Getz had a good day or two, that's about it.

 

Ozzie's done a GREAT job handling Getz at the plate this season by putting on hit-and-run whenever possible.

note to AL pitchers: you can throw strikes to Lillibridge, you know

Lillibridge with Pods 2005 leads...nice to see us disrupting the opposing pitchers a little bit for a change.

 

Brent, you've gotta go there, they have a once a week back-up catcher, have to stay out of DP at all costs.

Blah...another double play. Lillibridge needs to be in motion when he's on the bases.

Quentin not seeing any hittable fastballs lately, hopefully he'll adjust and just take the walks that everyone is pretty much giving him

He's still getting first pitch fastballs on a frequent basis.

Nick Swisher falling back to earth...hitting .325 and 2 k's today against Carl Pavano, but Yankees threatening.

they aren't good, hittable fastballs though, they're most often off the plate inside

keep doin' what you're doin' gavin

He's crushing the ball....no issues at all with his approach.

Can't really tell from gamecast... does Gavin seem to be locating his curveball a lot better today then his last outting?

He's mixing in more curveballs, but he's primarily going with the two seam sinking fastball at 90-91 MPH.

 

He doesn't really seem like he's dominating, but he's certainly pitching effectively against Pena, who is the one batter you don't want to beat you in their line-up...and it would have been nice had Matt Thornton had the time to study the way they're attacking Zobrist, but he's not as dangerous as a LH hitter.

 

Swisher K's (hat trick) with the bases loaded against Pavano in the bottom of the 6th.

Evidently the new Yankee Stadium has some sort of wind tunnel out to RF. There are a lot of people really concerned about it. Swisher may benefit.

Not a big Betemit fan early. I like the BA and Lillibridge approach, at least make the pitcher work.

 

Until Thome starts hitting more consistently I'd like to see Konerko or Dye moved up while they are hot.

Thome still has that eye

 

edit: dang only 4 walks this yr

The patience from this team is unlike anything we've seen in a while.

Floyd's gotten a few Ks on his change today. It seems like he's going mainly fastballs but making them think about the curve, then right when they forget about it, he gets them swinging at a change for strike 3.

Damn, Jermaine Dye looks just like his dad.

Jermaine crushed that ball.

Looks like we're going to be catching the Orioles as they're really cooling off.

 

We have Guthrie, but two other starters we should be able to beat for sure.

 

Yep, Gavin's 85 MPH change-up is starting to become a really devastating part of his arsenal, as he has better control of it than the curveball.

Dye misses a homer by a few feet. We have to get at least one run in here.

JD! have a day in front of the folks

Good job Paulie.

Good job with the sac fly by PK! 4-0
