RHP - Chase Whitley, (1-0 1.80 ERA) VS. RHP - R.A. Dickey, (0-3 5.23 ERA) NOTES: Brian McCann has struggled against Dickey in his career hitting just 188 (6 for 32) with only one RBI so expect to see Murphy in there tonight. Lineups to follow.
Whitley scares me. But just like Drew and /or Gregorius.....they can either pitch or hit well enough or the Yanks WILL call up maybe Mitchell to replace Whitley and move in someone else to play 2b..... My guess is, as long as Gregorius can show signs of improvement with his hitting moving towards the .230-.240 mark, and doesn't become erratic defensively.....he isn't going "anywhere".
Pirela has gotten a clean bill of health so depending on how Petit goes, Pirela could be the next call up.
I pulled hard for Whitley last year and he fell off of the horse. Want to see him succeed along with the other youngsters so the Yankees can put CC elsewhere.
Okay, Girardi had to be fucking stoned when he was filling out this lineup. Either that or he just felt like throwing a game.......... Cf - Ellsbury (351) LF - Gardner (320) DH - Rodriquez (241) RF - Beltran (batting cleanup with a 197 average) 2B - Drew (lets get more at bats for a 155 hitter) 3B - Headley (242) 1B - Jones (167) C - Murphy (263) SS - Gregorius (222)
I'm not so SURE. LOL I don't know WHY you act like you are THROWING IN THE TOWEL so EARLY. LOL IF Ellsbury can keep his BA above .350 ALL year, and IF Gardner can do the same I think ARod COULD hit 50 HRs and it will be ok if Tex hits below .200 IF he can hit 60 HRs. LOL Those guys will offset Drew, Gregorius, Jones, Beltran and some others batting .200. This offense will be ok IMHO. I think Betances and Miller can also sustain their current numbers and will finish the year with ERAs of 0.00. LOL Between them and the rest of the BP they will overcome the starters inability to go 6 innings. I HAVE SAID MY PIECE. LOL
Don't tell ME that YOU were one of the CHOSEN ONES that were ready to crown Greene with the CY YOUNG award after his 1st 2 STARTS? LOL LOL LOL
If if if if......., no, I picked the Yanks to win APPROX 90 games BEFORE spring training began... And the OTHER teams don't have any "ifs"? comedian. Don't go away mad, just go away. So, I guess you can pack up your tent until the Yanks are close to losing another 70 or so games? Isn't that YOU? So be it.....let it roll! Lmao
