Agreed, they just showed his hand and there was no mark or redness. Basically impossible if you get hit by a 94 MPH pitch.

Redness or an external discoloration isn't necessarily going to happen at all. Depends on the injury, and how soon after you see it.

 

And looking at the last replay, it looks like it hit both his hand and the bat. That being the case, if he is getting out of the way of a pitch, then it can be an HBP.

 

I think Torre is hopeless at this point. George is out to get him, the umps f*** him, and the Indians are getting lucky hits while ARod can't hit Paul f***ing Byrd. So, bring Mussina in and let him get rocked.

Even though he gave up a homer - he looked like he was throwing a bit too hard - Wang looks so good already. It could be a really long night for the Indians offense.

Or nottttt

Umm, I believe the Yankees said that they were going to take the kid's gloves off with Joba in the postseason, and I'm sure he'll be alright.

 

My point was that he won't be used to pitching that much. They wouldn't let the guy pitch back to back days during the regular season, you don't kow how he'll react pitching 3-4 innings in a 2 day span. I don't doubt they'll bring him in though.

 

C'mon tribe, break this thing wide open.

Mussina is much better than Wang.

Huge pitch by Mussina there. If they can get out of this only giving up 1 they won't be in bad shape at all with Byrd on the mound.

Or nottttt

 

Really surprises me.

They didn't let him pitch like that until he was called up -- once he was, they put him on the limit but before? No. He didn't forget how to pitch more than one inning and in short notice because he was babied in the season.

Really surprises me.

 

Some of these base hits are just ridiculous.

How about some more f***ing flips into the outfield w/ RISP & 2 outs.

LOL, I have the Indians winning, but this is ridiculous. I almost feel bad for the Yankees.

 

Key word there is almost, because I'd never feel bad for the Yankees.

Who are these announcers?

Chip Caray

Tony Gwynn

Bob Brenly

 

or are you asking because Chip Caray's an absolute tool?

LOL, and now the ump misses Matsui hitting Shopach's mitt.

I'm actually in New York right now. I was out at a pub earlier having dinner, watching the crowd develop to watch the game. I thought about asking the bartender to but Monday Night Football on, just to see how the Yankees fans reacted. Unfortunately, I was seriously outnumbered.

I absolutely HATE Tony Gwynn's voice.

Heh. Yankees just got their favor back from the Umps.

Yanks get a HUGE break. Happy?

I absolutely HATE Tony Gwynn's voice.

GTFO

I met a British tourist who was going to be in NY/Boston around playoff time but he didn't tell me when, exactly. I told him if he was there while they played home games, he should go, especially to Yankee Stadium.

 

I will go to Yankee Stadium next year and buy a scalped playoff ticket if they make the playoffs next year.

GTFO

 

He's so nasally and obnoxious. I'd rather listen to Roseanne Barr do commentary.

56,000 in attendance? Wow.

Why have the announcers all been acting like the use of video in preperation of a game is so unique and new?

When you go to Yankee Stadium make sure you ask for section 39. They have some interesting traditions in that part of the park. There is one they do with the YMCA song. Make sure you wear your sox/Atlanta hat.
