RHP - Ivan Nova (2-1, 3.70 ERA)

VS.

RHP - Kendall Graveman (1-5, 5.84 ERA)

NOTE: Rodriquez is now not expected to be available until Saturday at the earliest. During his absence from the team (15 games) the Yankees have gone 9-6
 
Yankees record vs Oakland since '13 is 6-16 to include being swept in New York this year. Billy Beans scrap heap reclamation products beating the shit out of Checkbooks high dollar back in the day heroes, Pathetic!
 
even with Miller spotting the D'backs a HR in the 8th, (brought back memories of the 01 Series, game 7, Mo' vs Gonzo)....

I've got to say, seeing Betances-Miller-Chapman come into the game(s), is a real treat, the only prob is getting to the 7th....

no one can say the Yanx don't have perhaps the greatest Bullpen in MLB, at least with these 3; - yet middle relief dominance would be a nice touch, ...
 
Tonight's starting lineup.........Vic you got your wish, No Teixeira.


CF - Ellsbury (278)
LF - Gardner (240)
DH - Beltran (245)
C - McCann (268)
2B - Castro (283)
3B - Headley (207)
1B - Ackley (140)
SS - Gregorius (238)
RF - Hicks (208)

Girardi has replaced the 200 hitting Teixeira with the 140 hitting Ackley. I'm sure there's some logic here.................. somewhere.

I'm sure there's some logic here

Ackley starting over Tex- could simply be a case of a mgr "benching" a player who has been stinking up the place with his bat down to .203, going 0-5 last night with 3 K in favor of ANY OTHER warm body for tonight, while the player who is being sat down has been recently personally called out by the owner.

Whew! glad I was able to say all of that without losing my breath.

I have no problem with the mgr benching Tex.

Has gentleman Joe pretended yet Tex was getting a night off because he was "a little banged up" ?

That's usually a cute little excuse for nice guy mgrs.

who in the fk would name their newborn- "Coco Crisp"..? Maybe Count Chocula and His Wife- Betty Crocker...

Good to see Ellsbury continue getting on base, nice bloop hit. Jacoby has to stay healthy, for this team to succeed. He's on track to have a good year (stat wise), a .341 OBP this yr., .343 combined Lifetime...
 
And that moron Gregorius strands another one. Add him to the list of those who need to go.
 
^^^He really needs to cut down on his swing. He's taking cuts like he's trying to hit the ball 500 feet.

His birth name is Coveli Loyce Crisp. His sister nicknamed him Coco when he was a kid. And when joining the ML he put down that his nickname was "Coco" and it just stuck. So much so that he legally changed it to Coco in 2013.

with a name like Coveli Loyce, I'd change my name too...! :bgrin:
 
Hey beltran only a professional baseball player making zillions. Why the fuck would he be expected to know their are 2 outs and he should have scored standing up instead of going 2nd to 3rd. Should have his ass yanked from this game.

we need the revolving door policy after 4 weeks of nada.

I once thought with Ellsbury, Gardner and DD, this team would easily steal >120 bases. I was only fooling myself, wishful thinking...

WTF is going on here?
Last night Headley gets a brain cramp and allows a runner to score from 3rd with the infield playing in and now Beltran forgets how many outs there are which costs the Yanks a run- in a 1 run game! Every little league 3rd base coach must be laughing.

I know Beltran is an old pro but I wonder if ML "coaches" still hold up two fingers to remind runners there are two outs?

crissakes
 
Fk, is this going to be another see who can have a better LOB/RISP no Ribbie's game...?

bases loaded, stranded like the doo dah man.....wait, no, that's 'truckin'...

yee haa!
whoa nelly!

If our biggest problem is Gregorius sucks w/risp, then this team is far worse than expected.
Chalk up 90 losses!
:cleanup:

With this fucking group wrong is right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
every point of failure belongs to, and creates a greater systemic failure, ... 1 guess who?
 
geezus, base running 101 not taught here?

DD got out of the BBox, lollygagging like Cano, otherwise he'd of beat the throw to 2nd, but no, DD is not a problem....YFR....!
 
Blunder on the bases, this should have & could have been a huge inning. First Headley gets picked off first & than Gregorius gets thrown out at second trying to stretch a single into 2 bases.
 
Gregorius- wtf are you doing? Headley getting picked off....Beltran's earlier baserunning blunder...

This is one team which cannot afford to play dumb baseball and have their heads up their asses. I don't care how poorly a team is playing, no excuse for this and GIRARDI better nip this shit in the bud and make his voice heard- one way or another.

Headley is getting on my nerves....especially after last year's debacle.
 
Old Merle Haggard line " I've been pitching horse shoes, over my left shoulder" the Yankees did a lot of that per the recaps and post game video I saw.
