Severino (3-2, 2.04 ERA) VS Price (14-5, 2.43 ERA) Lineups to follow... CF-Ellsbury LF-Gardner DH-Rodriguez C-McCann RF-Beltran 3B-Headley 1B-Bird SS-Gregorius 2B-Ryan
Let's take a moment to remember the fallen on the anniversary of 9/11/01. As a fellow New Yorker, I will never forget exactly where I was when this horrific event took place.
You're a sweetheart Lil, thanks I'll start it up tomorrow. And yeah, this day still haunts me as I worked not far from that area & remember the day like it was yesterday.
I was at work in Harrison, NY not far from the city and I remember thinking I was going to die because I kept getting phone calls from everyone telling me about another plane that crashed. I worked in one of those high rise buildings. A friend of mine passed who worked in The World Trade Center. Sad.
Given this day being what it is it sure would be nice to see the Yankees come up with a win. Line is on Toronto, article on ESPN states that without Tex & Eovaldi this Team can't win.
Just to add something, after going 0-2 over his 1st 3 starts Severino is now 3-0 with a 0.98 ERA, 16 strike outs & a 209 opponent batting average.
Every team has injuries. While they're big loses it just means other guys need to step up. Sevy needs to lock it down tonight because the way it's going right now who knows if we get much of anything off Price.
'78 Yankees won the World series minus Chambliss and Randolph because Dent and Doyle stepped up. Can we see that from Drew and Ryan highly improbable.
Hey Vic I screwed up again, Did anyone notice it doesn't say Game Thread....lol That's 2 days in a row.....It's time for Rick to take over.
You need it from guys like Ellsbury, Gardner, Beltran, Arod, Bird, McCann, Didi, and Headley. If you're looking for the ninth place hitter to carry you in September you might as well give it up now. Still plenty here that need to step it up and get the job done.
Eovaldi being out certainly isn't good but most of the time it's the offensive slumbers that get this club into the trouble. Even with an overworked pen the pitching all and all has held together pretty well in my opinion.
Tonight is a really huge game. Getting a win by any means necessary is needed. The winner of this one has a huge advantage if you consider the chances of a likely split of tomorrow's double header. Get tonight's game, split tomorrow and then setup a big one on Sunday.
Drew and Ryan were the only two I could campare with Dent and Doyle. Yes the others will have to steep up ditto the staff.
Has anyone but me noticed that after going 9-12 raising his average from 192 to 211 that the old Drew has returned going 1 for his last 15? I hope he can help the team down the stretch since Girardi seems to love the guy but it wouldn't surprise me to see his average drop back under 200 by season's end.
