KURODA 6-4 4.20ERA VS GONZALEZ 4-5 4.22ERA
 
Kuroda moves to the head of the class. The rest, well, are 4 or 5 starters, if that.
 
It looks like a 2 run output and about 13 hits.
 
what's going on in the game, the TV score card has shown a 2-2 game in the 10th inning for what seems like an hour, maybe not updated, rain a factor....someone enlighten me please, or not.....
 
played the game for many years, had many coaches, every once in a while a good coach steals one way, with a wise old move or a crazy decision, something!!!! too many wasted great efforts go by some yankee players, betances, go by the wayside cause we just don't have that coach!

You played the game for many years but just post the same repetitive drivel with no substance. Where in this game would you of liked something tried to steal the game away as you put it?
 
...^^^ glad someone gets it.

...you'd think that someone who claims to have played the game for many years would have at least learned a little bit about the game.
 
Here is what I learned from playing the games, Unless you have a starting 5 of Gibson, Seaver, Guidry, Koufax and you fill in the 5th starter, you going to lose most games when you score 2 runs or less. Oh, and one hit in the last how many innings will get you too. This team is an average team at best.

I'll add that 5th starter as Marichal....or a ton of other greats....

One thing I've noticed as a constant common thread in MLB Series Teams, or those who go to the LCS, usually advance, by=

The Teams who win the most 1 run games, and the Team who has the most come from behind victories, 9 times out of 10 win or go onto Series Play,

...........

(as much, so many of these type of teams, share the same 2 dynamics [1 run game wins and most come from behind victories], in their seasons.
 
sorry, i call it as i see it, and of course i see it differently cause of my experiences. it's funny how personal attacks come to a poster and not where it truly belongs, not surprised!

and mess lol, everything is repetitive, NO?

also, don't you think i have taken into consideration the injuries, the this and that!!! give me a break already, phelps earned that win the other nite but of course overmanagin joe takes him out, and the bottom falls out once again..

ever here of a thing called LUCK? it comes to those who are good at what they do when things are all wrong, u c it happening with the yankees in any way shape or form?


had to edit post cause i had to make sure the substance included in this post is of the most clear and simplest form for "some" of you to understand.

have a nice day!

You mean the luck the Yankees have in paying Tex $20+ million to hit .235?
 
It is a sad day in hell or this living room, sad day in the Bronx, sad sad sad, when our #1 starter is a 40 year old vet....who's seen better years, amazing Kuroda is still going (decent for a 40 year old)....

He should retire tho' after this year, and return to "The Kuroda Institute of Western/Asian Higher Learning"....yep, that's a legit Org. Not sure if he's a relative of its founders, The Venerable Late-Taizan Maezumi's; brothers-Kuroda.

Some traditionalist Japanese, take their Father's last name, some their mother's, as in the case of Maezumi, otherwise he'd of been a Kuroda.....those f'krs think way over my own head...!

Hokay-Grasshoppah...!

"The vastness of the Moon, can be seen in its entirety in a dew drop", exc: "Moon In A DewDrop"...
Gassho-Konnichiwa.....Hiiiiiiiii....!
 
i'm talkin about coaches who can still win with all the adversity... girardi obviously can not, he does have ring on his resume, and we now know the truth behind it, AROD was allowed to take peds...

glad u brought tex into this cause once again, if we had a coach with cahones, tex would be hittin .300 every year if he sprayed the ball around! didn't know tex was the 2nd coming of babe ruth!

...ummm, Phelps was by no means dominant in that game and actually Joe and the Yanx probably would have been better off if Phelps had not even been allowed to start the 7th inning. Technically, he only pitched 6 innings, threw 103 pitches, allowed 10 baserunners, was staked to a 3-0 lead, and proceeded to give up back to back singles to lead off the 7th inning...but according to your "experience" Joe should have left him in.
 
Without a Pitching Staff to speak of, not even Stengel, or any great Mgr. could keep a team competitive, on top, or dominating......like trying to ride a bicycle with blinders on, no handle bars, and no pedals either......only can go down hill, and steer with the knees.....

A metaphor for Gerardi's daily trip in pursuit of the AL East Pennant, then some....

Whatever happened to supporting Joe, I can't forget the praise the old ESPN Msg. Board Posters had for Joe, when he won NL Mgr. of the Year Award in Miami....yep, there were plenty of Gerardi fans and Yank Fans giving Kudos, for our ex-Backstop.....where the hell did they all go....:confused::wub::dunno:
 
its funny cause i read this stuff and not 1 of you seem to realize that no one in the east is dominant, yet nite after nite being in most games where the team has a chance to win, we lose!




MO & AROD made girardi, girardi can't do a thing on his own

...lol, "Girardi can't do anything on his own"...yes, because what you don't seem to realize is that Girardi can neither pitch nor hit.

...and the term "dominant" was used to reference Phelps and had nothing to do with parity in the AL East...derp.
 
no 59, what girardi is supposed to do is get his players to perform, regardless of what the name is on back of the jersey, to the best of their abilities! they are after all prpfessional athletes right?

how does a coach like popovich continue to win regardless of who is out on court...maybe cause he holds his players accountable, tough love, and his players pay him back by playing every game to win, its called respect! girardi , players mite say they respect him, but they don't cause he babies them! for example tex is out 2 weeks cause he tweaked his girly wrist, he plays 3 games in a row and on the 4th day when the yanks are finally gettin something going, he decide tex needs a rest...
 
...no way someone who claims to have played the game can be so clueless about the game in general...it's mind blowing, actually.

...and "popovich"?...that's your answer to the question I posed about the "mythical coaches"...you point to a freaking BASKETBALL team?




...like I said, the absurdity is "mind blowing".

My exact sentiments 59, ....... Gerardi can only do so much. Players regardless of inspiration, motivation, discipline, will do what they will, regardless of Joe..... Joe can't hit for them, pitch or field for the players...!


Hell with the Pitching Injuries alone, its a damn wonder our Team is not 10 games out of first, give Joe some credit already....

Joe won his Mgr. of the Year award, not cuz he babied anyone, definitely not because he brow beat them either; because he knew how to get the most out of his young Team, and get them to perform to their maximum capabilities, not the other way around...... Joe can lead his horse to water, but he cannot make them drink, that's on the players, not Joe...!

It's so damn easy to play armchair Mgr.; another to do the job literally. Easy to sit and criticize, to damn easy.....

One of a Manager's tools, is Discipline, the distinction b/t a good Mgr. and a Great one, is one disciplines, the other teaches players Self Discipline, which yields far greater accomplishments, short and LONG Term....!
 
sciosa, maddon, leyland, showalter, these are the coaches players play for, not a coach who bans ice cream from the clubhouse.. these are the guys who will put 1 under your chin, guys who use some strategy, not a rah rah clap your hand and pat u on the azz...

every single coach that has been fired in any sport accept full responsibilty, they don't blame players or injuries, thats part of the game, they know they are hired to be fired!
 
...lmao...like I said, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, and have not even a basic concept of the game and what managers do.

...according to your logic and your so called "experience", the teams that your "mystery coaches" manage, should win it all every year because according to you, coaches have a bigger influence of the game than the players do...if that's the case, please explain for example, what happened to Scioscia last year?...what happened to Maddon this year?...what happened to Showalter in 2011?...and what happened to Leyland in the PS last year?
 
its funny 59, you were the 1st poster that said i had no idea what i was talking about when i said girardi/pena calls pitches from dugout... i told the story about our roving pitching coach who called every pitch in a game when it was not done b4, game was over in an hour 40 min. pitcher pitched complete game, nobody could believe it, coaches do make a difference!

don't see anywhere i posted that those coaches i mentioned should win it every year, but i will tell you 1 thing for sure , every ball player thinks about their style of coaching, i don't see any opposing player threatned by ours!
 
...how can I word it so that my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued?...ahh, I got it,...you're delusional.
