With Texas loss this afternoon, the Yanks & Os tied for best record in the AL, not just East.
But Buster told me the Rangers were the best team ever.
Oh, sorry about that. It must be all those injuries. (lol)
Beautiful rainbow. That always favor the home team, right?
People really got caught up in the Texas hoopla. They’re a very good team. They’ll rebound. But they’re not what some people thought they were.
It favors the Yankees wherever it is, because it’s proof that it’s a Yankee Yuniverse.
A rare assist for Sabbathia.
Loved that underhanded toss. Great game, situation presence.
I hope they get some 1st inning runs off a tough, tough pitcher.
First RISP chance.
Double pump and Teixeira beat it out. That’s rarer than a Sabbathia assist.
Oh, man, just out.
The appropriately named E. Johnson made a nice play there.
Perhaps the most fascinating stat I’ve heard this season was revealed about 5 minutes ago on YES….that Carlos Pena has not put a ball in play in 112 plate appearances. WOW….70 Ks, 36 walks, and 6 foul outs. That means for those 112 PAs he has a zero BA but .321 OBP….these are real numbers, not hypothetical. My question is…is this a guy you want in your line up? It’s an interesting example to the guys who think OBP is more important than BA. I don’t want him on my team…you can reply w your opinion.
Well, I don’t want to get all wishy-washy about it, but…you can’t evaluate someone only on OBP vs BA. It’s interesting that Pena has 112 PAs without putting the ball into play, but how does that compare to others? I mean, if you added up balls-not-put-into-play, everyone has a batting average of zero, and most probably don’t have such a good OBP.
A guy with a .250 BA, a .350 OBP, and a .450 SLG isn’t as valuable as a guy with a .325 BA, a .350 OBP, and a .450 SLG. But usually you don’t get to make that choice. Usually it’s .250/.350/.450 vs .300/.325/.400.
If I remember correctly, Mantle spent 4 years of his career striking out and another 4 years walking.
He also hit over .350 twice and a lifetime .298 hitter….I would not compare him to Carlos Pena.
Bob Costas mentioned earlier that today is Thurman Munson’s 65th birthday.
At the time I was too young to evaluate baseball players in a sophisticated way, but I thought he was the greatest thing ever. I used to love watching him play.
Crap. Sabbathia isn’t dominating, and they’re going to have trouble against Price.
The relaxed/quick way Price snagged Swish’s comebacker, I’d say he’s got the mojo going, …unless a hitter can — ooh, Jonesey – break thru to pop it.
It really shows that they miss Gardner.
I hate saying this, I REALLY hate saying this, but at least the Sox are beating the Os.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
At least Price is throwing a lot of pitches.
Hit, you bums!!
Maybe they can wear him down by the 6th or 7th inning.
This is one of those kinds of games that the Yankees used to win more often than they do now. At least it seems that way.
That’s the second fly that I believe Garnder would have caught.
I’d probably agree. Lot’s of tough action for Nix, but also Grandy and Swish.
Now batting, E. Johnson (6 errors in 33 games), Eduardo Nunez’s twin brother separated at birth.
Weird game by CC, 4 innings, 8 Ks, but 7 hits.
It’s over. They’re not coming back against Price.
Just keep thinking, down 9-0 vs the Sux! Opps, the Sox.
He’s got the mojo going — but one hitter surprises him, and …
Coney points out on YES that CC’s slider is superb (the source of the k’s), but his fb to lefties has tended to drift into the middle when he’s trying to spot it inside to lefties (the source of several key hits.
I love me some Coney.
yeah — who’s with Costas? Love dat Kitty Kat.
Yeah. But I’d love Costas & either Cone or Boomer.
It’s over! It’s over! It’s over!!!
(Reverse psychology.)
Time to tie Lou Gehrig.
he’s got cause, that throwing error.
I’d settle for a single.
Come on, Alex. This could be one of your great at bats…
DAMN
0-7 w/RISP. Ugly. U-G-L-Y!!
that was a real battle. Price is really tough, has to be bushed. But so are we, or diddly anyway, shucks…
109 pitches, I wonder if Price will return. If so, no more than 6 from him tonight.
very nice play by Swish
Due up: Swish and 3 no-bats!
we have the highest paid player in history who can not hit in a big spot and the highest paid pitcher who can not win a big game..
How dare he have a fantastic at bat? What a jerk.
yeah striking out with the bases loaded was a great at bat, it will go down in history matt..what is he now this year 1 for 10 bases loaded.. he may even hit 20 homers this year..
Yes, A-Rod is past his prime and CC may be entering that phase, but they are not the main or only reasons the Yankees are losing tonight. And isn’t it just terrible that no other AL team has lost fewer games.
Opps, 3 swinging Ks! Not the best way to get runs. But at least they avoided those pesky RISP situations.
One interesting stat that, I think, shows at least in part how the Yanks miss Gardner, they are 0-12 when not hitting a HR, only team without a win in such circumstances.
Winning 2 out of 3 I’ll take all season long, but I HATE losing the 3rd game. See y’all tomorrow for the Mets!
see ya, Phil. Hey, if you look back, Coney made a pleasant funny: said Rodney’s cap is very deceptive. You think he’s looking in the dugout.
