Nova throwing a 2 hit shutout through 5 innings on only 70 pitches. I'm very impressed.
 
I became a Nova fan when he dusted Bautista during a Rogers Center at bat. Am in a bit of awe here, first real game off of the DL.

...Bautista, Papi, and a few others need to be busted inside much more often than they are.
 
Nova is back. Hitting 93 consistently, touching 95 and his curveball looks as sharp and crisp as ever. Now it's only a question of him personally maintaining poise and control on the mound. There's probably at least 20 other teams which would welcome him with open arms as their # 3- 4 SP.....at least. Lol
 
...and both Bautista and Papi get really pissed when you do throw inside on them...and often glare back at the pitcher...if/when they do that, I'd hit 'em with the next pitch. (depending on the game situation of course)

...a pitcher has to be able to prevent batters from digging in and diving in over the plate.
 
Props to Nova, I hope CC & Pineda were paying attention.
 
Nova's start was certainly needed. A strong Nova is big for this rotation.
 
Put Longoria on that list as well. The thing that I liked best when Nova went after Bautista was that he did it on his own accord. And correct, Bautista was flaming, like who are you to pitch me like that. Keep trucking Ivan!!!!!!

Yep. Yanks kinda "acquired" a pretty good pitcher today.
If Nova is healthy and "right", the Yanks gained another SP who is as good as just about any other teams' #3 -4 SP in this division....maybe better.
 
I'm getting my wish I wanted to see a VERY convincing win today & its happening. 9-0 now in the 7th.

I remember that and also after bautista said something to him nova came off the mound walking towards him at the plate ready for some action and bautista wanted no part of him. Nova is not a small guy.

...they've checked in on Cueto and others...(reportedly)

And dickhead trashman better not be giving up any young assets for veteran pitcher before he brings severino up here and gives him a shot first. The kid is killing it at triple A.

Another ump falls asleep and potentially misses a big 3rd swing on the check and instead of saying oh shit I blew that one compounds it by throwing girardi out while he was taking a drink of gatorade. I hate these incompetent rabbit eared motherfuckers. I guess they can't review that as it would be about the 2 millionth call reversed already this season by the incompetent boys in blue. Wonder how many their allowed to miss before they get their asses suspended or fired.

There's a Home Plate (on occasions), I've seen too much of in the NL, and I wonder if he's called any games in the AL. His last name "Winter", he's every bit as bad as Don Denkinger was. Winter calls strikes below the knees, (by a few inches at that), then calls strikes above the knees, balls.........worst fkng Ump in MLB right now, IMO.....He like Don, has called fouls HR's, reviews show otherwise, and HR's inside the Pesky Pole Foul balls, thank God for instant replay........
 
Another amazing thing about this game is that they've scored 10 runs WITHOUT the benefit of a home run.
 
Chintzy little infield hit took the perfecto, damn unlucky, that was the 2nd no no in a row for Estrada broken up. At any rate they beat the Rays so I'm happy.
 
I would really rather see us build from within, I sense a new core 4 on the horizon as long as Yankee brass doesn't screw it up.
 
Can they ever just close out a game easily?

...the thing that ticks me off about check swing calls is the HP Ump sometimes stubbornly refusing to ask for help from the 1B or 3B Ump when the batter/catcher/manager asks for it.

I've seen just that, several times the last 2 weeks, with Mgr's being kicked out of the game, for asking or telling the Ump to confer with the 1st base Ump, on check swings.....I know Donnie BB was kicked out twice in the last 2 weeks, & his catcher too, for this very reason......Don was ejected in the dugout, as all of Winters victims are more often than not, ie tossed while still in the dugout......


Now Joe......

and several others in prior weeks........Cash of Tampa Bay, was tossed for the same. I'm not sure, but it seems like Maddon was in a heated argument yesterday, with the ump, but I didn't see the final outcome.....

I didn't see today's game until the 6th inning. It's damn good to hear Nova is back and in style; I hope......

Just what the Yanx needed, as do several more teams, SP's.......a premium...!!
