- Bronx Bandbox: Add Yankees manager Joe Girardi and Indians manager Eric Wedge to the growing list of people who think this new stadium plays small:
"It seems to be playing somewhat short. You don't see this many home runs usually," he said after yesterday's 22-4 loss to the Indians. "It's too early to tell, but the early indications are the balls are carrying to right field."
"It definitely does fly [to right] here as compared to the old Stadium," said Cleveland manager Eric Wedge.
- Here's a story about Nick Swisher from Kevin Devaney, who is subbing for Pete Abe:
Stick around and discuss the gameJust before we left, good ‘ol Nick Swisher walked through the clubhouse and tore off the covers of all the Daily News sitting on a table. They read “22-4!” on the front and “You Stink” over a picture of Chien-Ming Wang on the back. “New day,” Swisher shouted. “It’s a new day, brotha.”
as it happens in the comments section.
old old yankee satdium had an even shorter right field corner and an even shorter wall in both corners. i for one like this new rightfield effect - this strongly favors the left hand pitchers which is how old old stadium player - over the next years the yankees will want to heavily invest in top lefties - this will give them a decided homefield advantage. and its preety sweet watching baseballs banging all over the place out there
ReplyDeleteInteresting lineup.
ReplyDeletegotta love Swisher
ReplyDeleteWhere is all the noise? Two strikes on a hitter and the damn place sounds like a funeral home!
ReplyDelete- Brian
It really is quiet.
ReplyDeleteNow they're clapping.
ReplyDeleteWait, is Kay apologizing for Pavano being a gigantic waste of money?
ReplyDeleteSo it was all Mussina's fault that Pavano was useless? I'm glad I got that straight! Thanks, Michael.
ReplyDelete- Brian
LOL that's about right.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to share this with you. My dad just goes "Pavano looks like Christy Mathewson."
ReplyDeleteare the legends seats empty again?
ReplyDeleteYea, pretty much the same as the last two games.
ReplyDeletewow - what a buzz kill. why dont those retard CEOs at least unload the tickets at some reasonable price on stubhub if they're not going to bother going.
ReplyDeleteWow, the stadium is so quiet you can hear that umpire saying "off his foot, off his foot."
ReplyDeleteESPN has joined the bandbox band wagon - no new insights however
ReplyDeletehttp://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4080195
Burnett may have gave up the homer to Choo, but otherwise he's looked pretty sharp.
ReplyDeleteWow what a play. Yanks flashing some leather today.
ReplyDeleteNice pick there by Tex.
ReplyDeleteYea, he's fine. A few too many fly balls, but overall pretty good.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Like Kay just said, it brings back memories of Donnie and Constant-Tino.
ReplyDeleteI have the feeling that Giambi would have taken that one off his melon or just waved at it.
ReplyDeletehahahaha you're probably right Anon.
ReplyDeleteAnd Yankeeboy, Mattingly was the best I've ever seen.
stadium looks empty in general - saw the choo homer highlight and lots of empty seats in the outfield and seems like in the tier as well. im surprised one cant get better deals on stubhub.
ReplyDeletelooks like it pretty much would suck to even get some legends tickets - you wouldn't be sitting with anyone. half the fun is sitting among a bunch of other roudy yankee fans. when I've had tickets on the field level half the fun was the people you would meet in the seats around you. now, you get to sit by yourself. the waitress is just there to keep you from feeling completely alone.
And Pavano is perfect through three... shoot me now.
ReplyDeleteIf he keeps pitching a gem, I'd say there would be a riot, but it looks like there's not enough (actual) fans to cause much of a commotion.
ReplyDelete- Brian
This crowd is awful. They're not even applauding strikes.
ReplyDeleteNow why couldn't Pavano do this when he was with the Yankees?
ReplyDeleteLosing 3 out of the first 4 games at the new Stadium? Embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the excuse today? Is it the stadium, the weather, the sky, the rain, the sun, the mooon or ......? This great lineup can't hit Pavano? Hey guys maybe this "great" lineup STINKS? Ever think of that.
ReplyDeleteWe can add another aspect of building a baseball team that Cashman isn't good at. DEFENSE. Nice play by Damon/Ransom ealier in the game. The Yankees have terrible OFers, terrible up the middle defense and they can't hit. What a winner Cashman. Congratulations on the being the biggest failure ever. You deserve it. And, nice stadium too. Well done. Bravo.
Nobody has been making any excuses.
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteBrett Gardner swings like a girl and puts the ball in the air too much.
ReplyDeleteWho's his replacement? Cashman, are you there? Lets see...."um....er....umm....er....".Exactly they have no one. That is a big fat ZERO. Cashman is a complete failure. Worst starting or potential OF in the bigs. Melky is horrible, Damon is horrible and no one in the minors.
ReplyDeleteZzzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZz. That is our lineup. And, anohter great one by Girardi I might add. Pavano gets through the 5th on 8 pitches. Girardi should be fired. Hitting coach should be fired. Pitching coach should be fired. Cashman should be fired.
ReplyDeleteIt's just the begining of the season. They always play like this early in the season. But not like this though.
ReplyDeletesure liam.
ReplyDeleteI just watched an interesting take on Wang's issues. the MLB Tonight crew thinks that the foot is still aggravating him because the knee is lower in the windup and he is slouching.
ReplyDeleteIf Wang says he's fine, then he's fine. And thats what he has been saying.
ReplyDeleteDamn it Jeter!
ReplyDeleteLets go Teix.
ReplyDeleteAwesome decision there, Joe. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan Swisher do it? I doubt it. Jeter is killing this team.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Swisher. Another Cashman player. Spare me the look at what he's done garbage. This team can NOT hit with RISP. Of course, it was killed by none other than Jeter.
ReplyDeleteive never been more embarassed to root for this team, even when we blew three game lead to rox.
ReplyDeleteTo come out and let Pavano off the hook like this today is inexcusable.
For the fans 2 , the guy should be getting shit thrown at him , meanwhile he is barely getting booed.
Ransom has been a lot better with the glove during this series.
ReplyDeleteWanna bet the Indians get a hit with RISP?
ReplyDeleteYou would have lost that bet.
ReplyDeleteSure would have. But you can't bet after its over.
ReplyDeleteWell, lets hope Jeter doesn't come up with men on base this inning.
I know, that's why I said you would have lost.
ReplyDeleteWait a minute! Did we just get a hit with RISP!? I am watching the same game or am I dreaming.....
ReplyDelete3-2 now, nice.
ReplyDeleteUgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh!
ReplyDeletewtf was that? bunting with a guy who cant run on first. the logic???
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't Girardi PR run for Matsui?
ReplyDeleteCome on Jorge!
ReplyDeleteWell should I answer that for you or do you know?
ReplyDeleteHOMERUN!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWOO HOO!!! JORGE JUICED ONE!!
ReplyDeleteJEFFREY MAIER?
ReplyDeleteJust what we needed.
ReplyDelete"Why didn't Girardi PR run for Matsui?"
ReplyDeleteBecause Girardi thinks he's coaching cricket.
ROFLMAO!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I believe it is a HR.
Now, did we actually get TWO hits with RISP in the SAME inning!?!? Wake me I am dreaming.
If so, I apologize to everyone. This team MIGHT be able to hit with RISP.
Although watch these muther scratchers over turn it and screw us. That would be fitting.
why doesnt the umpire order the damn indians back into their f'n dugout.
ReplyDeleteWOW, its a HR. I am immediately going to the convenience store and buying lottery tickets...
ReplyDeleteThat was clearly a home run. There was no need for that 8 minutes worth of nonsense. Anyway, I'm glad they got it right.
ReplyDeleteOh definitely a HR, not even close.
ReplyDeleteI think I need to make an appt to see the eye doctor....are we actually winning?
Nice walk with two outs to load the bases. Is the Yankees bullpen pitching both halves now?
ReplyDeleteDouble your money Greg? I bet you that Ransom hits a grand salami.
ReplyDeleteI'm not gonna bet against the Yankees.
ReplyDeleteNice! Choo lost it in sun.
ReplyDeleteamazing. these indians really suck. stopped chasing the ball. that's an error. most they should give ransom is a single.
ReplyDeleteI'll take it.
ReplyDeleteway for Ransom to run it out. NOT. this guy want to stay in the majors?
ReplyDeleteBurnett is the man. 3 hits, another solid outing, much better than CC.
ReplyDeleteWow, how many hits did we have today with RISP? Did we have to use them all up in one game?
ReplyDeleteGood win.
ReplyDeleteRandom stuff:
ReplyDelete1) Screw Pavano.
2) Nice win
3) Albaladejo, despite scaring me throwing all those balls, gets major props there - that was huge. Bruney once again does the job.
4) The Stadium might sound quiter because of the following two things:
a) Different/new microphone setup by YES (this is very likely the reason you might hear what an ump says clearly)
b) The fans (like me) are a bit shell shocked lately with the way things have gone. If the team starts getting in a groove, I think the fans will be more into it. It's tough to get excited with two strikes on the opposing hitter with some of the crazy crap that's gone on.
5) Empty "luxury" seats: Yes, it looks funny. But I'm still not blaming the Yankees. Mega-banks have folded, car companies are in dire straits, etc. Even at half the price, those seats might not be sold out. There are very few people that are willing to spend over $100/ticket for a baseball game, and honestly, despite the fact the stadium just opened, I think that this time of year, against teams like Cleveland, isn't the best draw. When the season heats up, and bigger teams come into town, more of the luxury offerings will be sold.
Honestly lots of people will spend $100 a seat for tickets, the yankees are idiots for making these luxury areas so exclusive.
ReplyDeleteHere is awesome photo serious on how shitting it now is to sit in the luxury section. the luxury sections suck so much luxury ticket buyers won't even want to sit there because they will be sitting alone!!! HAHAHA! Moron CEOs and the Yankees just learned, low and behold, a baseball game is fun because of the team AND the people around you, not just because you're sitting close enough to kiss arod's lips.

oh man that was a typo disaster... here is a fix for that bastardized sentence...
ReplyDeleteHere is an awesome photo series about how shitty it now is to sit in the luxury section.
After looking at all of the MLB, I dont think it really is just our bandbox of a stadium this year that is giving all the home runs! I think that MLB might be juicing the baseball. Just look at other players, they are going nuts with homers. Coco Crisp who has like 10 career homers has 2 already this year. We are only like 10 games in and a lot of people have 6! Dont you guys think that that MLB might be jucing the ball?
ReplyDeleteYES showed where under the freeze the wall in back is open I think if they close that with a closed wall the jet stream will stop.
ReplyDeleteWell, the series finishes with a split, not great but not terrible either.
ReplyDeleteOf course, what people will remember next week will be the 2 blowouts. But in september, all we'll remember is 2 wins (and maybe Ransom awaking).
So, 2 blowouts are still only 2 losses. I think once A-Rod comes back, the team can be on a roll.
At least I hope!
