RHP - Masahiro Tanaka, (4-3 3.17 ERA) VS. LHP - Brett Oberholtzer, (2-1 2.81 ERA) STAT OF THE DAY: opponents are batting 240 against Adam Warren this season, the lowest mark among Yankee starters. Lineups to follow....
At this time I see Tank, Pineda, Nova, and Warren as top rotation dogs. The rest can fight it out for 5th place or the pen whichever comes first.
I doubt I will get to see today's game, (this is getting to be a problem)..... My Mother In Law is coming over in an hour or 2, or 3, to visit, have lunch, and see our new pad...... Damn it, last time I saw My Mother In Law, was on the backside of a Milk Carton....who the fk found her.......? It's gonna' be a very long day...... I dug last nights game vs Velasquez, I watched that kid pitch a couple times last year, only 9 months ago, on Closing Day, and for the CA Lg. Championship; which they (Lancaster Jethawks) Won, 2 out of the last 3 yrs, this is what damn good scouting brings.....even tho' he got the loss, ya' gotta' admit he threw a helluva game for a 23 yr old kid........Welcome to the Bigs....... I told my Dad then at the game, "This Kid is on the fast track to the Majors, no doubt, 99mph consistently"............I read He dialed back on the speed, to gain some control...... why can't we draft kids like this one, not bad for a kid who pitched only 11 innings prior......... Our Team, needs to shit can both the Farm Director and Scouting Director: Gary Denbo and Damon Oppenheimer..........ASAP.......
Today's lineup................ CF - Gardner LF - Young DH - Rodriquez 1B - Teixeira C - McCann RF - Beltran 3B - Headley SS - Gregorius 2B - Pirela GO YANKEES!
This is DEFINITELY not the same Tanaka they signed to the big contract. He's not fooling anybody. First 2 batters, a walk & a single.
That was some bush league bullshit. Young takes him over the wall for 6-0 & on the next pitch you throw at A-Rod. I'll tell you, I loved that CC came out of the dugout & had to be held back.
