Saturday May 3rd Yankees vs Rays

[Rick2583]

Tanaka doesn't seem to be at his best today, already losing 2-0 & 40 pitches in the 2nd inning.

 

[Rick2583]

As we go to the 4th inning the Yankees are still looking for there 1st hit. Hell....there 1st base runner. So far 9 up & 9 down.

 

[Rick2583]

Another HR from the Rays. now its 3-0 top 4 nobody out Tanaka already over 60 pitches. And after idiot Girardi used 8 pitchers last night I have no idea who's going to come in if Tanaka gets knocked out early. So far 3 runs, 7 hits & only 1 strike out.

 

[Rick2583]

After Ellsbury gets the Yankees 1st hit in the 4th Teixeira hits a 2 run bomb. 3-2 Rays.

 

[Messiah717]

Homers are good to get back into games but hopefully they can get the hits to win the game.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Man, I'm glad Joe Madden is not related to John Madden...!

I wouldn't want to be blitzed, time for the Hail Mary?

 

[Messiah717]

Gardner needs to stop watching two strikes all the timem

 

[Messiah717]

McCann is another one.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Stunned McCann watched strike two's change up inside go by....! Walk Tex to get to McCann, WTF?

The Ump is being to nice, toss Mad-den(sp?)- out for arguing balls and strikes...what's the Ump waiting for?-Ray-durs Nation? No not the Silver and Black...

Left 'em loaded, 0-13 w/RISP....WT-Heck. Time for Wiffle Ball Practice. (where one has to learn to hit any and everything).

 

[Messiah717]

This is a feast or famine lineup. Absolutely disgraceful to not come away with the lead in that inning.

Amen...I wish the Yanks would show a bit more hunger right about now...! Feast or Famine you hit it on the Head. Beast of Burden.

 

[Rick2583]

Tanaka really settled down in this game after a rough start.

Innings 1-3 he gave up 3 runs on 7 hits with 1 strike out.
Innings 4-7 he gave up 0 runs on 1 hit with 4 strike outs.


And I really like this kid Betances. 27 strike outs in 16 innings with a 1.78 ERA

 

[Rick2583]

Innings 1 through 3 = no runs & no hits.
Innings 4 through 8 = 9 runs & 12 hits.

I could get use to this.

 

[Messiah717]

I'm glad the bats woke up. Another loss today wouldn't of been good.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Two teams I hate to see the Yankees lose to are Boston & Tampa Bay. Yankees gave them a woodshed whacking today after last nights giveaway.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Has Tanaka set a Strike Out Record, for all 1st year MLB Pitchers, ie, his number of K's per his quantity of games pitched to date?



In other news: Dee Gordon had 5 hits today. Only Jerry Hairston obtained 5 hits in 1 game, in the history of the Bums.
Donnie likes Gordon alot and has said as much.

It looks like the Bums may not tender Hanley Ramirez a FA offer after this season. Freeing up Hanley to become Jeter's replacement next year. *** (personally I'm not real impressed with Dee, he was as error prone as Steve Sax, Marianno Rivera, who both couldn't throw to 1st base routinely, when in L.A.; not until they went to the Yankees, could they overcome their defensive errors).

*** I wouldn't tender H. Ramirez an offer to come to NY. Ramirez has been to injury prone. Sure his bat catches fire at times. He can carry a team, although he's not healthy often enough to really say he can do as much. Besides health, I think the Yanks could find a much better SS, both with glove and bat. Hanley is making a ton of cash. For that amount, they could damn near have anyone available at SS. I'd much rather see Tulo, even Stanton the Braves SS; as the Captain's replacement next year.

I'll add Tulo to my Santa Winter wish list, wait I already have. All I got was Coal last year, so I'm setting a Reindeer trap this Xmas. If I get coal, I will use it to cook Venison....

...this is why I don't like posting during games.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

...this is why I don't like posting during games.

I don't either care to post during the couple of Yankee games we get, if lucky.

I can't concentrate on the game and PC, at the same time. Can't chew gum and walk neither...!

Only time I usually show up to post, during a game. is when I don't get the game here, on TV. Only way here, to find out what's going on there. in the Bronx; on a game to game basis. Only the good people here are tuned into the game, lucky bunch...!

If I get the game here, I don't come to this smorgasbord, until the I hear the Fat Lady Sing.

To often than not, I'm a lucky sort to get those 2 games a week, maybe 2, maybe 3, maybe 1 or none, per week. Today we got 1 inning, MLB TV of the Yanks game. As MLB TV news was merely jumping from game to game.

In good, great years, so often we would get 5 games a week, month after month.

As you all know my DirecTv versus Time Warner Brother-Cable plight. To date, not but one inning of Bums games, only some Halo-less Angels. No YES channel without buying the whole enchilada of DTV Extra Innings.

I will never take getting every Yankee Game for granted again, dear Lord if you bless me enough to ever do so again, I swear I won't even listen to Bums games on the Radio. Thank You Vin Scully.

 

[Rick2583]

I mostly post during the games as a benefit to the others that don't get to see the games. This way I can kind of give them a verbal play by play on whats going on.

 

[yankeesince59]

There's several ways to follow the game. Simulated games like "game day" are everywhere.

...I also provided a couple of different links awhile back that allows anyone with a broadband connection to view virtually every televised live MLB game for free.
