RHP - Ivan Nova (4-3, 3.10 ERA) VS. LHP - David Price (10-4, 2.45 ERA) NOTE: In his last 3 starts Nova is 3-0 with a 2.65 ERA. He needs to come up big today. CF - Ellsbury LF - Young DH - Rodriquez 1B - Teixeira C - McCann RF - Beltran 3B - Headley SS - Gregorius 2B - Ryan
Yep, they whacked Price around pretty good when he was a Tiger. Yankees need to improve on that 2-5 record.
The individual BAs in the lineup as a group aren't looking so feeble lately and they have as good or better tandem of productive HR/OPS guys as most teams in the league and three dangerous HR hitters (with McCann) esp at Yankee Stadium. They're sending out a SP With a 3.10 ERA...... Not too shabby- let's win one today. And this player➡Chris Young has been a great addition as a backup outfielder for a team who has two LH hitting outfielders. Almost the perfect type to have when the Yanks want to give one of their LH outfielders the day off vs a LH SP. His numbers vs LH pitching: .358 BA, .418 OBP, .670 SLG%. 1.088 OPS A pretty nice "deal" made by Cashman for 2.5 mil (?) si? no?
...glad they sat Drew...and sitting Gardner in lieu of Young though neither have had much success vs Price.
I recall the year Toronto's Homer Dome first opened. When the CF Hotel was not yet open for business, and approx, 90% complete, (at least the beds and blinds were in place; when the TV Camera's caught a Couple doing the Horizontal Mambo, in the Hotel, with the blinds wide open. The Camera got the shot clean, then pulled out, and execs were apologizing left and right, from both the Jays Org, and MLB's Camera Crew............
The Yankee offense has gone from tearing it up to completely inept. Certainly the wrong time for this.
Congratulations Nova, you are the next pitcher in the failure to go past five innings marathon you stupid son of a bitch.
With the bats sleeping you can forget about this one. Nova ruins his day with a terrible hanging curve.
