During his last outing vs da Cubs; was beat up with 3 Walks, 5 Hits; 6 Runs; 3 of them Earned in but 1 2/3rds IP. Hope he doesn't last but 2/3rds of an Inning in da-Bronx... on the other hand- Tank shit the bed; and beat his own ass with a paddle; losing 2 games (Angels; Snakes) and giving up 9 Runs; 8 Earned for a 7.45 ERA. Both Pitchers need to prove they're worthy of calling themselves MLB Pitchers with hair on their balls.... or pine tar- or sweat or Vaseline; even Mr Zoggs; whatever it takes....
PS- I hate to say it as much as I like Andu-it-Jar; but the way Gio's playing 3rd; could this be the next Wally Pipp scenario. Whatever Trashman does; he'd be a fool to even consider either one at this time in any trade or demotion. But Gio's Defense is mmmmmmagnifico. As for BaBoone; is he even capable of making that kind of decision? When to play Miggy; or Gio; or where to play whom. As guys come of the roster things will change; hopefully for the better; tho' this team is looking good for the most part less a few moving parts. Tulo (my hero) is looking very expendable these days. Can Andujar or Gio learn how to play 1st as a backup to the Voit Exploit??? Bird should become totally irrelevant. Will Trasham force feed us more Fowl; just to gamble on improving Birds trade value; hoping he can bring his B'Avg up to the mendoza line???
Seattle as a team with 70 bombs. Biggie, Tanaka, and Happ have given up a total of 21 bombs to opposing teams. Cause for concern no doubt, all three see action in this series. One down, with Loaisiga in the mix.
Urshela at 3rd, Andujar at DH is the ticket. At one time a River Avenue Blues Article that was pro Manny for 3rd move Andujar to First. Manny (Thank God) didn't arrive, Bird started flunking the course and Voit is in. We'll see what happens.
LeMahieu -2B Voit -1B Sanchez -C Andujar -DH Frazier -RF Torres -SS Urshela -3B Maybin -LF Gardner -CF
Mr Splitty and Sancheeto will make for an entertaining game. How many passed balls will we see tonight??? Sancheeto is down bound and determined to set a record four passed balls and errors. He is 1 already, ALL TIME in passed balls/errors I like the idea of Andujar as DH. But what to do about Sanchez???
Shaky inning for Tanaka, could have been real ugly. I am following on game cast but the trajectory lines shown for batted balls indicates they are hitting him hard.
Tanaka could be a #5 starter with his mediocre stuff. For that matter so could Happ & most everyone sees CC as a #5. Gee, you think Yankees are on overload with #5 starters?
OMG. Gardner fucked that fly ball .......into a single! My arse! How about a ground ball DP. I do not think he has a sinker......everything is hit in the air.
Yankee Doodles Pony having a great time filling Tanaka butt with lucky horse shoes this evening. Offense needs to get cracking and score some runs!!!!!!!!!!!!
No production from the 3/4/5 hitters for the 2nd straight game. Yankees making that Seattle Pitcher look like Cy Young!!!!!!!!
