Notes: Perez has had success against the Yankees recently, so I'm all in favor of switching things up a little, but this is a bit much. Yes, Bobby Abreu should sit today, he's 0-for-10 against Perez. But Wilson Betemit batting 5th and playing 2nd, are you kidding me? Does Girardi know Cano is 4-for-10 against Perez. Cano has also been hitting the ball well lately, and was 2-for-3 against Santana - also a lefty - yesterday.

Stick around and discuss the game
as it happens in the comments section.
Betemit 5th? he should have kept Cano and Giambi in the lineup. Cano is 4/10 of of perez and Giambi hits lefties very well, not to mention Perez has a hard time throwing strikes so Giambi would walk 2 or 3 times. I do agree with Abreu being out because he is terrible vs, Perez. I wish we were vs John Maine so we'd have everyone in the lineup.
ReplyDelete1st game of the second half of the season. Were on pace for 88 wins.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about Giambi and Cano. Hopefully Betemit goes 4-4 and shuts me up.
ReplyDeleteGood job by Rasner to get out of that without allowing a run.
Are they really going to let this bum look like a good pitcher again?
ReplyDeleteLooks that way.
ReplyDeleteRasner is terrible. The Yanks have no chance today.
ReplyDeleteWell this looks like another loss
ReplyDeleteCrappy game. And of course the only run comes off the bat of Wilson Betemit. Oh well I guess Joe was correct in putting him in the lineup, but I still would have liked to see Giambi and Cano out there today.
ReplyDeleteAt least they split the series.
