Sunday nite baseball is dull. 3 hits and the Yankees win. Dull. 8PM start. Everybody on the other coast likes Eastern nite games.
Indeed, East coast games make my day. Nothing worse than watching a 7:30 PM, West Coast game, or Yanks in Anaheim/Oakland, Seattle; when living on the East Coast. Never will forget those 1-2 AM late night/early morning West Coast games, when work alarm clocks go off at 4am.
Mr. Nasty Splitty, had Prince Albert, and Mike-"I am not a Fish"-Trout's numbers. Kept those Red-M-Ange-ls bats silent...! I can't take much more of Mike Sciosa. The guy has driven me nuts for years now. I can't think of a Mgr. who has rested on his old laurels for too long now, and still kept his job. What kind of Bullshit is he feeding the Owners?
Looks like whenever Tanaka pitches one will be able to sit back and watch the game knowing that if he has a problem or two he'll fix it enroute and keep his team in the game. Per Joe Gs in game interview Tanka was a smidge off but he (Girardi) did not appear overly concerned.
I guess Joe feels he has one Ace for Cruise Control. MLB TV showing Mr. Splitty's Strike Out total is within Strasburg's range, for most K's in a Pitcher's first few games. On another Note, Prince Albert interviewed prior to game time, asked: "are you going to make adjustments to Tanaka"? Which Pujols replied: "no he can make adjustments to me"...! Guess Albert didn't get the film reviewed, he said he watched...Ooopppsss Albert, a bit arrogant? heck, I'd of said the same thing, ...... a player has got to have a touch of eloquent arrogance, not show the fear in his eyes, on the contrary. Their is no substitues for INTENSITY. Albert does have one of the better Instense Looks, I've seen in this modern era.
