Well we could always dust off Nix, who would put up pretty much the same numbers.

I've got the lineup in my sig.

Linebrink at 90-93. Have yet to see the 92-95 MPH fastball consistently...maybe he's letting up a bit more in an effort to get better command/control in the zone after working with Cooper?

Ah yes, HERE is the Scott Linebrink I am used to seeing.

Williams here against Gardner?

 

Santos? Pena?

Linebrink had looked good this season, but he has no zip on his pitches today.

I've got the lineup in my sig.

 

Going two innings at a time without anyone who is hitting seems good...

It's going to be tough to hide Williams and Linebrink in our bullpen if our starters don't regularly go 6 to 8 innings.

you can see where this game is heading

.224/.302/.608 1 HR 4 RBI

 

That's what I get for trying to think positive.

Linebrink pitching too cautiously, like he's a bit gunshy to let go with a fastball over the center of the plate.

 

Farmer hyping up Liney's FB, how he's at 94 this year vs. 88-91 MPH in 2009.

He gives up a hit and then goes 2-0 to the next two hitters...seriously. Don't lose your aggressiveness.

The problem is Teahan hasn't really hit much yet. He's just been taking free passes. I worry that hitting second he would actually have to swing and then not only would his OBP drop, but his BA as well.

Randy Williams back up in the pen...

I really wish we had a second lefty in the bullpen we could trust.

Wait, now Williams is warming up? Haha!

In case you haven't noticed, we go 4 or 5 games each week where the opposing pitcher retires 9 to 12 batters in a row. And that's with our current lineup. Don't see how it would change that much with my suggested lineup.

i don't see setting the line up with all of them in a row will help that. All it does is make it easier for those kind of runs to happen instead of harder.

Granderson limped into third

You can't throw 85% FB's at 92-94 over and over again with this Yankees' line-up.

 

EPIC FAIL.

Thanks for nothing, Linebrink.

 

Sox doing their best effort to make sure the Yankees go 7-1 at home.

Just some brilliant managing here. Of course, let Granderson and Gardner face the RHP with weak stuff.

Would it really have been so hard to try and get an inning from Pena, Santos, Putz, and Jenks?

Why can't anybody do the job when we need a good inning...maybe Ozzie's hands ARE tied. Rediculous. Bottom of the order.

Linebrink left in? No Sergio?

I really wish we had a second lefty in the bullpen we could trust.

 

I'm still working on 'second righty'
