Ellsbury is damn good. How bout a miracle 6-4-3?

 

 

He has been completely lost at the plate recently.

Yanks with the lead. Don't worry, the two lefty relievers In AAA combined to give up 8 runs in an inning.

This team wins game in spite of RV not because of him.......FU RV!

Petricka is throwing very slow stuff. This isn't good.

Is Ventura deliberately trying to give this game away to appease all of the Yankees' fans attending the game in raw/cold spring weather?

Petricka crashing back to Earth. His stuff looks awful the last two games. Just unbelievably terrible bullpen mgmt this season.

Petricka clearly wasn't ready. I'm not sure why nobody was up in case Downs sucked (no surprise, he sucked against right handers).

Damn we have nine hits and only four runs. We need about five more hits and three more runs.

Purcey and Veal? De Los Santos? Can't even remember what's left of that bullpen.

 

Well, it could be worse...we could be the Red Sox and lose eight games in a row like the White Sox did this same time last year.

Could be worse, but should be better. Ventura has no business being a MLB manager.

I don't understand why he wouldn't have used Javy Guerra over Scott Carroll with the White Sox down 4-3...that's not exactly a long man/waste innings situation there.

I'm not sure how you can be so unprepared in that situation. The coaching staff had to know that the Yankees were going to pinch hit for Johnson with Soriano, right? In that case, the only left handed hitter Downs could have faced was Gardner and Downs should only be pitching to left handed hitters.

He has not progressed 1% as a manager from day 1 on the job.

You better make that 4-5 runs with the way the bullpen's been going recently...except for Putnam and Webb.

Time for whatever the heart of our lineup is to do something

Soriano now hitting .325 vs LHP and .194 vs RHP. Thanks again Robin

Ha, Dayan looked like he gave zero s***s there.

 

We need Adam to run into one.

There were Roberts (switch), Johnson and Gardner in a row, but no way were they going to leave Johnson in there...if for no other reason than nobody could play 1B any worse.

 

I'm not sure how many games Brendan Ryan has played there his entire career, but Eaton or DeAza should bunt at him.

Hadn't looked at Viciedo average in a while.....yikes

Downs looked annoyed when Flowers went to the mound after the first hit.

 

I hope that didn't sway Ventura to leave him in.

 

Downs better figure it out quick because he's been dreadful.

Needs to be released, it's obvious he is done. Huge misses on him and Paulino

I thought Jeter was God?

Give Jeter a gold glove.

De Los Santos, Leesman, Surkamp.

 

Not many left-handed options.
