RHP - Michael Pineda, (7-3 3.74 ERA) VS. RHP - Jose Urena (1-2 4.44 ERA) NOTE: Since Pineda started the season 5-0 he has gone 2-3 with an ERA of 5.40 in 5 starts. Bad offence + bad pitching = well, you see it. Tonight's lineup........ LF - Gardner 3B - Headley C - McCann DH - Rodriquez 1B - Jones RF - Beltran SS - Gregorius 2B - Drew CF - Williams Teixeira getting the night off.
Meridith Marokovichs just had a pre game comments & HOLY SHIT! that woman is getting huge. She's got to be 200+ easy.
Pineda with a no hitter through 5 but he's thrown 82 pitches, it'll be interesting to see what Girardi does if this continues. I mean he could have over 100 pitches by the end of the 6th inning.
my timing is impeccable, b4 it happens i'm saying no way 2 runs score on that, and dumazz kay says arod doesn't have speed he used to have????? henderson would not even have attempted to score on that one hop blazer, get rid of entire coaching staff
Its times like this that I miss baseball from years ago. Pineda was just taken out of the game after giving up his 1st hit in the 7th inning. I'm guessing it was because he reached 100 pitches BIG FUCKING DEAL!! I would think as a coach your first question would be, "Do I have anyone in that bullpen who could pitch just as well or better that what my starter just gave me?" and if your answer is a resounding no then leave your starter in. I mean hell there were 2 outs, at least let him finish the damn inning. 100 pitch count is a damn joke today.
ANOTHER head scratching decision made by Girardi. in a 2-1 game why wouldn't you have Teixeira pinch hitting for Jones? I mean you'd want Teixeira in there anyway for defense in a close game in the next inning. Makes absolutely no sense.
The Yankees had the lucky horseshoe up their butts this evening. Kudos to Pineda, pitched a hell of a game, but the offense sat on their collective cans again. Like Eovaldi Jones sucked against his former team why am I not surprised.
