Beat Gia!

 

[Messiah717]

Flores sent down to make room for Ryan. Nova will make a AAA start shortly and then should be good to go.

 

[yankeesince59]

Flores sent down to make room for Ryan.

...damn shame.

 

[Rick2583]

...damn shame.

Part of Cashmans plan, send a promising kid down to make room for a no power 200 hitter.

 

[cagedlion]

The Plan sucks........as you all know with an exception
here and there.

Tell me about "the plan" and where it has less us up TO THIS POINT.

 

[yankeesince59]

...^^^ lol.

 

[blgridesagain]

...damn shame.

Agree.

And what is this garshdarn infatuation with Brendan Ryan?

I don't care what Ryan does today with the bat...looking towards the immediate future and long haul, why couldn't GJM play Gregorious today AND GIVE PIRELA a start at 2b today?

I believe Pirela is a "good" hitter and could be a very good hitting infielder.
He's a free swinger and needs ABs to demonstrate this ability.
Harms him to play very sporadically.

The future lies much more so with Pirela than Brendan Ryan.

Dump Ryan- Drew should be the "backup" SS giving DIdi a day off simultaneously giving Pirela playing time at 2b......and don't the Yanks have a day off tomorrow?

Pirela....being a good hitter, IMO , could very well make a difference today.


Just one of the "millions" of decisions a MGR makes during the course of a season.

 

[blgridesagain]

My apologies, didn't realize Pirela WAS in the starting lineup.
I still feel the same way regarding Pirela.

I apologize to GJM. He did the right thing IMO, giving Pirela the start at 2b.

Okay....nevermind.

 

[Messiah717]

When Ellsbury comes back I would imagine Pirela likely ends up getting sent down next.

 

[Rick2583]

I'd like to believe that if Ryan is hitting 150 & Pirela is producing when Ellsbury comes back that they would do the right thing.

Not much they can do with Ryan. Some genius gave him a player option for 2016.

 

[Messiah717]

Pathetic offensive performance today. Not to mention they can talk about Beltran raising his average but the guy is a singles hitter at this point. In key spots when you can use some power out of him he does nothing.

Not ridiculous for the Yanks to just release him and send him on his merry way.

Part of the "budget".

Agree.....been disappointed with his overall production WHILE being "healthy".

As of now, looks like he's lost ALOT since his last full healthy season.
(2013 Cards).

Disappointing indeed. Hopefully be somehow has a "good" 2nd half.

I agree Vic, 2 hits against a guy with an ERA near 5. As far as Beltran, I'd say the over/under of Beltran hitting a dozen homers this season would be under. And Eovaldi deserved better.

 

[Messiah717]

Yup, four homers from Beltran is pathetic. Chris Young has seven and Drew has nine for crying out loud. I'd like to see more of Garrett Jones in the lineup.

 

[Messiah717]

I guess Ryan really was excited to get back.

 

[Messiah717]

The dead comes back to life and it's 2-2.

 

[Messiah717]

Arod with a big two out double makes it 3-2.

 

[Messiah717]

4-2 going to the top of the 8th. Hopefully the bullpen can keep the win streak going.

 

[Rick2583]

Make that 4-2, everything going right for the Yankees lately & I'm happy Eovaldi got some support.

 

[Messiah717]

Make that 4-2, everything going right for the Yankees lately & I'm happy Eovaldi got some support.

I'll be much happier when Ellsbury gets back but they have done a good job. Things are certainly going right the last couple of weeks.

 

[totus44]

why did eovaldi start the 8th?

 

[totus44]

don't leave them up over the plate in YS kid.....especially to a lefty, tough lesson to learn. 4-4

 

[Messiah717]

Damn it!!!! That missed double play burned them.

 

[Messiah717]

If I'm going to get on Joe for anything this year his management of the bullpen has sucked balls. You waste Betances yesterday and then don't bring him in today in a 4-2 game.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Damn it!!!! That missed double play burned them.

Good old Drew, if he doesn't fuck you one way he'll find another. Of course part B was Lindgren giving up the bomb.

you have Harper batting 2nd in the 8th...why have Eovaldi pitch to Escobar in the first place? If he'd going to Lingren...let the kid start a clean inning. Pen mgmt has been less than stellar. Hmmmm...maybe that's because he doesn't have the right rotation????
