade IPK and Melky to get Igawa back.
Gotta wait until Joba is back or else whatever team has Igawa won’t do the deal.
Cut him!
Come on kid reach down and grab your nuts and pitch.
The White Sox hitters look way too comfortable at the plate. It looks like they’re hunting fastball and seeing the ball well out of Warren’s hand.
Well, We are very lucky that we didn’t lose any ground last night.
This is going to be a slugging match, that hopefully we come out on top
No lead is safe in YS3.
No that’s Fenway
That’s this park, too.
Looks like a very short game for both pitchers tonight.
jeez, batting practice
Get Phelps up.
I think Cashman should be reaching for the phone right now
I hope his parents already have a few beers in them.
This has got to,be painful for a parent to watch.
Chris Stewart should know better. Too many fastballs in a row.
First team to 10 wins tonight.
God dammit.
Anytime I’m tempted to complain about Yankee broadcasters, I think about ESPN, FOX, and the White Sox and thank God for the broadcaster blessings he has bestowed on the Yankees.
great shutdown inning
its going to be a long night and not one we’ll enjoy…
GFY
Why, do we lose?
1.
Please stop this… this is almost as bad as the actual trolling and only encourages people.
Also, not every single negative comment or question of a Girardi move is trolling.
But Hummingbird is a troll. So there’s that.
Hummingbird is among the king of trolls here. He finds shit to bitch about when we’re winning by multiple runs. and here’s a doozey for you, go look at the end of the game thread last night, and see who was one of the first to call out Girardi for fucking up (Hint: It was me.)
For the love of Mo, haven’t we learned not to declare the game over in the second inning by now? Get outta here.
Grooved meatballs do not work up here
So this is life without C.C. or Pettitte.
Wow, the ChiSox broadcast had their strikezone up. They had exactly none of the pitches to Beckham being over the plate.
Warren is not that good. 5-5 3.86era and more hits than innings pitched in the minors! He blows!
2.
What are you counting today
Trolls, I’d wager.
Trolls, already. TommyBoy has never once said anything productive, positive, or a critic that could be argued in anyway.
If I am counted tonight, I will go Les Grossman on this entire board.
I don’t get it.
Is phelps up yet
If I hear that fucking “baseball, apple pie, and Chevrolet” commercial one more time, I am going to have a heart attack.
Where are you watching? I’m not hearing that on YES.
I was checking up on MLB Network and the commercial played again.
You forgot “hot dogs.”
But, yea, that’s one of many commercials that make me want to kill myself right now.
So damn annoying.
If it’s gonna be a slugfest and battle of the bullpens, I like the Yanks’ odds.
Hopefully we put on a better hitting clinic than they do in this one.
Those are boos for the Cro-Magnon and not “Youk” chants, right?
Why would they be Youk chants?
Because people are fucking stupid.
Giants fans would always chant “Moose” for Daryl Johnston, and it annoyed me to no fucking end.
That’s because when the Giants play Dallas, 20% of the fans are Cowboys fans at least.
Definitely Boos
I don’t wanna say phelpsy.. but…. phelpsy
Ok so who were those teams that were calling cash for Warren?
They all stopped calling.
Wow. This pitcher sucks.
Also, why did David Robertson not start the ninth inning last night?
That was a Burnettian inning.
Didn’t you watch the WB Mason postgame show, only on YES!?
We discussed that last night. Girardi gave a terrible excuse, and the consensus seems to be he was trying to avoid using DRob and Soriano, just because.
Oh. Thankyou. The only part of the postgame I saw was Robertson’s interview, and he seemed pretty pissed that he didn’t start the inning.
So was Mrs. DRob, evidently.
Because his wife prefers the excitement of bringing him in with runners on base.
“If the ball is hit to A-Rod, he’ll go home with it, Ground ball to third Alex throws to first, the run scores.” John Sterling, wrong but not missing a beat.
Heh. Going home would have been a mistake. It’s early in the game, get the out.
Yeah really, the kid can’t buy an out. Take it.
I just found it funny how much he just stated it as a fact, but then with out acting like he was wrong in the same breath and kept going.
Okay hopefully he can settle down.
And Joe will wait for Warren to give up another 4 runs before he takes him out.
Is he over 50 pitches yet?
I’d say roughly 55.
Pitching to the score. You’re doing it wrong.
Can we make deal with oakland and get Colon back?
That’s a good idea. Colon’s on the DL.
He’s on the DL.
Ok whats javey vasquez doing these days?
I thought we were done with the NL, having the pitchers lead of the inning
lol Stewart
awesome bunt
CHRIS STEWART DID SOMETHING! TAKE THAT MIKE AXISA!
-Greg
Does that mean you’d rather have Jorge Posada?
So much momentum. Sign Trevor Plouffe and *insert comment complaining about ESPN*.
Stewie makes the toxic avenger look bad
Well done!
Chris Stewart sucks.
That’s on Jeter. He waved him to go.
Keep making excuses. God forbid we ask Stewart to have an original thought on the bases.
So you are going to say no to Derek Jeter. Good luck with that.
Yes. I would like players to say no to Jeter and be right than say yes to him and be wrong.
Because Jeter is totally gonna rip Stewart in the dugout for not going on that.
Technically, isn’t “The ball didn’t get that far away from him but I’ll go anyway” an original thought?
If Jeter hadn’t waved him over, I would be with you. That was stupid
I thought he signaled “Hold up!” myself.
First blush, I thought he waved him over
what a fucking dumbass
Stewart is such a dumbass.
If Ripken had any balls, he’d have been all like, “Jeter’s a punk, and the next time I see him, I’m gonna deck him for passing me.”
ugghhh
free outs, get your free outs here
Jeter waved him to go
He taged his package lol
Stewart can’t do anything right!
…why in christ’s fucking sake is our back up catcher stealing bases. I hope Girardi is letting him have it in the dug out. I know he’s not though. You as a catcher know better than anybody your pitcher needs to catch his breath, and you just give away an out.
I blame Jeter. He waved for him to go. You dont say no to Derek Jeter
i loled
Of course not, you want the gift basket the next morning
Please get off my team Stewart.
Argh. This is already turning out to be a yucky series. Worst since the Anaheim series a couple of weeks ago…
Stewart ran to save Jeter the indignity of GIDP.
PREDETERMINED OUTCOME
Yea, I rewound the game and Jeter clearly signaled “Hold up!” because as soon as he saw Stewart going, he looked down and frowned.
Yeah, Jeter stuck his hand out to tell him to stay. Womp womp.
Alright. Stewart was an idiot. Still the same defensive and offensive value as Cervelli.
Cervelli’s clearly better offensively
Watch it. Frankie is a legend!
Meep.
What noise is that?
Just a general weird noise expressing my feelings about this game. I’m almost entertained, in a weird way, because it’s not going to be a boring game in the LEAST. It’s already wacked out.
how many times this season have we seem the Yankees score 2+ in the first and get shut down the rest of the way? It has this feeling to it..
based on one inning??
an inning led off by Chris Stewart??
And Stewart reached base!
That would be exactly…once.
Phelps please
Oy.
phelpsy
I blame Lou. We are 0-4 in games that he has called. And we ould be 0-5
First pitch, slider. Right down broadway. fuck man…
Right down main street.
btw, this Warren kid sucks.. so much for the vaunted pitching depth
He doesn’t suck.
He clearly sucks Erica. Everybody knows you can make definitive statements about pitchers 2 innings into their major league career.
I want to see Hummingbird S. become Brian Cashman for a day.
I sure as hell don’t.
A-Rod would be cut, the minors would be gutted for Cliff Lee, Cargo, King Felix, and one other guy. We’d be good for like 3 years and be terrible for the next decade.
Jim Thome as our centerfielder?
He doesn’t have any speed left.
Depth does not equal quality.
Yes, based on less than 3 MLB career innings, we can say that he sucks and we have no depth.
Nobody ever said Warren was a top prospect, but he still provides good depth, even with this start.
Anyone have any idea as to why my google is in Japanese?
your on japanese google? mine’s fine.
I think it’s part of Obamacare.
Let’s not go there.
Sucks for you that it doesn’t cover ignorance.
Warren sucks.
At least Konerko is on my fantasy team.
Warren not giving us a chance at all. Wow does he suck. Straight fastball and offspeed stuff with no bite.
Am I the only who doesn’t think that Adam Warren sucks? It’s his goddamn first Major League outing. Stop expecting perfection with the first pitch. We have to make do with what we have for the moment.
He doesn’t suck, but he’s not a major league quality starter. He is up for a couple of starts at the most probably. He isn’t going to come in and look like Sabathia.
Right! It’s not a long-term solution. And I think a lot of people are expecting Sabathian-like pitching, or whatever.
That’s not going to happen.
Nope. You get what you pay for.
He’s probably really nervous. Everyone wants Phelps in – Phelps has given up runs, too. They’re rookies/back-end starters; it’s par for the course.
Right! Remember your first day at your first real job? Weren’t you nervous? (“You” is a generalization in this instance.)
He does suck right now, but it is certainly not his fault that he is in over his head.
We’re (or at least I’m) not expecting perfection. However, I am also not expecting 6 runs in 2+ innings and an almost laughable inability to make an out.
Warren’s last inning I’d assume. Sucks for the parents to see their kid stink up the ballpark and watch him get booed if he doesn’t finish the inning.
Adam Warren is not long for this game.
^^^ please
He’s over 60 pitches already, too. Ouch.
Who’s dumbass idea was it to bring this clown up?!
The fans at the stadium better give the kid a hand when he leaves the mound. If they boo, I’m gonna be pissed.
Okay Brian, the internal options did not work. NOW GO MAKE A TRADE.
Hayyyy, it’s Negative Nate!
cool
Chris Stewart is so fucking awful
Chris Stewart, just go home.
This isn’t looking good for Mr. Warren.
Now I’m not trolling here, but I did hear them say “If this was September, CC wouldn’t have gone on the DL.” Anyone think they’re reconsidering that?
Oh my god, Stewart.
They shouldn’t reconsider anything regarding CC. It’s not even the All Star break, let the big man get healthy.
If they’re going to reconsider anything it would be Adam Warren. This kid is awful.
Claim Quintero please.
Looking forward to Phelps, hopefully he gets enough work for the next start!
Could Stewart possibly be any worse?
Somewhere in the great state of NY blue eye sheds a tear.
Another great play by Chris Stewart.
That was Warren’s fault apparently he made some motion to throw the ball away… Stewart was just listening to his teammate.
- Greg
lmao
Seriously. I thought he was supposed to be good defensively? At least that’s what I read when the trade went down. What the hell happened?
Nichols Law: http://www.baseball-reference......er_Defense
Alright, now I’m getting pissed at Stewart.
Jeter just waved him to throw it into CF.
lmao
Pierzynski with an infield hit? Oh, that’s not a good sign.
Warren is bound for the Bus, have fun on tour kid,see ya next year in a relief role.
What a joke.
what is Girardi waiting for? this kid sucks.. straight pitches down the middle do not work in the majors
Okay, I want this guy off our roster. I can’t imagine Cervelli would be worse. And I don’t like Cervelli.
Hopefully I won’t miss much as I take the dog for a quick walk.
He sucks…right now…
Geeze – I’m gonna need to find something else to do tonight if this is gonna continue.
I mean, Chicago’s a good team and everything, but the last four innings the past two nights have been a nightmare. Adam Warren is not long for this rotation, unfortunately, and Chris Stewart has been unbearably atrocious.
I don’t care if this Warren’s first start the kid isn’t fooling anyone with with that meatball fastball and flat offspeed pitches.
I feel bad for him a bit. He must have zero confidence right now.
GO MAKE A TRADE BRIAN.
Otherwise I might think about killing myself, metaphorically.
I try to be positive, and look what happens.
I’m really perplexed by your constant negativity. Are you negative about other things in your life, or only the Yankees?
Basically I need the Yankees to win to help feel good about myself and my choices. I know it seems extreme, but I’m without a job, I just got my masters degree and I;m doing some volunteer work to get experience. In terms of “American Dreams” I;m not doing to well right now.
I got laid off last week, but I’m determined to not live and die by sports anymore.
The Yankees aren’t something you can control and you shouldn’t let it dictate your happiness.
Easier said then done
I can’t believe we gave up Kontos for Stewart aka Cervelli 2.0
And Chris Stewart is trending on Twitter for all the wrong reasons.
Yankee fans mad.
He sucks! No excuse for him to be on this team.
Yanks scored four runs in one inning. I am not giving up on this game.
Its weird when you’re wishing we still had AJ the rollercoaster in town
…I’m not there yet. In fact, I’ll never be.
Neither will I. If AJ wasn’t having a decent year in a terrible division in the lesser of the two leagues, would anyone miss him? I fully believe that AJ in the AL East would still be terrible.
I don’t and will never miss AJ. He couldn’t survive in the AL anymore.
…I’m so sorry for your wishes.
One more hit and warrens parents are getting a beer bath.
It’s a shame Cashman passed on all the calls he said he had for this guy, this isn’t going to help his stock…
I don’t think there is literally one GM in baseball who says “Oh man, he had one bad start against a good team in the Majors. Nevermind, don’t want him”
No, but I doubt it hurts his stock either. GMs are smart enough to not base a decision on one MLB start.
Damn when I left he just gave up a homer to AJ….what happened?!
He gave up hits.. to practically everybody.
this is 2011 Hughes-esque
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Please don’t boo please don’t boo
That I can agree with. Yeah, he did a crappy job, but he’s young and it was his first start.
Exactly. If I made a mistake on the first day of a new job, I shouldn’t be yelled at. It’s demoralizing. He’s clearly got talent and he needs our support.
I hate when people, especially here, are so harsh on young pitchers. Hate it. NOBODY is perfect out of the gate and it really bothers me when perfection is expected right away.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Isn’t it fairly obvious that you bring Phelps in, continue stretching him out and he takes the next turn in the rotation?
What is Girardi waiting for? Heck even if Girardi turns a blind eye to effectiveness the guy has thrown nearlyu 80 damn pitches and he’s still in the 3rd.
And with that, Warren is gone.
Well, lets see if Phelps can reclaim that rotation spot now. For all of, well, one start.
I’m sorry, but does anybody actually watch Tyler Perry’s House of Payne? It’s on TBS right now and, in all honesty, I don’t undersand why they can’t put on Big Bang Theory or Family Guy, which are on on Mon-Thurs and Sat at 8. This Tyler Perry show seems stupid and isn’t even funny.
Ugh. I guess I’m stuck clicking between this Yankee game and Say Yes to the Dress.
If the game goes sour, read a book. Those TV shows cause mind rot.
Netflix FTW
FTL
OK. I didn’t hear boos of the kid, so I am not gonna have to get angry.
He just took him out
Yeah don’t give him another start. We can’t give away any more games.
Please stop posting.
Naw.
Seriously. He didn’t even give us a chance.
HOLD ON.
Did you change baseball?
Games only go for three innings? THREE? No. Effin’. Way. Everything I know about life is a lie.
You know they have a 5 game lead in the division right? And you know that Phelps is just as capable as exploding in a start as Warren is, right? So Warren can never get another start because he had a bad one in his debut?
Done
See ya.
I wanted Phelps instead, not that we had a choice, but looks like he handled it better. So far Warren isn’t having a good game, I’m not writing him off entirely though. Just liked our chances with Phelps better after what he showed his last time up. Didn’t like how it worked out with stretching him out and not being ready.
oh no. Was he crying?
I’m not sure, but Rapada definitely looked like he was yesterday. Eek.
I know, right?!
one of the worst performances I can ever remember
Nope AJ vs. Arizona Diamondbacks was worse.
Nah that was ONLY 7 runs in 4 IP
76 pitches to get 7 outs with 6 earned runs and 8 hits. It doesn’t get mch worse than that.
The White Sox should have at least bought Warren dinner before they did that to him.
My God, that pitching line hurt my eyes!!
With Phelps,we’re beginning to regress to April. I hope tonight isn’t the start of an infection of bad pitching. Even for old pros,the double whammy–CC and Pettitte–must have been demoralizing.
Phelps just looks so much sharper already
Can we get some stats on current decent MLB pitchers who stunk like shit in their first MLB start?
I know Roy Halladay pitched an almost no hitter in his first MLB start
That’s how you pitch Warren!
Its hard to think that Casey Kotchman destroyed the 2012 Yankee season. But its getting that feeling to it
………………….
It has that mood to me. The reality is not true but the mood is.
Kotchman did not do anything to CC.
this is CC’s spot.
though technically, if not for Kotchman, Freddy would have started today – for better or worse
Nope.
If the Yankees make a trade right now I’d want it to be for a better backup catcher and that’s it. Let’s see what Freddy and Phelps do before pushing the panic button.
Poor kid.
How come that only happens to Yankees in their MLB debut when they start?
And just like that goes the trade appeal
You stupid fucking idiots make it seem like we are down ten runs.
WE ARE DOWN TWO FUCKING RUNS!
+1
+2
NICE job by Phelps. I’m watching on Gameday – does he have that two-seamer working?
Its nasty
Whatevs I’m already over it.
It’s only a 2 run deficit and bottom of the third. It’s still a winnable game.
Does the kid have to sit alone in the dugout like a goddamn leper for the rest of the game? If the Yanks take the lead, is he allowed to high-five anyone?
Yes, Rapada.
I think it would be pretty cool if Phelps kept side’s spirit up. Warren should listen in on game-plan between innings with Stewart/Phelps.
Hopefully kid doesn’t go IPK and become a little wimp.
I hope he gets one more chance. Not sure he will though.
Nettles
Schmidt
Brett
Question?
3rd basemen with more than 290 career homers and 5 gold gloves.
Ventura is one of 4.
Schmidt, Scott Rolen and Ron Santo.
3-0 count on the last batter
swing at first pitch
God, they tattooed this chump for 4 fucking runs in the first inning, and now ARod swings at the first pitch.
@bad approach by Alex there
Horrible ABs by Tex and Arod.
Was there no way we could have made it so Phelps got the start instead? This sucks, wasn’t Phelps starting before he got sent down? I don’t know why Warren got the start. Maybe I missed something, hope I’m not coming off ignorant, just confused and now annoyed after this game. Again, not saying Warren is the worst and should never pitch again. Just was wanting Phelps starting.
I think Phelps wasn’t fully stretched out after spend so much time as a reliever.
Yeah, you missed something. Phelps was only stretched out to throw 70 pitches in his next scheduled start (Saturday).
Yeah this was the wrong time to put a rookie starter out there. September is the time for these kind of things but not while you’re smack dab in the middle of a season/pennant race.
Isn’t September a more crucial part of the season/pennant race?
Ha yeah really. End of June and a 5 game lead in the division sounds better to me than September with a potential Rays/Sox surge.
If Warren was good, would you be saying that? I think the Yankees thought it was a good opportunity to see what he had. It didn’t work out, but that doesn’t mean it was the wrong decision at the time.
I think if Phelps was stretched out then they would give him this start because he made a few starts earlier and was perfectly serviceable.
RIght but he wasn’t, and Warren lined up perfectly for tonight. I really can’t faul the decision to give him a look. Hindsight is hindsight, but I don’t blame the initial decision at all.
I know…I said IF he was stretched out. I liked giving Warren a shot over Ramon Ortiz or someone, and I thought he would do much better than he did.
At least we get to see meridiths cans again.
true story
She’s sooooo much hotter than Kim Jones was.
Word. Kim Jones was nerdy hot. And that isn’t necessarily a compliment. Meredith is like young teacher hot.
Young teacher hot…didnt think about that but I see it now lol
Yeah! You know what I’m talking about! That young recently graduated teacher who you would always find a way to sneak a touch or get her attention somehow.
Its the yankee network
Where is erin andrews
Posting nude videos of herself on the Internet probably.
Oh GOD, I’m out for this inning. Meredith’s voice makes me want to hurl my TV out the window. I mean, I know the “mute” button exists but I like listening to the game itself. BLERG!
Don’t be a hater
I’d prefer her to Ma and Pa singing. they’re singing!!!! I want to rip my ears out!!!!!!!!!
Figured I’d post this down here so he can see it:
Greg,
I feel ya man. I got a Masters as well and couldn’t get what I wanted to do. I’m a damn bank teller, despite an MA in International Relations and a passable ability to speak Arabic. Couldn’t get a single government job despite upwards of 300 applications. So I moved to DC anyway and settled on this bullshit job for the time being. But out of the blue, I got a call from two agencies that want to move forward with applications I put in back in March. One was the TSA, and the other I’m not allowed to disclose. Seriously.
My point is that good things will happen, you just gotta try hard and be patient. Likewise with baseball.
My guess is the NSA. I know you can’t tell me if I’m right or wrong, but I know the NSA is a lot more far reaching than the CIA can ever dream to be and almost nobody gives them a second look. They prefer it that way, I’m sure.
You’re right, I can’t say, but I can say that’s not an entirely accurate statement.
Who knew we had our very own Jack Bauer on RAB.
I like to think of him as our Sterling Archer.
He needs to change his name to the “DANGER ZONE”
No, no. First of all I’m still just an applicant, and second of all I’m not going to bea field officer. I’m going for Intel Analyst. As far as I know, I can post the job title, since literall all 16 members of the Intelligence Community have that title, I’m not really narrowing it down
But no guns or fear of death for me.
Lol, come on. Anybody who knows anything about government knows the NSA is secretive as shit and does a lot more than they say.
And so does the CIA. Their more well known because they’ve been around for like 60 years, but trust me, some shaaaady stuff happens there too. I’ve been lucky enough to tour the CIA, NSA, and ODNI facilities. CIA has them all beat, by a large margin.
I know it does lol, I don’t trust the intelligence community as a whole, they’re all shady fucks (no offense to you personally)
Of course. You can’t be a very good intelligence agency if you’re not secretive. Intel and covert work does not go hand in hand with transparency and democracy. Just doesn’t work.
You should see those war rooms though man. Giant, auditorium sized rooms, with 70” flat screens covering all the walls with every single news network on the planet on each one, every single desk had 3 monitors. Really impressive. Just to add to the ambiance, it’s all very dimly lit and has black furniture. Almost eerie.
Bahaha…I can see it in my head, I’ve wanted to go into the Intelligence Community just to be part of that, but I hate government inner workings to begin with on the outside…I don’t think I’d like it any more seeing all the dirty laundry.
Also, the CIA has a museum in one of its hallways, and it includes a James Bond-esque exploding pen from the Cold War.
There’s dirty laundry every where you go though. Every job I’ve ever had as featured corruption, greediness, or just breaking protocol in some way. Might as well have a BAMF job title in the process.
Go for the CIA. There’s a lot of money there with the illegal drug trafficking, lol.
Not my field. But yes, I can make well over six figures a year as an intel analyst.
Drug trafficking is more DEA and FBI, by the way.
Will Phelps throw a ball today?
Phelps is handling his.
Well…that was underwhelming…I honestly was expecting 5IP 3-5 runs…that was just terrible…if he gets another chance I hope he can do better and this was just nerves getting the better of him.
At least Youkilis is still a terrible baseball player. Not sure why people acted like he was going to suddenly hit by changing teams.
because by people you mean nESPN and nESPN loves him more than anybody.
He has the Red Sox tag. If Wakefield attempted a comeback those same people would say he’d be as good as Pettitte was.
He isnt terrible really. He’s an upgrade over what they had at 3B, and they didn’t give up much for him. He’s still got good BB rates and will probably wind up with a halfway decent slash line.
Love Phelps
Leadoff strikes to all five batters so far.
Phelps in rotation next year or trade piece?
Phelps in rotation right now. Let’s go from there and see.
I imagine he is a trade piece or kept for long man/depth.
David Phelps is prettay, prettay, prettay good.
If only CC could be as much of an ace as Phelps.
Phelps > Warren
With that being said Cash please trade for a starter.
Who? The Yanks don’t really have the pieces for a huge splash, Dempster’s on the DL, Wandy has that dumb contract, and lesser guys probably aren’t even an upgrade.
Dempseter should be back after the ASB. I would like to see Freddy and Phelps can offer before thinking seriously about at trade though.
Theo will demand a king’s ransom for Dempster anyway. I don’t think he’d be worth the price.
Who knows? It’s Cashninja.I doubt we’re getting anybody with the Cashninja on the loose I won’t rule it out either.
This is a grammar/punctuation fail but you all know what I mean.
Tim McCarver is going to the HOF and people argue over whether Posada is worthy?!?
That’s not really accurate. He won an award that is given by the Hall of Fame.
That does not make him a “Hall of Famer.”
If McCarver is a HOFer than Gameday’s scout feature is a HOFer.
A little surprising Nettles didn’t win 5 Gold Gloves.
He co-existed with Brooks Robinson for some prime years, and there was no way Brooks could be denied short of retirement.
This. Also, Buddy Bell played around the same time and Bell was also an excellent defensive player.
So. Just came in. I take it Warren hasn’t done so hot?
2.1 IP 8 H 2 BB 6 runs
Hey! Only two walks!
pasta diving youk is hilarious
Where are the Andruw haters?
He smiled when he struck out! He can’t hit lefties anymore, those 40 PA in April and May told me so! Give me Mustelier!
The real crime will be if the Yankees let Quintana settle in. He doesn’t have much more than Warren did.
Nix!!!!!!
well this inning has been pretty awesome so far.
Quintana has been just a smidge less worse than Warren and that’s no compliment.
Let’s go motherfuckers
This game is going to have a football score by the time it’s over.
Stewart…just stop existing. I never thought I’d hate a member of the Yankees…but I really strongly dislike you.
While I’m glad that Girardi didn’t call for a bunt there…. I almost wish he had.
Jeter should have told him to bunt.
Nicely played!
Um. Martin and Stewart have been equally terrible this year. We need a catcher who isn’t an embarrassment at the plate.
Martin is much better at the plate than Stewart…and he’s worlds better on defense.
They’re both just ‘blegh’ though.
Russ is like “Bleh”, whereas Stewart is like “HOLYSHITBLEHFUCKINGBLEH”
My thoughts exactly. I’d kill for a catcher who can play solid D can hit at least .250 and hit for some power.
Uh. I just described Gary Sanchez didn’t I?
Yeah bring Sanchez all the way to the majors. Great solution.
That’s not what I mean dude. I meant that Gary Sanchez possesses all the tools we desire in a Yankee catcher.
Yeah, I’m cool with that. Sorry, I can’t read tonight.
I love the prospects of, well, prospects as well. But with Sanchez’s ETA not being till late 2014 ish, we gotta find a solid guy. Whether that’s Russ, or whoever else. Also, obviously Sanchez is no sure thing.
Yeah, he does. But he’s a looooong way from the majors. I’m hoping the Yanks can resign Martin for a deal that coincides with Sanchez’s ETA. He’s as good a stopgap as any, assuming he doesn’t price himself out of that.
not sure about the solid D yet, but hopefully he can figure that part out
Equally terrible in what regard? Batting Average, yeah.
Martin: .197/.317/.374
Stewart: .261/.278/.304
So yea, I’ll take Martin. Plus, Martin has been playing below his skill level it would seem, whereas Stewart might actually be worse than his slash line indicates.
This.
Martin hasn’t been good offensively, but Stewart is an all around disaster.
Na-Po-Li!
No.Thank.You. Below average defensively, laughably so, wrong side of 30, about to make big money, I’m good.
And not hitting anything like he did last year.
Agreed. Stay away.
Glad to see Jeter hitting it on the screws lately.
Fuck you micheal kay
Don’t listen to Michael Kay.
At least Warren kept us in the game…
Teix
Remember when Tex used to be great batting RH.
What ever happened to that.
Wow…can anybody have a shut down inning?
God, I hate that fucker.
Pierzynski for 2013 stopgap.
No thanks.
Then we’ll have the 3 most hated players in baseball.
A-Rod, AJ, and Chris Stewart?
According to that player poll from a week or two ago, A-Rod and Swisher.
The Yankees value not having assholes on their roster. Won’t happen.
Seattle has this backup catcher with insane ops nammed Jesus.
.686 OPS
The insane .686 OPS.
But…but…Phelps is the answer!
[I like Phelps a lot actually, I just think people are too high on him in too short a time.]
ban that stupid idiot from the park, that might have been a double
Hate pirinzinski what jagoff
Can this series just be over already? Please. It’s like Anaheim all over again. Just a miserable series.
Hey, we didn’t lose yet!
It’s a one-run game!
Pierzininski is Ty Cobb levels of unlikable.
Didn’t Cobb kill a guy?
Yup.
Okay. Not disagreeing with the original comment. Just checking my facts.
Arod and Tex are clearly not feared by pitchers anymore.
Who gives a shit? Being “feared” is the stupidest narrative to enter the sports lexicon in the last ten years.
Keep running into outs.
It’s working out well.
I dunno, that looked awfully like a balk to me.
Reply fail.
Jeter musta waved him.
You’ve got to be kidding
Just absurd… stand on the damn base at this point.
Why are they giving free outs to such a shitty pitcher… I could understand if you had a good pitcher on the mound and were trying to be aggressive, but this is just ridiculous.
Fuck this series, fuck AJ Pierzynski, and fuck the White Sox.
Just finding all kinds of ways to lose this game.
Damn Tex, great play.
To the person who claimed “Hector Santiago” was a perfectly stereotypical Latin name, I have to raise you “Eduardo Escobar”.
Great pitching frame by Stewart on those two pitches to Dunn…
Jeter didn’t tell him to frame them.
I’m enjoying the new meme.
+1
Damm we need Wise in this game he is like the 2012 Homer Bush.
Love that name Homer Bush sounds like a 70s porn star name.
I never thought anyone would actually call for Wise to be in a game for anything besides his glove. This is a first.
You wouldn’t know that Adam Dunn has struck out 121 times in 76 games this year by watching his at bats this series.
Poukilis left the game with an upset stomach. How ironic.
He sharted.
trololololo
His pregame meal beer and chicken.
Youlk out with upset stomach?
What a pussy
-Bobby Valentine
Get him some Midol.
-Guy with mustache that looks like Bobby Valentine
I didn’t tell Warren to pitch a good game. My bad.
You should have had me call better pitches.
Well I told you to hold up asshole, and you went for second anyway!
Do I get a gift basket??
Fun Fact: in 7,721 plate appearances, Don Mattingly only struck out in 444 of them. Sick.
He’s no Tony Gwynn. 434 K in 10,232 PA.
That’s insane.
Just realized that many players will K that most times in 3-4 years. To K that few times in a career is beyond impressive.
Holy ball sack, that’s wicked impressive. Where does Adam Dunn rank?
Konerko showing that being old and productive can be done. You hear that Arod?!
Lovely.
This game has been like watching slow death so far.
Bad pitch selection again.
AJ is so going yard here. This series blows.
The White Sox are putting on a hitting with RISP clinic. If only the Yankees hit like this.
?
White Sox 3-8 today
Yankees 3-7 today
make that 3-9 for the Sox
But, teh narrative?
Charge that run to the home plate umpire
This should be interesting…
Odd combination here. This is possibly my least favorite game so far this season, yet this game thread is by far my favorite. Derek Jeter told him to do it meme ftw.
Jeez this is a four game series? I don’t think I can take any more of this!
How the fuck is Quintana still in this game? I mean, it’s not our hitters’ fault, we scored six runs off of him. It’s just amazing to me that his pitch count is only in the 90s after this. I mean, FUCK.
His offense bought him 9 lives.
Decent job by Phelps to hold down the fort.
Don’t like the 2 out, noone on base walk (especially when you start 0-2), but Dunn can at least go yard so it’s not like you just say “let him hit his way on base”
Some of us thought that was a strikeout the umpire missed.
Make them pay Jeter!
Well our pitching depth is crap. Boone Logan for starter! Help me campaign guys!
Where is my Sergio Mitre
No, it’s not crap. One MLB debut by Warren does not change that.
First our depth is not crap. Phelps pitched very well in a mop up role. Second, name me a team that would have depth after losing their: closer, 7th inning reliever, ace and number 2 starter, plus a number 3 starter earlier in the season. Not even America’s next dynasty, the Rangers, has that much depth.
Stewie kills martin in luck factor.
Please god dont let Wade suck again.
So other than the Girardi first impression factor (it takes a LONG time to overcome the first impression Girardi gets on a player), why is Stewart on the team?
To carry a .600 or below OPS bat, this guy needs to be Johnny Bench/Yadier Miolina/Ivan ROIDriquez behind the plate and he is clearly not. I know he looked good early on (again Girardi first impression factor), but how bad does he have to be to move on from this guy?
When it’s not shitty hitting, it’s shitty pitching. I hope they pull it together before the Tampa Bay and Boston series. This is the worst time for the Yankees to start playing bad.
This was like Viciedo’s third walk of the year. What the fuck are you doing Wade?
why is Cory Wade so bad.
Corey Wade has turned into absolute shit.
Corey Wade needs to go.
How many inside fastballs is Chris Stewart going to call for?
Cory Wade is the white flag. Just wow. Using him should be considered a crime against baseball.
Well… at least the Yanks scored six runs… we can drown our frustrations with 50% @ Papa Johns
I’m done with this BS. Just done. This is so incredibly frustrating.
I’m not sure we should even wait until Aardsma comes back to demote Wade.
Oh god he still sucks
Okay, time for the garbage time pitcher. Bring in Freddy. . . . .oh wait, nevermind.
The only real issue with tonight is the glaring hole that exists in the Yankees farm system in terms of having quality prospects ready to step up. As America is learning, money can buy or solve everything. #failedbusinessplan
This isn’t twitter. Not sure if you noticed.
Really? Shocked that I was lied to.
1st place is failing?
Ok Wade had his nice fluke year. DFA time is near.
Literally my dad walked over to me and said “SLUMP!” in a weird high-pitched voice. DOES HE FUCKING POST HERE?
I hope Wade’s wife refuses to have sex with him until he starts pitching better.
Then he needs to find himself a Mark Grace slumpbuster
Wade’s effectiveness has run its course
This game is not over yet. Its not like the White Sox bullpen is unhittable. And what has happened to Wade. Maybe he needs the calendar to turn to July, this month he has been awful.
Agreed
It really stinks that Baneuelos took a step back this year.
Girardi has raised the white flag Kay!
I’m pissed that this idiot fucking walked Viciedo. What a stupid cock.
Well it looks like Wade”s officially turned into a pumpkin. It was fun while it lasted.
Or a pile of shit.
Wade needs to be fixed. how do we do that?
Send to AAA
Well he has I think one option left… the problem is there really is noone to callup.
I think he is quickly putting himself on the list of first to go if/when Aardsma is ready – but that’s still a bit of a way off.
They could always call up Kont…. ummm, nevermind (I don’t want to get Mike Axisa fired up!)
Aardsma reinjured today
Wade turning into a pumpkin before our eyes – these homers to right handers are ridiculous.
It is too bad we play Tampa and Boston next week – hope our pitching is not in disarray and that we do not completely reverse the great work of the last six weeks by having a crappy ten days against the wrong teams.
It would be hilarious if we score 5 runs here and Wade gets the win.
Cliff Lee didn’t do too well tonight. Damn.
Well he’s a stupid piece of shit. Not sure why you would expect him to do well.
F him
And his fat wife.
Let him rot in Philadelphia.
Let’s win this fucker!!!!
And now Aardsma had a setback. GREAT FUCKING NEWS
Wait what? Wha happen?
Cursed
Is dj mitchell the next call up?
Not sure how much better he’d fare. Maybe as a long man?
TEIX
Yea. The corpse of mark texeira gets a hit
Die it Cano.
HR puhlease?
Useless
Dammit Jones you run like old people f*ck!
De-pumpkined?
Once a pumpkin, always a pumpkin.
got off work to run into this… craziness of a game. this thread/gameday is making me scared that stewart bats second at the bottom of the 8th… should i be scared?
Slightly disturbing
http://twitpic.com/a21prk
Thanks, I didn’t want to sleep ever again anyway.
c’mon grandy! i’m tired of my circle of friends laughing because i have faith in you!
…. as you strike out….
Just read through the thread from when I left work till the end…Really Athenian? our depth has failed after a pitcher major league debut. Jeez I hope you aren’t in a position of authority wherever you work that involves making decisions based on more than knee jerk reactions…also I did say the game was going to end with a football score. Sigh, still got the ninth at least.
Jesus they have some hard throwers in their pen
Argh. Grandy. A love/hate relationship. I love your homeruns but I hate your inability to hit for average and alarming number of strikeouts.
Cory Wade…he may suck, but he’s really taking one for the team. Coming up on 50 pitches.
Maybe he throws his arm out.
Dude don’t even…we have way too many injured pitchers as it is. We need all the healthy arms we can get. Whether they’re shitty or not.
Re-pumpkined
Joe G just doesn’t give a fuck does he?
50 pitches really?
About Wade? At this point? Zero fucks given.
I mean he didn’t think his team could come back from 3 runs?
Fuck it put swisher on the mound
Wade is approaching a Proctor level of futility out there today.
Wade’s last hurrah?
I know we are in Girardi give up time, but why not give Igarashi (he is on the roster no?) an inning?
he’s not on the roster, Phelps took his place
Ahhh… thanks… though it seems like he may soon be
not anymore.
Way to pussy out Martin.
WTF ARE YOU DOING THERE MARTIN?! BLOCK THE PLATE A LITTLE BIT! AT LEAST WITH THE GLOVE!!!
Are you guys serious? In a 5 run game?
With the prospect of Chris “starting catcher” Stewart, Martin should be nowhere near the plate…
Joe’s new LOOGY
I’m just saying If he puts his glove on the ground the runner slides right into it and he’s out. Instead he leaves the plate wide open. and goes for the chest tag, that only works if your on the third base side of the plate.
There just streaching him out.
Sox padding their stats.
This is getting really ugly.
It’s almost like, let’s just see how far we can sink tonight.
yeah…it’s been bad.
I prefer to lose this way, rather than a game like last night’s.
Yeah, last night was a heart breaker and head scratcher…tonight was just we got beat.
This is why Girardi is a good manager (and I was ripping him too after yesterday’s debacle). Wade is in a horrible slump, when (if?) Joba comes back, he is glorified mop-up man anyways, he should take one for the team. Tomorrow, we have Kuroda, and our main bullpen guys (Logan, Soriano, Robertson) will be rested. Sometimes, you lose the battle to win the war.
With our luck Joba and Aardsma aren’t returning this season.
agreed…but I think throwing in the towel when the lead was only 3 was a little overboard.
Agreed.
not much left in the pen that would be worth wasting already down 3 though. Maybe Eppley, but it would be his third straight game and probably make him unavailable tomorrow.
Eppley being not available tomorrow is not exactly a disaster.
The thing about keeping it a 3 run game (or at least trying to), means Venutura probably roles out his closer in the 9th (which makes him unavailable tomorrow)… seems like a good tradeoff.
Instead some schmo named Septimo soaks up the inning.
*rolls*
oh this is just getting silly now.
Why not put a position player on the mound? Don’t waste Eppley in a lost game.
You got your wish, Wise move.
Kay decieved me.
He’s done that to a lot of people.
Wow george is rolling in his grave right now.
I love Curtis Granderson, but watching him flail at the curveball in the dirt can be maddening.
I think I need to stop letting my mother use my laptop for extended periods of time. Seems lately that whenever she does, everything falls apart.
So, everyone can blame this one on me.
Buy your mother her own laptop damn it.
I’m currently unemployed, and I’m not going to use my severance money on anything frivolous.
My man
45 is throwing an inning as a Yankee.
Wise as the new set up guy!!!!
I smell a roster move or two tomorrow.
Igarashi will be recalled. But at this point, can Betances do any worse??? Just kidding.
I don’t think he can be recalled unless it’s for an injury. 10 days I thought.
True, but Wade (or Warren) may conveniently come down with a case of mysteryinjuryitis.
You may only need one move. Wade down, Mitchell up. Give Warren another crack on Wed while knowing you have the off-day on Thurs, you can use the bullpen liberally if need be.
Maybe Warren down but would they send Wade down too – he is now useless for a couple of days, I would think.
Not only is he giving up home runs at an alarming rate but his pitches look like they are just bgeachballs going to plate – he does not have lights out stuff so when he is off I guess he turns into a batting practice pitcher
I think Wade might be optioned. Both multi-inning guys are used up in Phelps and Wade. Maybe Mitchell will replace him.
DeWayne for President
Wise for #5 starter
Wise to the sixth!
Wade should be ashamed after watching Wise get out of the inning with ease.
Dwayne Wise made me feel better about this loss.
Dewayne Wise: AKA Fireman!!!!!
Hes better than wade
but he was laughing in the dug out CUT HIM!!!!!!!!
So tomorrow we still have
Logan eppley,robertson,soriano and wise
Bears top the Giants 14-7
Just got home and heard the recap on My9 14-7…REALLY?
Yes, really.
So, for those who love Pitching Wins as a stat, tonight offers our winner, Quintana, who gave up a stellar six runs in six innings, and our loser, Phelps, for one solo home run.
Phelps takes the loss? That’s kind of rough.
Couldn’t agree more. I was just going to write the same exact thing and how Wins (along with Batting Average) are the most overrated stats in baseball. How did Quintana get the W for getting rocked for 6 innings and Phelps who helped make it a game get the loss for giving up two runs. Stupid. The official scorer should have some discretion, especially for giving losses, even if the starter pitches 5 or more innings. A 9.00 ERA in a game deserves a win? Just like 6 innings, 3 ER or less (4.50 ERA or less) is a quality start? Dumb (off my soapbox)
Well…that was a tough loss. I’m going to go get high and forget about it.
Well, horrible pitching performances all around. Hope this isn’t the start of a trend with CC and Pettitte shelved. Better luck tomorow.
Need to get this off my chest………….Fuck the White Sox!
If there’s a worse way to lose than surrendering two homers to the biggest scumbag in baseball, I’d like to hear it.
only saw part of the game. did not see Cano’s great baserunning play.
good news is arod is still smoking the ball and may get to 80 rbi’s if he gets real hot.
wade is fooling no one….lucky binder boy did not want to use robertson to start the 9th last night…..
