Carmona vs. Yankees
TIME/TV: 7:05 p.m., YES Network
WEATHER: Not nearly as hot as the past three days. Actually feels pretty nice out here.
UMPIRES: HP Dale Scott, 1B Dan Iassogna, 2B CB Bucknor, 3B Mike Muchlinski
FIRST HIT: Cleveland pitching coach Tim Belcher gave up Derek Jeter’s first career hit on May 30, 1995 in Seattle. Jeter was a career .360 hitter against Belcher (9-for-25) and is now 10 hits away from No. 3,000.
FIRST PLACE: The Yankees current home stand feature three three-game series against teams currently in first place in their division. First Boston, now Cleveland, then Texas. They have a combined winning percentage of .565.
FIRST INNING: Jeter is hitting .357 with four doubles, two home runs and seven walks when leading off innings this season. When leading off the first inning he has reached in 23 of 49 appearances (17 hits, four walks and two HBPs).
UPDATE, 7:31 p.m.: What team is this? Situational hitting? Two-out RBI singles? Patient at-bats? The Yankees have a quick 3-0 lead and they’re not even through the bottom of the first.
UPDATE, 7:49 p.m.: Can you tell this team’s a little fired up? Teixeira obviously wasn’t happy and he let Carmona know about it, but of all people it was Joe Girardi and Manny Acta who went toe-to-toe and face-to-face in the scrum.
UPDATE, 8:04 p.m.: Gardner tripled to center, but he was held to a double because he was about to run right past Jorge Posada who was in front of him on the bases. It’s 5-0 Yankees in the third.
UPDATE, 8:23 p.m.: Career homer No. 625 for Rodriguez — No. 12 for the season — has given the Yankees a 6-0 lead in the fourth.
UPDATE, 9:22 p.m.: Nova’s shown some cracks the past two innings, but he’s opened the seventh inning with a strikeout, then got a ground out and he’s already matched the second-longest outing of his career. It’s 7-2 Yankees in the top of the seventh.
UPDATE, 9:38 p.m.: Teixeira’s three-run double in the seventh makes it a 10-2 Yankees lead, and now Rodriguez has followed with an RBI double to make it 11-2.
UPDATE, 9:59 p.m.: Maybe those control problems haven’t gone away completely. Whelan’s walked three of the first five big league batters he’s faced. He had six walks in 27 innings in Triple-A.
UPDATE, 10:08 p.m.: Rough debut for Whelan. Four walks in two-thirds of an inning. Here’s Sanit.
Jeter needs to be hypnotized to think that every inning is the 1st, or maybe PH for after his first AB.
Go Nova. Go Yanks.
I would watch the Indians throw a perfect game tonight while striking out all 27 batters, winning the game 500-0 over the course of 17 hours, if it meant that Joe Girardi would be fired tomorrow.
After the game, he would likely say something like, “This is all totally normal. These things happen over the course of the season. You get swept twice in a row at home against the Red Sox, looking complacent and disinterested. You lose 500-0. You strike out 27 times in a row. You DO these things. It’s all part of the game, and that’s why I love baseball.
Also, if it’s possible, could one of you beat writers please watch my Yankeeography? The YES Network thought there was a mistake, but we literally got 0 viewers when it made its debut the other night. I can’t believe that no one would watch a Yankeeography about a guy with a .315 career OBP, a career .350 slugging percentage and a total of 2.4 wins generated according to WAR over my 4 years as a Yankee catcher. Not to mention my amazing four years as the manager of this team, where I’ve managed the team in a drunken state since August of last year.”
I’m not bitter. At all.
Double post, though, just because.
What’s the over-under on the time when the first throw from Cervelli lands in center field? About 7:11?
Odds makers aren’t that stupid…
What’s the over under for how many times people will misuse the concept of over under during this game thread?
Girardi is manager of personality, a family man, not manager of baseball. No concept of how play baseball.
Kay missed out on his ‘let s do it’ He must be seething
I do not understand the Yankees at all. No BU C, more do nothing pitchers, and no bench players added, and 1 sent to SWB.
Please, stop blaming Girardi for lack of effort on the part of some players, injuries, and Cashman not providing the players needed to compete at this point in time.
Over under on how many days until Cervelli demoted or DFA. 20 days
LGY!
Sweep these mofos
Good start.
Everyone is accountable.
SuperNova – Let’s go Yankees!
Great 1-2-3 plan for Nova. If you don’t put anyone on 1B, then Cervelli can’t give them a free pass to thrid.
“Over under on how many days until Cervelli demoted or DFA. 20 days”
when he should be? Now…..when will he be?…..Im starting to think never.
Go Yanks…..nice 1st by Nova.
Cervelli should be demoted after this series – however he will ride out the year throwing out 10% of the base runners he faces.
Let’s think positive. Today starts the winning train! SPs will rock, offense will score, cervelli will… urgh pass on Cervelli
How about the number of inane comments from a guy named Daniel? That’s going to be pretty high, I’d bet.
LGJ!
Sweep those Boston mofos
Dammit Carmona. Jetes needs hits not walks!
Fewest walks in the league, yikes it new it was bad, not that bad
And Danial was upset when he was called out for being a troll, with those comments he fits the bill.
The Yankees LEAD the league in walks
WTF is Kay talking about
it new (i knew) – wow
That is difference between Yanks and all other teams. Jeter stay on 2nd, all other team take 3rd
Now Im kind of annoyed Granderson swung
A-Rod should get a heater down the middle he should be able to drive
here we go with a pitcher that can’t throw strikes and we’ll help him.
nice to know that we have the lowest amount of walks in the american league.. that says a lot too me !
The Yanks have 9 more walks than the team with the second most in 2 less games.
No idea where Kay got that wrong walks number. As you say, Yanks lead the league.
Hits are the problem: 12th out of 14 there. Jeter actually leads the Yanks in hits.
It didn’t sound suspicious to.you guys when Kay said that??
Do you even watch this team?
3 walks.
if cano swings at the first pitch, he should be reprimanded.
even if the result is good.
We better score against Carmona. He’s stinking it up out there.
To be honest it sounded plausible to me, it seems like every night the Yankee’s are walking 6 or 7 hitters and not walking as much
When was the last time you saw Cano this low at .273?
why the hell is he swinging at this junk?
3 walks.
if cano swings at the first pitch, he should be reprimanded.
even if the result is good.
–
He spit on it disdainfully because that is what they tell him to do, then after he got that out of the way he decided to swing away
“When was the last time you saw Cano this low at .273?”
2008
Carmona really walk all 4 batters in inning, Cano up swing away
Cano needs to really wait for his pitch
Though I feel like this might be one of those PA where he lines a double down the RF line on something at his ankles, the sinker is too tantalizing.
thank god….
Cano hung in there. Good hit.
that was the right move holding Tex up. the ball was hit too hard
We want more! We want more!
no one should be swinging until they take at least 1 strike, at least.
How no score on hit to warning track, Choo flat footed when retrieve ball. Oy
Choo had Tex dead to rights at home.
YES’s stats are all screwed up, as usual. As in, wrong.
what is kay talking about now?
Posada didnt reach 200 yesterday.
high was .199 from what i saw.
NOW Posada reached .200
Kay wrong again. Just said that was Swisher’s 19th RBI. It was his 27th.
Hip Hip Jorge!!!
Screw you, all you Jorge haters.
Hip hip!
Posada is at .203 before that hit
Sada’s heating up
Kay wrong again. Just said that was Swisher’s 19th RBI. It was his 27th.
–
Its possible he has stats from a month ago
what is going on at YES today?
All their stats are wrong.
Jorge was .203 after yesterday’s game; .208 now.
ok you are right, i missed posada’s last hit last night.
but the rest of the stats are wrong.
Screw you, all you Jorge haters.
——-
I think you need to seek help.
Niblick June 10th, 2011 at 7:32 pm
Screw you, all you Jorge haters.

Po to Lo: Eat it!
Since Kay doesn’t cover the West Coast games, maybe he doesn’t count the stats from those.
Cervelli just throw ball into center field in pre inning warmups ha ha
Who is the geek in the headset giving Kay all the wrong info?
looks like they’ve fixed Cervelli’s mechanics all right LOL
Singleton gets a birthday cake, and Cervelli throws down to 2nd, missing Cano!!
Jacob Ruppert June 10th, 2011 at 7:37 pm
Cervelli just throw ball into center field in pre inning warmups ha ha
——-
smh Cervelli is pathetic
Swisher off the ball is actually quite good.
It’s Binder Joe supplying Kay with the info. Probably explains why he makes such bad decisions.
hmm where is my posts ??
Nova’s getting a bit lucky right now. Cleveland has gotten good wood
Choo = my worst fantasy draft pick ever
Prufrock, in Charleston game, doubles for Flores and Feliz. Ditto CoJo in Trenton.
Kay just can’t read the stat sheet prepared for him.
Nova to Noesi, eat it.
P,
Did you ever make it to Mike’s house?
Triple – I was all set to draft Lester, lost my connection and my auto pick was Choo!!
2 swinging strikes in one AB for Nova! Awesome!
Niblick, for a guy who seems to really get on anyone dissenting re: Posada, you could probably do to not criticize the yankee manager that won us a WS and was a part of the dynasty
Part of the dynasty? What a joke. Binder Joe and his lifetime .666 OPS? Thats the devil, man.

Cool. I love all those kids but admit a shameless man crush on Anderson Feliz. If you could hear me, it’s a name I speak slowly, with relish, wonder and delight
Matt LaPorta got got on that slider/cutter that looked so good in spring then never got used. Maybe he can start throwing that and his change up.

He won 3 rings. You’re being a bit of a hypocrite.
38HotDogs,
Not at bad pick at the time but looking back on it, Ouch
Nick Swisher tries to hit a HR every single time he is up.. it didn’t seem as though that is what he was focused on last year at all.. but this year, every time he is up he takes these monster hacks like it’s HR or nothing! Maybe his new wifey can help him figure that out!
He may have 3 rings, but he didn’t “win” them. He was a borderline major league catcher, who has convinced everyone that he’s some kind of genius. He’s a crappy manager.

That would be cool. He needs that slider. Hopefully Rothschild is getting on him to use it
there Jeter again ..
SWINGIN AT THE FIRST PITCH .. ARE YOU DUMB IDIOT DEREK.. DID YOU FORGET THE FIRST INNING ALREADY?
I’m over it.. no more protecting this declining NON DESERVING guy going to the all star game.. RIDICULOUS !
Grandy man can!!!
The Grandy Man can!
Good to see Grandy hitting again.
Tex has just about had it.
Atta boy, Tex.This should have happened last night.
Where was this fight against the Sox?
Carlos Santana better watch out.
You’re two-facing it, Niblick. Can’t believe you’d so passionately denigrate anyone that dissented on Jorge (and his .677 OPS) but can’t recognize the leadership, game calling, defense, and timely hitting of Joe Girardi, and the way he really brought the team together in 09. He hasn’t done anything in an attempt to convince people he is a genius, you’re projecting.
Go get em Girardi!! It’s about time!!
bought time this team shows some FIRE !!!!!!!!!!
kick his a** Texeria!!!!
Fight!
or
Donnybrook?
Why couldn’t they do this against the Sox?
Wow, somebody woke up Binder Joe!
Girardi vs Acta
Why does this never ever happen against the Sox?
Randy where are you?
Joe Girardi!
About time!!
Acta’s a clown!
I was just going to vent how they probably wont score the rest of the game. Put up a 3 spot and then nothing the rest of the game seems about right on par for the season.
However, Granderson answers.
And now benches clear finally some fight in this club.
Wow!
Was a warning issued?
Tex is the guy on this team that you don’t screw with.
So now Oneill can change his tune that the Sox are out of town and say it was on purpose. How utterly pathetic
how are any Cleveland players pissed….really they started it. Tex had a right to be mad. I was just about to comment on how awesome Granderson was before this jerk hit Texeria
Heck yes guys…..be tired of this crap for a change.
Acta gave Joe the old FU
What does it take for a manager to actually throw a guy out against the yankees?
Will Nova respond?

and Alex manages to do nothing after an intentional HBP

He is the kind of guy that will charge the mound, or go in reaaaally hard at 2nd to breakup a DP.
Let’s see if Binder Joe lets Nova hit someone.
it took getting beaned by the Sox to make us want to fight somebody, but not the RedSox, guess we’re afraid of them
Sure, now the Yankees get fired up over hit batters. Where the heck was this yesterday? Or even during the Lester garbage?
No. Girardi grows a pair after their buddies leave.

Agree. Told mick the same thing yesterday. Tex will brawl if moved to disgust.
Nice to see A-Rod running in as the last man in – hell Joba with a torn up elbow was in there
Nova should not get into it. He is on a roll right now….
any problems can throw him off.
wait til later.
Like I said last night.
CC and Tex are the only two guys with fire.
A bru-haha
Tired of Yanks being used a HBP dummies. Lessons need be taught
He is the kind of guy that will charge the mound, or go in reaaaally hard at 2nd to breakup a DP
——
Or destroy a catcher
I love the guys who do the slow jog in from the pen – by the time they get there Tex and Carmona are having a beer together.
I can’t believe that Carmona wasn’t thrown out of the game for that. That is absolutely unreal. A loser pitcher gives up 4 runs and the next batter get a pitch by his head and the ump doesn’t do anything????? What is the point of having an ump on the field?
Girardi grew a pair only because he’s about 2 more bad series from losing his job.
Tom-
I don’t know if a warning was issued. Solution. Next time Tex is ab against Carmona, let the bat slip out of your hands towards the pitcher’s legs! Oops!
Don’t understand how this didn’t happen last night with Joe G. Should have shown this against the Sox! Show some fire!!
Better late than never…..
ac1,
famous last words. wait till later.
Loved that Martin was there in front of Tex – bad back and all and he was ready to jersey somebody and start feeding them rights
Girardi is a joke he went face to face with the cleveland guy and looked like he was gonna cry.
but back to the comments before tex got hit..
Girardi was never more than a mediocre ball player and the players that carried him to the WS and got his rings are some of the players he manages now.. that dynamic itself is a no brainer that it’s not going to work.. how can you respect your managers opinion when you played on his team and were magnitudes better at the game them him ????
If I had to pick one move for the Yankees to make it would be to get rid of Girardi.. sure if we traded for a clutch player we’d win a few more games .. but Joe has cost us at least 4 games this year already due to his “by the book” managing without being able to make moves that weren’t in his binder.
He’s a clowm.
Nice play Jeets.
Back to back good plays.
Was Jeter playing hopscotch with Choo while this was going on?
Hello Niblick
ac1,
famous last words. wait till later.
___
If it were someone else it would be different, but Nova is so on right now, a HBP would throw him off.
Nice Alex
The reason that whole thing happened is because Tex got it going.
The reason nothing happened against Boston last night is because Jeter and Alex don’t have that type of fight in them. They are bff with everyone on Boston.
Santana better hope there isn’t a play at the plate with Tex tonight or he’s getting bull dosed.
IMO the reason you didn’t see this against the Sox was the location of the pitch – that was very dangerous by a wild pitcher – the sox hits were more “controlled”
This is how Nova can pitch when he throws strikes. He can be effective. His command just needs to be more consistent.
now he can hit someone.
Needed to throw that heater at AGon, not Ortiz.
Lest anyone get too excited, Carmona is no more than a batting practice pitcher so far tonight.
At least Singleton calls it like he sees it.
He needs to keep the ball down
I hope that Ortiz gets hit by Yankee pitchers in every single game they play. It obviously bugs Big Baby Ortiz.
95?

I don’t see it.. I have never seen him act like a “tough guy” .. I do know one guy that is tho..
Gary Sheffield .. that is one guy that would stuff a bat down your throat !
On this team, I just don’t see one player that would be so fired up to charge the mound.. if I had to pick somebosy, I’d pick Jorge tho.
such BS that they warn both teams before we get to retaliate
Tom- Yes there was a warning.
Lest anyone get too excited, Carmona is no more than a batting practice pitcher so far tonight.

Better than not taking advantage of a guy they should be.
Maybe this incident will fire them up,finally…could be the start of good things…
Nova should beam somebody before we goto the BP.
nice solid inning…
I love Tex’s reaction and fire. If that was Jeter he would be making dinner plans with the catcher and pitcher as he walked to 1st base smiling. The Yanks have to defend their players because this is happening way too often.
P,
You haven’t been watching then.

Take heed, everyone. Don’t get carried away beating up on Carmona. He’s not one of those Mighty Red Sox Aces.
You haven’t been watching then.

+1
The Yanks have 1 million AAA guys in the bullpen let Sanit or the worst pitcher hit someone when Nova is done for the night. The Yanks can’t let that slide.
Im glad that the finally said enough was enough…..you can only be a punching bag for so long.
If the umpires are stupid enough to give out warnings about throwing at batters, why is it that the pitcher who did the dirty deed not thrown out of the game? Instead they put restraints on the pitcher who didn’t even do anything.
It’s too bad that Girardi didn’t smack Acta around. Might as well show he isn’t the wimp that he’s been in the series against the Sux.
So Carmona throws at Tex’s head and both benches get warned and carmona remains in the game.
You just can’t make this stuff up.
Meanwhile Joba gets thrown out for “throwing” at Youkolis head
P-
Girardi was actually a pretty hard nosed player who got the most out of limited abilities. I remember at least one or two clutch hits from him in the playoffs. He was not a pushover, even though just really an average player.
But I agree it has nit translated over to his managing. That outburst was a welcome sight, reminded me of the the old fiery Girardi.
That’s the Robbie Cano we.need to see more of…..right back up the box.
“blake June 10th, 2011 at 7:59 pm

I’ve seen Tex get heated and frustrated.. but never anything close to him retaliating..
I just don’t see it. Just because he shows some anger, doesn’t mean he’d ever charge the mound.. how blatent was that HBP? If that doesn’t get you rushing the mound, nothing will.
Captain Clutch,
Since CC is the only pitcher that will do something I wouldn’t hold my breath
they always issue the warning too soon….i figure they should give the other team a chance to answer back without getting kicked out the game. After all the Indians pitcher is not getting kicked out

************
That’s valid. But the pattern has been to beat up on someone like Carmona; inflate the stats and then to tank it against other pitchers. To get to the promised land; we need to show some consistency.
Maybe this will start the engine. We can hope so.
Is Ortiz going to sue the media for his injuries since they caused CC to hit him?
Take that!!
Po Knows hittin’.

HAH! The most Jeter would ever do is pretend to get hit by a pitch. That was disgraceful and showed just how desperate Jeter was when he did that.. not much has changed since.
Since CC is the only pitcher that will do something I wouldn’t hold my breath
—————
Girardi should say to him I am putting you in the game you know what you have to do.
You guys should watch the replay of what Carmona did. That pitch was up high. Beckett’s crap wasn’t career threatening. That is probably why the Yankees were more angry than they were against BOS.
Hip hip!!
I’ve seen Tex get heated and frustrated.. but never anything close to him retaliating..

He ended Bobby Wilson’s season last year after getting hit.
Yogi,
I agree….but as someone else said….better late than never.
Jorge is feeling it…really swinging it nicely now.from the left side. Having big leagues ABs

He crushed Kinsler/Michael Young at second after Vincente Padilla threw at him. He absolutely plowed the angels catcher after he got hit.
Atta boy, Gardy.
Posada took away a triple from Gardner
Yankee bats waking up tonight.
Can Gardner even hit one out of the outfield? Terrible
how did posada not score on that?

Everybody gets a clutch hit every now and then.. just ask Aaron Boone !! He gave it his all but the talent was not there.. and his managing is the same.. he tries and is very passionate about it, but the talent is not there.
Give Paul O’neil the binder man.. he would make a great manager.
Something has changed for Jorge. Maybe now that his son’s surgery is out of the way, he can focus on baseball.
does anyone remember the last pitcher to get tossed against the Yanks?
How long you been saving up that line?
Nice job, Brett

Tex enacts his revenge on the basepaths…that’s pretty well known.
More natural baserunning skills as taught by Jorge Posada…
Rid of Cervelli. No baseball acumen.
Outlier against some poor teams.

They might be ‘poor teams’ overall but the pitching was legit. Those were a bevy of talented pitchers that the yankees scrapped runs off of.
Maybe this will start the engine. We can hope so.
===========================
Must be a 4 cylinder, we sure aren’t hittin’ on an 8.

Yea, next time he should consider not trying to get a hit. Upping Gardner’s slugging percentage is more important.

Oh, he crushed that guy… he also called him multiple times afterwards with hugs and kisses.
If Carmona hit Tex with the 5th pitch of the at bat then I would say ok maybe there is a 1% chance that it wasn’t on purpose. But the fact that it was the 1st pitch and the pitch was above the waist he should of been ejected from the game right away. If that was a Yankee pitcher that hit someone in that situation he would of been ejected right away without a doubt. The umps are such a joke.
Carmona is such garbage…..remember when he was a big topic of trade conversation this winter.
Wish the Yanks could get Choo somehow….he’s really good.
Consistency.
Since the “incident” Posada is hitting .298

Not likely. This site’s just been too busy trashing him to notice he’s been squaring up the ball for a while now. Reports of his demise have been greatly exaggerated.
Jeter’s battle to get his average with RISP to .100
Oh, he crushed that guy… he also called him multiple times afterwards with hugs and kisses.
–
Whats your point? He has retaliated and he is one of the most fiery guys on the team despite being a dork off the field. What does it matter if he apologized to a guy afterwards? You want the yankees to break a red sox player’s leg and then not say anything about it? Spit on them after? You want blood?
Captain Clutch,
I agree with everything you said except it doesn’t even take us hitting someone to get ejected. We get thrown out when we don’t hit someone
Hit it hard…..that was actually a good swing by DJ on a riding 2 seamer….got the barrel to it…..just right at him.
LOL@pathetic Jeter..
Sorry, I can’t stomach him batting first anymore.. it’s really HURTING this team.
He can barely hit the ball past the pitchers mound.. all he does is swing the bat at anything he see’s.. it’s freaking pathetic and I don’t know if I am so annoyed with it because he does nothing to make changes at all (like take a few pitches, offer to move to down the order).. or the fact that my once-hero has fallen so far down, that I’m actually hurt because of it.
I’ll also say for Tex, you rarely see him joking around with the other team like the Captain
Jays pull within 2-1, man on third with 2 down against Laptop.
Joba’s pitch was high but wasn’t even close to hitting Youk and didn’t hit him but he got thrown out immediately.

///
I felt and commented that Po got something out of his system that was eating at him. I thought he might settle in after the catharsis. Posada is a team guy, but no company boy. Being told to go stand in the corner was bound to get a GFY to management from him.
# Jerkface June 10th, 2011 at 8:11 pm
Oh, he crushed that guy… he also called him multiple times afterwards with hugs and kisses.
–
Whats your point? He has retaliated and he is one of the most fiery guys on the team despite being a dork off the field. What does it matter if he apologized to a guy afterwards? You want the yankees to break a red sox player’s leg and then not say anything about it? Spit on them after? You want blood?
==================================
Didn’t you say “kill em’ all” yesterday ? ( referring to sux )
Jerkface,
Here you go already trying to antagonize me. Act your age. I am not falling for it.
There’s plenty of other people you can talk to that I am sure appreciate your maturity.
In fact, this is the last response you’ll ever get from me. Nothing more. Ever. Bye.

He’s a clowm.

How dare you call him a clowm! (What’s a clowm anyway?)
The funniest thing about the almost fight was Alex running in after everything was pretty much over. That guy is hell bent on protecting that hip.
I love how Carmona has perfect down in the zone location now
Sometimes a little bench clearing brawl can really wake up a team of clowms and get them playing hard and as a team…this might have woken the team up
Nova doing a nice job tonight….he’s very effective when he has command and repeats his delivery……its just getting him to do it every inning and every turn

Jeter’s battle to get his average with RISP to .100
”
I can’t take it anymore. I remember when I worshiped the guy and couldn’t wait until the batting order flipped and he was up again.. I wouldn’t miss a single pitch to him and when I was really little, I once wore my Jeter jersey for a week straight and wouldn’t take it off.
Now, I can’t stomach watching him. He’s the closest thing to a guaranteed out (or two) that it’s very painful to watch.. I’m almost to the point where I may star boo’ing and heckling him (almost).. I’d be happy and all would be forgiven if he just took a few pitches for the next week during each at bat.. that’s all. Just take a few pitches !!!!!!!
ABomb!!!
ALEX
What a bomb!! Wow. Mantle style.
A-ROD!!!!!!
Cano better duck.
Arod did it for him. Cano better watch himself now…
Any bets as to whether Cano gets hit or not?
Link to today’s bru-haha
http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play......8;c_id=nyy
the thing i don’t get about Arod is that even though his homerun numbers are down, he still hits bombs when he connects. he hit a ball out in Oakland last year that was absolutely torched
Wow. What a bomb!
Didn’t you say “kill em’ all” yesterday ? ( referring to sux )

Probably not, but if I did it was certainly a facetious take on everyones bloodlust.
Cano ..
2 pitches 2 hits..
could easily be 2 hits 2 outs.. but I’ll take it.

Yeah and A-Rod’s homer was far too!!
“Now, I can’t stomach watching him.”
Then don’t watch….guys age, even Hall if famers …..it doesn’t take away from how great they were.

What’s the furthest HR ever hit on record? Anybody know?
Is there a youtube for it?
Here you go already trying to antagonize me

I am not antagonizing you. you won’t listen to reason or accept the information that goes counter to what you’ve conjured up in your head. Its why I ask what it would take for you to change your opinion on Tex, since by all rights he has been one of the most fiery yankees in the Girardi era. He has gone out of his way on multiple occasions to absolutely go after the other team. But its not good enough for you?? If you want to just post venting style and not expect a response I suggest using twitter.

His type of swing still generates a ton of backspin on the ball.
Mantle still has the record for longest HR. Though as with things in that era, there are questions about it. Mantle always said that the farthest ball he hit wasn’t the hardest one he ever hit.

There haven’t been many 500 ft shots since we’ve begun recording the data on HRs

That’s someone’s idea of a wild guess. The ball was supposedly still going up when it hit the facade.
I think the longest (or most impressive home run I ever saw was hit in old Tiger Stadium by Chet Lemon. He hit it to the second level in dead center field….a line drive….probably over 500 ft.
The Mantle shot off of Fischer was a estimate of how far it would have gone if it hadn’t hit the facade.
The longest actual distance of of measured homer was Mantle in september of 1960 in Detroit off of Paul Foytack, measured at 643 feet.
got greedy there
Oh Jorge.
again! auughhhhhhhhh
Mick needs to start tackling Jorge at first.
Awfully nice of Po, getting that hit and then removing himself so Gardner can run free.

Gardner getting his mojo back lately.
Why can’t Gardner do that more often?

My dad worships Mickey Mantle.. he has pictures of him and Mickey in his office. I always knew he was great because of the stories my dad told me.. but I didn’t know he was fantasy-like great.. wow, that’s insane. He hit a HR off the facade in old NYY Stadium???
If by lately you mean tonight, ok.
Gardner didn’t “lose” his speed. He was running the same, but getting terrible jumps, hesitating too much and taking forever to “read” the pitcher.

What the heck is Kaptain Groundout hitting with RISP?? Only 3 more years to go!
Mantle used to be really fast as well as having that incredible power.
Jeter:
pitch 1 – took (close) – 1 – 0
pitch 2 – took (way out of zone) 2 – 0
pitch 3 – took a strike (WOWOWOWOW!!! THANK YOU!!) 2-1
pitch 4 – meager ground out..
Jeter looks sick and unhealthy. I have said it before.. he really does. the bags under his eyes are huge… man, he just has absolutely no aura.. he’s not the high energy, happy go lucky Jeter I know.. I am certain something is wrong with him.
I rather Jeter try a sacrifice squeeze there then to just do the usual groundout with RISP.

Remember when they called him up ? Only reason I know of. J/K
I agree…I think Jeter looks skinny
P..maybe Minka is wearing Jeter out, so he’s exhausted by the time he arrives at the ballpark?
Bo Jackson hit a ball right – handed deep into the right center field bleachers at Yankee Stadium.
Strawberry hit a BP ball high off the Bud sign bBEHIND the right field bleachers at Yankee Stadium – Gene Michael said one of the furthest balls he ever saw hit. Before a 1996 ALCS game against the Os.
Jay Buhner hit a ball into the LEFT center field bleachers at Yankee Stadium. That, is crazy.
Ruth of course hit many 500 feet using a 45 plus ounce bat.
If by lately you mean tonight, ok.
—–
He ran on the first pitch two times vs the Sox.
There’s nothing physically wrong with Jeter. It’s simply age-related decline.
Let’s not forget Reggies HR into the black during the 1977 series. Crushed.
Just like Reggie Jackson, Choo Has candy named after him….Big League Choo!
Grandy is officially out of his slump.
I think I figured out why Gardner was running timidly. He was listening to Jorge’s advice to mix up the pitch he runs on because always running on the first pitch allows the opponent to guess when to pitch out. Jorge told him to run half the time on the first pitch, 50% of the ime on the second, and the other 30% of the time on the third.
Put this game out of reach this inning hopefully.
11 of Gardner’s 18 SB have come within the first 3 pitches

Also nobody swung harder. He said he always tried to hit a HR. ( funny, I don’t ever remember him pulling an “oblique” ) { in fact, that term didn’t exist }
This Cleveland pitcher is an econ major from Harvard! All right! Representing!
Mantle hit a tape measure shot deep into right field bleachers.
I think IIRC Mantle was timed going to first at 3.1 seconds. There is a Youtube video somewhere of him beating out an infield hit…fast as Gardner. More powerful than a locomotive…
i like seeing alex get angry at himself….
A-Rod hit one into the left field seats in the last year of the Stadium that I thought at the time had a chance of leaving the stadium – it was crushed!!!

From twitter:
The White Sox wanted to stop depending on the home run, but now they still only score with the home run and just hit fewer of them.
I think Joe intends to run up the score here….and then short sheet them…and change the thread count…
Never piss off an Italian!
Mantle knew how to bunt as well.
Just imagine what Mantle could have done had he not had bad knees. His knees were in horrible shape, he was wrapped up like a mummy just so he could play.
I could do without hearing that mickey mantle song, someday someone will say the same thing about the Robinson Cano reggaeton song.

___________
I was recently surprised at how many times Lou Gehrig was hit in the head….perhaps a helmet would have saved his life if the research tying concussios to Lou Gehrig’s Disease has any validity.
As a 19-year-old rookie in his first World Series, Mantle tore the cartilage in his right knee on a fly ball by Willie Mays while playing right field. Joe DiMaggio, in the last year of his career, was playing center field. Mays’ fly was hit to deep right center, and as both Mantle and DiMaggio converged to make the catch, DiMaggio called for it at the last second, causing Mantle to suddenly stop short as his cleats caught a drainage cover in the outfield grass. His knee twisted awkwardly and he instantly fell. Witnesses say it looked “like he had been shot.” He was carried off the field on a stretcher and watched the rest of the World Series on TV from a hospital bed.
Some have speculated that Mantle may have torn his Anterior Cruciate Ligament during the incident and played the rest of his career without having it properly treated since ACLs could not be repaired with the surgical techniques available in that era. Still, Mantle still was known as the “fastest man to first base” and won the American League triple crown after these injuries.
If Hank had started the cloning program a few years ago, we would have had 9 Mantle clones to call up for help by now. Dumb Hank!
now they begin to win, whhat a choking team.
Does Joe let Nova go 8?
A-Choke also hit a HR.
Yeah try to squeeze another inning out of him for sure.
I think I would also…
Bojo-
I’d like to see Whelan tonight. I think this might be Nova’s last batter.
JTHC-
Shut up.
Great outing by Nova ….best and most consistently he’s thrown the ball in awhile.
100 pitches, I doubt Joe will have Nova go another inning.
Yeah I suppose this game is crappy reliever proofed.
I’m not a fan of the 100 pitch limit if the pitcher is not struggling….I would stretch him out since the bullpen is thin…and let Whelen have the ninth.
Cervelli–they can’t stop him, they can only contain him.
With joba’s injury,i doubt joe risks anything .
http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb.....id=6630630
He [Trevor Bauer] is a devotee of the teachings of Perry Husband, a former hitting coach who devised a theory of pitch sequencing called Effective Velocity. EV is complicated — Husband calls it “the theory of relativity but with baseball” — but it relies on a pitcher’s ability to make each pitch look the same for the first 20 feet, at which point a hitter has to decide to swing. The deception relies on a pitcher’s throwing each pitch through the same “tunnel.” Bauer was not content to merely understand the concept of tunnels; he wanted to put it into practice.
According to Husband’s research, a normal strike zone, when extrapolated to 20 feet from a pitcher’s release point, measures 13 inches by 10 inches. So Trevor and his father, Warren, an engineer, built a metal contraption with a 13 by 10 opening. It is placed 20 feet from the mound, and Bauer throws bullpen sessions through it. In theory, each pitch that travels through the Bauers’ homemade tunnel will not only be a strike but will also look the same beyond the point where the hitter must decide to swing.
Nice piece of hitting.
Wow, a Jeterian hit….
9 away. Will he hit the magic number on the last day of the home stand? My wife is hoping so, as we’ll be at the game.
LOL, the first pitch to Tex is ball?
oh well
Tex!!!
Double Day!
Alex looks ok today…
Nice to see the bats working beyond the early innings.
oh fxxxk, this makes me sick.
They can hit anything now, except when they face Sux.
Alright take Nova out now. Too long of a rest. Let Sanit have one and Whelan the other
hi.
I want Nova to go out there in the 8th and hit the first batter he faces.

The Whelan era begins.
Funky arm action on Kevin
Nice split
Holy crap, this guy is Chad Gaudin’s doppelgänger!
Cano makes that play look easy.
Whelan, Noesi (back in a few days), etc…
Love watching the youth.
See this game is too easy for Cano, which is why he should be dominating the game of baseball. However, he isn’t due to his lack of focus. Its a travesty.
Need to see more of today’s version of Cano….he looks like the one.from last year.
i’m sure whelan is a little amped up…
Calm down Whelan. You only walked 2 lefties in 13 2/3rds innings.
a lot of good hitters having lower average years
cano, ichiro, choo, pujols….
He has better control than this. Not to worry.
first appearance…
understandable.
he will get it out of his system.
Good to see Cervelli go out to the mound so Whelen can calm him down….
What do you think Cervilli, amped up himself on Red Bull, says to Whelan?
Given that Cervelli is a maniac, the only way he can calm Whelan down is if he just brought 2 valium to him during the trip to the mound.

Apparently he pitches like Gaudin, too.
Whelan has a live fastball. He looks very nervous. Just needs to get this inning under his belt
I really hope Girardi doesn’t bury Whelan in the BP like he did with Melancon because of a shaky first impression.
Who knows I am sure rushing to the park today isn’t helping his cause either. Nice time for him to get the jitters out.
It’s a good thing that they have a 9 run lead. Let him get this out of his system now.
Carlo-
Unfortunately the Valium won’t work that fast.
Give him one more batter Joe. Its a 8 run game.
Ew–this is getting awkward….kind of like Family Guy kids finding out that their first loves in a dark closet was their sibling kind of awkward.
Wow, they’re booing him after 2/3 inning.
Shouldn’t the Captain help calm the young man down?
I’d have given him one more.
I am surprised that Girardi didn’t give him another batter. They do have a 8 run lead…

And thus ENDS the Kevin Whelen era…
this kid doesn’t have the control for late inning situations on this team. remember, this was the only year that his walks were somewhat under control. send him back to AAA and bring up Noesi.

Knowing Girardi he won’t let Whelan pitch again until the Yanks have another 9 run lead in a game. Unfortunately that how Girardi works…
Poor guy. He was shell shocked. He had the stuff to not give up hits. He just couldn’t find the strike zone. Should give him another shot during a blow out. Can’t ut him in a 1-run game just yet.
Let’s give them 6 or 7 runs back and make it interesting. Don’t really need this win anyway. Seriously…haven’t we got enough non strike throwers on this staff already?
Good grief.. glad we got some runs up on them. Whelan amped up on pixie stix.
I don’t think Noesi is coming back to the BP.
He is down there getting stretched back out as a starter.

mikeaxisa Mike Dunn walked a zillion guys in his debut too. Now he’s one of the best lefty relievers in the game. Patience, yo.
The Indians being in 1st place reminds me of when the Orioles were in 1st place for a couple of months a couple of years ago. It’s a fluke and it will work it self out soon. I still can’t believe that loser went head hunting because he gave up a couple of runs.
“I don’t think Noesi is coming back to the BP.

Noesi to the rotation, AJ to the pen…
LGY
Noesi will be on 5 days rest this Sunday. If he doesn’t come back this weekend, who’s the long man in the pen? Phelps, Warren, Mitchell?
meh, I’ve seen worse first appearances:
In 1995, Brian Boehringer walked the first four batters he faced, then gave up a no-doubt GS to Robin Ventura. Luckily for him, there were no blogs or twitter.
He went on to have some decent seasons.
Meanwhile our great Beat Writer Matthews is making fun of Whelan on twitter. Stay classy Wallace. hate that guy
Whelan just needs to relax a little.
AJ seems to be back to his old self so he can’t be a #2 going forward. If based on stats, Colon has valid shot and hopefully Hughes can come back successfully. Unless a trade comes out of nowhere. AJ is here for awhile and I really wish they can go back to 08 and do this over again. AJ is advertised, nothing more, nothing less. .500 pitcher with great stuff and a fragile mental makeup.
Put Noesi in the 6-7 mix. Good stuff and talent. Kid has earned it.
If someone is on twitter ask Matthews why he has no command of his own idiocy.
Who reads Wally matthews’ twitter account??
Some sucky kid made his mlb debut for the Yankees in ’95. He pitched 3.1 innings gave up 5 runs on 8 hits and 3 walks.

I don’t think the Yanks need to use a real prospect as the long man.
The problem with the Yanks bullpen right now is that they have about three long men instead of any upside guys that can pitch high leverage innings.
I guess the fans are so bored that they are doing a roll call in the 9th inning
is there a backwards bleacher roll call going on?
First time jitters for Whalen. Obv he won’t be in close games or high leverage spots yet. But u earn it. Like d Rob n Ayala n Noesi
Yeah, the long man is the least important role on the team.
They’ll put Noesi in high leverage spots. Got enough long men.
I think Nova heard that Noesi was getting ready to take his place….
I think the Yanks view Noesi as their best SP insurance so it’s risky to keep him in the bullpen and losing arm strength for too long.

Sanit hasn’t been impressive the couple of times that he has pitched. He should be the 1st pitcher sent down when they have to make a move.
And the Nucks strike. Down with the B’s.
Noesi will be used where ever Cashman thinks he will be needed most. Probably get a chance at 7th inning guy…if Whelan can’t cut it. Might still see Brackman there in a few weeks if he continues to struggle in starting.
Dickerson > Sanit
Watch Girardi get nervous and get Mo up. Anything he does wouldn’t surprise me….
Matthews is one of those guys that is anti Yankee because he doesn’t want to be viewed as a homer if he gives them credit.
Now who comes in for Sanit?

Sanit blows.
______________
Its the secret to his suckcess.
Dickerson > Sanit
__
Dickerson has 10 days, and we need a bench.
Golson will be here soon.
Brackman isn’t close.
Get Sanit out of the game..He stinks….
I really hope they don’t have to get Mariano up in this game…
Keep him in, Joe, he’s old.
Don’t we need to get MO in for some work anyways. Hasn’t pitched since Sun.
Bringing in soft tosser Pendleton.
Ayala sure looks good now doesn’t he?
alright the Sanit experiment is over.. Ridiculous
it’s a tough call on Noesi.
They need him in the pen, but he is the first in line to start if someone goes down or gets released.
He is a starter. You don’t want to Joba him.
See this is why it is pointless to send down Chris and keep up all these guys in the pen that can’t get outs.
wow…we really have bullpen problems. we are now the tampa bay devil rays bullpen of the early 2000′s
Cashman has to find someone who can pitch in the 6th or 7th inning when the Yanks are winning or losing by less than 4 runs. Having 5 AAA guys in the bullpen who can only pitch when you are winning or losing by 7 runs doesn’t help.
Sanit has never been good at any time, making his callup even more mindboggling.
Soon we are going to have to go to AyRoMo.
They don’t have the luxury of keeping Noesi stretched out. If they are going to continue to let AJ be a mediocre, at best, starter, Noesi needs to be the 6th-7th inning guy.

That’s why I think Noesi gets the 7th inning…he has earned it…
dammit, Mariano is throwing.
This is unreal. Where do they get these stiffs from? Quite pathetic…even when we do win.
Ugh.
Throw a strike!
Logan needs to go too.
Sanit has had enough shots. Onto next tryout. Too bad Norton got hurt
Amazing…
oh my god this bullpen stinks
and coming in…
This is awful!
Send Sanit and Pendleton home to Scranton….
Someone break Sanit’s arm so we can get Noesi back now.
Forrest Girardi strikes again…
Having to bring Mo in when you have an 11-3 lead? How sad.
I can’t believe that Mo is coming into the game. He hasn’t pitched recently but still, this is unreal. The bullpen is really introuble. Cashman has to return Scranton’s bullpen to AAA and find some real relievers.
At this rate Mo will be in
This is the worse bullpen situation I can remember since the 80′s. Wow!
“Cashman has to return Scranton’s bullpen to AAA and find some real relievers.”
Their best pitchers are starters, who ca be used in a ML pen.
How sad. Whelan, Sanit, Pendleton.
Guess Cashman is now going to get ripped off to get a real arm for the pen….
If we have to take K-Rod, can we please take Santana too?
Two good relievers and they have to bring in one when they started the 9th with an 8 run lead…
Sanit n Pendleton have failed. Onto next 2 options
They need to take Joba, Soriano, Feliciano, and Marte to Bartolo Colon’s doctor and have him put stem cells from Mo in their arms…
it’s a tough call on Noesi.
————
Noesi has to stay stretched out in AAA. He is nice to have in the bullpen but if someone gets hurt and he isn’t stretched out they are in alot of trouble.
Nice of us to play the Indians’ hitters back into form. Actually, wouldn’t even be surprised if we lost now.
Girardi is so dumb
Why is there any trust in Logan, Kay?
Noesi has to be in this pen. He has the combination of velocity and command that is SORELY LACKING with all these current stiff. Warren, Phelps, and Mitchell are all there as insurance starters and Hughes seems closer to coming back than any of our injured relievers.
Truer words were never spoken. Here comes Mo. Sigh.
Tonight really exemplifies just how desperate the bullpen situation is.
They won’t have a nine run lead to work with every night.
WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
How is Girardi the dumb one?
He isnt the one giving up walk after walk and hit after hit.
Swisher sucks.
Swisher should have played that on a hop.
Who else us there to call up?
Get DRob up….hell, get Colon up
Mo is never good in these situations
At least they brought up fresh arms to help crap up the games.
I wouldn’t trust Logan to babysit my pet chimpanze….
It’s a 6 run game!
Why are you using Mo?
Noesi will be back to bail out Garcia if needed on Sunday. Yankees will find a way to DL Sanit or Pendleton.
Kontos next or Flores to try out?
Uh oh
Mo hasn’t pitched since Sunday so it’s not a big deal that he’s in this game
It’s a 6 run game!
Why are you using Mo?
__
How bout the fact no one else could get an out and he hasn’t pitched in 5 days?
i know this would never happen, but the mets have three pieces the yankees need. a rf/platoon dh in beltran, a closer/8th inning guy in krod and a ss in reyes. put jeter/posada at dh and release jones.
“Why are you using Mo?”
Girardi has managed as tight as a drum all season.
Mo will take care of it.
One more out. Sheesh, this should never have gotten to this point.
Yay!!
finally!
Noesi is slated to start this weekend
Whew–Swisher was coming in next….
No one else can throw a strike to say n
The fact that this game got close here is ridiculous. This bullpen is a concern going forward.
“Noesi is slated to start this weekend”
If they don’t bring him up in 10, they really aren’t particularly smart.
Mo hasn’t pitched since Sunday, its fine. But dad that we couldn’t close it without him.
Nothing of an out.
Mo hasn’t pitched since Sunday, its fine. But sad that we couldn’t close it without him.
The Yankees DL bullpen is better than this one and maybe the best in the league!
Soriano
Chamberlain
Marte
Feliciano
Tex: Curtis hit that thing to Harlem
nothing of getting an out. Got cut off.
Nick Swisher, a new ‘star’ in Hollywood, has reportedly been signed by mega-blockbuster studio Megastar to star in a remake of the Keystone Cops…The film is tentatively slated to be called ‘The Keystone Cops Play The Field’……
Ugh, nice job by Whelan and co. practically blowing a big lead………….
Have to say that the bullpen looks really shaky right now. 5 runs in two innings. Yuck.

Nick is just living the dream. If only he’d wake up during games.
Whenever the Yanks have a small lead or it’s a close game and the pitcher is done after 5 or 6 innings it’s going to be scary. Ayala might be able to get people out in a close game but everyone else is awful and being asked to do things they aren’t used to doing.
i think colon may be needed more out of the bullpen once hughes gets back. and if noesi can start he may need to replace one of nova/garcia. then you trade for an 8th inning guy like wood/capps/krod and add soriano for august/sept.
If the Yankees pick up Hollywood’s $10.5 million option, that tells you how bad the FA market and farm system are when it comes to corner outfielders…
Sanit couldn’t doit, couldn’t holdit, couldn’t saveit, almost blewit ! Now hitit ! (the road )
If Hughes can’t throw harder than he’s been reported so far, don’t look for better results.
