Senor Sanchez does not disappoint!..........again. The kid has substantial power.

 

[mrmel29]

And pineda begins his tiring shitting the bed act earlier than usual.

 

[mrmel29]

Can't remember the last time I saw a catcher pick off a runner on second throwing from his knees, What a cannon this kid has.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Pineda is a God Damn time bomb. 456 is his time to set off at every start. CC and Pineda have made those 230 240 Tampa Hitters look like bona fide sluggers.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Sanchise seem's to have it all so far. All 5 tools, then some extra one's for Catcher's only...

I can't believe Pin Heads hat, he must of gone to a Chiropractor, its straighter than ever, but he looks like he still needs a major adjustment...like Nova in Pittsburg...!

Wow, you've got it down to the Minute Michael, bravo..... and you called it too.

 

[Lillie]

I can't believe he gave up 2 straight HR's against this Lineup. Now we are in a Rain Delay. That's just great, another late night game.

Speaking of Nova saw him on quick pitch this am, doing well for himself down there. Glad he's no longer in New York.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Refsnyder needs to get more playing time at many positions. I believe this kid could be a super utility player if given all opportunities to do so.

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^Yeah, Nova is doing very well for the Pirates...he's been nearly unbeatable.

 

[yankeesince59]

...Toronto and Baltimore both down by 3 runs in the 6th inning.

...^^^ I saw that bit too, and Amen, let those find their groove elsewhere, if they can't win in YS, the Crown Jewel of MLB...

 

[Lillie]

Grand Slam for Teixeira, 7-2 Yankees.

 

[yankeesince59]

...Tex with a grand salami.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

I said come on Tex, do something big here, boom, about time!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Damn it Joe, watch Pineda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Lillie]

He will implode sooner or later. Cap looks a little straighter tonight.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

I will be damned of all hitters Tex gets the Granny Downtown...

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Piney can't even go five, those kids like Mitchell, Cessa, and to a point Sevey will have to come up huge if the Yankees are to be successful in this final run.

 

[Messiah717]

I think Girardi was sending a message to Pineda. The guy is lazy.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

I think Girardi was sending a message to Pineda. The guy is lazy.

I got that same feeling, when I was reading about Joe getting on Castro for getting out of the box slow, sometime last week, no more Cano's....! Clean it up, or ship it out, would of been a fitting message...

 

[mrmel29]

Johnny Bench

I keep saying thats who this kid reminds me of.

 

[cagedlion]

Pitching for the Yankees is their sore point. It always is a mix & match effort to get to the game's conclusion.
Tonight is no different. Yankee fans have been hearing for several years that the starters must pitch six
to seven innings in order to save the relievers. Tanaka is their only starter to pitch into the later innings.
CC & Pineda just cannot get there....... my guess is that both are not in prime condition. Relievers on this
team are also having a tough time.......thank you, starters.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

at this rain delay rate, ya'll are going to be eating breakfast, when this game ends.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Yep, with the Prima Donnas and Slackers gone and a bright eyed bushy tailed young cadre its a new day on the '16 Yankees and a return to the past when it meant something to put on those pinstripes. Right now Yogi can handle that 8 on those uniforms.

 

[Messiah717]

Close this one out and they will be one game behind Detroit and Baltimore for the second wildcard.
