RHP - Luis Severino (0-4, 6.31 ERA)

VS.

RHP - Steven Wright (2-3, 1.67 ERA)

We really need to see the 2015 version of Severino. C'mon kid, sweep the Sox.

Lineups to follow......
 
Watched Quick Pitch this AM with Big Sloppi skinning and grinning before yesterdays game. Guess he was thinking his bunk buddy Price was going to get it done, nice try. I'm rooting for Sevey today as well, want that kid to succeed. Go Yankees kick some turkey herders butts.
 
I grew up at a time when there was no such thing as night games over the weekend. This sucks.
 
Agree...game schedules, especially on weekends should cater to kids being able to watch/attend. Fri night and Sat/Sun day games. Maybe an occasional Sat day/night twin bill too.
 
Tonight's starting lineup......


LF - Gardner (239)
2B - Castro (295)
C - McCann (266)
1B - Teixeira (216)
DH - Beltran (243)
RF - Ackley (111)
CF - Hicks (132)
SS - Gregorius (235)
3B - Headley (169)

That was because lights had not been invented yet. They couldn't get enough people to hold torches....:cheers:
 
Me & a bunch of friends once played a night softball game using the headlights of our cars.

I agree. Knowing these 2 teams, the game runs through midnight!
...........and in front of a half empty stadium! That's how you promote baseball these days? You can keep it.

Just a note: First day the sun comes out in New York in 12 days and
they play an absurd night game on Mom's Day.

The Weather has been horrible in NY, glad the sun finally made an appearance. Now let's hope it will get warmer and The Yankees can keep their "Winning Streak" going.
 
Shit, talk about a sophomore jinx. And damn are we going to have to listen to this crew giving hugs & kisses to the Red Sox all night long? Showing Ortiz's meltdown they said, "I don't think we've EVER seen David that angry before" Apparently they must have been sleeping when he destroyed the dugout phone with his bat.

Ron I just can't believe how Severino has been pitching this year. Totally the opposite of last season.

...^^^Yeah, both he and Eovaldi have the stuff to be much better than they have shown thus far.

LOL I remember when he did that what a complete asshole.
 
High fastball.....Pedroia feasts on high fastballs.
The little prick. And I wouldn't mind seeing him on the recieving end of serious chin music.

He always looks as comfortable in the batter's box as any other hitter vs the Yanks.
I hope it was just a case of Severino missing the target instead of not being aware or told by the "staff" that Pedroia is a notorius high fastball hitter.
 
Nice rebound in the 2nd striking out the side. 5 Ks in 2 innings.
 
I don't understand why these idiots can't work the pitch count, it's pathetic.
 
The Yankees should just let Ortiz to the plate with a bat, ball and a tee.
 
Holy shit! these guys in the booth are singing the praises of Ortiz like he's the 2nd coming of babe Ruth.

Ortiz BTW: is on pace for 40+ HRs & 125+ RBI. for a 40 year player, Hell Barry Bonds wasn't even close to having this kind of season at 40. His best year after 40 was 26 HRs & 77 RBI. But I'm sure there's nothing going on with Ortiz (wink wink)
 
2 bad pitches by Severino but for the most part this has to be his best outing this year. 3 hits 1 BB & 8 Ks through 6 innings. Unfortunately our lack of offense has returned.
 
As I said about Ortiz. Five homers against the Yankees this season. It's an embarrassment.
 
The all time record for the most HRs by a 40 year old is held by Ted Williams with 29. Ortiz is on pace for approx 45. Gee, how does he do it?
 
1 hit through 6 innings is pretty pathetic.
 
Just got in and score checked, disappointing, Sevey with not that bad a line, but the offense took another coffee break. At least the Yankees got the series.

Interesting.
Ortiz began the season as a 40 year old.

Arod hit his 30th HR last season as a 40 year old and also hit his 30th HR of a season as a 20 year old.
He's the only player in MLB history to hit his 30th HR of a season as a 20 year old and 30th HR of a season as a 40 year old.


More seriously, and hopefully(?), this could be the season that gets Cashman canned.
Age has already affected CC and Arod and Ellsbury looks as if he's doing his best to prove he is "always" getting injured.
Personally I have let the string run out on Cashman until this year.
We all know I gave him a "pass" for the last couple of seasons.
I had no problem holding out regarding Cashman but as I said last year, if the Yanks take a step backwards in 2016 or aren't more successful - I'll personally pull the switch on him.
Anxious too see when or if he shakes up the roster and goes to the farmhands sooner than later.

But, I'm also one of the few who wouldn't mind cleaning house and dumping Girardi.
Just not impressed with his "style" of managing. Something's missing.

His "teams" seem to be too dam laid back, robotic and predictable.
Not EVERYONE on the team is 36-40 years old for crissakes.
