In case you weren’t already convinced, the fact that Steve Phillips is against the idea should convince everyone that a 3 man rotation is the way to go.

I read ONE of the things that’s holding Joe up from deciding on a three man is the possible rain forecast for.

Bru, as much as I wanted Jorgie in the lineup for game 2 you can’t argue with the results. Sure AJ was a bit wild but he didn’t make any lethal mistakes and Molina only got 3ab’s, it worked out perfectly with Jorgie getting a big hit later in the game. I also love Cervelli on the roster because for a catcher he can run a little and his defense/game calling seem to be light years better than just another rookie.

Like I said earlier, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Game 2 made 7 quality starts in row with Molina catching, that should be enough for Joe because it is for me.

Bru, Cervelli will not be dropped and Molina will catch AJ. Let’s please not bring this topic up again but nothing has changed to make me think JG will change his mind about that battery. The ol’ if it ain’t broke thing…

———————————————————–

i dont need u telling me what to bring up

it is not a debte it is a decision that will have to be made

the media in talking with jg said the decision was not made & it will depend on who catches burnett

i dont know what is the right call

3 catchers is nice but not needed

do you want 3 catchers,2 lefties,guman

i personally would drop marte for guman at the very minimum & if posada catches burnett cervelli is a waste to have
& who catches burnett will decide that imo

if posada catches burnett no way girrardi carrys 3 catchers

girrardi might be affrid to take posada out of the lineup against the angels but i think he starts molina to make burnett happy & give him no excuses & then pulls molina for posada

I told you all!!! We had a very big pretend fight Sunday night (don’t worry, I did all of the yelling). I ordered Johnny to take LOTS of batting practice

Was this fight only about his lack of production or did you address his nudity problem?
****

Hahaha. It was the lack of hitting only

LOL America will never root for the Yankees over any team, so that was a wasted effort by the L.A. Times. How unprofessional anyway…..I didn’t bother reading it, but let me guess: payroll is biggest reason, followed by the fact that the Yankees are an inhuman monolith. Anyone following this team knows this team is amazingly likeable, but oh well…….

AS for the rotation, Friday’s weathe r looks horrible, so that may throw a rally monkey wrench into the situation. I really don’t want CC to go on 3 days rest at all – he’s not good against the Angels on regular rest and 3 days? No thanks. I do see the argument to be made, but unless the Yankees are down 0-3, I wouldn’t do it.
