News & Notes
- According to Peter Abraham, the Yanks sent Chien-Ming Wang for a second opinion on his shoulder today and there was no improvement. Wang "said he is 'worried.' And the "Yankees are expected to issue an update before the evening is out."
- In 16 career starts against the A's CC Sabathia is 3-7, with a 6.26 ERA. He had a very rough start against them earlier this season in the Bronx. That day he allowed 7 runs (6 earned) on 6 hits, walked 4, and struck out 2.
- Vin Mazzaro is making his first career start against the Yankees, and only the tenth start of his career. So far the 22-year-old Jersey native is 2-6, with a 4.09 ERA. He grew up a Yankees fan.
- The Yankees have swept three out of the last four series.
- In their last 24 games they're 19-5, and they're now two games ahead of the Red Sox for first place. They're 13-5 in July and they've also won six in a row overall. And since A-Rod returned they're 44-22.
- In their last 35 home games the Yankees are 26-9.
- Alex Rodriguez has started to heat up again, he's 6 for his last 18 with 2 homers, 5 RBI, and 2 stolen bases.
- Since May 13th Brett Gardner is hitting .315 with 3 HR, 15 RBI, and 25 runs scored.
- The forecast for tonight's game looks terrible, so tonight could be a rain out.
Stick around and discuss the game
as it happens in the comments section.
Doesn't look like there'll be a game today.
ReplyDeleteI'd be shocked if they got this one in. They should just call it now.
ReplyDeleteThey need to get this one in, we can't afford a double header
ReplyDeleteWhy can't we afford a double-header?
ReplyDeleteI'm with JC on this. Why would a doubleheader on Saturday be so terrible?
ReplyDeleteI've heard people say that this would mean they'd need a starter or something. In fact Pete Abe mentioned it would mean Igawa would have to pitch. And that's not true at all.
If tonight is canceled CC would start tomorrow and Joba pushed back to Saturday's opener. Pettitte can pitch in game two on Saturday night.
What's the big deal?
@ Greg
ReplyDeleteYanks dont have off days. Who is going to pitch Monday against Tampa Bay. CC going on 3 days.
Ahhh yes, good point. I stand corrected. But still, who cares? They can survive one game of Ivan Nova or Kei Igawa.
ReplyDeleteIf they do have a DH then I would skip Sabathia. Have Igawa face Oakland. And use Sabathia on Monday against Tampa.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be against that.
ReplyDeleteSwisher can always pitch.
ReplyDeleteThis is more than a bit ridiculous. They are never going to get this game in, let the guys go home and rest up.
ReplyDeleteMLB needs to impose a set time limit for a rain delay to begin a game. How long is too long?
according to the YESNetwork twitter approx. start time is 9:40.
ReplyDeleteAnd two and a half hours later we have baseball... woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteit looks alittle windy,My wife thinks CC looks like he has MC HAMMER pants on, they are so baggy
ReplyDeletelate night... a blowout would make it easy...
ReplyDeleteTrue. I hope CC throws a gem.
ReplyDeleteThe blowout isn't off to a good start...
ReplyDeleteTrue. It's possible that Mazzaro pitches the game of his life. We've seen hometown kids come back and do it before.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't CC pitch against the A's?
ReplyDeleteWhy do the Yanks always seem sluggish after rain delays? And CC never seems to pitch well after rain delays, either.
ReplyDelete2 things about that play annoy me, #1, cano never hustle's out of the box regardless where the ball is going, #2. new stadium sucks...
ReplyDeleteThe Yankee Stadium walls are way too hard. A ball hits off them and bounces back about 15 feet. They need more padding out there.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to wish more and more that this game had been rained out.
ReplyDeletewith advance scouting, why do "WE" have so much trouble with rookie or young starters??????
ReplyDeleteB-E-A-U-T-I-F=U=L
ReplyDeletecome on Alex, how bout babk to back
ReplyDeletethere we go, the youngster is getting rattled, come on, lets bail out CC again,
ReplyDeleteI guess being the second best against rookie pitchers is no good.
ReplyDeleteNice rally... Now if only CC could figure out how to pitch tonight.
ReplyDeleteIf I was Wang I would hire my own medical and rehab team and complete cut the yankees retard coaches out the decision and rehab process. This is a collasal failure of the coaching team to bring one of their best pitchers to the brink of missing basically an entire season. If you are an average joe and managed something this terribly you would likely be severely repremanded if not fired. Its pathetic and inexcusable given how much money the yankees have and I would like.to see someone fired for it. But they won't be because management at the yankees is like management at the federal reserve, they are the worst decision makers in their class and then act like nobody couldhave done better. Bah! I feel bad for Wang, cashman and co really hosed him and it was obvious they were doing so.
ReplyDeleteWill
lmao Cano... terrible...
ReplyDeleteCano needs a swift kick in the ass.
ReplyDeletelmao that Mets/Castillo game is on Classics...
ReplyDeleteThe "Put it in the books" youtube video from the Castillo cracks me up every time. I just watched it again today. LOL

"it looks alittle windy,My wife thinks CC looks like he has MC HAMMER pants on, they are so baggy"
Yeah, when it's windy CC looks like his pants were borrowed from an America's Cup race.
Robertson/Melancon/Bruney aren't even really needed right now...
ReplyDeleteOne of them might be tonight.
ReplyDeleteThat cutter was philthy.
ReplyDeleteAnother nice win for our Yanks, 2.5 up!
ReplyDeleteNice win. I'll be tired at work tomorrow but it was nice to see a win!
ReplyDeleteCC started out bad but got it together to pitch 7 innings.
Hughes gets his first save!
Lol - americas cup race I great one!
ReplyDeleteIs it too early for mvp talk cause tex is without a doubt a the head of the pack
