I want to see Super Nova the stopper tonight!
It would be nice to see Nova stop a losing streak. Someone has to hit Young hes pitching at batting practice speed
Wowwww look at those numbers with RISP!! Jeez Cano…be a bit more selective up there mann
Soooooo FRUSTRATING!!!!! One thing’s for sure, anyone on first faster than Ibanez should steal. Young is VERY slow to the plate and Thoule has only thrown out 25% of runners.
Nice 1st inning for Nova, 8 pitches, 7 strikes.
Why is Ibanez on the team? Him Garcia and Andruw do not help in any way shape or form. We can throw Wise into that group too. Your telling me Ronnie Mustelier can’t do what they do except provide better defense? Or Chris Dickerson?
I agree completely about Wise & Garcia. Ibanez is a very streaky hitter, he’ll get hot again, especially if they could keep him off the field. Jones, I’m up in the air about. He has power that’s for sure. What I’m worried about most is Gardner and whether we will see him again this season at all.
Wise is a great defensive replacement, and both Jones and Ibanez are potent if not on it now. Dickerson is a good defensive man? Maybe Mustelier? Will he hit, or catch?
Gardner’s injury sure seems weird, to drag on healing, when it seemed a side issue. Maybe a repetitive injury thing?
I get the feeling that tonight is one of those games that the Yankee batters will take until the third time to figure out Young.
I don’t know whats more frustrating. RISP fail or every single goddamn starter HAS to give up a home run every single start
He hit a good pitch. Can’t get too upset about it, plus no one on. Nova looked sharper this inning than last inning. But I can understand your frustration.
…..baffling
How can I get Obama to call a drone strike of the Fox Sports booth at the game. Not only to I have to listen to Dumb & Dumber call the game, but the last half inning they had Charlie Sheen on speaking nonsense. I didn’t think anyone could show up Buck & McCarver on that score.
Errors are contagious
When did Nunez become the fielding instructor?
Poor super-Nova: nothing but bad calls (buk-buk), big errors by sure hands (except for Robbie), a homer on a pitcher’s pitch, splendid small balling, can he yet win?
He’s a bulldog.
I still have confidence in the Yankee bats coming alive late in the game, 6th inning onwards.
Not if the Yankees keep allowing Young to get out of innings after throwing 10 pitches. I know it all looks hittable guys but thats because it is. Wait for one you can really crush. Just…ughhh this looks like stuff I see at batting cages. Not that I am anything close to even a minor leaguer but cmonn
Maybe if I don’t watch them hit. Im gonna run out and grab myself a sammich. Maybe they’ll do better?
make it meatball
Definitely not chicken!
Third time facing Young. Now start hitting guys!
nah, we wanna build the tension. You like an exciting game, right?
No, I prefer boring games where the Yanks win 15-0!
Son, you have the rare privilege to say that.
Go, aYankees!
-uhh! Does ignominy accrue to young Ivan for that? The pitcher?
I just don’t know why you through a FB to a pitcher!
I don’t know, except Ivan hasn’t been able to hit them down the middle all night. Oughta bench that guy.
wow, the early pull! But, but, why? He gave up a hit to a pitcher…
Nova wasn’t great, but he pitched well enough and kept the score close.
I simply cannot figure out how Rapada & Eppley get anybody out, but they do.
ahahaha don’t make it chicken. Funny stuff. This is crazy frustrating. Hahaha nice foul tip by Tex. Hit em where it hurts!
It’s pathetic when a walk signifies a rally.
Tie game!
Someone say rally?
OMG!!! Once again I’m having an LSD flashback, I though I just saw a hit w/RISP!
It was a home run, and we know home runs are bad, so it doesn’t count.
Hey Professor, how’s your MiL doing?
Recovering from the initial attack; now she has to have a bypass. That’s good news; it means there’s viable heart muscle and function could come back. Keep your fingers crossed for her, and thanks for asking.
Yeah if it was a bases clearing single the media would’ve been happy. This only exacerbates the problem…
Amazing how stupid story lines just keep propagating.
If the Yankees can’t win a battle of the bullpens against the Mets, then…
I don’t know how to finish that.
wtf happened? I wwent outside to see the fireworks, when Ivan was pulled, and I come in now and Ibanez ties the game with a homer!
The Yankees hit too many homers thats what happened. *sigh* I hope they fix this problem soon
I love how Chavez fixed that problem.
Yup!!! Looks plenty fixed now hahaha
Would have been foul?? What the hell is McCarver talking about. The angle is the same, no matter where the fences are.
yeah, he musta been talking about the slice, the curve, but he’s fulluvit.
Oh, I get it–since they were slicing, they may have had time to slice.
You said it a lot better than McCarver.
McCarver can talk, but he lost brain function from his playing days.
Yankee dugout is really happy.
yessir, this is a big game to win.
Not won just yet but it will make tomorrows game that much more intense with this series tied
I have a feeling the Yankees will really tag Dickey. He’s due for it.
That would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
I hope so. I have a feeling theyre gonna beat the ball into the ground untill the third time they see him. Then theyll smack him around some
I heard that, but was that you or Phil C?
Now the Yankees need a shut down inning.
I hate all this talk about how many runs are scored via the HR. A run is a run. If they were hitting league average w/RISP that percentage would drop significantly.
If Ibanez and Chavez hit singles then the game wouldn’t be tied. The best outcome of an at bat is a home run. How can you have too many of the best outcome possible?
Gardner wouldve had that…
Logan the Loogy…sounds like a mythical beast.
Wow, that was some fancy LOOGYing.
he loogyed the hell out of them.
Great pitching by Booney. The defensive has been terrible tonight.
Oooh, that Foster’s speaks Australian for girl.
Hhahahahaha
oh, you’re just saying that because they always favor the young, skinny ones.
Something the Aussies and I have in common
not them. They are young and fine, and they don’t know what they are missing.
Woww who were THOSE two???
indicus americana (unlatin for native beauty)
I hope this is the Robertson of last year coming in to pitch.
Yeah it will interesting to see if hes fully back. First real test now
the break on that ball tells me he is.
Sure looks like last year’s curve.
nice steamer, stightly in, then out.
Looks like the same old Robertson to me.
Not the same fastball control
I bet he was avoiding. unsure, as yet.
would be Justin’s turn. The hero…
but Houdini tricked him.
This is the Roberston prior to 2011. I think he’s still a little rusty. Still have faith he’ll shut them down.
Got me on the edge of my seat here.
Prior to last year that was typical Roberston. Ks & BBs. Inning over.
Yes!
OK, 30 runs in the top of the ninth, just to ease my anxiety.
I’d love seeing that happen, but I might end up having to hop a plane and strangle McCarver if it did.
That would sound great on the air.
HA!
Got him!!! Sit down hahaha God Robertson sure is fun when he comes through
Excellent to see Robertson jamming him. Like Ivan, he will benefit. But nothing like the high hard one!
It’s the Playboy pitcher!
he is an all american boy, but he’s got a cute wife who organizes charity. Not exactly Playboy material.
The name. Hefner, as in Hugh.
Hugh-dini?
I demand insurance runs.
ok, that’ll be a premium of 39.99, daily.
With Wise up I think that demand is falling on deaf ears
Os & Rays have both lost tonight. The Yanks can expand the lead.
I dunno, no good to feel comfortable. But, OK, we could, could…
Heading into the heart of the order. Time to earn that 13 million a year. Wonder if this year makes Soriano more or less likely to opt out? And which would you guys prefer?
Since he’s already under contract and since who knows how well Mo can come back, I’d prefer stay. Great depth in the pen.
I’d probably keep him, if I had the money.
Stiff backs can be worrisome.
Yeah I’m worried. Didn’t this happen to him last year as well?
who are you referring to?
Martin and his lower back stiffening up.
Soriano just refuses to do 1,2,3 innings.
All the dudah day, and all the dudah…..good night!
Nice slider to Duda.
Love them come-from-behind wins!
Woah, I was sure Murphy had his first in a year. Joy to the world, and Nick gets the honor.
That’s it. Night, all.
Good stuff. Time to head out for the night. I guess after the commercial tonight I will be having a Fosters
Chat ya’ll tomorrow night.
