Guthrie vs. Yankees
TIME/TV: 7:05 p.m., YES Network and MLB Network
WEATHER: The Orioles had the tarp on and off the field multiple times pregame, including coming on the field around 6:30 and back on the field around 6:50. It’s another night kind of like last night with rain possible throughout.
UMPIRES: HP Larry Vanover, 1B Brian Gorman, 2B Tony Randazzo, 3B Dan Bellino
BEATING UP ON THE O’S: With two hits last night, Derek Jeter now has 301 career hits against the Orioles. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, he is the first Major Leaguer to collect 300 hits against one franchise since Tony Gwynn had at least 300 against the Astros, Braves, Giants and Reds. Gwynn retired after the 2000 season.
FIRST TIME FEELING: Also according to Elias, Hector Noesi is the first Yankee to win his major-league debut while pitching at least four scoreless innings out of the bullpen. He’s the first Major Leaguer to do it since Jim Brower in 1999 and the first to do it in extra innings since Kansas City’s Scott Bankhead in 1986.
OTHER NOTES FROM LAST NIGHT: Last night was the Yankees longest road game — in terms of innings — since a 17-inning game against the Tigers… A.J. Burnett became the first Yankees pitcher to pinch run since Jaret Wright ran for Jason Giambi in 2006… At four hours and 46 minutes, last night was the Yankees longest game — in terms of time — since at 4:57 game against Oakland in 2009.
A NICE ROUND NUMBER: Mariano Rivera has now pitched in 999 games. With his next appearance he’ll become the 15th pitcher to reach 1,000 career appearances.’
UPDATE, 7:01 p.m.: It was just announced that we’re going to open in a delay.
UPDATE, 7:21 p.m.: The tarp is coming off the field.
UPDATE, 7:53 p.m.: Double by Jeter, RBI triple by Granderson and an error by Jennings. Completely forgot to update this post to say that Bergesen is starting instead of Guthrie.
UPDATE, 7:58 p.m.: Cano was just hit by a pitch. Maybe Guthrie is pitching after all.
UPDATE, 8:07 p.m.: Not a good play for Pie, but I’m sure Swisher will take the double and the three RBI. It’s 5-0 Yankees after a half inning.
UPDATE, 8:13 p.m.: I honestly didn’t think the Yankees would retaliate. I never got the sense that anyone in the clubhouse believed Gonzalez meant to hit Dickerson, but I always think it’s a good thing to see a pitcher standup for his teammate no matter what. Can’t hit a guy in the face — intentional or not — and expect everything to be fine and dandy. Wonder if it had as much to do with Cano as Dickerson.
UPDATE, 8:45 p.m.: As Posada flies to center to open the fourth inning, a rain delay seems inevitable. It’s not good here.
UPDATE, 8:51 p.m.: Back-to-back triples into the right-field corner and it’s now 7-0 Yankees in the fourth.
UPDATE, 9:48 p.m.: Vlad. Not fast. Or particularly graceful.
Raining now. Orioles have announced a delay, but nothing further.
It’s amazing how many games have been rained out this year. There are going to be a ton of double headers later this season.
Hopefully we get this game in. Go CC. Go Yanks.
The rain delay is really going to mess up all my DVR plans for the night!!
http://www.intellicast.com/Local/WxMapFull.aspx
rain in the area now and more heading that way
we should not be allowed to play Baltimore till June….its ridiculous how many games we’ve had rain out between them
the one bright spot i can think of if this game is postponed,
the bullpen gets the night off.
I wish all teams had retractable domes.
anytime you have CC against Baltimore you want to get the game in.
anytime you get to face a guy you pummeled several weeks ago (Bergeson), you really want to get the game in.
rain rain go away….
Are GEICO commercials the funniest commercials going? I love the announcer guy who asks thinks like “Is texting getting out of hand?”
***things like***
Assuming their is a game, who is starting for the O’s? Chad shows Guthrie.
I wish all teams had retractable domes.
========
Or artificial turf in the outfield and that fake rubbery stuff you find in a kids playground for the infield. With the rubber, our swinging bunts would turn into a single to the outfield. Jeter would have a chance to catch old Petey.
The tarp just came off. Still not announcement about a first pitch.
In what inning does C.C. plunk someone in the ear hole for yesterdays act? I say first man up.
First pitch, 7:50

most retractable roof ballparks use natural grass. only one that doesn’t is Toronto
thanks chad
So when was the 17-inning game against the Tigers?
I am pretty sure it’s Bergesen starting.
Guthrie was initially the starter until he pitched last night.
someone can double check?
7:50 start
BD, it’s bergesen.
tampayank,
I was thinking doing away with the retractable roof and putting fake stuff on the field instead. I would think it would be cheaper. I mean how much can a kids playground cost?
So I read yet another guy is accusing Lance Armstrong of using PED. Where theres smoke, theres fire?
Damn Ajax left the bases loaded again against Beckett… 1-0 Tigers
SoS-
The catcher was set up outside on Dickerson. That beaning was not done with intent. I don’t think the Yankees can afford any retaliation tonight and possible ejection of their pitcher.
Will it be a duplicate of the 15-3 pounding the Yanks gave the Orioles with Bergeson starting?
————————————————–
Dickey-Capuano-Pelfrey and thank goodness no Gee this weekend.
To all the Jeter doubters, was that long enough!
good start for the Yankees, let’s see about a 5 spot in the 1st inning so CC can coast…
XBH
GO YANKEES
yay Grandy man
Grandy man can!!!
Great start for the Bombers!
Atta boy, Grandy!
1 down, 4 to go…
WhatS the over/under for inning Posada commits an error at 1b…
I predict……… 1st inning
Nice shot grandy! 1-0 yanks
2-0, way to start fast!
“Damn Ajax left the bases loaded again against Beckett… 1-0 Tigers”
————
the Tigers inexplicably held Vmart at 3rd with one out on a fly ball about 10 feet shy of the Monster.
should have been a sac fly… even if it may have been close at home.
didnt make much sense at all. odds of AJax gettign a hit were far lower than VMart scoring there.
I was just reading SI.COM Joe Posnanski’s Yankees are in deep dukie article. I did not realize Tex was signed for 8 years and Soriano for another 2. He predicts Alex will not get the homerun record. I dont see how he comes up short if injuries dont plague him long term along the way.
YT,
Thanks. Did not get a chance to watch the game. It seemed like alot of fans here thought it might have been intentional.
Well all right, boys! Great start!
Not a strike.
Where was Arod going? Even if that were a ball, it would only be ball 3.
that was way off the corner for Arod!
Wide strike zone tonight…
“I was just reading SI.COM Joe Posnanski’s Yankees are in deep dukie article.”
————–
hating the Yankees is good for business.
and when ARod gets another ring and breaks the HR record, POS-nanski can cut out his article and use it to dry his tears.
Throw the bum out.
Hit ‘em, CC.
Sabathia needs to plunk Weiters
The pitcher should be thrown out of the game for that. It just shows how much of a low life Buck and his AAA team are.
I almost think Balt hit Cano hoping both teams would be warned…. to protect them from CC.
Cano may have more HBP and intentional walks than normal walks this season
Buck thinks just like Maddon. It’s more important to prove to the Yanks and Sox that were are “for real” instead of trying to win games. I hope Posada hits the ball 500 feet.
Big at bat here for Posada
I’m confused…in the Phillies game Kyle Kendrick started and gave up 5 runs, but then he was pinch hit for…by Cliff Lee
Baltimore really burned through their pen last night.
they are in trouble.
can someone explain to me why the home plate umpire has to setup that far on the inside corner…no way he can see the outside corner & it’s almost every umpire
Hip Hip
Swishalicious!!!
Hey, who called a 5 spot
Pie should’ve caught that, but good job Swish!
WOW Posada scored from 1st!!!!!!!!! on a double….that is shocking….guess the Yanks don’t wanna take 15 innings tonight
MG May 19th, 2011 at 7:54 pm
good start for the Yankees, let’s see about a 5 spot in the 1st inning so CC can coast…
——————-
thanks, Swish…
Boy pie makes u appreciate gardy
Nice!! That’s what you get loser Orioles pitcher…
see….
if Mariano HADN’T blown the save last night….
OR the offense hadn’t stretched the game to 15 innings…
the Yankees would have had to face Guthrie instead of Bergesen.
Mariano is always thinking “team first”
atta boys!, need an easy victory please
I say throw in a scrub pitcher and save C.C. for tomorrows game.
Bergesen shut out the Rays in his last start, a complete game.
Baseball sure is a funny game…
Let’s see CC get 3 quick outs, it’s always important to shut the other team down after you score.
Now let’s hope that CC is back to being CC
Giambi hit two HRs today. I didn’t even know he was still playing baseball.
The Orioles are looking to start a war. How pathetic, and sad.
I wonder if Buck will be first out of the dugout?
Thank you CC
And there ya’ have it.
CC sets it right!
Payback is a b!tch
At least CC didn’t hit him in the head.
oops!
CC took care of it, Markakis had no chance to get out of the way. That should end it right there…
Love CC
BAL has been hitting Yankees players for years. Guthrie used to hit 2 guys a game. It’s about time that we start fighting back.
Now you have to get out of the inning without giving up a run
Okay, CC. It’s nice that you hit the guy. You have to make sure he doesn’t score. LOL!
Sabargia didn’t hit Markakis on purpose. The ball just “slupped”.
If CC gives up a run because of it then it doesn’t look that great
hit those MFs!
easy win tonight!
CC (clap, clap), CC!
The ball just slipped out of CC’s hand…..
If CC gives up a run because of it then it doesn’t look that great
========
If you cant retaliate in a game your winning 5-0. Then youll never retaliate. Ill take giving up a run to send a message. Im tired of Yankee batters being human targets.
“The ball just slipped out of CC’s hand…..”
That’s his story and he’s sticking to it.
@Yankeefem,
I was wondering what time the Thunder open up their gates on game days? Is it 2 hours prior to game time?
GB, Sarbargia didn’t hit Markakis on purpose, you’re right…
Sabathia, though, absolutely hit him on purpose
As Tom Destry said, “We’re not gonna have any more promiscuous shootin’ in this town.”
Now let’s see if Buck and his pitcher are stupid enough to throw at another batter the inning that he knows is his last. I wouldn’t put anything past him.
I bet ‘classy’ Torre wouldn’t allow his players do anything.

Is that your story, the one you are sticking to?
I wouldn’t mind about 20 consecutive, quick outs for both teams combined to make sure this game is official, the weather doesn’t look very good in Baltimore.

The Dickerson pitch wasn’t intentional. They were saying on ESPN that the pitcher who threw the ball has command problems and half the time doesn’t know where his pitches are going. The Cano one, on the other hand, was intentional. He got the big hit last night so BAL thought that he should pay. How stupid is that? He’s a baseball player. He’s supposed to get hits, game winning hits as well. Do they want us to hit each of their players that get hits as well? Idiots!!

______
I believe two hours before; however, I am not sure. I always arrive late.
That’s it, MG. Can’t blame “Killer”. He’s out scoping out the babes….or he smells pizza somewhere.
Sarbargia
==========
GB,
I see you started the PIZZA and BEER a little early today. I honestly thought you were talking about the converted norte dame tight end to Cubs pitcher which I couldnt spell his name for the life of me.
LOL Yankeefem…thank you
I suppose I could look it up on the website or call them. I was just feeling a little lazy.
is Mark Reynolds the worst hitter in the history of baseball?
He strikes out more than a Sabremetrician in a singles bar…
I have some good news for all us Yankee fans. If we had a rain out for the remainder of the season and couldnt play another regular season game. We would be IN the playoffs and the sox would be watching from some bar in boston.

=======================================
By my count, we still owe them for hitting Cano, even though I think that there will be any further retaliation.
So i read some guy ate 25,000 big macs. I would like to ask him if the big macs used to be bigger or my hands were smaller as a kid and gave the illusion that they were HUGE at one time.
“is Mark Reynolds the worst hitter in the history of baseball?

easy to say that now while Jerkface isn’t around…

If you are feeling especially lazy, I can ask them for you when I go to the game tomorrow.
Speaking of Trenton, they are going to have no bullpen left for Betances after their 16 inning win today.
SoS,
They’re definitely smaller. I always ordered them as a kid. The smaller size is probably saving me a few calories, though, so I’m not going to complain too much…
What do 25,000 big macs do to a body? Yikes.
By my count, we still owe them for hitting Cano, even though I think that there will be any further retaliation.
========
+1. I say lets get the wildest kid in the minors to plunk one of theirs in the melon. An eye for an eye. I love the excuse he doesnt know where the pitch will end up. Im sure his teammates that continue to get it in the ear will find a place that dont shine to store it. Too wild. Find another profession.
Laura,
Just read your post about Cano being hit. Absolutely agree! I can’t remember a time when the Yanks EVER did that. Isn’t the point scoring and winning games? (Probably not for the loser teams…)
Love that CC and AJ will back up their guys after they’re hit, though.
Thank you, Yankeefem, I appreciate the offer. But please don’t worry about it! You just go and enjoy the game. I’ll figure it out.
16 innings??? Jeeeeez. I hope Betances is ready to go looooonggg.
Rain go away
MG – that was a good one.
Thanks Wang. I knew it. I was bragging to my kids the other day that I used to eat 2 big macs and large fries as a 12 year old. When the burgers were twice the size they are now. They rolled their eyes the same way they did with the walking bare footed in snow to school story.
TWO and a large fries?! That’s impressive.
My dad used to pick cotton in the hot sun…love those stories.
Is Nunez playing SS tonight?

How about when Clemens hit Piazza? I can give Clemens the benefit of the doubt that he didn’t mean to hit him in the head. Still, it seemed pretty clear to me that he hit Piazaa intentionally, and he did it because Piazza had gone 7 for 12 against Clemens.
Nope, but posada is in first
CC wants to get this game over with
The best was last year when Padilla the nut job hit Tex and then when Padilla came up to bat CC hit him. How stupid can you be to hit someone that you always hit and it’s in the NL when you have to come up to bat?? The hitters really have to appreciate that CC has their back.
Kay is saying that if Tex was playing 1B, he would have made the tag on Hardy. Here’s a thought – maybe Jeter can throw the ball closer to 1B so that Posada doesn’t have to contort himself to tag the runner. There’s an idea.
Joe, thanks….
One interesting thing about the game tonight is that the warning in the 1st inning basically takes away pitching someone inside-the next one who gets hit is an automatic ejection for the pitcher. CC is being careful with that, you can clearly see it.
How about when Clemens hit Piazza? I can give Clemens the benefit of the doubt that he didn’t mean to hit him in the head. Still, it seemed pretty clear to me that he hit Piazaa intentionally, and he did it because Piazza had gone 7 for 12 against Clemens.

Next your going to say he intentionally threw the broken bat at him. O.k. he did. But the head shot was an accident.

Betances won’t go long, regardless. However, I am hoping for no rain delays, which may hurry Betances exit and further deplete the Trenton pen. Ditto, the Yanks game tonight. We certainly don’t want to lose CC b/c of a rain delay and have to use our short pen.
Ghostwriter,
Hey! You’re right — but then again, I like to forget he was ever a Yankee. Sorry act all-around.
“How about when Clemens hit Piazza? I can give Clemens the benefit of the doubt that he didn’t mean to hit him in the head. Still, it seemed pretty clear to me that he hit Piazaa intentionally, and he did it because Piazza had gone 7 for 12 against Clemens.”
If that’s true, it’s ridiculous. You can’t hit every guy that has success against you.
Wow it’s really pouring. I hope they don’t stop the game…
Is Nunez playing SS tonight?

Last I heard is that he refused to bat 8th tonight. More to come.
Betances’
They may have to put the tarp back on. That rain is really coming down.

Are you Jerkface in drag?
Another late night? Hope not.
Damn Giambi with 3 HR tonight. 7 RBI’s.. Seems like along time ago when he roamed Yankee Stadium (of old)
The last thing the Yanks need is to lose CC and have to use up the whole bullpen

=====================================
CC is the man. I loved how he did it too–he was son defiant, with his chin stuck out, like “Yeah, you’re damn straight I did on purpose!” It’s nice having the big fella watching your back.
Go Gardner!!!
Toronto up 3-1 over Tampa in the 7th.
Boston up 2-1 over Verlander in the 6th.
Nice hitting Gardner.
“Are you Jerkface in drag?”
No, but I took offense to Kay acting like it was Posada’s fault that the play wasn’t made.

It’s before my time, but Bob Gibson and some of the other old school guys reputedly used to do it.
Can Jeter get the ball out of the infield? lol
Damn Giambi with 3 HR tonight. 7 RBI’s.. Seems like along time ago when he roamed Yankee Stadium (of old)
=======
He must know its raining cats and dogs at the Yankee game. Pretending to hit walkoffs.
Back to back trips.
3 triples
Have the Yankees ever hit 3 Triples in one game?
Jeter is on fire tonight!!!! I hope no one gets hurt in this weather though, it’s nasty out there.
Opposite field, atta boy, Jeet!
Wonder what the most number of triples in a game is?
Jeter is the man. Where is jerk face an YankeeNmore?
toronto up 3-1 bottom 7th.
ya think Ken?
Good job hitting Cano, good bye!!
I like that inside out Jeterian swing going deep. Good sign.
Weather.com says rain until 1am.
Erie Seawolves K’d 21 Trenton players today.. Although it took 16 innings.
Please don’t let this game get called
Jeter is OPsing 2.334 tonight, I guess there is a little life left in the Captain…
Hope they can get 5 innings in, or all the runs go for naught.
Curtis come on!
We are basically playing this game against mother nature now. It looks like the rain may have eased off a bit, but I’d feel better if we got into the 5th. I’m rooting for outs from our guys right now.
Situations like this u want everyone to take the cano approach. Get into the box with a swarm of bees and swing ur way out of it as fast as possible.
NEWSFLASH
Josh Beckett pulled after 6 innings and only 83 pitches (of 1 run ball)
will find out what happeend now
Oh this feels good. Really really good.
Wow, last night was all singles. Tonight, all extra base hits. Baseball can be funny that way.
When it rains it pours..
BD – was watching a bit of that game and he looked like he was pulling up short on his follow through. I don’t have a great eye for that stuff, but he looked stiff waist up.
Way to go, Teix. Now make an out and let’s just get through the 5th to make this an official game.
Good job Tex, baseball is a funny game. Now how about we save some for another day and get the game in?
thanks Carlo… they didnt mention anything (Remy or Orsillo)
but good call… probably a precautionary measure.
Wonder if Beckett hurt his back again?
BD – bet on the back giving out.
BD — check Pete’s Twitter, he posts things quickly (PETEABE)
He’s got to be injured because he was doing well earlier.
wow, 6 hits, still no singles
i wonder what the record is for most extra base hits in a game without having any singles (if they call or finish game without any)
My guess is its nothing serious. He struck out the 2nd to last batter he faced and his velocity was fine. I’d be shocked if he misse his next start. And I hope no one here is rooting for anything different.
Probably. It is always only a matter of time with Beckett.
Beckett turned back into a cranky old man with a bad back and a pedestrian fastball after selling his soul for a month of great starts.
It would be $o nice if thi$ game could go all 9 inning$
they will keep playing through this to get in 5 innings unless it becomes torrential, it seems to be about the same now as it was 30 minutes ago.
He strikes out more than a Sabremetrician in a singles bar…

Agree, but some people here root against their own players, so I wouldn’t hold my breath…
Everyone has a run except A-rod.
This is nice to see. A lot of guys with really really good swings tonight. Hopefully this can build some momentum and a few streaks from some guys who really need it.

Nick, what do you have riding?
Me, I’m hoping for one more inning, then call it.
Wow – jface, very impessive.
Mad skillz, son.

wow, 6 hits, still no singles
i wonder what the record is for most extra base hits in a game without having any singles (if they call or finish game without any)
==========================
They had about 15 singles last night. The entire lineup was way overdue. I just hope that the game doesn’t get called.
This number 52 pitching for the Yankees tonight looks pretty good. He’s no Bartolo Colon, but heck, not many are.
Since we are trying to get this game in, I won’t be mad if Cano swings at the first pitch.
I remember Paul Blair, with both the O’s and the Yanks. He was a heckuva CF.

Who needs Gammons when you’re here to report everything Boston except when Francona farts.
if I’m Girardi I’m telling Cano, Martin and Swish to hack away and get back out in the field ASAP
Yankeefem – I’m rooting for us to make quick outs right now as well. Just get through 5.

Yankees -1.5 run line COVERING
Yankees -2.5 alternative run line COVERING
Yankees money line COVERING
Only money line doesn’t need 9 innings.

someone tell CC there is a case of Captain Crunch waiting for him in the clubhouse if he finishes this inning in the next 60 seconds.
Bard’s ERA is pretty, but he’s not lights out by any means. I really hope Papelbon walks and the Sox are forced to make Bard their closer

When was the last time that the Yanks had a game in which they did not commit an error? It seems like ages…
BD (Boston Dave) May 19th, 2011 at 9:04 pm
Beckett turned back into a cranky old man with a bad back and a pedestrian fastball after selling his soul for a month of great starts.
_________
IF in fact Beckett took an epi for his back and it is now wearing off, it will be interesting to see how soon they try to give him another shot. Wiki says that 3 within a 6 month period is pushing it. And since it is just masking the problem and not fixing it, it makes me wonder if he is possibly doing more damage hidden by the steroids.
Call the game already.
Girardi should start pulling starters especially with a wet field.
First person to hit the bench should be Martin. He barely got a day off yesterday.
The Yanks really needed a game like this
Bojo,
very good point.
I’d also get Alex out of there.
Can’t really pull too many players with such a short bench.
Bojo – u actually believe that stuff about the shots? I thought it was nothing more than speculation at best.
LGY May 19th, 2011 at 9:31 pm
Jetes is an upper 80s fastball masher.
—————–
According to Gameday, his 1st inning double was off a 92 mph fastball and the 4th inning triple was off a 91 mph fastball.
Try again.
So when Alex is the only one hitting they win. But when he’s not everyone has to hit.
Girardi should start pulling starters especially with a wet field.
———-
I was thinking they should pull Arod to to give him some rest. But I don’t think it’s legal to have Nunez and Posada in the same infield.
Bojo, could be. All depending on how well Aceves and Wake do filling in.
BD–Is there any discussion of Beckett having taken an epi earlier? Any explanation of the improvement we saw and why it happened so quickly?

Kay brought up an interesting stat earlier-Jeter’s OBP in the 1st inning when leading off games this year is above .500, I believe he’s reached base 16 times in 31 games.

It’s a huge break to have CC going on a night like this, especially following yesterday’s marathon.
The best medicine for buck showalter is to completely destroy his team and humiliate them on both sides of the ball. Must infuriate him.

who was it proclaiming how great the O’s and Buck were going to be this year in the spring and at the end of last season?

I think he gets tired as the game wears on. Jetes is no spring chicken anymore.
GB7, did you listen to the Trenton=Erie game? Supposedly Melky Mesa had a game saving, diving catch in the bottom of the 12th to keep the game tied at 5.
Also, just noticed Charleston is in extras. 3rd Yankee team or affiliate in the last 24 hours playing extras.
Jeter has to have like the opposite of what most batters have:
Innings 1 – 3: .333 .400 .379 .779
Innings 4 – 6: .213 .269 .277 .546
Innings 7 – 9: .178 .208 .244 .453

How long did Boston sign him for? Because he loves the Yankees and still wanted to play for them.
Markakis has not had a good night-no hits, a couple of iffy plays in right field, getting nailed in the back and got buzzed just now before getting called out on a marginal strike lol
Nice play!
How about Cano for Verlander straight up?
RA Dickey tomorrow night. Good and bad.
The good is he has been horrible.
The bad is facing a knuckleballer after the bats show some life tonight.
It looks like Vlad went to the Posada school of baserunning
I think Beckett probably has a lot of injections in his rear.
If you Google Beckett and epidural the only results that come up are LoHud posts, in other words, it’s total unsubstantiated speculation from those who don’t have a clue. There has been no credible evidence to back that up. The reality is that he is healthy so far this year and accordingly is sporting a 1.75 ERA, the lowest in the AL, and a 0.90 WHIP
Buck looks happy
The bad is facing a knuckleballer after the bats show some life tonight.

Could be…but they have brought back dozens or players before, and a good year might make them want to bid for him. I’m not sure if Boston has remaining options on him or if he can turn down arbitration and sign as a FA (I somehow doubt it)

If the Yankees gave Ace a major league deal, they may have not kept Colon.

“IMO Colon is proving to be a solid #2 and a play-off starter”
———–
bojo, if he is still pitching like this come October, you need to remove the “IMO”
The yankees didn’t sign ace because the pen was deep on paper already and because they were worries about his back. Maybe he was a dbag, but that wasn’t the primary reason why they didn’t bring him back.
you know the game is boring when Kim Jones makes a booth appearance.
I wonder if Felipe Lopez made the call to the stands for her to get up there…
Maybe he was a dbag, but that wasn’t the primary reason why they didn’t bring him back.
–
It doesn’t have to be the primary reason, just a contributing factor. The entire package might look unappealing to have to sign a guy to a major league deal (pretty sure they offered him a minor league one) and deal with his drama potentially if he is injured or trying to dictate his own role.

Yep, we definitely miss Aceves; he was huge for us in 2009. I’d love to have him back. And you have to wonder if the workload (84IP) contributed to his injury woes. Supposedly we were convinced he wouldn’t be healthy this year.
Well, looks like Detroit took the wromg turn at Alburquerque
Until I read the NY Times article about Colon’s stem cell treatment I didn’t realize how bad his shoulder actually was. It’s probably been that way for years.
Now that it’s healed and strong there really isn’t that much of an injury risk-he may wear down as the season progresses but I doubt he’s any more of an injury risk than any other pitcher on the staff.
Binder Joe should take Martin out. Whenever you can give him an inning or 2 off you do it…
Less posts tonight, less trolls, and the Yankees are up 11-0. Is it’s a Thursday night a good enough rebuttal?
Brett pedroia is ready to storm the field and fondle the youngest player on the team.

CC just threw 96 on his last pitch of the game.
I don’t understand him being out there either with such a big lead but the guy knows how to conserve his strength-he’s a throwback to the guys like Koufax, Carlton, Drysdale, and Gibson who used to throw 300 innings a season, something he most likely could do pretty easily.
It’s still early in the season so it’s no really a big deal yet, but down the stretch Joe needs to do a better job of managing CC’s workload this season.

Girardi has to get CC, Colon and perhaps AJ to pitch deep into games and build up their arm strength. If those three pitch well and deep, this team will be playing deep into October.
Can we get our first shutout tonight? We’re the only team in the majors that hasn’t had one
The guy threw 109 pitches, which is low for him. Not like he threw 120

CC used to throw 130 pitches on 4 days rest with a 7-run lead when he was on the Brewers. This is nothing for him.

His command was really poor.
BoJo May 19th, 2011 at 10:26 pm
Girardi has to get CC, Colon and perhaps AJ to pitch deep into games and build up their arm strength. If those three pitch well and deep, this team will be playing deep into October.
====================================
I wouldn’t try it with Colon, not with his history. I agree on AJ and CC.
Girardi can rest his starters in September when he has a 40 man roster…but he needs his key starters to pitch late in games during summer so the bullpen is fresh and effective.

As MG said earlier, it seems like he has a new arm. I think he can pitch 8 every time–especially when he does it under 90 pitches
(I thought he should have started the 9th last night)
“It’s still early in the season so it’s no really a big deal yet, but down the stretch Joe needs to do a better job of managing CC’s workload this season.”
Don’t think he will have the luxury like he did in 09. That year, we cruised to the division title and September was basically just playing out the string for us. Sox were 7-8 back from mid-August on and Tampa faded away, so we could afford to give him extra days off as such.
This year looks to be a dog fight and will probably have a lot of must-win CC games down the stretch, so Joe has to ride him.

What does the Z stand for?
YankeeFem, I did listen to the Trenton, and Mesa made 3 big catcges with runners on base. In the same issing, he went hard against the center field wall and the diving catch was described as a head first dive into the left center gap to save the game in extras. He can do everything except make consistant contact. Had a triple and a couple of steals, but at least 3 strikeouts.
Well the Red Sox were supposed to be a great team team (predicted to win 100+ by some) so you knew they were going to get hot at some point. But I’m feeling good about the Yankees chances as long as the offense gains a little consistency.

=========
If he can go 9 innings on 90 pitches, then I don’t mind if he throws complete games every time out. But letting that guy throw 120 to 140 pitches in a start is asking for trouble.
Yeah Nunie!!!
The kid can hit
They still need a relif pitcher by deadline.
Joba and others are not trusted in tight games vs good teams, not even close.
Atta boy, Eduardo!
What does FT stands for?
—————
I assume fatigue
Nunez showing he has enough power to be an OFer if he can’t play SS
good game for the old run differential.
“What does FT stands for?”
Free throw?
2-seem fastball?
Now win a three game series.
Nice shot Nunez!! Like his bat!
And remember, Nunez is listed only at 155 pounds…he will still get bigger and stronger
Nunez batting 1.000 today, with a 4.000 OPS, usher in the Nunez era.
“What does FT stands for?”
Fat toss
Good thing they didn’t trade Nunez for Cliff Lee. They might need a SS soon lol
BTW did Trenton win that game in extras. Kei Igawa pitched well 4 2/3rds innings and his relief allowed an inherited runner to score. Must have been throwing heat!! LOL
The listed weights are always wrong. I’d bet Nunie weighs more than 155.
BoJo May 19th, 2011 at 10:35 pm
===============================
What is it with you, wanting to convert every infielder into an outfielder?
If only we had won Game 1 against TB…would have been tied for the division lead. Oh well, still tied in the loss column
Nunez is state padding
I hope they save some runs for tomorrow and this weekend. Usually when they have a game like this the bats go cold the next day.
Nunez is STAT padding
Darn autocorrect.

I wonder what the real number is…but I suspect he still has some growing to do.
Girardi is probably checking the binder to see if he should warm up Mo just incase

Trader, you laugh, but, one of Igawa’s strikeouts was described on the radio as “Igawa blew a strike 3 fastball past the hitter.”
Well, it looks like sunshine has returned to Yankeedom.
Just like we have said, it’s a roller coaster ride; up one day, down the next.
It’s the teams that can avoid too many of those down days that wins in the end.
Better get Mo up.
Thanks JM- Igawa has actually pitched well for Trenton. Wonder if he gets a callup in August before packing his bags and fat contract back to Japan?
Nunez has to be at least 170.
Uh oh…
How long before Girardi gets Robertson up?
Come on Sanit, we’re the only team in the majors without a shutout
GB7-
I actually saw your post this afternoon.
BoJo May 19th, 2011 at 10:42 pm

=====================================
Bring in AJ to settle the score for plunking Cano; let him plunk his way in to creating a save situation for MO.
Ha ha, will Kei Igawa and his mirrored shades make one last appearance in the Bronx??
I wonder if Kei will try to stay in the US and catch on with an NL team in a big ball park.
Looks like we have to wait another day for the shut out streak to end.
Call me greedy…but I want the shutout!
RSM May 19th, 2011 at 10:43 pm

Poor guy–he’s probably hiding in the bullpen somewhere, hoping nobody sees him.
Come on Sanit it’s 13-0
There goes the shutout
Damn. There goes the shutout.
After getting on base 3 times tonight, Po is creeping up on Jeter’s OBP.
Yankee Trader May 19th, 2011 at 10:44 pm
GB7-

———————————————————————————————————————
We need to e’mail that to all MLB GMs that the Yankees are looking to trade a left handed flame thrower….for the right price in talent and salary relief.
Girardi will warm up Logan, Joba, Robertson. Then if it becomes 13-5, MO will start to throw.
Is Girardi purposely trying to LOSE this game?!?!?
Think Pena lost some of girardis ear?
It seems Rothschild always w him, was eiland like that?
Tarheel-
You’re greedy! Sanit will be driving himself back to SWB tonight. Yankee players want game to end already- Colon standing in dugout ready to leave!
I’ve always thought the Yankees should try Igawa out of the pen.
I’m very surprised Girardi has Martin at third and Posada at first instead of the other way around. You think he’d put Martin at the harder position.
The 3rd baseman Martin throws the ball to the 1st baseman Posada. I gurantee you won’t hear that again this year…
Is Carslyle that much worse than this guy?
and LOL at Girardi watching so intently at the 9th inning of a 13-2 game

That’s not an automatic ejection?

Thanks, GB7. Would love to have seen the diving catch! The K’s are problematic, especially vs. lefties. When he moved up to A+ though, he had his lowest K rates (though still too high). However, he is starting to make some adjustments at AA: he is walking more this year, up to around 10%. And in his last 10 games, he is .405/.476/.676. Just have to get the K’s down…
For Charleston, Anderson Feliz hits a walk off homer in the 12th inning against Savannah Sand Gnats. He ended the night with a double, triple and homer.
Here’s the final box score.

If Girardi warms up Joba, Robertson or Mo he should be fired on the spot

Well, at least he retaliated, so he good for something.
He certainly can’t get anybody out.
Just leave Sanit in, its not like he will give up 11 runs
You reading Rothschild’s lips? “Listen you little s#%*, throw the ball over the plate. We’re all effing tired.”

If benches clear I betcha Posada sucker-punches Girardi in the pile.
You would think it’s a 2 run game with how nervous Girardi looks
Oh geez. Come on, guys!
So much for an error-free game. Looks like I picked the wrong night to give up smoking.
CAN I PLEASE HAVE ONE GAME WHERE MY BLOOD PRESSURE DOESN’T SPIKE? End it.
Bring Swisher in to pitch!
It’s amazing how hard these pros can make a routine play look
Ugh.

I don’t think so, but my guess is that he gets sent back down, all the same.
Morales has really good stuff. Knowing the Sox they will fix his mechanics and he will turn into an all star.

Good for him. I saw he had the double and triple. Here comes the projected power. I really liked his bat when I saw him in Lakewood. Do you know which side he hit the homer from?
No, I didn’t bother to look, YankeeFem. I can check it, though if you need it.
It`s quite evident that no yankee is allowed to pitch a complete game.
