...they should.

Damn you Melky.

Its you. Alexei is probably in the trainer's room.

whoops. Meant Nix obviously. It's like SS is throwing him off. At 2B he makes that look easy.

why the f*** did they wait so long?

Ah well. Mark has these from time to time. 90%+ of the time he is awesome, but when he's bad, he's real bad.

aq little too late to change pitchers, IMO

 

the sox catch a break that it's not 8-4 on that at bat. lets do this, pena!

Mark gets some retroactive applause

 

 

In a month:

 

Do we have two 1s and 3 2s, 1 1 and 4 2s?

 

Or 5 2s?

Buehrle had nothing today, but its good that we aren't that far out of it. I expect to get Mark a ND at the least.

Yea but in the grind of 162 games, hitters dont get a chance to review each specific guy thoroughly. The atypical amount of attention Mark got in the nat'l press probably highlighted some of the things he does, as a bit of a refresher.

 

And if anything it aids all those younger Yanks that have NOT been in the league since 01.

Most of the Yankee hitters have faced Buerhle many times. They know what he's trying to do. He just didn't have it today. If he's off just slightly he usually gets lit up. He also has 3 or 4 of these types of games every year which inflates his ERA just enough to keep him from being considered elite nationally.

They do actually. Before every game they watch film and such just like in football to know what to expect. I remember BA getting in trouble for not doing that in '06.

To me, all of those are perfectly acceptable.

 

But my vote goes for 1 Ace, 3 2's, and a 4

 

Peavy's the ACE, Danks, Floyd, and Buehrle are the 2's, and Contreras is a 4.

 

But we will see.

whoops. Meant Nix obviously. It's like SS is throwing him off. At 2B he makes that look easy.

Which is weird. Anyone could understand if it were the throws he was struggling with, but he's having problems with groundballs.

ah f*** it

Seriously. I think they picked up Hairston just to play us.

From what I read, each hitter is able to access a computer program that can break down pretty much any situation and what a pitcher is likely to throw in any count, and pitchers have a similar program to let them know what to expect certain hitters to do in certain counts.

 

With the statistical analysis overload that is the internets, these hitters have MORE than enough chance to review each guy specifically.

How many hits are we gonna give up today? What's the record number of hits in a game against us at the Cell? My god.

A homer there woulda been the game. Thanks Dye. We're still breathing.

Alright, now let's score some more runs...

Peña for the most part was Tony today and not Jose

I'll settle for chipping away. Let's get the line movin'!

 

is jeter's shot gone in the new yankee stadium?

They have the chance, but I would just wonder how often said procedure is skipped out on. Guy by guy leaguewide, I'm sure there is a big range of how much each hitter prepares for their day.

Hard to believe we have five innings worth of at bats left. Knock out CC like they finished off Mark!

Safe.

Becks looking good on outs

 

 

 

 

 

It's crazy how even if he tends to have unimpressive but decent relief appearances like this one, Peña still impacts the franchise probably more than a 1B/LF Jose Guillen-type minor leaguer mightve.

 

Not that we know for sure yet.
