Gardner is just simply not a good base runner. You would think he would be better by now but his instincts suck balls.
he obviously has a mental block , one would have to believe they, yankee org. have done all they could to work with him. what an all around weapon he would be
I understand that you don't want to take the chance of taking the bat out of A-Rod or Tex's hands but right now this team has absolutely no running game. Sometimes you just have to go for it.
freaky that all the guys you all want off this team are all coming up in a game changing situation 2nite .... you can't make this chit up!
I have stated in the past that Gardner cannot read a given pitcher. For a speedster, it is wasted on the base paths......especially trying to steal 2nd. He even slides too early into 2nd which actually slows him down.
yep, he slides head first into first base way too often as well, u r taught as u r running down the line watch the first baseman, if he jumps up off base for high throw, that is the only time u dive head first, so he can't swipe tag ya!!!! he dove the other day, got away with it on a big play, but had he ran through the base it would not even had been as close a play
thats a good win, yankee offense battled. pitchers did a good job, relievers awesome..... girardi has his hands full at SS & 2B. didi , saw when he came up with the ball he was going to handcuff tex, and ryan, YIKES!!
Didi is frustrating. Just when you think he came around he goes back to having his head up his rear. That being said I'll take these wins no matter how ugly they are. Even though I'd like to see some 8-2 wins instead of all these one run games.
