BigSqwert Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 03:26 PM) Swisher benched for Hairston is being reported. How awesome would it be if Dewayne Wise played in Swisher's spot, wearing a Hairston Jr jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Intentionally walking Chase Utley in the 3rd inning to face Ryan Howard, and it works. That's some strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan99 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) Pedro and Cliff Lee have been terrific in this series but it amazes me how much the Yankees have expanded their strike zone in these first two games. They look like the White Sox right now, taking fast balls right down the pipe and then swinging at breaking balls outside of the zone. Â Now obviously the pitching has a lot to do with that but that isn't typical for this Yankees lineup. And as I type this Matsui hits a Yankee stadium HR and the Yanks lead 2-1.

whitesoxfan99 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 What the f*** was Jeter doing? Trying to bunt with two strikes and I really dislike calling for him to bunt in that situation in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan99 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) Another missed call by the umpires but at least that was close. It is time for instant replay in baseball. Although I'm not sure how replay would handle those types of plays since how the defense continues the play is determined by the initial call.

whitesoxfan99 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 And Utley was safe on the double play turned by the Yankees. At least the missed calls tonight have been close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexSoxFan#1 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I thought Utley was safe and the replay confirmed it,I know it was a bang bang play but aren't these suppossed to be MLB's finest umps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Like one poster said a while back, it seems like every call always goes to the Yankees. It's been like that for years in the postseason.

greg775 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 He actually said he was shocked he was sat down  Did he really say that in the media? Unwritten rule: Players NEVER b**** during the postseason unless they are named Reggie or George Bell. You shut the f*** up and try to contribute to a WS title. Where did Swish b****? NY Post or ?

I realize the OPS and OBP are nice, but when push comes to shove and it matters, a good pitcher will get Swisher out damn near all of the time because of the serious flaws in Swisher's swing/game. Â Swisher was a solid back of the order hitter though, I'll say that much, but to put that sort of guy in the middle of your order, youd' be screwed (OPS isn't an end all be all).

whitesoxfan99 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Phillies going with a 4 man rotation and Blanton to start game 4. That means Lee only will start in game 5 and won't be available for more than a few innings if it goes 7. Huge advantage to the Yankees.

Maybe they think they have a chance to beat Sabbathia in game 4 even with Blanton pitching, then think they have a big edge in game 5 against Burnett with Lee?
