TIQ IQ
I think you mean Colby Rasmus not Colby Lewis. Pretty weak looking lineup.
Whoops. Thanks for the head’s up.
THE I DON”T GET IT DEPARTMENT: Baseball analysts who say Mike Trout should be the MVP because he’s had the greatest affect on his team. They point out how the Angles took off after his promotion. But they forget that in the 92 games since, the Angles have only closed the gap on the Rangers by 1 in the loss column. I think Trout is the MVP at this point, but NOT for the affect he’s had on his team.
Go Yankees feast on the BJ’s pitching & fatten the lead before the coming home stand vs. the Rangers and the Evil Empire.
I’ve heard some analysts on MLBN who spout stuff about the Yankees that was true a month earlier. And they really get wound up talking about young outrageous eager rookie talent. Of course, he did spark that team, but its pitchers haven’t cooperated well.
nice quickness, Jeter!
Zip-zip after one! Good to see that Granderson’s getting a rest. Going to need him fresh vs. Rangers.
Mojo sniffing around. Nix’s bunt was so bad…
that we got a sloppy run!
If you didn’t hear Ken Singleton, Phil, he quoted Jeter’s 1st inning performance: in 104 ab, he’s hitting about .375, and scoring about .250! 27 runs!
I know he’s been raking leading off the game. Is that scoring rate good?
ridiculous. A great year is 125 runs scored, over 600 ab, a little over .200.
Was the run scoring rate of 25% for just the 1st inning? That should be higher than for all at bats.
really? The Yanks have a much higher first inning scoring rate this year, is it a general rule?
What I mean is that when someone gets a hit leading off the inning, there is a higher probability of scoring a run than when there is 1 or more outs. So a leadoff single should result in more runs.
I leave it to you to refine the stat. It is a terrific leadoff performance, or not, your point is valid.
Ooh, there’s a quick counter-tally. Yaqnkes better keep their bats warm.
Looking over GameDay Summary, bases loaded, one out? Damn they should have scored more runs.
No shut down inning by Freddy.
LOL at line score, Yanks 2 runs, 1 hit. BJ’s exact opposite.
yeah, they fritzed it a bit, I think. Was cooking a snack.
Swish’s hit is no fluke: he hit three hard liners last night, that I saw.
Live Look In on Gameday. What the hell was the BJ/s 2nd baseman doing on Tex’s grounder. Saved a DP.
didn’t see it, sorry. What happened?
Tex hits GB to let of SS. He fields it. 2nd base guy stands there and watches. No on covers 2nd. Swish get 2nd on fielders choice, or as I would say on 2nd baseman’s brain fart.
How do you score a brain fart? BF? Or CH4?
It’s completely optional.
pretty lame, can’t imagine what he was constipated on. Maybe he saw a really pretty girl?
I’m going to watch some Olympics. I’ll be back during commercials or during incredibly boring events.
Why do they have to rest Granderson and half rest Teixeira on the same day? Sending up Ichiro and McGehee with the bases loaded wasn’t putting their best foot forward.
Girardi knows that Freddy can handle it. He doesn’t need many runs (tic)
That Girardi, he’s ahead of me again.
A weaker opponent, so he could better afford to play some right-handed batters. Maybe true bounces, easier for a Tex-sub. Guesses.
Good trivia. What are the only three teams to win multiple World Series since 1950 without losing a World Series during that time?
Marlins, Cardinals, Giants
The Giants lost a World Series in 1962.
Did the Blue Jays lose a series? How about the Tigers?
Don’t know.
The Blue Jays won two, and I don’t think they were in more.
Damn, lead is evaporating!
Clutch K by Freddie, but he needs this third out here.
Got it. Nice, on a drive to deep pitchers mound?
Trivia answer: Marlins, Blue Jays, Pirates.
Nice inning, Freddie. Economy.
Three innings w/o scoring vs. Romero? That’s disgusting.
Both teams are in a quick-out groove.
The Yanks should be hammering this guy.
Why is Freddy out?
I don’t know, unless Girardi specifically wanted to see Joba.
Yeah, Robbie covers a wide range on popups. Terrific.
Teixeira’s getting hot.
alright, Tex. Looking mighty strong.
I love returning during the commercial and seeing that the Yanks have added a run.
off the glove and then off the noggin.
come on, Ichi. Ducks on a pond. Yeah.
He (used to have) the best ability to get a hit when needed. The Yanks must have been thinking of that in relation to risp woes.
I love late-inning runs (by the Yankees, of course).
Me 2. And 2 out runs.
Come on Joba, pitch good. (or is it well?) Save having to use Robertson & Soriano.
Oh well, it was a good thought.
Joba’s slider looks much better. The single was lucky placementm hit at ankle height.
Rajai, the jitterbug.
I’ll trade the run for the DP.
Packing it in early, guys. See you tomorrow if I can.
see ya later
Nighty nite
nice breaking curveballs.
I’ll take a 6-3 lead going into the night. But not opposed to a few more Yankee runs.
Come on guys, hammer the carpenter
Has Lawrie been out since he hurt his leg on that dive down the camera well?
On the DL now I believe.
that was probably the injury. Their visit to YS July 15 was certainly costly.
Let me shed a tear…..done.
I am sorry to see such an aggressive player hurt himself. I suspect the presence of Jeter may have been working on him.
I’m not glad he got hurt, or Bautista (What a freaky thing that was).
They are lucky his bat couldn’t take it.
On slo-mo I see it was label-hit. Went most of the way.
Swish sure hit his double well. He’s gonna get hot.
I bet Toronto has ended many a players slump this year.
He hit 3 smashed liners at fielders last night, Fielder’s big play was the third miracle.
I like that, Fielder was one of the fielders. Downright poetic smurfy
not to mention miraculous.
Whoa, the Blue Jays are feeling like the BJ’s right now.
7 runs in the last 2 innings…..sweeeeeet
I guess Epply comes in?
I suspected Rapada, but knew not of the two lefties due up.
He always has to do 1 or 2 batters, so it’s a good chance for him to stretch.
Looks like the BJs will be the only AL East team to lose tonight.
What, did MLB declare there MUST be one balk in every game?
In honor of the Professor, I’ll complain bitterly of that stupid technicality.
Feast one completed successfully.
Chat ya tomorrow smurfy
Couldn’t do much to the floundering Romero, but another W, as you say.
