little league move

What move exactly?

 

[Pastafazul]

you alluded to it

 

[yankeesince59]

...lol...that should have been an easy play by Napoli.

 

[Pastafazul]

why isn't gardner hittting for young?

 

[Messiah717]

you alluded to it

Really didn't get it. 1-2 count I don't see why you're taking out a pitcher.

 

[yankeesince59]

...love those little league plays that work.

 

[Messiah717]

That's one move it's good he didn't make.

 

[blgridesagain]

Agree on allowing the 7th inn guy to try and finish the inning....not exactly a crucial Sept game and I still want to win the game......

....but why the hell is Betances throwing curveballs to a .109 hitter - Brantley- with two stikes on him with the tying run in scoring position?
Two bad things can happen - you can bounce one in the dirt for a wild pitch, or you can hang one over the MIDDLE which .109 hitters can "hit"....and hit it over the fence.
He should've challenged him with FASTBALLS up in the strike zone a couple of times.

Luckily he got out of the jam. ....but still, what was Girardi thinking when he removed Wilson while he had two strikes on the batter...why use Betances for a bunch more pitches before the eigth inning?....I know you want to win and go with your best available pitcher......on well....Yanks got out of it in any case.

It made no sense to me on a 1-2 count. Let Wilson get out of the seventh inning.

 

[yankeesince59]

...loling @ Swihart...the Sox are just a really bad team.

 

[Pastafazul]

jays win 6 out of last 7, they take over the yanks at some point, ohh my goodness , the cashman threads/posts are gonna set a Sports2 record

...the stolen base by Castillo had something to do with it.

If the Yankees win this game they will be 19-8 in their last 27.

Yeah but have some faith and let Wilson get out of it.

 

[Pastafazul]

THERE IT GOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Messiah717]

McCann busts it open with a three run shot. 8-3 Yankees.

...yeah, they might even overtake your Girardi bashing threads.

See ya. Good to see McCann getting hot again. Hopefully that leg is ok though.

 

[yankeesince59]

McCann busts it open with a three run shot. 8-3 Yankees.

...ya think McCann knew he got all of that one?...that's the closest I've ever seen him come to "posing".

 

[Pastafazul]

there is no better sound at a ball park, then the ball hittin the sweet part of bat, and the reaction by your teammates and fans...

Yeah love when one gets tagged like that into right field. Was like that game winner he hit on July 3rd.

The no doubters are fun when you're at the park.

So if I told you at the start of the season that Headley would be tied for the team lead in hits on August 4th you would've said?

 

[yankeesince59]

Yeah but have some faith and let Wilson get out of it.

...there was something going on that we don't know about...Girardi seldom goes out there without removing the pitcher right away...but he and McCann talked it over with Wilson...Wilson even nodded his head "yes" like he knew it was the right move...but whatever.

I always catch his post game presser so I'll be interested in what he says.

wyatt earp at plate for yanks

...I'd be just about as surprised to find out he's had the most ABs.

Nobody told him the mustache thing ended a while ago.

...terrible stache...looks like a damned fuzzy caterpillar.

He really took off when he moved into the second spot in the lineup. Nice to see him keep it up.
