The Yankees shift, and someone hits a dribbler through the standard shortstop position. How come the Yankee hitters can’t do that against the shift?
Ibanez and Nunez in the field at the same time…what do you expect?
Another 4-3 first inning?
So I thought the game started at 7 my time, what did I miss in the first for this to happen?
Nunez error. Hughes gave up a two-run single when the Yankees shifted and the hitter slapped a weak grounder right where Jeter would have been without the shift. Then another two runs on a fly to left that had a lot of hang time but Ibanez got nowhere near.
Girardi’s getting a little too happy with this rotating DH. I understand Alex and Jeter getting regular DH days but Swisher and especially Cano don’t, especially when it means Ibanez in the field.
I can’t agree more. Especially in April.
Cano especially has been a juggernaut when it comes to taking the field daily and he’s still in his 20′s, this early in the season I don’t need to see him at DH. I’m a little more understanding of Swisher but in that case I want Jones, not Ibanez, in the field.
How come the Yanks called up an eighth reliever — one who will never see innings except in the lowest of low-leverage situations — and not an extra outfielder to fill in for Gardner?
Ibanez, like Marcus Thames before him, should honestly not be allowed to play a defensive position for the Yankees. While Ibanez might’ve been an outfielder at one time in his career, he’s definitely not one any longer.
It’s an hour earlier there, right?
How you doin’?
For the Yanks, Granderson hit a solo homer, and Tex hit his first, a two-runshot.
It’s 6:50 here right now.
I’m good, these games haven’t been giving me the most enjoyable experiences lately but it’s still very early.
With Gardner on the DL Granderson staying healthy and productive, in order to stay in the lineup every day, is more important than ever for the defense.
You’re right. If the Yanks had a typical backup CF–good field, no hit–it would be a different story.
I’d be OK with Jones in CF for a short time but with Gardner out that would mean an outfield of Ibanez-Jones-Swisher, and that just can’t happen for more than a game at a time and be OK.
I would rather see Nunez than Ibanez
Agreed. Nunez stinks but Ibanez is worse.
I’d rather see Jones-Granderson-Swisher than Ibanez-Granderson-Swisher, even against a righthander.
Agreed.
agree
Safe!
Granderson is on fire. Damn. I thought the lefties would have a good day hitting fastballs in, but Granderson is going crazy.
Granderson’s on fire!
hope he saves some for Boston
How else will he hit 60 homeruns this season?
Maris’s 60 was a bigger surprise than 60 from Granderson would be.
Granderson is the kind of player you feel happy for when he succeeds beyond just being a fan of the team. He just comes off a genuinely good person.
Not only did Nunez’ error cost the Yankees a bunch of runs, but it screwed up evaluating Hughes’ game.
I’m done with Nunez. I’d rather have Ramiro Pena hitting .150.
Getting to be Butch Hobson-esque.
I think we can still evaluate Hughes, even with Nunez’s error.
He looked good in the 4th and 5th, that’s for sure. Then he hung a horrible change to Doumit in the sixth and showed us again how his change still hasn’t developed.
What I don’t understand is why he only throws it to lefties. Why don’t they call it to righties, so that there’s at least a little bit of a chance he’ll jam a righty with it, instead of leaving a fat pitch for a lefty to hit.
Pretty good outing from Hughes, but the pitch hit for a double in the first and a homerun in the 6th were terrible pitches.
Can’t say he improved his chances of sticking in the rotation.
The homer in the 6th was on a changeup. What was he pitch in the 1st?
Granderson coming up again. Would love to see history.
Come on, Rodriguez, get a run in.
Er, come on, Cano, get a run in.
Thank goodness they decided on the curve to Doumit. He had seen so many sliders, he was gonnaget the knack. The 2-2 one was another spinner near the middle of the playe, and he was just off blasting it. Same kinda pitch that was failing Kuroda last night.
Tex beat the shift! Tex beat the shift!
yep, he finally squeezed one thru.
Nice play by Robertson.
yeah! and nuney handled another. He blew his first play at second, then he’s been fine. (That wasa big error, of course.)
Ibanez looked shakey, but got back to the wall twice, successfully.
Yeah. But the two of them…it’s shaky.
Yeah, I do feel like Ibanez is a huge error waiting to blow a game. Nuney doesn’t have the same effect.
Ibanez has been hitting these last couple games.
Yeah, he has been hitting. He’s streaky. You don’t know if he’ll have enough good streaks to make a decent year.
Granderson! Granderson! Granderson!
He has to wait till he gets up there.
I’m getting in the mood.
ok, now. Curtis! Be our Grandyman!
I’m not disappointed. I’m just enjoying watching the guy.
Yeah, but we’ll take it! 5 for 5!
Mo!
-*Flying shrapnel from Mo’s efforts.
Game!
A good one.
See you tomorrow.
Nice! Still got our noses above water.
Big baseball weekend! Bumpdebump up to Boston.
Hey, Phil got the Win, no?
Can’t wait for those uniforms.
