Pitching For The Angels: Jered "Don't Call Me Jeff" Weaver
LET’S GO YANKEES!!!!
Took a half day and I’m ready to rock. Let’s do this Andy.
What kind of fan base needs artificial noisemakers??? I mean, really??? How pathetic is that?
Like the stupid cowbells in Tampa…make noise with your voice and hands losers.
LEADOFF BOMB FOR CAPTAIN CLUTCH!!!! HE DESTROYED THAT PITCH!!!! 1-0!!!!!
2 quick outs by Johnny and Tex…ARod strolls to the plate with 2 outs…Boo’s rain upon him but he doesn’t care anymore, he gets to touch Kate Hudson…
3 outs. Got one though…come on Andy.
Leadoff single for Figgy…gulp.
Fat Bobby fouls out to Tex. 1 out. Sweet.
BIG DP!!! No damage…nice start. LET’S SCORE SOME MORE RUNS ON THAT ASS!!!
Leadoff single for Godzilla…
Bill Miller getting a little too excited. You don’t normally see guys getting punched out on strike 2.
Hip Hip walks, 1st and 2nd, no outs…
Weaver’s having trouble locating his fastball. We may be seeing the Bugs Bunny curve all day.
Yeah, that was gouche Dougie Fresh.
Cano with men on base.. dum dee dum..
No Cano, please do not swing at those balls and help him out..
Cano with a FC, moves the runner to third, and managed not to GIDP. I say that was mildly successful.
Cano grounds into a fielders choice…lame…1st and 3rd, 1 out for Swishalicious…
Swisher only needing a deep-ish flyball..
One thing SFs and YFs can agree on: The umps this postseason have been an embarrassment. (What did Posada say when he was rung up on Strike 2?)
Not deep enough, especially not with Matsui running. Bah.
Two outs, and here’s Melky trying to cash in..
Swish pops up too short to score Godzilla…christ. Melky up with 2 outs, would really suck to blow this opportunity…
krueg’s non-violent commentary has made me useless, haha..
1st and 2nd, no outs and no runs. That was not good.
when are swisher and cabrera going to get a hit? they have practically been two automatic outs this entire postseason
Yanks do not take advantage, and one of these games it’s going to come back to bite them..
Cano with almost the insane range to come up with that one, but no dice, Vlad with a leadoff single..
I don’t have audio, anything amusing between that Posada exchange with the ump?
I’m like the Hulk Lar, it’s only a matter of time…the way this is going already.
Another DP to take the place of the one that did not happen. End of 2, 1-0 Yanks, but they better score a few more, just in case..
ANOTHER DP!!!! GREAT JOB ANDY!!!! Wow.
Jeter up…let’s go.
MANY more runs…these games have all been too close, we need 10!!!
No. The ump asked him what time they got in.
2 super quick outs…come on.
Weaver at 50 pitches through 3. Quick inning here, might’ve done Weaver a favor..
Pathetic offense…just awful.
Bobby Abreu doesn’t get within 50 feet of that ball.
AP has been money so far, but offense has been horrible. Let’s get this show started already!
They stole a base…causing the fake noise to pick up some volume! Those SoCal folks can sure knock inflatable sticks together! Impressive!!!! Not.
Andy with another good inning, i.e. no runs.
Bah, what the hell does he think he is, hitting a HR that doesn’t tie the game.
Go Yanks!
ABOMB OVER THE BULLPEN IN LF!!!! 2-0!!!!! Wow ARod, wow.
And go ARod, of course, hehe..
alright party people!
A-Rod!!!
live from jakarta!!!
A-Rod completely WASTED that curve.
Matsui draws a walk. Yep, don’t help him out!
Godzilla walks again…Weaver is scared of him.
Wear a condom Nick!!!!
looks like they brought that jet-stream on the road with them… ;)
Posada singles, and we have the same situation again – Matsui on second, Posada at first, no outs. Will Cano/Swish/Melky step it up on this do-over?
Weaver already up at 67 pitches.
alright alright alright. Liking the feel of this inning. Might the Yanks finally explode?!
Hip Hip single…1st and 2nd, no outs for the “bottom 3rd”. Time to do some damage boys, put these fools down now. Do it. You know you want to.
What a beautiful thing, that swing.
Um…am I having f-cking deja vue??? You have got to be kidding me right now…
Cano does the same thing, with a FC, putting men on the corners. Worse is he did it in only two pitches..
Swisher only needing a deep-ish flyball..
went to a dance club in Kuala Lumpur (yeah I mispelled it probably) where the DJ started every sentence with “Party people!”
So, that’s what I’m doing now.
Alright, party people! Swisher needs to come through here.
A-Rod has more HRs (38) and more RBIs (82) in this ballpark than in any ballpark (other than those in Seattle, Texas, and NY that he has called him). He loves it here.
Scoscia said he feels like the Angels have momentum? Huh? Always positive, that’s an admirable trait.
Can someone please tell Pat Sajak to move. I can’t focus on the game with him behind the plate.
They do have momentum. And so did the Titanic.
swisher looks clueless at the plate.
Swish K. Motherf-cker.
party people. wtf?
really come on. Swisher has been in a malaise this postseason.
Swisher strikes out, essentially repeating his pop out from the other inning. Here’s Melky, the last of the group with another opportunity to redeem himself..
We’re up 2-0, but really.. wow. Really should be more.
Weaver at 75 pitches..
The “Rally Killers” strike again. Great job guys.
Yanks wastes another opportunity to tack on a run or two. Bah.
Way to help out Pettitte. As-holes.
Weaver at 79 pitchers after 4 the only good thing so far. Well, and the HRs.
The Yanks offense has been Derek Jeter and A-Rod.
That’s it.
Party people.
Oddly, AP’s average leverage is higher than Weaver’s. Still early..
Abreu with a line drive, but right at JD, one out.
well that was scary. Abreu lines it but Damon is right there. Seemed like a hit off the bat.
don’t have a good feeling about this vlad at bat
Hunter with a one out single.
Let’s go double play.
3-0 pitch to Vlad. Err.
A close 3-0 strike to Vlad. 3-1, let’s go DP for AP!
AP said I don’t need a DP, I just need to pick off Hunter. I expected Hunter to run on that pitch, and obviously AP did too. Good job to get a key out..
yes!
I was just IMing to Nick that it would be great to get the pickoff!
Vlad walks on a 3-2 pitch, wasn’t close. But at least there are two outs.. Rivera now up.
Buck praying for the hr as he jinxes the yanks
End of inning. End of 4, 2-0 yanks. AP on 51 pitches.
AP gets out of it. Great job!
Top of the line-up needs to do some damage. Weaver has been practically asking to get lit up.
“…Scoscia said he feels like the Angels have momentum? …”
and, we’ve got mo-rivera ;)
Seriously, the Yanks really need to blow the game out of the water so we don’t even need to use Mo. Mo has pitched every game thus far.
Not to mention Weaver isn’t even pitching a good game to merit it.
Jeter gave it a ride, but right at Abreu, deep to RF. A quick one pitch out.
wsell jeter doesn’t help build the weaver pitch count although he had another good swing. 1 pitch, 1 out
JD with a solo shot! 3-0 Yanks!
Bandbox.
JOHNNY!!!!!!!
3-0. Awesome.
there’s that damn jet stream again
Nick – I thought the same thing, but he had a good swing on it, and being one of the few people hitting well, who can blame him? Heheh..
woo hoo!
I said it in April and in September and I’ll say it again – I love Andy in October. He knows how to pitch in big games, on the road, whatever. He bears down on the best of them, knows how to avoid big innings, and can pitch without his best stuff. In that inning he piched well around Vlad who already had a hit and is always dangerous, kept cool and went right after Rivera. He is no ace, but I’m thrilled to have him as our # 3 and would even be happy with him as the # 2.
They’re clearly getting good swings on him, as ARod just missed one..
Damn. Just a tad bit under it.
thought that was gone off the bat.
But in either case, the score is “only” 3-0, and I would love it if they can score just a few more.. I’m greedy, but might as well!
Hey look – with Damon’s AB the chances of geting one run in this inning went up to 100%.
cmon Matsui
Matsui strikes out. A few moon shots and close calls, but they only scored one. 3-0 Yanks, Weaver at 95 pitches or so.
Sometimes you wonder what they are looking at when they swing at a pitch like that?
Well, I’ll take the “small” long-ball.
Matsui thought that pitch was breaking in, I guess, as he flails and misses
okay, Weaver has pitched very poorly and we have 3 runs to show for it. I’m thinking we should have at least 5.
AP gets the k on Morales who is just a very poor hitter on the right side.
Ya, I think Matsui just trying to foul it off, but it never came back in..
And Kendrick just jacked one. 3-1 game. If they don’t win this, they have the awful situational hitting to blame.
Fireworks and a log plume ride for Howie Kendrick. How cute.
3-1. lame.
kendrick kills it. fucks
and with the post fireworks haze, Andy looks like he’s pitching through Jakarta air.
Andy strikes out Napoli. Way to bounce back.
Napoli K’s for the second out.
At least it with with no men on, which is good.
Joe Fuck is SO disappointed he swung at that strike 3…
somehow i am so well trained in these things, that i actually do not hear the words mccarver says. it’s like pops and fizzles when he speaks.
Limited the damage…whew. 3-1 going into the 6th? Not bad.
Allright. AROD gobbles up a one hopper at third and throws him out.
Notice that the ball slows down from the time the pitcher releases it until it reaches the plate.
Also, buy my CD.
Andy has pitched well so far even with the Kendrick shot. The Yanks need to go off now. I expect big things from Swisher this inning. Call it a feeling. But it’s more than a feeling.
More than a feeling.
More than a feeling.
I just love the idea that he put that down on a sheet and called it lyrics.
Definitely not bad. 3-1 end of 5. AP at 68 pitches.
Yanks still need to destroy Weaver just a little bit more. Say, a HR or two with people on would be nice. Or just tons of hits.
This is probably Weaver’s last inning, if he’s even going back out there..
Just as I said that, Darren Oliver, the old lefty, is up to pitch.
Posada strikes out on a check swing, but it was middle much down the middle. 1 out.
Cano finaly gets a base hit/error. Of course, there’s nobody on base.
Cano singles…COME ON RALLY KILLERS!!!!
Swisher with another K, and here’s Melky.
wow, swisher is looking historically bad.
it was just a feeling. and nothing more.
And Melky lines out on the first pitch. End of 5.5, it’s 3-1 Yanks.
Good job on that final out Fox.
Rally killed.
Abreu finally with a hit, this time with 1 out on a 3-2 pitch, and AP will face Hunter with Abreu on base.
Hunter pops up on the first pitch. Two outs now with Vlad up.
Love the infield pop out.
Stay away from Vlad. He may be outclassed by 94-mph fatballs now, but he will still kill 88-mph fastballs and hanging off-speed pitches.
Slow stuff outside and Vlad did not bite. 2-2.
Joe Fuck IMPLORING the Angels to come back and win…PLEEEEEEAAAAASE ANGELS, PLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAASE???
And Vlad ties the game. Blah. Why?
Tie game. Not good. 3-3
fuck
And this is why you add on a few runs when you had the chance.
crap
We had many chances to put them away…now it’s going to be a fight down the stretch.
Why the hell would you give him a fastball down the middle? Make him swing at stuff on the dirt!
Still, the Yanks gave AP little margin of error because they had no timely hitting thus far..
And now Rivera pops out harmlessly, but the damage is done, the score tied, 3-3 end of the 6th.
Why give Vlad anything to hit? He’s looked washed up the whole series.
The Yankees will get those runs back, I’m not worried. We will gnaw on the bones of the Angels’ pen.
F-ck this. We’re still going to win.
Screw it – we had to know that beating these guys in their park would be a dogfight. Andy is our #3 and he’s handing off a tie game in the 7th. I’ll take it. I’m pissed that we let Vlad do it because I feel like we shouldn’t mess with him but it’s OK. We just need one run and a strong outing from our better-than-theirs bullpen. Besides, we can’t rob A-Rod of another chance for heroism.
top of the line up. god knows this is when we can score runs since jetes and a-rod are here.
Here’s Jeter batting against Oliver. Can we own this old guy already? C’mon.
Jeter with a K. 1 out.
Damon with a blooper that did not drop, two outs.
Tex, here’s your chance to do something!
Tex with a walk, and ARod is up.
man, i’m optimistic but the yanks should be winning this by a few runs. the offense has been asleep for 5 straight games now.
Jepsen against ARod.
Mad Dog Russo was predicting an effective end of the ALCS and Yankee WS rings after the ARod homer… Jinx?
Damn it.
Hudson – no, I think he means that the Yanks will now lose.
Bah, top of the lineup, nothing going.
Mad Dog still exists?
AP going back out there. I guess the very least to pitch to Morales.
That. was. close. 2 outs.
Yanks got lucky there.. and AP is out.
krueg is so positive he gave the Yanks an extra out.. haha..
Joba is in. Joba Joba Joba.
Kendrick crushes one the other way, and Swisher was unable to pull it down for a triple. This is it, with one out. Can they do what the Yanks cannot?
…and the wheels fall off.
Izturis got the call, and Joba gives up a deep sac fly, essentially doing what Swisher was unable to do. 4-3 Angels.
Mike Scioscia’s superlative managing picks up the run there, but I can’t believe he pinch-hit for Mike Napoli again.
fudge
Lame. Losing is not cool.
joba would do better if this were the 8th
Aybar with a double. Bah.
Joba looks awesome. Not. About to give up another…
Key out here..
Don’t be sad krueg. Remember, Brian Fuentes is the Angels closer.
damaso marte is being called in.
white flag?
Marte coming in.
at least mcbuck has something to cheer about finally…
Well done Marte…alright bats, you’ve been sitting up there holding your dicks for long enough today. SCORE SOME F-CKING RUNS YOU LOSERS!!!! F-CK!
:)
marte owns him with 1 pitch!
boo ya!
rally time party people!!!
Figgins lines out. Okay, time to pick up the slack.. didn’t get it done when they had the chance.. and now..
Now all Yanks have to do is rally against Jepsen, who is nasty. It should not have came to this. Bah.
Matsui works out a walk to lead off the inning. Nice. Is he PR?
HUGE WALK BY GODZILLA!!!! Pinch run some speed and let the games begin!!!!
matsui with the lead off walk. i’m guessing a pinch runner now.
Gardner time…
Gardner will come in. Jepsen stays in, with Posada up.
I would like a steal to prevent the DP please.
Gardner should steal like before the first pitch is thrown
Seriously if he doesn’t steal and Posada DP’s, I will blame Joe G.
A pitchout situation coming though.
That sucked so badly.
It’s a trap! Shit.
Lar called it.
fuck
And Gardner is thrown out. Not a great throw, but it was on a pitch out, as I say. Ouch.
Nick – wish I was wrong. Bah.
Posada HRs on the next pitch. Now that CS is huge, but at least it’s recoverable.
HIP HIP JORGEEEEEEEEEEEEE
FUCK YEAH!!!!!
AMERICA FUCK YEAH!!
Here’s the blackhole that is Cano, Swisher, and Melky. It’s time to step it up.
HIP HIP…TIE GAME!!!! We will not go quietly into that goodnight!!!!
Cano with a base hit up the middle. Probably because no one was on base.
Cano singles…RALLY TIME SUCKA’S!!!!!
Cano with the single.
Will Swisher redeem himself?
a walk is as good as a hit. Swish sort of redeems his sorry ass.
Kevin Jepsen is melting down.
what the hell is Melky swinging at?
God, Melky is fucking horrible
Melky swung at some awful pitches..
wow. Melky just put on a display there.
Captain Clutch let’s go. You don’t even need a HR..
Jepsen is getting some close pitches called and here’s a Jeter 1-2 pitch..
Posada ties the game, but once again, the Yanks score, but with no one on base. Ouch.
Still, tied game, let’s hold them this inning. Obviously crucial. Probably Fuentes vs JD, Tex, ARod next inning..
well, I guess things could be worse. The Yanks can’t buy a hit with runners on.
The bats did their job this inning. There will be more chances to feast on the Angels’ bullpen.
Ya, Jepsen found the right time to find the plate, though helped out by Melky. The guy just walked and pitched wildly, why the hell would you help him out? Got a little pie-envy there or something.
The Melky at bat might have turned me on him forever. Just a very stupid approach to a guy who wasn’t throwing strikes.
Coke is in to face Abreu.
Abreu got greedy and a heads up play again, 1 out.
wow! abreu messes that one up.
Shades of Carlos Gomez!
I like Bobby so I feel really bad for him, but thank god for that awful decision!
Great throw by Melky, and Jeter on another heads up play. Love Tex going to 2B.
Though he would’ve thrown out even if he did not stop and went to third. He was caught in nowhere.
Fat Bobby screws the pooch in a huge way…ha. ha. ha.
That was crazy.
Nick – ya, I’m a huge Abreu fan (as I keep saying over the years) but ya, I’m glad he made that out!
By the way, anyone else think it’s time to stop putting Coke in high leverage situations? What’s his function ewxactly?
I’m stuck at work because the game is on, and I don’t want to miss another moment of this. I will stay as long as needed, as long as the Yanks win.
Coke does his job, kind of, and Hughes is now in.
Melky with a pretty strong throw, and yet again Jeter as the second cut off man. I know, bah bah bah intangibles.
And of course, Tex for backing up second, which he should, but ya.
Still not out of the woods yet. Tie game, Hunter is up.
And then down on a 3 pitch strike out.
Hughes just humiliated Hunter in that ab. wow!
Wow. DJ Philthy Phil takes Hunter to school on 3 pitches.
Here’s Vlad.
Coke’s function: HR-prone LOOGY?
1-2 pitch to Vlad. Please learn from AP.
1-2 pitch was a FB that was just a little outside. Not bad if he could locate it. Gave me a heart attack.
Well, maybe he still will..
And Hughes does what AP should’ve done, curveball almost on the dirt. Of course, Vlad hits that one anyhow, and a close grounder to ARod three outs.
Sudden death baseball, here we come!
That was a rowdy inning. Can we score another run, at least, please?
Tex saves a bad throw from A-Rod.
And now the heart of the line up against Fuentes
Fuentes against JD, Tex, ARod.
JD got a low-ish strike call. Bah.
And then hits a weak grounder to 2B..
Fuentes getting the calls right now.. very borderline by my count.
Let’s go Tex, 0-1 pitch.
Tex swung at one in the dirt. He’s really in some funk, or maybe trying too hard to hit one out. Awful swing there.
Come on Tex…we need some hits brother!!!
And Tex strikes out. ARod now up. That was a quick two outs.
He looks awful at the plate. Just plain awful. No way ARod does it again…
Tex looks lost at the plate
Is Mo going to pitch?
I say let Hughes go back out there.
Wow, they are IBB’ing ARod. Makes sense, with two outs, and Gardner up to the plate.
Are they pinch hitting for Gardner?
let’s go hairston.
I want to see ARod at least try to steal a base in this situation, so a basehit will do it.
Come on Jerry…you can do it.
Jerry pinch hitting for Gardner. Let’s go JERRRRRRRY!
Fuentes drops a curve in for a strike.
And Jerry is quickly down 0-2.
And Jerry down on three strikes. Bah.
Jerry looked like a bench player there…I don’t like this.
Really would’ve loved to see ARod steal, though I guess moot in retrospect.
oh god, no rivera? i don’t have a good feeling about this for some reason.
Hughes stays in the game. It’s his to lose, maybe.
Hughes Rivera to ground out. And now the dangerous Morales from the left side. Ugh.
You need to get 3 more outs in either case, save situation on the road, so ya.
Hopefully it will not come to that. Morales is up.
I mean, hopefully it will come to being a save situation.
If only they bought in Hughes for the 7th..
Wow, Tex went up to get that one. Had double written all over it, two outs.
Okay, wasn’t that high, still at least a base hit..
Kendrick pops out, and extra inning we go. Posada, Cano, Swisher. Basically Posada and the black hole bunch.
hughes comes up big
What an amazing inning by Phil…incredible.
Score runs. Now.
Hughes actually only 16 pitches. What do you do?
Well, if they have the lead, it’s simple. Let’s make it a simple decision for Joe G.
Stellar outing by Hughes today. He was working the curve like a Dutch Master… killer.
And Bulger starts off with a wild pitch. Alright, let’s get him guys.
The catcher did not catch 2 of the first 3 pitches. 3-0 pitch to Posada.
If Posada walks, I suspect a PR with Molina in for the long haul..
And now he works the counter back to 3-2.. big pitch here.
And Bulger got Posada on a filthy curveball. Came all the way back from 3-0.
Blackhole bunch coming up.. prove me wrong!
Swisher, who has done nothing this post season that I can remember is up.
just another poor performance by the offense
Bulger is kind of wild, but got the first two men.
1-2-3. Bah.
Oof. Bulger’s curveball is nasty today.
wow. just a brutal performance by swisher this postseason
The Yanks have really done nothing against this bullpen of the Angels, for the most part.. it’s time to change that. If they get to go again.
Hughes is back out. Mathis up.
Mathis with a lead off double. Not looking good.
fuck. Mathis, who can’t hit, gets a double. Time to bring in Mo. No?
Aybar, Figgins, bah.
That should do it…sucks to be on the other end of these walk-pff deals.
2-1
CC tomorrow.
Mo is coming in. If they’re going to lose, they’re not going to let Hughes lose it. Well, he’ll get a loss if they lose, but ya.
At least CC should save the pen tomorrow, hopefully.
The Angels now have an 81.5% of winning.
Aybar, Figgins, Abreu. Mo. Let’s do this.
well, i don’t have a good feeling.
A good throw would’ve got him. No outs, losing run on third.
Texeira extends the game. Wow.
The bases will be loaded for Torii Hunter with one out.
well, might as well have faith in Mo
2-0 to hunter. ugh
2-2
vlad v. mo for the game
I wouldn’t trust any reliever but Mo here.
the legend grows
I CANNOT BELIEVE HE GOT OUT OF THAT FUCKING INNING!!!! I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK!!!!
WE HAVE GOT TO SCORE RUNS!!!! NOW!!!! GET ON BASE MELKY!!!
Tex is so good, and Mo is so good. Hugs and kisses.
seriously, Mariano Rivera is a god.
Mo is our hope and our salvation.
If Tex hits half as well as he plays solid defense, we’ll be up 15-0 in the series.
Mariano cured a leper on the way to the dugout by the way.
this stress is not good for me…
Mariano
wow
john lackey getting loose
I think I’d prefer the 8 and 9 hitters from the ’92 yankees over melky and swisher
2 outs in less than 3 seconds…lame.
Unfortunately, Mo will not pitch the bottom of the inning. I guess that’s Ace’s spot, but let’s win this..
Francisco time
Cervelli down swinging, and that was a quick half inning.
My bads, it’s Robertson coming in.
We’re due to lose one of these eventually…
Looks like it’ll be Someone Else-time.
It looked like Cervelli’s strategy was to swing and miss at a pitch that would get away from the catcher. Sort of what my strategy would be.
Joe G joked about having CC pinch hit. This might come up.
If we get to the next inning, we get Tex, ARod, Jerry.
Let’s go Yanks!
Rivera is the Angel response to Swisher
Too many innings in these games, and I left my Big Book of Baseball Cliches at home.
Maybe if I don’t say anything, the game will still go on…
Robertson almost walked Morales, but now has a 3-2 pitch to throw..
2 outs. Here’s Kendrick, who is scary to me.
2 outs. Morales got a pitch to drive but was late.
Joe G apparently agrees with me, and gives it to Ace.
Why take Robertson (arguably our 3rd best reliever) out of the game now?
interesting move by General Joe. You’d think you want to extend these pitchers as much as possible.
Aceves 2 quick balls
Definitely questionable either way.
3-1 pitch, and Kendrick singles. Same as a walk, I guess. Robertson could’ve done that.
Here’s Mathis..
kendrick with the hit up the middle.
Aybar on deck.
Aceves doesn’t look sharp at all.
Well, poop.
great. should’ve left robertson
And with two outs Joe G overmanaged a loss.
But not all the blame is his, the Yanks did not hit.
well, that sucked. Turns out Girardi made the wrong decision. Oh well.
Jeff Mathis is a hitting machine suddenly.
I cannot understand why he took out Robertson?
Well, so much for a quick series. Now we could be fucked.
We need another huge game from CC tomorrow…maybe some timely hitting too.
Fuck, that sucked but win tomorrow and it’s all good.
Was just about to ask if you guys were OK that Girardi gave up the DH and … ooops, doesn’t matter.
Poor managing in this one, hitting wasn’t so bad. Taking out Gardner (who can hit) in favor of Hairston (who would have been more valuable as pinch hitter later – instead of Cervelli). Bringing in Joba in the clutch when he hasn’t been used this way all season. And taking out Robertson, what the hell was that about?
On the other hand, now that there won’t be a sweep there’ll be less dead time before the World Series.
And yes, we are still beating the Angels to get to the Series.
That was poorly managed by Girardi, the more that I think about it.
And don’t dissect it too much. You guys are 5-1 in the postseason.
Probably, but that was rough, considering the Yanks had way too many opportunities to score, and only did it via the long ball. Couple this with a Weaver who was begging to get smashed.. sigh.
