Pineda 2-2 2.05 vs. Shields 12-6 3.28 Tonight's lineup.................... Ellsbury Jeter McCann Beltran Drew (wait, batting 5th with a 164 average) WHAT THE FUCK!!!! Yeah lets get him as many ABs as possible. Prado Headley Suzuki Wheeler
...lol...ya know, a little research might just help; ...Steven Drew vs James Shields; BA .545 OBP .545 SLG .727 OPS 1.273
...small sample size, but still, it likely gives a little insight as to why Joe has him batting...plus the fact that Gardner is out, kinda cause the whole lineup to be altered. edit; Matsui, Nunez, and Cano used to own Shields too.
And even if its a lefty right thing hell let Suzuki bat 5th then, I mean he's only hitting over 400 over his last 10 games. Just plain dumb.
Gammons: Yankees “are claiming everyone” off trade waivers By Michael Axisa Via Peter Gammons: The Yankees “are claiming everyone” off trade waivers this month. That doesn’t necessarily mean they are trying to make a trade, they’re most likely blocking players from getting to the teams ahead of them in the wildcard race. The Yankees can still use some help with five weeks left in the season — another reliever, a right-handed bat, etc. — like every other team, but it seems unlikely they will make another trade at this point. They made their moves before the trade deadline.
LMAO.........................................................................................................................I don't get it.
At least over there last 10 games Ichiro is hitting 413 & & Prado is hitting 344, Okay Headley only 235 over his last 10 games. And yet they're all hitting behind the Ted Williams like Stephen Drew hitting in the middle of the lineup at #5 with his 156 average over the last 10 games. But hey with Girardi being as smart as he is I'm sure there has to be a few of the other 29 managers that put a 160-170 hitter in the 5 spot. I mean there has to be.......................................................................right?
