Haren vs. Yankees
TIME/TV: 10:05 p.m., YES Network
WEATHER: No complaints. It’s beautiful out here tonight.
UMPIRES: HP Tim Welke, 1B Laz Diaz, 2B Mike Everitt, 3B Paul Schrieber
STAY HOT: Mark Teixeira has gone 12-for-25 (.480) with eight runs, four doubles, four homers, 10 RBI and six walks in his past seven starts. He had not started the previous three games, sitting out to try to get over a cough.
NOT ALWAYS A GOOD SIGN: The Yankees scored three runs in the first inning Monday. It was the 18th time the Yankees had scored in the first inning this season, and they’re 11-7 in those games, losing five of their last eight.
ON THIS DATE: Seventeen years ago today, Derek Jeter made his Major League debut with the Yankees in Seattle, starting at shortstop and going 0-for-5 as the Yankees lost 8-7 in 12 innings at the Kingdome. Jeter would record his first career hit the next night with a fifth-inning single off Tim Belcher.
UPDATE, 10:25 p.m.: Mike Trout might have destroyed his face in the process, but his leaping catch at the wall has ended the top of the second. Both starters looking pretty sharp so far.
UPDATE, 10:50 p.m.: Cano goes down looking to leave the bases loaded. He didn’t like the call, but it ends a big scoring opportunity for the Yankees.
UPDATE, 10:56 p.m.: Mike Trout’s a nice looking player. His RBI triple put the Angels in the lead before Albert Pujols went deep witha two-run homer to make it a 3-0 game in the bottom of hte third.
UPDATE, 11:06 p.m.: Ibanez double. Swisher single. Just like that, the Yankees are on the board, down 3-1.
UPDATE, 11:34 p.m.: Pettitte’s doing the job again. He needs some runs in a big way.
UPDATE, 11:44 p.m.: The moment Trumbo made contact, Pettitte dropped his head and slapped his glove. The solo homer pushed the Angels lead to 4-1 here in the sixth, but Pettitte left two runners stranded to limit the damage.
UPDATE, 12:14 a.m.: Swisher hit that ball hard, but Bourjos covers a lot of ground out there and he tracked it down to end the eighth with runners left at the corners. Pettitte’s back out for the bottom of the eighth.
UPDATE, 12:23 a.m.: Eppley is supposed to get ground balls, and he’s done that, but Cano was shading toward second and Kendrick got an RBI single through the right side of the infield. It’s now 5-1 Angels.
Go Andy! Go Yanks!
Go Andy!
TheHansons May 29th, 2012 at 10:01 pm
By the end of the night we’ll be tied at the top of the Wildcard standings and 2 games out of first. I’ll take it. Sux will be 4 or 5 back. I’ll take it.
——–
Where are you getting your information from.
Go Jeet!
Go Andy, Go Yankees!
Thanks JS….It’s nice an 8 pm game.
Lets score early and frequently. Make them play from behind….
I liked Aybar’s defense better last night.
Andy is the man
I wish Grandy would forgot about bunting. He is leading the team in bombs.
Hi JF, Unknown and everyone else
400th start! wow! that’s a lot of starts from Andy
Whats up Luis. I’m pumped to watch Andy work. I missed him last year.
UnKnown: My crystal ball.
Go, Yankees!!!
Tarnish these halos!
Me too….Lucky break for Izturis
Also, here… http://espn.go.com/mlb/standings/_/type/wild-card
That was a strike to Pujols
That is just 400th career start as a Yankee right? Not overall
Ah, jeez, keep it together Jays. We don’t need an O’s comeback. Keep it together. Keep it together. K.I.T. Keep it together.
The Hansons,
Gotcha. ha
Cano has had a lot of trouble this year getting balls out of his glove on turns….weird.
“That is just 400th career start as a Yankee right? Not overall”
right….483rd overall
Yes, Unknown 400 as a Yankee. You could add 70-80 to that total.
Yup Blake, that’s the second transfer that Cano hasn’t been able to make.
Yup, predictable…They are going to pitch him with low pitches and off speed stuff to Tex.
You guys think there will ever be another 300 game winner someday?
I’m starting to really hate Trout
Wow!
“You guys think there will ever be another 300 game winner someday?”
yes….he plays for the Yankees.
Trout is unreal.
That was like something you see in a video game not real life.
Damn!! I am starting to dislike this Trout kid. What a play
Kid can do it all…..
I dislike him more now that I have learned that although he is from NJ, Trout grew up a Phillies fan.
Yup,
CC might have a chance…After him….Very difficult
aside from the great play by Trout…..great piece of hitting by Swisher…wish he’d do that more.
Told u trout is annoying
Here are 3 things to like: O’s lost. Rays lost. Sox are in and endless rain delay that will sap their energy win or lose. Go Yanks!
Trout & Trumbo…. These guys are a pain in my ass. They are on my short list…
yankeefeminista May 29th, 2012 at 10:27 pm
I dislike him more now that I have learned that although he is from NJ, Trout grew up a Phillies fan.
=======================
Really?? Now I dislike him even more.
Blake – I think he has a good chance. That would be awesome.
I hate watching Haren pitch knowing that the Yanks could of had him and the Angels got him for nothing.
I began to root against him from last night.
Trout is really annoying. Drill him.
Halladay has a shot as well if he can stay healthy but a lot depends on who he’s playing for too….the Phillies need to retool quickly for him to have a chance or he needs to get on another team…..after him and CC I’m not sure….everyone else has a long ways to go.
Mmmm. Trout… http://epicureanbliss.com/2010.....sea/trout/
List of players Teixera has cost teams (Braves and Yankees): Elvis Andrus, Feliz, Saltalamacchia, Matt Harrison, and Mike Trout.
Christ, even the YES promos are selling trout.
can see yanks making a play for torii hunter, FA next year.
old age=low salary
My very favorite kind of game. A pitcher’s duel.
I think Andy is actually pitching better than I ever remember him pitching before.
Yankees will break through, hopefully by the 5th. (my raggedy prediction)
Young players are exciting to watch. Watching these young guys makes me hate the Montero trade even more.
Now Haren is mixing in his curve even.
I hope they don’t just can that game at Fenway. The Tigers can get 3 runs in the ninth off of Aceves. They saw him well yesterday in that blow out.
Wonder what pitcher the Yanks could have traded Trout for?
And from the “grass is always greener” annals –
Mike Trout is playing beautifully for the Halos. You have no idea what Mike Trout would do for the Yankees. (I’m sure some of you would like to find out, of course.)
blake May 29th, 2012 at 10:33 pm
List of players Teixera has cost teams (Braves and Yankees): Elvis Andrus, Feliz, Saltalamacchia, Matt Harrison, and Mike Trout.
==================================
When you look at it like this, the amount of talent given in exchange has no correlation with Tex’s value, even at his best.
yanks would not have traded trout
Before beating the M’s last time out. Haren did lose to SD, Oak, and MIN.
And Martin has come alive!!!!
Atta boy, Jeet. Let’s get Andy some runs here.
yanks will hit for andy
Come on Grandy wait for your pitch
Nice job by jete….time for him to get hot again.
“Before beating the M’s last time out. Haren did lose to SD, Oak, and MIN.”
I’m pretty sure I heard that in 3 of the last 4 games where Haren lost, the Halos didn’t score a run. Not one run.
Teams slump.
Arod will be the man in this inning
boy Granderson isn’t reading that split at all….
Terrible at bat for Granderson. He and Swisher have to prove they can lay off that off speed crap in the dirt. Otherwise they are going to continue to see it after the pitcher gets ahead in every at bat.
luis – Russell and Derek want to make you proud. Small ball!
Maybe Haren can show Hughes how to throw that….
Way to lay off that last splitter Alex. Great take.
Heads up base running by the Captain
YES!!!
Great job Alex.
Neighborhood play, bye bye.
****
Mike Scoscia ALWAYS looks constipated.
Great hustle DJ….Aybar saved a run….I like him better when he’s wrapped up in a ski mask.
Nice AB.
He beat the throw anyways. Had nothing to do with pulling the fielder off the bag or not. Good call.
Huge point in the game right here now for Cano and the Yankees.
I have seen enough of Aybar’s range already. Damn he keeps everything in the infield. Sciosica always has to cry about everything.
Alex is seeing the ball really well….he laid off some tough pitches that AB
COME ON ROB-BY!!!!
Cano looks like he is pressing
bases loaded…..the Angels have us right where they want us.
I bet Jete’s saying, Hey! You took away a hit from me already, I’m not giving you this base, too!”
Obviously safe. Love how Jete helps out the ump there.
trisha – true pinstriped blue May 29th, 2012 at 10:39 pm
And Martin has come alive!!!!
——-
He reached on an error.
grr.
“bases loaded…..the Angels have us right where they want us.”
**********
“He reached on an error.”
Hey he reached. He could have Kd.
I didn’t see the play. I just looked up and saw him on base.
**********
3-2-1 – start the complaining about bases loaded…
That was outside…But it was too close to take
More Cano RISP fail. Can’t be taking that pitch there.
Haren’s split is nasty….you see 2 or 3 of those in a row then a heater has got to be tough to pull the trigger on
That was real surprising
The pitch looked inside.
At least they are running his pitch count up.
Mike Scoscia ALWAYS looks constipated.
=========================
not as much as papelbum
BloggingBombers
The Yankees have one hit in their last 32 plate appearances with the bases loaded. No pressure, Robbie.
“3-2-1 – start the complaining about bases loaded…”
yea…..but it is hilarious how many times they have had the bases loaded recently on not scored at all….especially the times it’s been with no outs
“Haren’s split is nasty….you see 2 or 3 of those in a row then a heater has got to be tough to pull the trigger on”
Good for you, blake. You could have gone for the easy one, but you didn’t. Kudos.
3-2-1 – start the complaining about bases loaded…
========================
don’t instigate–semi-troll alert!
Outside
the stranded bases loaded thing is usually followed by the other team capitalizing in the same or next inning. i hope it doesn’t happen here.
Yeah, the crazy part is that Haren is no pitcher. He doesn’t know how to bear down and get that final out with the bases loaded! Only Yankee pitchers can do that.
Really needed a big hit from Cano there. That is how you win tough ball games like tonight.
You never know how many more chances you might get and now Andy has to continue throw up zeros.
“the stranded bases loaded thing is usually followed by the other team capitalizing in the same or next inning. i hope it doesn’t happen here.”
Funny you say that. I almost wonder if there’s some psychological let down and that carries over into the next inning.
COME ON ANDY!!!
What a disaster this team is with RISP
and/or momentum gained from other side. The point is, though, that they are 1 for 33 in their last 14 at bats w/ the bases loaded. they better make up for that later on in the season.
JOBBED!
pretty darn close right there.
Smh Trout
This kid is killing us. With assistance from the ump, this time.
he’s their best player already
and….there you go. runs after leaving the bases loaded. never fails.
Trout is a maniac
It’s official….I hate Trout.
GORGEOUS!
Love Chavez at third. Love Chavez in the game, period.
Nice play by Chavez.
not real smart there though….nice play Chavy
Nice play by Chavez.
The Yanks have to play perfect defense if they want to beat the Angels
luis, +1.
Hey everybody
Got home late just caught up I and am exhausted, Don’t know if I can make the whole game.
Trout was Hooked hahaha.
SH*T.
Crap
I knew this would happen after the Yanks failed to score once again….
Bad call by ump costs us three runs.
ugh
@#$^!
Cmon Jete, that’s a routine grounder..
Can’t go up there against Pujols.
I can’t stand Pujols. He seems like a jerk that is obsessed with himself.
Albert’s swing is so good….he keeps the bat in the zone forever for a power guy.
Straw what bad call? I missed it
What?
Out
He was out.
come on people. did anyone not think that after they left bases loaded AGAIN, that the Angels would not score the very next half inning? its basically the same story every day.
he’s out…..terrible
Great job ump
He was out
F-ing mlb umps suck.
Baseball need replay
not really even close…..
Tar-
Andy got squeezed on strike three on Trout.
andy is on the ropes
“Bad call by ump costs us three runs.”
That’s the reality.
The Yankees will get those runs back, but the point is that Andy shouldn’t have to get more than 3 outs per inning.
**********
I’m just putting this out there because it’s on my mind. There doesn’t have to be anything to it, but I’m still wondering if Stewart calls a better game than Martin. There is probably no right or wrong to that, but it appears that our pitchers do better with Stewart in there. Anecdotal more than anything on my part.
We know Andy isn’t someone who likes to call his own games.
Okay, I said it. minor league grrr…
TheStraw May 29th, 2012 at 10:55 pm
This kid is killing us.
—————
It’s like when the Cowboys didn’t draft Randy Moss and he made it his goal to kill them every time he faced them.
The Gods of baseball are unforgiving
Gonna be tough to get three off Haren, have to just chip away at his pitch count and hope to knock him out of the game.
Straw
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
what did that ump see?
With today’s tech, there is no reason for all these calls to be blown.
The pitch to Trout was really borderline…..it was probably a ball by a hair to be honest
Trish,
Stewart frames the pitches better than Martin and has quicker release on the throws.
Gonna be tough to get three off Haren, have to just chip away at his pitch count and hope to knock him out of the game.
___________
Especially when they are 1-33 withbases loaded and 0-everything with RISP….
Guess we need 4 solo homeruns here….
I can’t wait until this series is over. Nothing ever goes right for the Yanks in this ballpark.
Predictable
angels a hot team…patient hitters…good team, could get a WC.
when Ibanez hits one ….he hits it.
Raul. Hope he packed a lunch to eat while he’s on second.
Ibanez is a pleasure to see….chapeau!!
Scrape together a run here.
Here we go.
“Great job ump”
“He was out”
“Baseball need replay”
“F-ing mlb umps suck.”
But the blind thief Selig couldn’t care less about that. Just like he couldn’t care less about the unbalanced schedule and the “fairness” of certain teams having to play each other multiple times and the exhaustion factor at the end of the season for some and not others because of it.
There is a definite place in baseball hell waiting for Selig. Turd.
On the bright side, this is my excuse to go to sleep early. The AL this year is so strangely tight that I’d never be surprised to wake up and hear there were 5 lead changes, but the Yanks won’t score inane here and business as usual
same approach as last time Swish….
luis, the baseball Gods have a sense of humor too.
Just hang on. Yankees will take this game.
Wow that was amazing. Go Swish!!!
Atta boy, Nick.
Wow, a RISP RBI with only one out!
RISP!
nice work
Ok we got one back, let’s keep chipping away..
whoa whoa whoa…. stop spoiling the fans with hits like that swish
Things don’t have to happen on lohud’s schedule. The game is 9 innings. Enjoy every moment of it and anticipate good things. They’ll come.
Lets get some back. The Angels are much better than their record. Swish its a start….
No hero swings please
Why are they laughing with their as when he’s the guy stealing cars from their kids?
Small steps. Plenty of game left…
To be fair, he tried to go the other way. That’s a start.
RIP Doc Watson. Great man, unbelievable guitar player.
Can Martin use any of his millions to buy himself a hit?
“Small steps. Plenty of game left…”
AMEN!
Did Andy change his workout routine? He looks beefier
for a moment earlier this year, it looked like we were poised to take the season series from this Angels team
“Can Martin use any of his millions to buy himself a hit?”
Awww sunny, you should have been around last night. You would have been high-fiving Russell. He really did some nice things.
To be fair, Curtis, Robby, Tex, and Chavez are hitless tonight also. Haren is a fairly good pitcher, you know.
Cant stand that every time I turn the TV on the Yankees are losing. This team is just soft.
Really glad they traded a catcher that could hit because we had s many catchers
Cano would be a helluva QB.
I would never throw Pujols a high fastball. He needs to be pitched around and drill Trumbo & Trout….Get the Angels out of their comfort zone…
not too crazy about sitting this high up on the rail. never had a fear of heights until the past few years. i could never do the monsta seats at fenway. 3 bp balls that look like new.
That was a strike.
Nice shut down inning there.
Gives us a chance to chip away some more at the deficit.
Amen to trisha’s amen…hey, waft some of that incense and peppermint over here, would ya yogini?
good bounce back by Andy….lets get him some runs
Watching Trout singlehandedly demolish the Yanks, it makes you realize just how rotten a group of minor league players the Yanks have. None have the guts or talent to make a nice contribution to the major league team.
YF, I will not indulge it. I will not indulge it. I mentioned earlier how nice last night went despite the infestation. When nobody bothers, it does seem to dissipate.
Pat M hang a rally monkey from the rail so we know where you are sitting.
Jack Cust has 5 HR in ast 19 AB. Branyan also activated today. Any chance we see these guys if Brett’s injury lingers? Their bats are preferable to Wise.
BOOOOO!!!!!!
I figured Jeter wouldn’t see all fastballs again this at bat. Haren going off speed this time around on the Captain.
Cano has to be the most overrated player in baseball.
He’s nothing but a big, fat choke with RISP.
You think we are disappointed in our season so far? How do you think they feel in Detroit?
Cust was on my fantasy team several seasons ago. When they played at McCoy, I wanted to tell him that but it sounds like it could be a left-handed compliment, so I didn’t do it.
Most NL Pitchers hit better than Martin but Girardi doesnt care.. Nothing strange really since Martin and Girardi are the same player. Andy likes throwing to Stewart but Girardi isnt intuitive enough to see that.
I feel bad for Andy, every game he pitches our offense gives him absolutely zero run support,
So tonight is our turn to send the Angels to heartbreak hotel.
“You think we are disappointed in our season so far? How do you think they feel in Detroit?”
I’m not at all disappointed in our season so far. Teams slump. We got our first one over with.
Why don’t they show Girardi everytime Andy gets squeezed on the corner? I am tired fo Scioscia cam.
If we have to do it with the long ball tonight, so be it.
“So tonight is our turn to send the Angels to heartbreak hotel.”
I was thinking the same thing.
Arod the new rod Carew
Haren got away with that mistake to Arod
Haren is making it look easy tonight. When you throw a ton of off speed pitches 99% of the time you are going to be successful against the Yanks lineup.
Tar-
Wish I had that faith, but this stadium is a jinx for us. The angels have won something like 8 walk offs against the Yanks here.
trisha – true pinstriped blue May 29th, 2012 at 11:22 pm
If we have to do it with the long ball tonight, so be it.
——
When don’t they have to do it with the long ball. Only team left in the Majors yet to win a game without home run.
Amazing how the yankee bench has under a .240 batting average.
luis May 29th, 2012 at 6:44 pm
Yankee Trader May 29th, 2012 at 6:40 pm
Luis-
While Carlton was great, the best lefty pitcher ever, in his prime years was Sandy Koufax.
You set me up for this:
If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
==================================
LMAO!! There you go again!! No doubt about Koufax, i just didn’t get to see him. That’s why i said that i have seen That 1,2 punch of Drisdale and Koufax must have been a sight to see.
=============================
Ask the Yanks of 63′ World Series. I think we scored 4 runs.
Sweeny Murti ?@YankeesWFAN
Yanks are 10-21 in Anaheim since 2006, 5 walkoff losses including last night.
Those Ranger antlers have nothing on that horrific rally monkey. And the oppressive Angel’s fan who used to come here and yell “RALLY MONKEY” when we were playing the Angels and that stupid little thing would show up on the screen. I don’t have any propensity for violence but I swear I could have broken the jaw of that Angels fan.
It’s the rally monkey…We have to kidnap the damn monkey
Scioscia would love Martin
“Haren is making it look easy tonight. When you throw a ton of off speed pitches 99% of the time you are going to be successful against the Yanks lineup.”
That’s because they just aren’t that good. Do well against the crappy A’s and get the sh** kicked out of them by the Angels. They’ll win 2, then lose 3, then win a few and lose a few. Might finish 5 games over .500 at the end of the season.
And every starter has a good game and then a rotten game, like Pettitte tonight.
Thanks UnKnown, that’s the stat I was looking for…
“When don’t they have to do it with the long ball. Only team left in the Majors yet to win a game without home run.”
Perhaps they can apologize to you for having power.
LMAO!!!!!
Yup, no problem. You line of thinking was right on.
“Amazing how the yankee bench has under a .240 batting average.”
Why?
The Yankees haven’t valued a good, productive bench for a long time now.
trisha – true pinstriped blue May 29th, 2012 at 11:22 pm
If we have to do it with the long ball tonight, so be it.
===========================
Trisha, ya’ know we love ya’ ! But, I’ve been to Anaheim too many times and left “broken.”
Angels KNOW they can beat us.
But, I sure hope you’re right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We need more POWER pitching to beat teams like Angels and the others in post season.
trisha’s golden pompoms should really be sent for display at Yogi Berra’s Yankee museum. I mean, would someone please at least get this beautifual Yankee fan a bobblehead day?
That would be sweet or you know they could just win a game without hitting a HR. Whatever works.
Upward and Onward!
YF and mick – are you here?
Notice no Sux cap will be awarded tonight. Though I’d almost agree to wear one just to jam something somewhere.
But ain’t gonna do it.
“Angels KNOW they can beat us.”
Yanks are almost always psyched out and intimidated by the Angels and are beaten before the game even begins…like tonight.
Hi 4 NYY,
Yup, never got the chance to see them. But i understand that Koufax was something else.
“Amazing how the yankee bench has under a .240 batting average.”
Why?
The Yankees haven’t valued a good, productive bench for a long time now.

Somehow it seems even worse.
4 NYY. I still say the Yankees can do it. Don’t care what has happened in the past.
ONWARD AND UPWARD!
Straw
I know it sucks, they are so damn annoying. But really it just means we are way over due.
2009 was sweet though wasn’t it.
trout is the games next great ballplayer
Sock? Meet puppet.
Puppet? Meet sock.
**********
Chavez is awesome at third. Well, he has been a gold glover. So why not.
Two very good plays from Chavez….I smell a big rally this next inning…Cano is going yard
I love watching Chavez play 3rd base. Even after all of his injuries he is still so smooth over there.
luis May 29th, 2012 at 11:29 pm
Hi 4 NYY,
Yup, never got the chance to see them. But i understand that Koufax was something else.
===========================
Mantle homered of Koufax, but not much more offense was seen.
Andy really only made one mistake tonight. Unfortunately, he made it to the wrong guy.
Trisha-
Maybe he start his own board for all his conversations with his various selves.
Great job by Andy….nice plays by Chavez….would be nice to get some runs
“trisha’s golden pompoms should really be sent for display at Yogi Berra’s Yankee museum. I mean, would someone please at least get this beautifual Yankee fan a bobblehead day?”
Awww, I want to be part of the gang. Okay. I’m with the program.
THE YANKEES WILL NEVER WIN. THE ANGELS HAVE THEIR NUMBER.
LOOK AT CAPTAIN GIDP.
THIS GAMES IS LOST ALREADY.
I HAVE A FEELING THAT BASES LOADED IS GOING TO COME BACK TO BITE US.
THIS YANKEE TEAM JUST ISN’T THAT GOOD.
ROBBY SUCKS. GIRARDI SHOULD DROP HIM TO 9TH.
*********
There. I feel like one of the gang now Hassey.
Lay off that sh*t Tex
That splitter is nasty.
Can’t lay off the splitty.
Trish, yes still here.
Cant stand how this team makes every pitcher look like Cy Young
With the day off will that mean no Stewart catching this week?
Yeah, the Yanks really have a chance in this game, lol!
And the sweep comes tomorrow.
I’d love to see a fb get fouled back thru the screen into boras head
Sux finally got above .500 in like their 5th try. Dang
Ooooh, that lightening quick bat speed from Ibanez.
I went downstairs to get something and the inning is over already? Damn…
The umpire is nasty too. As Straw said (or was it Tar) he already cost us three runs. If he didn’t, we’d be winning now! (if you buy into the fallacy of the predetermined outcome!)
The fallacy of the predetermined outcome. AKA the Yankees can’t win in Anaheim.
Angels have learned very well how to pitch us. Lots of off speed stuff early and hard stuff late in the game from the pen.
( others have too )
Maybe if we keep it close, we can hit a dinger or two.
Somehow trish it sounds less annoying coming from you
Craptastic inning.
Don’t blame the umps, it’s us.
Hassey May 29th, 2012 at 11:35 pm
I’d love to see a fb get fouled back thru the screen into boras head
——-
HAHA. That’s great.
“With the day off will that mean no Stewart catching this week?”
I’m hoping it doesn’t mean that.
“The umpire is nasty too.”
Yeah, it’s always somebody else’s fault when the Yanks play like dog crap.
The Angels are just dominating the Yanks, as they seem to do almost every season. The umpiring has zero to do with it.
Hassey May 29th, 2012 at 11:37 pm
Somehow trish it sounds less annoying coming from you
——-
+1
Hassey May 29th, 2012 at 11:37 pm
Somehow trish it sounds less annoying coming from you
============================
Yup, even if she uses capital letters….
Pujols has really been struggling with off speed stuff in the AL. There is no reason to attack him with fastballs.
Andy learned from his mistake to Albert. Are you watching, Hughes?
“I went downstairs to get something and the inning is over already? Damn…”
That’s the Yankee way!
When you only throw 89-90, you can’t give these power guys FB’s in the middle of the plate.
Waaah Umpires Waaah
Seriously I think everyone watches enough baseball to know that it all evens out of the course of the season. If your going to watch this sport its something that you deal with.
The crying after every pitch that doesn’t go the Yankees way is pretty pathetic.
Great. Now the Yanks can really pack it in.
“Andy learned from his mistake to Albert.”
So what?
Pettitte already cost them the game. Who cares what happens when the game is a loss and the AB doesn’t matter? Get him out when it counts.
Straw,
You spoke too soon

Why did I say that ? Cutter wasn’t down enough.
Trumbo is so much better than last year.
“Somehow trish it sounds less annoying coming from you”
I can’t tell you how foul it felt even to be typing it!
******
“Don’t blame the umps, it’s us.”
Absoutely us. Don’t let the multiple bad calls that caused Andy to have to pitch longer, or the bad call at second cause you a moment’s pause. The Yankees are making this mediocre pitcher look good, NYY. Disgusting.
Cant wait to hear how Pettite only threw a few bad pitches from Girardi
Anaheim flat out owns the Yanks and has them playing like a scared little league team.
Unknown – black!
Up!
In!
Finish those word associations!!!
Keep on crying. The score isn’t changing. Deal with it.
Another young versatile lineup making us all drool
Why is this asshole here. Go back to Milwaukee-jackoff…
a very long homer by trumbo. angel hitters are just staying back and waiting for a hanger and then they bang em.
“Keep on crying. The score isn’t changing. Deal with it.”
Seems I’m dealing with it much better than you are!!!!
Any fan who criticizes Andy Pettitte is not a Yankee fan in my book. You can call me a Pollyanna or whatever, but ctiriticizing that guy after the way he’s p,ayed after year off pisses me off.
It can’t ever be the Yankees players fault. Oh no not ever. Always the Umps. Yup thats the ticket.
Onward and Upward
Trumbo looks like Comanche obrien
Another young versatile lineup making us all drool
_____________________________________________
That is just it. every team gets younger and versatile. While the Yankees are the same old routine.. getting so frustrated and disgusted
remember when we had bases loaded and did squat with it for the 32nd time in 33 times, and then the Angels scored three runs the next half inning?
Could it be any more clear that these two trolls are the same guy? Or as Trisha says, sock and puppet?
Trisha is the Baghdad Bob of this board.
No Trisha actually your not. Your completely boring with your same schtick night in and night out.
“Why is this asshole here. Go back to Milwaukee-jackoff…”
jackamir – most of us have decided to ignore “it”. That way it doesn’t get the attention it so desperately wants.
We’ve decided to do that with all of the obvious trolls.
Karma is a biotch. So let them bring the crap they’re putting out back to their team of choice!

=================================
I understand you’re in Vegas somewhere. I’m in Henderson.
I blame Phil Hughes once again. We needed yesterday’s game. We had Haren today, a winning streak on the line, and a 3-0 lead. A win yesterday, eases the pain of today’s loss. Hughes basically lost us 2 games the way I see it.
“Could it be any more clear that these two trolls are the same guy? Or as Trisha says, sock and puppet?”
As I’ve said before, check IP addresses and you’ll see that is not the case. But keep whining about it all you want.
UnKnown,
I agree with you statement generally regarding umps vs. bad play, but the non strike call on Trout was a pretty big play in this game.
Damn robbed twice
“No Trisha actually your not. Your completely boring with your same schtick night in and night out.”
Then why read it slugger?
And while we’re at it. It isn’t “your”. It’s “you’re”. No charge for the grammar lesson.
That’s DEFENSE !

Read somewhere Banuelos/Hughes for Garza was a possibility. I’d sign up for that. A pitcher we know is good. Has experience. Can pitch. Send Hughes to Wrigleyville and he that way, if he gets really good, he won’t be able to hurt us.

It’s obvious that Granderson doesn’t see the splitter out of Haren’s hand at all. Some very odd swings tonight from him.

Don’t worry I can go over it again for you. This time I will go slow.
When a pitcher throws 4 balls to a batter that is a walk. Don’t worry that lesson is free of charge.
And the Yankees are 2 games out of first in the toughest division in the AL East. Imagine if they were any good!
“Awful defensive for a guy who claims innocence.”
Not defensive at all. Just factual. And I’m only innocent of having one name on here, like that’s some big deal, lol.
And wasn’t that a great, clutch AB from Grandy?

If you hate the team, go post somewhere else. I really wish there was an ignore button so I didn’t have to read his posts.

===========================
That’s why he should stay back and go oppo…Wait until he can determine that he can drive it..If he commits early like he did, he is going to roll over and end up hitting a weak grounder. I think the problem is that they seem to have this “Jeckell and Hyde” personality at the plate, the moment they see some people on base they switch the all or nothing approach and start swinging for the fences.

This game is still right there for the taking.
“I am having a hard time ignoring. To me there is a difference between frustrated griping, which I think a lot practice here, and out and out mean spiritedness”
The only “mean spiritedness” comes from homers using foul language and engaging in personal attacks.

==================
Since 95′. Calico Ridge, about a mile from Lake Las Vegas.
I wonder if Hughes should throw the cutter like Andy does. Down and in instead of trying to hit corners like Mo. But it probably will work more with LH because Pettitte usually gets Ks with it against RH.
Let’s go, get something going here against Haren and finish off the comeback against their pen.
YES AL! Come on now.
ONWARD AND UPWARD TO ANOTHER BEATDOWN FROM ANAHEIM!
luis, Grandy just cannot stay back on the splitter.
Alex is really on the ball.
Bye, Haren. Maybe we’ll hit the pen.

Good assessment, and don’t forget Jeter still hitting.
Thank You Mikey boy.
I would rather face anyone other than Haren right now.
Need Alex to hit his homeruns. I get nervous when he doesn’t do it against teams that always seem to be an automatic. I was hoping for 4 this series.
this is why arod should be 2nd in the lineup.
still has a good OBP.
Jeter and Alex on would give Granderson a chance at more RBIs so he doesnt sit on 15 homeruns and only 26 rbis…
Trisha, I’m sorry I showed my bad side. I let that little person get to me.
Anyone is coming in ! LOL
YF,
Why do you think this happens…Is it that a good a pitch?
4 NYY – Yup.
“Swisher should be 3 for 3 tonight. Rob city for him.”
Again, it’s always bad luck, lol.
What about your personal attack on Trisha, calling her Bagdad Bob.
Oh right, I forgot, it’s not a personal attack if you do it, only if others do it to you. You must be a liberal.

I would think he hits at least one here. He loves hitting here and he seemed to find something in his swing at the end of the last home stand.
He is still getting on base a lot. So I will take the production.
Guess not his turn.
What?!! The Angels don’t relegate their pitchers to innings that are set in concrete? What kind of managing is THAT??
Cano is really struggling again.
Cano has been rolling over a ton of balls recently. Everything he hits is to 1st or 2nd base.
Frieri must be set up to close tonight for them.
This is smart. They are actually using their top relief guy in probably the toughest situation of the night.
Tying run to the plate.
Chances are……….here
The ump is calling the low strike that he wasn’t calling earlier. Damn!! another great stop from the infield.
It’s amazing what range can do…..
Luis, it’s a good pitch, but Grandy’s overly aggressive, big swing, and tries to pull the ball mostly. Think he should be more patient vs. Haren.
Not sure I like this move by Joe.
Smart Joe very Smart. Come on Smiley Jones
CAN WE DO SOMETHING WITH A RUNNER N 3RD AND LESS THGAN 2 OUTS
Wang,
Very smart managing
Come on smiley !
angels are a very good ballclub. they do have bullpen issues however. very athletic
“What about your personal attack on Trisha, calling her Bagdad Bob.”
If I said she looked like Baghdad Bob, that would be a personal attack. Or calling someone an ***hole (which I was called) is a personal attack.
But calling her out for being literally willfully blind to what is going on is hardly a personal affront, imo.
And I’m about as far from a liberal as you can get. I believe people should be held accountable for their actions, just as I feel the Yanks players should be held accountable for their horrible play and Cashman should be held accountable for the horrible roster construction.
I hate taking Ibanez out of the game
The Yankee Way with RISP.
What a pathetic ballclub.
Everything was down from Downs !
Straw and jackamir – there is nothing to apologize for! I used to call out that sock puppet all the time. But then I didn’t bother anymore. Not worth my time. But been there, done that. So I understand.
But I have a song for you that I think you’ll appreciate. I dedicate it to the trolls and the crying regular.
************
I was all right for a while, I could smile for a while
But the Yanks lost last night, and I am filled with fright
And tonight I am so low.
Though you cheered them on, it’s just a con
So I’ve been crying and I’m blue,
You still believe, it makes me want to heave.
So I am crying, crying, crying, crying, crying
It’s hard to understand but your cheery land
Can start me crying.
I thought that I could boo and boo
But you won’t cry, it’s true
I hate you even more than I did before
But trisha, what can I do
For you won’t agree, so I’ll always be
Crying and so blue, crying and so blue
Yes, you’re their pawn, so from this moment on
I’ll be crying, crying, crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying and so blue-oo-oo-oo-ooooo!
Credit to Roy Orbison.
He may have good numbers but Jones barely friggin plays.
Like I said, not sure about the move. Ibanez is a more patient hitter than Jones. Screw the lefty-righty stuff.
OF COURSE. THEY CANT GET A PRODUCTIVE OUT
The Yanks are getting killed by off speed pitches in this series

Our pal Melky just got his 49th hit in the month of May, tying Willie Mays for the franchise record since the move to San Francisco. Buster Posey then drove him in.
The Melk Men are campaigning to send Melky to the All-Star Game in KC:

No, Luis, unfortunately I was agreeing.
Nick, saw the “melkmen” on mlb net when they interviewed them earlier. Kinda freaky, but go Melky!
Why is Pettitte out there for the 8th? So stupid, save his arm for later in the year.
“Friggin fielders …..the yanks have been hitting it on the screws for a lot of the game, especially Swish. BABIP not our friend tonight.”
You guys are hilarious!
Always bad luck, never just crappy hitting!
Angels don’t seem to be having problems finding holes or rocks over the fence.
Maybe the Yanks just flat-out stink and can’t compete with the Angels?
“When a pitcher throws 4 balls to a batter that is a walk. Don’t worry that lesson is free of charge.”
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And duh, when a pitcher throws one ball and three strikes to a batter, it’s not a walk. Unless the umpire calls some of the strikes balls that is.
But you were too busy sucking lemons to notice. Not a problem. Everyone else here did.
Now go chase yourself, wouldya? That way you won’t be forced to watch the rest of this dreadful game that will keep you up tonight, I’m sure. If they lose tonight, Yankee season is OVAH!
Could easily have been an error.
Do you even watch baseball? That was a very difficult play on a hard hit ball than Bourjos made look somewhat routine. A great defensive play. Three of them on Swish tonight. It’s not bad hitting by Swish. Others maybe, but not him tonight. Jones AB was a waste.
Pettitte pitched a good game. Bad calls by the ump cost him some runs. Three, I think it was.
But he battled. Andy is the real deal. We all know it. Well, we with eyes do anyway.
Yesterday was the game to win – Weaver out of the game in the 1st inning and scoring 8 runs
But thanks to Phil Useless, we lost that one. Now we have 5 ERA Nova on the mound to avoid a sweep. Good times.
Melky is the bomb, in or out of a Yankee uni.
Good for him.
It would be great if he and Robby both made it to the ASG.
Trisha,
Bud Selig is on the crowd at the stadium….
muwarriors,
Something tells me you wouldn’t be able to say these things to the players’ faces.
And why didn’t you try to work in baseball if you know so much? Maybe you could have hired or drafted some better players than these bums.
I’ll settle for 1-3 in Anaheim and a 4-2 road trip to the coast. I think anyone one would.
“Do you even watch baseball? That was a very difficult play on a hard hit ball than Bourjos made look somewhat routine. A great defensive play.”
That was a GREAT play?!?!
He caught it on the casual run. Looked like an out from the moment it left the bat. But I will certainly give you that it was a 100% better AB than what Jones came up with.
Boone Logan has been spectacular this season.

The loser’s lament that is so often said about failing Yankee starters.
trumbo looks like a young mark mcwuire in so many ways. yanks infield looks tired
Straw, not sure.
That’s good situational hitting by Kendrick….I think that may be the game….Pettitte pitch a very good game regardless, two mistakes the whole night…You can’t ask him to shut down every offense he faces…Last night’s game hurts more now.
I’m afraid the Angels will eat Nova alive.
Use your eyes Trisha and click on that gif. One pitch maybe you can cry about and that was extremely borderline.

Luis, agree about Andy. And Angels have a very good offense.
Big deal what is the difference if it’s 2-1 or 5-1. This lineup has zero consistency and so frustrating to watch.

If I was a beat reporter, I would certainly not let Girardi get away with the ridiculous answers he gives and wouldn’t let Tex get away with the crap he spouts. Would I use more tact? Sure, but the comments from the players and manager are so out and out comical, that they need to be called out.
And I’ve coached high school baseball before and now currently coach girls softball. BTW, those girls play with more intensity than anyone on the Yanks.

Loved it. That was much needed as a Yankee fan.
“5 runs in 7+ innings is a “very good game”?????????????????”
Were you here yesterday? You would have thought Hughes threw a no-hitter the way he was getting praised for “battling” through an unlucky 5 innings while giving up 11 hits and 7 runs.
Then people were actually elated that Hughes got a ND, as if he deserved one. It was quite astounding. Though Andy deserves much more of the benefit of the doubt than Hughes does, this place can turn a 1.1 IP, 10 H, 10 ER performance into a “learning” experience.
“And that’s in the past and the present is back to misery vs Anaheim.”
That what have you done for me lately mentality is hard to swallow for a true fan of a team.

Wang, his peripherals are really good though: 9.00 K/9 and 2.73 BB/9, as is his stuff. He just needs to have his FB command and his good slider tomorrow.
Pat M,
They scored eight runs last night! Bad pitching lost the game last night, tonight was a combination of bad pitching, facing a good pitcher, and some bad ABs.
It isn’t over ’til it’s over.
And may I remind all of you who are gushing to the heavens over the Angels that they were 8-15 in the month of April. Were you all convinced then?
It’s a long season. Very easy to look at the most recent wave and make some all-inclusive determination. Easy, but not very scientific in terms of an entire season.

I agree with you about some of their answers. Girardi’s comments in particular can be very irritating at times. If you were to put them to task more for that, fine. I still maintain that if you couldn’t say something to someone’s face though, you shouldn’t say it at all. I think you are out of line with the way you talk about some of these players.
You aren’t here to contribute anything positive. If it is 100% negative, you should be banned. Obviously everyone will say negative things from time to time. But you are 100%.

See ya’ll tomorrow! Go Yankees.
“Were you here yesterday? You would have thought Hughes threw a no-hitter the way he was getting praised for “battling” through an unlucky 5 innings while giving up 11 hits and 7 runs.”
IMO, fans have invested so much hope in Hughes being a phenom that they can’t look objectively at his performance. The guy (and Joba) were untouchable at one time. The Yankees could have had almost anyone in a trade package for either one of them. To see that Hughes is really just a number 5 guy at best is a pretty rude awakening and huge disappointment. I just think his stuff plays so much better as a reliever and it’s folly to force him into a starter’s role when his secondary pitches and mental makeup are so weak. It’s going to be equally hard to come to grips with the fact that the Killer B’s are Killer Busts.
This game got away from NY in the 3rd inning. As many expected, leaving them loaded would come back to haunt us at the end of the night.
And then to top it off they came up with a 3 spot.

luis,
What should he do with Trout, the unstoppable fish?
==============================
He is one hell of a player…In his case i would stay away, he showed tonight that he can handle the inside pitch very well.
Better pitching, better manager = better team. Guess who.
“hard to believe that the bombers came into town on a 5 game roll. they need a gardner or 2 . sad to say this but what i’ve seen the past 2 nights is very unsettling. club looks old”
Pat M – any team looks old when it isn’t winning a few games. The Angels looked ancient in April.
I can’t imagine being unsettled over a few games. The Yankees looked pretty damned young last week!
And they’ll look pretty damned young again I’m sure.
Perspective.
Mike S. is channeling his inner Trisha with those stares at the UMP. LMFAO
REALKevin,
Well said, man,well said.
Bases loaded. Here we go.

4 NYY – Looks like you would be right. Yankees will take tomorrow’s game and go into the day off on Thursday feeling good about things.
Just like last Thursday.
=============================
Everyone has a guess or prediction, I just hate playing these guys. They have our number and are confident they can handle us.
The Yankees know how to battle right to the end.
GO YANKS!!!!
One more base runner. I would love to see that tying run up there here in the 9th.
Boy, that Trout is a real bum ! LOL
Trout needs to go and pick up a couple of powerball tickets.
I suppose that was a routine play too?
come on guys let’s make a game out of it. alex !
Never mind. 1st and second. Darn.
Come on, Alex.

Nova’s xFIP is 3.62.
=======================
This….Meaning that his numbers are deceiving…They should be much better than what they are.
—
I don’t really believe that. If you throw lots of bad pitches, and Nova has, they are going to get hit harder and you will have a higher babip against. It’s not just automatically bad luck if a pitcher has a high babip.
==============================
No doubt that he has to keep the ball down. But every pitcher is bound to make mistakes, he has had very bad luck as well, the BABIP eventually will come down

“5 runs in 7+ innings is a “very good game”?????????????????”
Were you here yesterday? You would have thought Hughes threw a no-hitter the way he was getting praised for “battling” through an unlucky 5 innings while giving up 11 hits and 7 runs.
Then people were actually elated that Hughes got a ND, as if he deserved one. It was quite astounding. Though Andy deserves much more of the benefit of the doubt than Hughes does, this place can turn a 1.1 IP, 10 H, 10 ER performance into a “learning” experience.
———————————
I think it was more that earlier in the season he would have been out of the game by the 4th. 2 of the 3 runs after the 1st were more bad luck for him or good luck for the Angels. He pitched into the 6th and could have in my opinion finished the inning. He was at 87 pitches with 1 out at the time. The runner on base got on on a infield single he didn’t field well. So no one is saying he pitched great yesterday. Especially the first inning. But what he was able to do after and go that extra 2 or 3 innings did save the bullpen had Andy struggled tonight.
COME ON ALEX!
Watching the Angels, it is apparent how much more talented they are than us
I still think by the end of the year, TX/LAA will be by far the two best teams. Detroit should be third. TB will probably win the East once their pitching gets in order
Yanks and Sox will make it tough, but I don’t think either has the talent to beat out LAA for the final WC or TB for the division.
Robbie gets a chance for revenge from the 3rd inning.
Well, it doesn’t lack drama!!!!
COME ON ROBBY!!!!!!
Ok, Robbie, you can make it right…..
Is it Don’t cha know time?
Robi is due!
Have been away all week, first time on the forum tonight since and its the same immature people complaining and crying about people posting what they dont agree with.
Heres an idea, go play with action figures or your dolls. You can make them say whatever you want and can stop the perpetual bashing of posters that you aren’t “teamed”up with.
Its really a shame that a good many of you people have completely ruined this forum by driving the majority of the quality posters away. The sad part is you dont even know its your fault because you’re too busy blaming others and not looking at your own self.
Any beginning psycotherapist could use this place to confirm what they’ve read in “psychoanalysis for dummies”. Its beyond pathetic.
Just drive the rest away so you csn post by yourself and be happy. Good luck with that!
tying run to the plate. that’s all you can ask for
“No doubt that he has to keep the ball down. But every pitcher is bound to make mistakes, he has had very bad luck as well, the BABIP eventually will come down”
What on earth is with everyone’s obsession with “bad luck” in explaining the Yanks ineptitude?
Luck has nothing to do with poor play, imo.
Cano needs a shrink right now.
No it wasn’t
Oh well. It would have been sweet!
GET ‘EM TOMORROW!
ONWARD AND UPWARD!!!
Cano has been one of our worst hitters this year. We would have been far better off if this were Ibanez, Grandy, Chavez, Jones or even Chris Stewart.
Bases loaded full of Yankees is a pitchers dream

Right on dude. Don’t let those Halo fans get on you to bad.
Cano proves ONCE AGAIN that he’s the most overrated player (by a gigantic margin) in all of baseball.
His carriage has turned into a rotten pumpkin.
He’s literally now just a poor hitter with RISP.
Pitcher’s*
Very disappointing series so far.
They had vast opportunities and nothing to show for it. It’s deja vu all over again.
Yankees lose.
Let’s take them all out back & ****ing shoot them all.
That would put a smile on some peoples’ face right?
After all, it’s a baseball game.
Later.
“GET ‘EM TOMORROW!
ONWARD AND UPWARD!!!”
ANOTHER LOSS TO LOOK FORWARD TO!!
OH BOY!!

Asylum gates are open.
Cano is as clutchless as they come. He is a buffoon who gets himself out half the time. Pull your head out of your *** Robinson.
Luis, Nova has also been unhittable at times. He is still evolving and integrating the changeup has contributed to his HR numbers. I agree about his BABIP coming down.
“Luck has nothing to do with poor play, imo.”
Well, the baseball gods beg to differ with you. The best players fail seven of ten times. The average fail eight of ten. If you think luck doesn’t account for some of the difference between a good player and a great player, you really don’t know much about mathematics. Nor have you seen Crash Davis soliloquy in Bull Durham.
The season is 1/3 over and our 3-4 hitters are on pace for 63 and 66 rbis. That is pathetic.
“Bases loaded full of Yankees is a pitchers dream”
****************
And the same kinds of laments were heard from Angel fans when the Yanks schooled the Angels at the Stadium in April.
Only the scores were a lot more lopsided when the Yanks schooled the Angels.
It’s two games, not the end of the world.
Turn zee page, and look forward to zee next game!
