CC better put up a lot of 0′s.
MTU,
You can say that again. When Jones is the cleanup hitter, it is not good. I can’t remember the last time he had a good game.
AROD and Tex cannot heal too quickly. This is one of the worst lineups in my memory.
Mac-
Sad thing is they need this game tonight.
Looks to me to be on the big Man’s shoulders.
considering Jones is hitting .139/.222/.264/.486 in the 2nd half and .206/.274/.433/.707 overall vs LHP…..yea this makes tons of sense……
Blake-
Joe threw away the book for a day.

Blake-
Yanks need to reload starting Sat.
2 of 3 from the O’s is mandatory.
Same from TB.
Sad thing is they need this game tonight.

Tonight??????? the Yankee win has you forgetting the game is in a few hours
MTU,
To be fair Girardi doesnt have a ton of options …..his best one may be to just stick Jones therr and hope he runs into one……its rough right nkw vs lefties.
Hope Cash is scouring the waiver wire for help and I woukdnt mjnd seeing what Adams can do…..
I like Blake’s lineup.
But let’s keep the references to Jones suckiness coming. If we all pile on he’ll probably hit a big dinger.
AAO-
Duh.
Sorry.
I have a lot goin’ on around here. My brain is even more fried than usual.
Thanks for correcting me.
Andruw should be due for a big game. He really needs to do something with the bat.
Blake-
Your upgrades are A-Rod, Tex, Pearce, and what’s on the Farm.
That’s about it IMO.

AAO-
Duh.
Sorry.

Honest mistake buddy. I wish the game was tonight because the blog kinda gets dead at night when there is an afternoon game.
“But let’s keep the references to Jones suckiness coming. If we all pile on he’ll probably hit a big dinger.”
Yes…..we need full reverse jinx power today!
Jones sucks and blows at the same time.
He’s a walking Hoover.
Is that good enough Blake ?
Jones batting clean up, LOL…
Can we just let CC hit and play Pearce in RF?
“Your upgrades are A-Rod, Tex, Pearce, and what’s on the Farm.”
What if Alex has a set back? What if Tex’s calf takes 3 weeks instead of 1? The division is probably going to be decided in the next 2-3 weeks…….I dont think they can sit still with the new rules….JMO
MTU,
Yes….keep it up
this is a circa 1989 lineup, but G-Man has no choice
without a HR, it may take 3 hits, 2 walks, a HBP, a balk and an error to score a run (I’m assuming guys don’t take the extra base and Robby T. gets at least one guy thrown out at the plate)
Blake-
Maybe you’ll get your wish but I kinda doubt it.
I understand what you’re saying though.
I think the Pitching is going to have to step up.
Big time.
When Jones was born his Mamma turn to the Dr. and slapped him.
How my doin’ Blake ?
More ?
MTU,
If they cant make a trade they should at least try the internal options they have…..
Blake-
Sure.
I gotta go now.
I’ll try to catch you later.
MTU,
Very good. We should start calling Jonesy AC necause he fans the front row better than anybody since Kearnsy.
Another consequence of Girardi ignoring Romero’s platoon split. Martin should have played today instead of last night.
Wow, I dont think I have ever actually complained about a lineup…but Jones batting cleanup? I would rather have ANYONE else in the lineup batting cleanup except Stewart and maybe Ichiro. Im hoping Jones makes me look stupid for saying that though
Should the Yankees claim Mauer on waivers? Will the Dodgers?
“Another consequence of Girardi ignoring Romero’s platoon split. Martin should have played today instead of last night.”
Yup
I’m expecting the guys 7-9 to do more than 1-6…just a hunch…so you should all put your money on 1-6
Jones should ask his mother to look at his tapes, as she did last year.
Mrs. Jones should be careful what she looks thru – Andruw’s tapes could include video of him with the wife of 2009 teammate Kris Benson
The wide-eyed Ugandan Little Leaguers just rolled through the Yankees clubhouse. They are hanging with Robinson Cano right now. — Jack Curry (@JackCurryYES)
Can any of them hit lefties?
It is what it is with all our injuries – a National League lineup. There aren’t going to be any blowouts so the emphasis – as it was last night – is on starting pitching. CC may well have to go the whole nine today. And if anyone is up to it, he is.
Andruw is hitting .297 .386 .649 1.035 as a DH.
Can’t Pearce play OF?
without a HR, it may take 3 hits, 2 walks, a HBP, a balk and an error to score a run (I’m assuming guys don’t take the extra base and Robby T. gets at least one guy thrown out at the plate)….
That is good! Unfortuately, it will probably also be true. Robbie Thompson is not a good 3B coach and these are roles in which barely 5 minutes per season should be discussed.
Need 8 innings outta CC, with Robertson and Soriano probably being unavailable. Even if Both claim to be ready, they should Not be used. Big picture. Anything less than 8 innings from CC, brings on the Girardi mix-n-match spectacle.(Hands covering eyes).

Hundreds of players have already been passed through revocable trade waivers this month, but the Yankees have yet to run Alex Rodriguez though the process according to Ken Davidoff. A-Rod is currently sidelined with a broken hand and given the five years and $114M left on his contract, no team would claim him anyway. We can dream about the Dodgers taking on his contract, but I suspect they’ve already satisfied their quota for nine-figure commitments this month.

Jim Duquette just said he keeps hearing that Scosica may be out in LA in favor of Francona if they miss the playoffs.
Soriano showed a lot last night. I was so proud of him for how he pitched last night.
Nice to know that Mo is offering advice. If you’re a reliever on the Yankees and you don’t
listen to Mo, there is something wrong with you.
I believe Andru Jones has just a few games left to show NY if he can contribute anything.
My sense is NY held onto Jones for fear he would fall into the hands of some team they will need to beat in September to secure the division, or in October to move onto the next round. He’s the kind of guy who can be dangerous with a bat in his hand when he is seeing the ball well.
Let’s hope he provides some positive drama before the year is up, beginning with today, because his act is really getting stale.
Good morning still?,
Blake,
I liked your lineup better with Blah playing three positions…it sends his value up the roof, it might entice the Dodgers to trade him straight up for Kemp
About Jones…. Well, I offer his one way ticket to Curacao again, last time that woke him up. Not counting on it this time
About reinforcements, I am with MTU, the reinforcements are Arod, Tex and the farm. I don’t see a move at this point, but I have been wrong before.
A. Jones is on his last legs.
Physically his body is breaking down and I don’t see the situation improving.
His defense is getting worse because his body won’t allow him to move quickly.
Appears his bat has slowed done a lot since the season began.
Blah didnt perform last night so hes DHing only today.
The sad part is that there is nothing available once the roster expand. There is not one position player in AAA or AA (other than Nunie and Cervelli) who will ever play more than a handful of games in the majors.
Blake,
What’s on the scouting report for Argh and Oof?
Nibblick,
Mesa, Adams, Z Almonte say hi… Not to mention Mustelier and Joseph
Plenty of players have cleared waivers. Trades are still possible. The Yankee farm system is Not the only way to upgrade this team. Personally, I like Harriston\Mets, but I do Not know if he was claimed.
“What’s on the scouting report for Argh and Oof?”
Their names indicate the sounds you make while watching them
Jones did so well against Boston, I had hoped he could carry it through. But they will be seeing a lot of lefties coming up, so maybe the more regular play will help? Who knows? Just have to keep our fingers crossed on this one.
Boy, if the Yankees do make it through the rest of the season still sitting atop their division, don’t we all really have to tip our hats or something? I would think with the injuries to the particular players, they’re really doing a heck of a job.
It’s been a strange season from the get go, for me.
Luis,
OK – possibly Adams and/or Joseph, because of their position, although neither one will ever play a game with the Yankees. Mustelier is 29 (at least) and not doing particularly well at AAA. Mesa will be 26 next year and is still at AA. Almonte just isn’t good enough.
Mesa’s at AAA.
big game today! the big guy’s gotta dominate.
5 games on tampa, keep it there and get ready to knock the O’s back this w/e.
Mesa has great problems making contact. That is a very negative predictor for MLB success. Mustelier, as noted, is not young and supposedly is a poor fielder. He might be able to help.
Adams and Joseph are possibilities but not at 2B for the Yankees. I would think about Adams at 3rd.
Zoilo is a pretty good right handed hitter, but struggles greatly from the right side.
I don’t think their is any immediate help in the minors. Even Nunez is not hitting.
Great job Stewart. You know maybe actually look at a pitch. These guys just swing away at anything in sight.
