This could be interesting.......

RHP - Michael Pineda, (6-2 3.36 ERA)

VS.

RHP - Felix Hernandez, (8-1 1.91 ERA)

Tonight we really need the Pineda that started the season 5-0

We also get to say hello to our old friend, the light hitting Robinson Cano.

...going against King Felix, Pineda better bring his "A" game".

 

[blgridesagain]

Yanks win tonight, (if), they have a fair chance to salvage the road trip(3-4?).
Now that I've said this, Hernandez will probably throw a 3 hit shutout.

 

[blgridesagain]

Flores isn't a bad little player....looks to be a defensive asset and if he shows he's NOT an "easy out" he's in the mix for future considerations.

Yeah, I noticed, Drew back in the lineup but my guess is "GJG",
(Gentleman Joe Girardi) is just taking a little heat off Pirela vs Felix and he'll be back in the lineup tomorrow.

I believe the jury has returned it's verdict to GJG on Drew......I hope.

 

[Rick2583]

That inning had so much hope. but what the hell, I'll take 2 runs.

 

[Rick2583]

Holy shit! they're pounding the hell out of the king. 7-0 now after Teixeira's grand slam.

 

[blgridesagain]

Bang! Tex salami - 7-0 Yanks.

good

 

[blgridesagain]

Holy shit! they're pounding the hell out of the king. 7-0 now after Teixeira's grand slam.

And Pineda is pitching very well again for the 2nd straight game and looks like he's recovered from his little bump in the road. Very good news!

 

[Yankeefan5545]

You knew Pineda would probably pitch well but with this offense against Felix, well shit what a surprise. Lose three of four to a shit team like Oakland then kick Felixs ass, well we'll take the W.

 

[yankeesince59]

...somewhat surprising win vs one of the top pitchers in the game...I'll take it.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Xlnt game, the Mentor has been shown up by His Prodigal Son......!!!

A rare feat, to see King Felix being sent to the showers and guillotine, 70-43 at home, .603 Win Pctg.......

 

[Rick2583]

Finding out that Hernandez was Pineda mentor I now see where he got that stupid askewed hat look.
