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

 

Downs shouldn't ever ever face a righty again. Just save him for the one lefty you MUST get out late.

This is also going to be a 3:40 or so game with only nine runs scored.

 

Yankees' baseball, nothing like it.

At least Alexei didn't try to steal there...ugh.

Paulie shouldn't rip the ump there. He wasn't going to get a hit against a guy who throws like that.

This is a game we really miss Abreu in the middle of the order.

 

Viciedo's been scuffling.

NYY 5-4 thru 7

Well, you'd need a competent manager to pull that off

That's just way too long ... disgraceful.

More concessions revenues!!!

 

And now we're leaving Petricka in when he's obviously lost his stuff.

 

Sigh. No good options right now with this pen.

 

I'm sure if he gives up more runs, we'll have wanted Webb, though. Or Guerra.

Yankees are dominating the game within the game -- the final 3 innings.

it's called they have a great end of the bullpen, and the White Sox bullpen is worn out and in shambles

Yeah, they definitely have some arms.

Wow...this outcome wasn't completely predictable, Mr. Manager?

 

 

All this game needs is Mike Hargrove hitting.

 

Petricka doesn't have a good enough breaking ball to miss bats.

JP has hit the skids.

The problem is when you have a starter only go six and have to manage the final three innings, you have to have an old time set-up guy who can get you a full inning, lefty/rightymatchups be damned! Do we have anybody like that? Webb maybe. Choosing Downs was dumb because he sucks against righties. It's kind of early to be playing the one-batter thing.

Why not just go with Putnam, Webb and Belisario again? Putnam is effective against LHP anyways.

Not a fan of any reliever ever going 3 days in a row. Hopefully he gets the rest of the weekend off after this game, as he's had a long week.

This is getting boring.

Probably not going to be able to use Petricka now until next week.

 

 

Now he's bringing in Daniel Webb, when he could/should have used him against Soriano?

 

We're burning through our entire pen anyway at this rate.

Sox gonna see our old friend Thornton in the 8th?

God damn this game is so long

That's probably the way he should be going right now except nights those guys are not available. Sounds good to me.

DJ still talking up Petricka as a possible starter.

 

 

Would be nice to get Gardner out. Otherwise we have no chance if he gets hit here.

Sox hitters may be able to get to him.
