QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 5, 2013 -> 01:57 AM) Semien looks like Lance Johnson. He looks like he could be Randy Winn's twin

Not even close

This has been a very fun inning

Very good game for Avi tonight!

Liked what I saw from Webb in that first AB

Well, at least we'll see Webb tonight.

Well, it appears Johnson is a horrible fielding pitcher. His stuff on the mound is solid, but he seems to have a hard time repeating his delivery.

I like Johnson's cutter at 88 mph. He's clearly nervous out there though.

I wonder when's the last time in MLB history that two players debuted on the same night from the same college?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 4, 2013 -> 03:17 AM) He should be fired. Absolutely, but the scary thing is that the players seem to be the ones who will be moved (ie: De Aza).

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 4, 2013 -> 02:14 AM) Goddamn Leury is fast. When's the last time they had someone so fast?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 4, 2013 -> 02:11 AM) Its all about the draft pick. I was being sarcastic, but the way CC has been pitching, Johnson proabably has to be really bad tomorrow for the drafters to be happy. I'll gladly root for Johnson to get the win tomorrow, but if he leaves without a chance of getting the win, I'll be quite content to see another bullpen debacle.

Impressive inning for the Yanks!

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 4, 2013 -> 02:50 AM) Jones is brutal He's not terrible, just bad pitch selection there. Not one fastball above the belt.

Bring on Axelrod!

Poor Sale's ERA

IIRC, Sale is supposed to be on a 110 pitch limit

Even though it was an easy fly out, I like seeing Avi being able to hit inside fastballs to center field.

Yankees have no prayer against Sale tonight.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Sep 4, 2013 -> 02:11 AM) I feel like if De Aza was a Yankee he could put up 25+ homer seasons with that short porch. Viciedo would easily hit that many at this park, and it's probably the best park for Avi to hit at.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 4, 2013 -> 01:02 AM) A decent throw he is out by 10 feet. The play is designed to get the runner at home. I don't understand how that is bad managing. It was a poorly designed play then, as Beckham needs to be closer to home plate when he catches that. Instead, he was only a few feet in front of 2nd base.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 4, 2013 -> 12:59 AM) You missed the play. It was set up to nail the runner at home. Beckham made a bad throw. They didn't throw through to secondbase. I saw the play, and it still gave Wells way too good of a chance to score. With Sale on the mound, you don't risk it IMO.

Yikes Avi

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 4, 2013 -> 01:33 AM) That doesn't necessarily happen every day. It was just another example of poor managing. With Sale pitching and Stewart hitting, it's ridiculous to even consider letting that runner head for home.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 4, 2013 -> 01:28 AM) 1-1, sox gave up unearned run, blew like 5 baserunners in the first 2 innings, and I think Mark Prior got hurt. You failed to mention that the Yankees run scored on a double steal.
