Glad to see this team get the win, credit Eovalsi, not dominant but hung in there against a good Detroit Team. Young, has been a positive since being added to this team last year, keep running him out there whenever possible. Glad to see this win after a disappointing loss last night.
 
I was hoping for a split in Tigerland. We are one win away from that goal.
I thought they'd be lucky to get 2 wins here. It's the pitching that has come to
the forefront. Good to see.
 
Eovaldi got lucky with the GIDP the first 3 innings. Getting solid defense behind the starter has been a rare event this season thus far.
 
All around you had to be happy with what you saw tonight.
 
...yeah, it was a good win vs a good team...a lot more impressive beating the Tigers as opposed to the Rays.

...something I was surprised by a bit, one of the guys in the booth last night was talking about all of the DPs and said that as of last night it was first time the Yanx had turned 3 or more DPs in successive games since 1972.

I'm guessing it was O'Neill, I like him in the booth.
 
Actually the Yankees have played Detroit tough in the regular season. '12: 6-4, '13: 3-3, '14: 4-2. Wins against Detroit are mor impressive than those against the Rays however living in this area and being a Yankee Fan I like to see the Yankees kick their ass. Price tonight, tough guy but we have seen the Yankees whack him good at times, Warren, I'm concerned. I'd like to see the Yankees get a "serviceable" 2nd baseman, get rid of any combination of Gregorius, Ryan, Petit. Keep putting Young out there as well.
 
Tampa has been a house of horrors for the Yanks for the past few years...and those Rays teams were never loaded with a lot of big time talent.
They had the pitching, and Longoria and Pena would always seem to hurt them with the usual "nobodies" chipping in.


They still have Longoria but Loney was hurt.
That guy has become an absolute Yankee killer.
 
Longoria should have been shown some "chin music" on more than one occasion. Still hate it when I see that video of game 162 2011 when the Yankees blew a 7-0 lead. When the Rays won that 2008 Pennant listening to all the "new" Tampa Bay Fans you'd have thought that Tampa Bay had 26 World Championships. Still remember Mo being escorted off of the Field by Jeter and Pettitte and in the midst of an ass kicking in their own park. Yep, I hate the God Damn Rays and my second favorite team is the one kicking the Rays asses. Did note that after this past series that Pineda has the handle on how to pitch to "Longo" Pass it on to the rest of the staff.
 
2-2 in a four game set in Detroit would be just fine.

That's baseball!
And the Tigers got lucky in the first game when Ellsbury hit a hard ground ball to 2b in the 8th inning, one out, with runners on 1st and 3rd with Detroit leading 2-1 for an inning ending DP. If the ball was a couple more feet in either direction it would've a 2-2 game with Yankee runners on 1st and 3rd one out.......luck? Luck?

Final score Tigers 2 Yanks 1

Play ball, and make the PLAYS when you get your chance!

Sometimes a pitcher can help induce a DP by throwing a low downward moving pitch.
But we all know this....don't we?

Eovaldi did a good job of keeping his breaking ball down in the zone.

Especially when Detroit was an absolute juggernaut when the Yanks were coming in. A shame the offense couldn't give CC 2 runs.

Yep, so far the Tiger juggernaut has scored 4 runs in two games.....but don't hold your breath, two more games to go with Warren pitching one of them. Lol

I think Warren could be pitching for his spot in the rotation, Girardi won't and shouldn't hesitate to remove him and put Rogers in the 5th spot.
 
Last time the Yankees faced Price in Detroit they whacked him pretty hard. I heard Price state on more than one occasion state he'd never be a Yankee because he doesn't like the Teams policy on haircuts and beards.

...yeah, recently the Yanx have fared fairly well vs Price...he hasn't pitched badly but it just seems that the Yanx' pitching pitched as well as he did.
