Nitpick Alert: I don’t know how I feel about the bottom of our order with Martin behind Posada.. I think I’d rather have Jones there.
I thought Posada might get a rest & Chavez might play at 3B with ARod as DH. I was wrong!
Shame Spencer April 5th, 2011 at 3:42 pm
Does Minny have any LH relief pitchers? Maybe Jones gets PR for late in game.
Shame Spencer April 5th, 2011 at 3:42 pm
I’d like that too! LOL!
I’m just glad there was no GTLU today. lol
I don’t understand the order of the bottom 3 at all…
I thought Posada might get a rest & Chavez might play at 3B with ARod as DH. I was wrong!
———————————————————————————————
This is the biggest advantage of not having Jorge catch.
His hot bat stays in the line-up. I bet you if you asked him he’d say he’s up for 162 games this season.
are they trying to run Russell Martin into the ground?
Jeter batting leadoff. And Granderson batting last.
a captain/team player. lol
Yes!
Questioning the line-up.
Almost guarantees 7 or 8 runs…
Ray – Good point. I’d actually have liked to see Gardner again tonight because he’s been so close to getting a hit but it just hasn’t worked out yet. Then again, a day off could be just what he needs. I just hate Andruw ‘I incorrectly spell my name’ Jones.
Martin has been swinging the bat well….breaks up the righty Lefty.
Hope Andrew begins the process of proving me wrong today.
“I don’t understand the order of the bottom 3 at all…”
—————-
Both Jones and Jeter hit lefties well, so Granderson is sandwiched between them.
“are they trying to run Russell Martin into the ground?”
——————
This will be his 4th game in a row. Not a big deal for a 28 year old catcher.
He will get tomorrow night off and Nick will have 25 bucks in his pocket.
LGY – makes sense. In my head it seemed more likely they would leave granderson at 7 and martin 9, with jones between them… Accomplishes the same thing and possibly gets Granderson an extra AB over Martin. Nitpicking of course
What wonderful problems to have.
Thought Martin might get the day off today with CC on the mound….guess they want to give him tomorrow when the rest of the regulars are in there.
I would have thought that with CC going, they might give Molina a start, and rest Russell the Muscle. Might be a combination of Martin feeling good, and Joe not totally trusting Molina. I’d think at some point they’ve got to give Martin a rest, though.
Not a good sign for the Cubs. Cashner was removed in the 6th inning. Trainer went out. Doesn’t look like blisters. They didn’t look at his hand. Arm seemed to hang rather limp walking to dugout.
Makes sense to schedule rest for Martin against RH pitching, the lineup is a bit weaker against lefties already.
I believe wear and tear on a catcher is more cumulative than immediate.
A young-ish catcher in good shape in early April could probably catch weeks in a row without any noticeable effects. It’s the long-term you are guarding against.
I suspect the Yankees will ride Martin fairly hard until Cervelli comes back and then give him (Cervelli) plenty of PT for a while to give Martin some rest and recharge the batteries.
Martin isn’t going to fall over dead if he plays 5 games in a row.
If you rested Martin tonight you would have to do it on Thursday as well, because Joe doesn’t like playing his catchers day game after a night game.
Bet 1 or 2 regulars get the day game off Thursday so they get a breather before the Boston series.
I think Girardi is starting Martin to try to at least split the series tonight. If we win tonight, Molina will start tomorrow night I’d bet.
As for Jorge, his bat speed looks to be one of the main beneficiaries of DH’ing. Keep him in there while he’s hot.
Rain is now off the coast. May still be some sprinkles
GreenBeret7 April 5th, 2011 at 3:54 pm
Oh no!
May be precautionary, Ray, but, looks more than that.
Report on Cashner is tightness in pitching shoulder.
There will be no rain during the game at all. Or so I’m thinking/hoping.
Hopefully Jeter gets some good fortune tonight.
Go Yankees!
I had it mostly right, top 6, Jones and Martin playing, just the bottom 3 in a different order. I guess Joe is not fully buying Granderson’s success vs lefties quite yet.
Martin is fresh, dont see a problem with him playing 6-7 games in a row. He most definitely will get a breather on Thursday, and I would bet Posada gets a breather tomorrow with A-Rod DHing and Chavez at 3B.
We are used to having a broken down catcher needing breathers. Martin isnt broken down…yet.
Chavez could be a pleasant surprise this year.
The questions about Martin have nothing to do with his conditioning. It has everything to do with the knee and hip injuries that plagued him the last couple of years.
Not sure Girardi is really going to want to push it by riding Martin so hard the first month.
plagued him the last couple of years.
This is patently false, do not base your assumptions of Martins health on this.
Martin hurt his hip last spring, which most likely led to the knee problem that required him to have surgery.
He does not have a history of being injured.
Granderson batting last to add speed on base , helping to minimize the chance the next batter-Jeter- hits into DP.
Molina will probably catch tomorrow when Garcia pitches.
should be an interesting game in Colorado tonight with Kershaw pitching for the Dodgers against Chacin.
GB7 – very much looking forward to that, hope the ump is stretching his “K” arm.
Hopefully, Granderson gets on base a few times and runs wild.
Didn’t quite a few people here freak out a week ago because Russell Martin could only catch a few games a week and Molina was going to cost the Yankeesa bunch of games?
No surprise….
the annual focus on the Yankees perceived weaknesses in Spring Traning was so far, mostly for naught.
If you want to get technical, the knee and hip certainly plagued him last season. And he didn’t start playing behind the plate until a week or 10 days after the ST games started.
It’s not meant to be a knock on him at all. Just that it would be a good idea to make sure his knee and hip can handle playing that often.
Much like how Girardi handled A-Rod in 2009 and 2010.
“The questions about Martin have nothing to do with his conditioning. It has everything to do with the knee and hip injuries that plagued him the last couple of years.”
——
It’s a fair concern.. but I haven’t seen anything to suggest that Martin isn’t at or closeto 100% – fortunately.
Is it wrong to secretly watch the game on my iPhone under the dinner table tonight?
My friends had the nerve to schedule dinner and drinks on game night…
BD
just make a lot of trips to the bath room
If the yanks continue to swing the bats and score runs, Martin will get his rest especially the day after a night game.
Interesting stuff:
http://espn.go.com/blog/sweets.....a-bad-idea
“Anyway, the Yankees have the greatest fans in baseball, right? You can make that argument. They’ve led the AL in attendance the past seven seasons. But … well, that hasn’t always been the case. In 1998, 1999 and 2000, they won three World Series, and yet finished only third in attendance each season. In 1996, they won the World Series and yet placed a lowly seventh in the AL in attendance. They drew 2.2 million fans, not too much more than Tampa Bay drew last season, despite playing in a market nearly nine times the size. In 1992, the team won 76 games and drew — get this — only 1.75 fans, fewer than Tampa Bay drew in any of the past three seasons. That was the second straight season the Yankees had finished 11th in the AL in attendance.”
Banuelos will miss first turn through rotation for family issues.
PJ Pilittere has resigned with Yanks and assigned to Scranton.
Bd, thank god for technology. Go for it.
“Is it wrong to secretly watch the game on my iPhone under the dinner table tonight?

Would that make your phone a PED (perfunctory enhancing device)?
GB,
He is very close to his grandmother, who has been ill.
Hope it’s not serious.

would be hard to find an open date considering there is a game almost every night
are they trying to run Russell Martin into the ground?
____
he is probably going to rest thursday with the day after the night, so he is ready for the Sox series.
“would be hard to find an open date considering there is a game almost every night ”
How about Thursday night?
Ledger_Yankees Rothschild says Hughes’ arm “looked quicker” during his side today. Didn’t have a gun on him but says it looked better.
BD,
I have the MLB.com package and also made a date for tonight. The good news for tonight is that it’s on MLB TV so I can DVR, ignore all the emails/BBery temptation and watch it afterwards FWD through the boring stuff and watch in HD to boot!
Any other night I would have to catch a replay on the PC which just isn’t the same.
J*sh B*ck*tt begins his bounce back season that Sox fans were promised tonight.
“Ledger_Yankees Rothschild says Hughes’ arm “looked quicker” during his side today. Didn’t have a gun on him but says it looked better.”
Well, I guess we know what we’re talking about until game time…
I wouldn’t rest Martin on Thursday. I would rest him Wednesday (tomorrow), so he can catch Burnett on Thursday. Burnett/Martin seemed to have a good thing going in their first game and I’d rather keep them together. Let our scrub #5 pitch to our less than a scrub backup catcher. Decent chance neither of them are even with the team 3 months from now.
Well, I guess we know what we’re talking about until game time…
–
No, I’ve confirmed the crisis is over.
Ledger_Yankees Star Ledger
RT @jerktweets: @Ledger_Yankees Crisis over? Did they do long toss? // yes, long toss and pen
I know that I get hammered for this, but I like speed in the 9 hole……Hopefully the game thread will be a pleasant one tonight…..I stun at the thought of what it’ll be like here when the dreaded 3 game losing streak hits….Time for laps….
How long a toss would it take for Javvy Vasquez to get his velocity back? This is a math quiz….
“No, I’ve confirmed the crisis is over.”
Just a matter of time before the questions addressed to SJ or CB about how an arm being quicker will result in increased velocity.
Banuelos getting a late start could be a positive. Keeps his innings down a little so he has more remaining under his innings limt later in the year for a potential call up.

my blackberry tracking ball is all messed up so browsing is tough.
if anyone on here has Verizon FIOS for their cable, MLB Extra Innings is free till April 10th
I’d just like to say that some of the things we argue about or even worse really should be put in perspective. On my way home from the library during my lunch hour from work, I was nearly killed in a car accident. This truck came out of the parking lot he was in like a bat out of hell, crossed a lane of traffic and smashed into my car. Thank heavens for seatbelts and for the airbag; I emerged with a few scrapes and a bruised shin – no broken bones, no serious injuries that I can tell. I know that even a “love tap” from another car can lead to back problems, so I’m probably going to go for x-rays. My first thought right after it happened was that I was lucky to be alive. Everything I always worry about – what’s wrong with Phil, will we hit with runners in scoring position, or anything else that just pops up with me because I worry about everything really means very little at this point. For those who don’t wear seat belts, please do so.
ok stuckey – that is funny
I have a date Thurs and Fri night as well (Fri is with a big Sawx fan… ugh. But at least it’s a day game…
“How long a toss would it take for Javvy Vasquez to get his velocity back? This is a math quiz….”
If Javier Vasquez’s fastball is moving towards homeplate at 88mph, and Kevin Youkilis bat is moving through the strike zone at 107 MPG, how long will it take the fans at Yankee Stadium to begin booing Vasquez?
A.) Before Brett Gardner cranes his head backwards watching the ball sail into the upper deck.
B.) Before Youkilis rounds 1st base.
C.) They were already booing before he threw the pitch.
Betsy glad to know your ok
Stuckey–They had been booing since it was announced he was pitching.
Betsy, wow! So sorry to hear that happened to you. Glad to hear you’re ok.
BD, 5 seconds after I hit enter I wanted to change it to perfunctory enabling device, but day late a dollar short…
Betsy-I’m glad you’re OK!
ditto. Glad you’re ok Betsy. That’s crazy.
Bets–Glad you are okay…Get checked for whiplash and sue the guy.
I don’t own a truck, I swear…
I too and very glad you’re okay Betsy.
Tampa, thank you…….I didn’t have an herky jerky movements, so my neck should be ok, but I believe I will be quite sore for a few days. I just want my back to be ok………….everything else is minor. It’s a bit achy right now – I have a date with Aleve.
“BD,

—-
Mike, I’ve done that… though of course I have a hard time not checking my phone to see every pitch live. But it’s nice to watch in HD after with no commercial breaks.
Betsy glad you’re ok
Stuckey, you’re missing the ubiquitous “D: All of the above,” usually the safest bet.
It’s a bit achy right now – I have a date with Aleve.
—
Drink more
Bets–sometimes people in car crashes get TMJ as a result. Blake could probably tell you more about it…but my wife got it a long time ago when she didn’t think she was in such a big crash. Best to make sure now and get damages covered rather than suffer pain later.
Erin, Stuckey, Aldo, Boj, BD – thank you! Had that guy been in a car and not a 4 wheeler, I think the same thing still would have happened- maybe less damage to my car, but I couldn’t avoid it. There are just really lousy drivers out there- as if getting to a place 1 second earlier or 1 minute will make a difference. I’ve been guilty of going too fast at times or weaving in and out of lanes because I didn’t want to wait behind a slow car, but not anymore. As the tow truck driver said, too many people on the road are all about competition and beating the guy in the other car.
Stuckey–the correct answer to “How long a toss would it take for Javvy Vasquez to get his velocity back? This is a math quiz….” is Florida to Cuba
“How long a toss would it take for Javvy Vasquez to get his velocity back? ”
a 110-120 yard throw would do it.
not going to happen.
Betsy, I’m glad you’re ok. I was once broadsided by a drunk driver who ran a red light. I never saw it coming; I woke up briefly in the ambulance.
But I have a wager on how many wins Phil gets, so I reserve the right to be happy with what’s right with Phil ASAP.
Betsy,
Was your car totaled?
Betsy, glad you’re ok! Was he a Mets fan?
Betsy-
Thank goodness you’re OK.
Betsy, glad you’re OK, I lost a close relative at age 35 about 25 years due to a traffic accident in a similar manner, glad you had the seat belt on.
Bojy, definitely agree with something you said earlier.
The best off season acquisition WAS Larry Rothschild!!!!!
Patrick, thanks! Drinking more probably would not only dull the pain but make me a lot happier, lol….. Sounds good to me!
Bojo, I definitely want to get x-rays – JUST to be sure; you’re right – sometimes the pain, wherever it is, doesn’t really occur until after the shock has worn off. TMJ – that’s painful. Is your wife ok? Did that happen to Blake?
Betsy April 5th, 2011 at 4:58 pm
I am glad you are okay Betsy! I hope you are even after further inspection! Thanks for your words!
Bestsy, I am glad you are ok. Tonight’s Yankee win is for you.
I’ve lost a couple of friends in cara accidents. One lovely lady in my grad school was taking her kids home and was killed when blindsided by a car thief. Another to a drunk driver, and another to icy conditions. The real world makes these arguments seem small and petty.
And you still have no clue about Hughes.
Nick in SF April 5th, 2011 at 5:07 pm
Betsy, I’m glad you’re ok. I was once broadsided by a drunk driver who ran a red light. I never saw it coming; I woke up briefly in the ambulance.
————————-
Nick in SF, does that mean you’ve really been unconscious since then except for that brief moment?
It was very painful for my wife, but we saw the best in the world in NYC…Dr Harold Gelb.
I think Blake is a dentist (right?) and would know about the issue and probably explain it better than I could.
If the driver was distracted, it was probably a Redsock fan who was repeating the mantra “the 1998 Yankees won 114 games and started 0-3 right? I am not panicking at all.”
Thanks for the info on Banuelos, SJ. There wasn’t a reason given. hopefully, as you say, nothing serious. I wonder if Pilittere is in shape to play, will Molina be one game and out behind the plate. Not a ton of talent with the bat, but decent defense. He’s been around forever as a Yankee farm hand, and now back after signing on with ‘Zona.

Woohoo! Just don’t drive afterwards, although I’m sure that’s the last thing I need to tell you at this point
Bojo, shouldn’t that be Florida to New Orleans?
If you want any advice on getting a new car, I think Doreen will be around soon.
“I’ve lost a couple of friends in cara accidents”
There’s no good way to go, but I would choose an Irene Cara accident. What a feeling!

Actually Cuba to FL, but the long way around! LOL!
Wow Betsy thank God you’re okay and thank God for airbags! You are so right about getting fast perspective on what’s important in life and what’s really worthy your worry – and whether or not Phil Hughes works out his cutter is really very low on the list.
Celebrate the rest of this day and those around you that you love. That’s the important thing about today.
If the Yankees win or lose, baseball will be here tomorrow and the day after and the day after.
Baseball is always a wonderful marathon, actually giving fans permission to breathe if they so chose!
Interesting article on how pitchers, in this case Aroldis Chapman, achieves velocity of up to 105mph.
Ignore the fact that it was written by a former Sux pitcher!!
http://www.pitching.com/blog/p.....f-105-mph/
Well, my wife has been reminding me a lot today that UCOnn won something last night. I am trying to ignore the details about her undergrad school.
Nick, are you kidding? That’s awful – I have no tolerance for drunk driving. I remember taking a vacation from this blog after Joba got arrested because I was pretty angry. If you win the bet, what’s your reward?
Patrick, not really. The part of the car where the driver’s side headlight is is gone – you can see inside the car, lol., The bumper was ripped off as well………but the car started, so the engine appears to be ok. There’s also a dent by the rear passenger side door.
Mike, they were Sikhs’, lol – not sure if they were baseball fans. They were pulling out of a Sikhe temple and just – wham. Unfortunately, bad driving is not limited to Mets fans.
Yikes Betsy, glad to hear you are OK. That must have been so scary.
“If you win the bet, what’s your reward?”
The bet is with my sportsbook, so I win money.
If I lose they think they’re getting my kidney, but the joke’s on them.
Hey Trishy–
I posted a link earlier today to an old 1950s TV tribute to Lou Gehrig that I think you would love. Has a lot of actual Lou Gehrig video. He was and remains my all-time favorite Yankee.
I had never seen it before.

Check out the final few minutes for some of the actual farewell speech that is rarely heard.

Isn’t it well preserved?
Betsy,
Totaled doesn’t necessarily mean the car won’t start. It means that the cost of repairing the car would be more than the car’s worth.
Yankee Trader thank you!
MG, thanks. How awful – I’m so sorry. I won’t let anyone get in my car without putting on a seat belt. I don’t get my sister- she thinks being in the back seat protects her from the force of being thrown during an accident. It doesn’t.
Ray and Sallie, thanks! Bojo, maybe the accident knocked some sense into me, lol. Granted, I didn’t hit my head, but still, lol. What awful stories – really depressing. You have to be so careful on the road and even then you never know. You wake up in the morning assuming your day will be like every other – and wham, it’s not. It just takes a split second for everything to change.
Trisha, I’m going to try and remember what I wrote today – though I’m not sure I will succeed, lol.
Patrick, no drinking and driving, but maybe drinking and posting!
If I lose they think they’re getting my kidney, but the joke’s on them.

“If the driver was distracted, it was probably a Redsock fan who was repeating the mantra ‘the 1998 Yankees won 114 games and started 0-3 right? I am not panicking at all.’?
LMAO, and that’s not so much fun with bronchitis!!
I have a classic trisha story. I was hit by a car once (car hits body) and I ended up breaking both bones in the bottom of my left leg, totally clean breaks. I’m pretty tough when it comes to pain, but that crossed my eyes! I was in a cast of one kind of another for almost a year. However, my first question to the doctor was whether or not I would ever walk again. When he said yes I was good to go. I considered ithe rest of it to be an adventure. Also, if that hadn’t happened to me today I might have a PhD instead of a JD because I was taking course toward a PhD at the time. Best thing that could have happened because my heart wasn’t in the program and in my heart of hearts I wanted to be an attorney.
The silver lining found in every cloud.
Patrick, ops -thanks! I’m not sure – the car is with the mechanic now. It’s a 2004 Honda Accord, so it’s a good car. The other driver’s insurance is going to pay for this – I’ll make sure of it, lol, as it was so clearly their fault. I’m going to be very nervous driving a rental, that’s for sure.
“Donated” isn’t exactly the right word…
It’s a 2004 Honda Accord, so it’s a good car.
—
That is a good car, hopefully you have no problems with getting it fixed.
And here I thought you would ask the doctor if you would be able to play the violin after the leg healed…
Kate, thanks! It was scary – it happened so fast and yet went so slowly -if that makes any sense. You see it happening in front of you, but there’s not much you can do. I really feel extremely fortunate to be alive.
Betsy April 5th, 2011 at 5:20 pm
If anything happened to you, we would truly miss you! So drive carefully & keep us informed on your well being!
GreenBeret7 April 5th, 2011 at 4:29 pm
Banuelos will miss first turn through rotation for family issues.
PJ Pilittere has resigned with Yanks and assigned to Scranton.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That’s good news about P.J. Maybe a swap with Molina is in order ?
“Trisha, I?m going to try and remember what I wrote today ? though I?m not sure I will succeed, lol.”
Bets, I will try to remind you but I also understand that it’s human nature to have the urgency fade with the passage of time.
Bojo, and the doctor would say Yes and then I would say “that’s good, because I could never play it before”, lol.
Patrick, thanks. I’m going to shockingly think positive; I mean, what good will it do to worry? If I have to get a new car, I will be pretty livid, but we’ll see. Other cars have undoubtedly sustained much more damage than mine did, but of course, it really matters where the damage was sustained……so many little parts to consider, you know?
Aww, Ray, that’s so sweet. Thanks! I’m going to go up to my room and rest a bit in a few………
Exactly–I knew you would get it!
Bets–It couldn’t hurt to consider getting another car before they go ahead with repairs. I presume the resale value of a damaged car will go dwon, so remember that financial loss when thinking about it.
I just called CC and told him about you, Betsy and he promised a good outing. I’m sooooo sorry for your bad luck today but thank God you are alright.
Betsy,
Just trying to catch up. I am so glad that you’re ok.
I might have a PhD instead of a JD because I was taking course toward a PhD at the time. Best thing that could have happened because my heart wasn’t in the program and in my heart of hearts I wanted to be an attorney.

You wanted a degree in Johnny Damon? You’d better have this deleted or Erica’s gonna be all over you like white on rice.
Not to happy with the order of the lineup but I do like the fact that its Gardner who is sitting and not the Grandy man
It’sfunny how all these games with the Twins at YS seem to be very close…I guess we might be in for another close one tonight.

Always liked Pilittere. he worked really well with the young pitchers, but, especially Montero and Romine. Would like to see him get his cup of coffee and then stay on in coaching.
BD — Be careful with the “at bat” app. It sometimes decides to turn the volume on at inopportune times. I decided in ’09 not to miss game 1 with the Twins but also not to miss my night class. Needless to say my professor wasn’t as pleased to hear Jeter’s homerun as I was.
Bojo, but I would never sell my car- she’s already named, lol
Jack, thank you! CC always has his fans bests interests at heart – that’s why he rarely throws a bad game!
Fran, thanks a lot – I appreciate everyone’s comments.
Bojo, but I would never sell my car- she’s already named, lol
