Game Thread Yankees vs. Phillies 6/24/15 1:05PM

...the thing that ticks me off about check swing calls is the HP Ump sometimes stubbornly refusing to ask for help from the 1B or 3B Ump when the batter/catcher/manager asks for it.

 

70 games in & now, knocked out of 1st, getting our asses kicked by the worst team in baseball, our so-called aces pitching like shit & now heading to Houston for a tough 4 game series, when exactly do we start making adjustments.

 

...I think this game is in the bag...Yanx dog it vs garbage pitchers but beat up on Hamels.

 

...after the first 25 games they were 16-9 ..........they are a sub - .500 team since then.

 

Note to trashman let somebody else overpay and take that ridiculous salary for hamels.

 

Ahh...that's why we play the games.
This portion of the schedule - imo - is important....BUT, it's not quite July yet and there is, and there WILL be time to make adjustments.
I know we all want them to be in first place NOW-; by 10 games........but they could be in first place by the end of June.....or within a couple of DAYS. Jeez.

Let's win today's game vs Philly and try and go 4-3 at Houston and Anaheim, or no worse than 3-4.....there's always an "answer" until it's too late.

Hang in there. lol. Pretend you're a Yankee player, or the manager,
are you going to throw things around and kiss it all goodbye on June 24, are you?

4-3 to finish up this 20 game stretch at Houston and Angels!

Something to look forward to.


This is NOT the NFL......almost three more months of mucho games to go.

 

yup....

not sure what adjustments will be made other than call ups. they arent shopping for rentals.

 

History repeating itself, last Phillies det in the Bronk the Yankees with Sabathia beat the shit out of Halladay. Then Pettitte & Brunett lost to JO's like Moyer and Kendrick.

 

...they've checked in on Cueto and others...(reportedly)

 

...lol...yeah,...exactly how does that address the question about the "adjustments".

 

Nova throwing a 2 hit shutout through 5 innings on only 70 pitches. I'm very impressed.

 

...^^^yeah, needless to say, this was sorely needed.

 

I became a Nova fan when he dusted Bautista during a Rogers Center at bat. Am in a bit of awe here, first real game off of the DL.

 

...Bautista, Papi, and a few others need to be busted inside much more often than they are.

 

Nova is back. Hitting 93 consistently, touching 95 and his curveball looks as sharp and crisp as ever. Now it's only a question of him personally maintaining poise and control on the mound. There's probably at least 20 other teams which would welcome him with open arms as their # 3- 4 SP.....at least. Lol

 

Agree, big time! What the fuk are these "pitchers" afraid of?
Don't they realize THEY are the ones holding the ball and in charge?

 

...and both Bautista and Papi get really pissed when you do throw inside on them...and often glare back at the pitcher...if/when they do that, I'd hit 'em with the next pitch. (depending on the game situation of course)

...a pitcher has to be able to prevent batters from digging in and diving in over the plate.

 

Great effort by Nova today!!!!!!!

 

Props to Nova, I hope CC & Pineda were paying attention.
