RHP - Michael Pineda (1-3, 5.73 ERA) VS. RHP - Yordano Ventura (2-2, 4.65 ERA) What Michael Pineda will show up tonight? Lineups to follow............
Tonight's starting lineup..... LF - Gardner (240) 2B - Castro (297) C - McCann (286) DH - Beltran (252) 1B - Ackley (143) CF - Hicks (170) SS - Gregorius (229) 3B - Headley (174) RF - Gamel (200) GO YANKEES!
Now lets just hope Girardi has enough sense to keep him in the cleanup spot even when Teixeira returns,
Honestly, its not getting easy to think of a team in the History of MLB (in our liftetimes), with more men LOB and with RISP stranded, than this years Yanx.....
on the other hand, how the mighty Royals have fallen.... no way do these guys look like the defending world champs, also with 10 men LOB...
A 3rd Royal just got hit tonight including Cain in the 1st inning after hitting 3 HRs yesterday. I'll be curious to see if they finally retaliate.
this more than sums up the State of the Yanx Union... Congrats btw- to Beltran for his 399th HR... Pineda can't finish: Pineda did an admirable job of settling down after the first inning, and with No. 9 hitter Jarrod Dyson due up and two outs in the sixth, the Yankees trusted the right-hander to end the frame. Instead, Pineda jumped in frustration as Dyson blooped a soft single into left field on Pineda's 114th pitch. A one-run deficit soon became three as Nick Goody entered, hit a batter and then lost a hard-fought at-bat with Cain. Cain is devouring the Yanx single handedly, well almost, with a bit of help... I give up; on hope of Mr Crooked Head ever becoming a worthy Yanx starter, or pitcher fkng period....
