   Gardner starts the game off with a homer. He’s on fire.

   Ugh. Sabathia’s struggling. 4-1 Cubs. Yankees need to pick it up offensively.

   Yeah, Swish’s lefty slump is over. Come on Nunie!

   Uh, Maybe CC will do better…

   Oh, well, maybe that’ll keep the tension on our hitters. We gotta lick ‘em good.

   Couldn’t get the DP. 4-3 Cubs. OK, they’re in it. Sabathia up with 2 on.

   I enjoy watching CC hit, he hit that one pretty far.

   Hey, Professor. Whaddya think? Should they start to alternate Pena and Nunie?

   Nah, let Nunez play and see what you got. We already know what we got with Pena.

   He’s fun to watch. Haven’t had a good defensive catcher back there regularly in a while.

    Good knocks by Swish and Russell. Yeah, he’s outstanding behind the plate. ’tis a joy!

    Intentionally walked Nunez to get to Sabathia. I would loooooove to see Sabathia get a hit here.

    I dn’t like the DH theoretically, but thepitcher has been coming up at the wrong time too often, these last few days.

    There’s never a good time. It always finds you, often by design of the opposing pitcher.

    boy, Gardner is leading off an inning for the third time. I’m beginning to see a pattern.

    Get ‘em Brett!

    Did you see that K-zone demo on a breaking ball to Granderson? They said it showed the ball finishing outside, but it looked to me to go thru the box.

    [Reply]

    

    Professor Longnose Reply:
    June 19th, 2011 at 10:17 pm

    I can never tell, because the box they draw is 2D. I never know where the ball is on its way to the plate.

    smurfy Reply:
    June 19th, 2011 at 10:23 pm

    yeah, it might have broken before the cube that should show the zone, but they seem to lead you to judge by where the ball finishes, which surely is misleading.

    They should have a virtual strike zone, like the virtual scrimmage lines in the NFL.

    I mean, 3D ones.

    smurfy Reply:
    June 19th, 2011 at 10:52 pm

    yeah, the shading of 3d would make the offset plate easier to read, too. I’d settle for the dots they sometimes put on the K-zone to represent where the ball went “over” the plate.

    Sabathia is only at 88 pitches after 7.

    They said he’s making a bunch of throwing errors. He’ll have to learn a little control, but it looks like he has a good arm.

    This lefty, Russell, looked pretty tough on lefty batters yesterday.

    Martin got quite dirty on that slide. Did he hit the brakes too soon?

    He might have. He definitely looked better tonight on defense than on the basepaths.

    Who is going to pitch the bottom of the 9th? Think Mo, who was not warming while Dave was pitching, probbly has the night off. Cory Wade would be my choice.

    Nope – there’s Mo.

    Did you see Tex go with the pitch, hitting lefty to left in the early innings? A smash that Ramirez intercepted. Good thinking and hitting, tho.

    Heck, even Kei Igawa should be able to finish this out.
