My soapbox time...lol...I think pitchers are baseball players not just pitchers..just look at what happened with Tanaka..Not in baseball shape to run the bases but he was in pitchers shape. Now in defense of the pitcher I don't like hitters who wear elbow pads to the plate..This isn't hockey..By wearing the elbow pad the hitter doesn't have to worry about the inside pitch and can now stand in thby unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
I don't understand how he gets hurt running in a straight line 85 feet.. He has to field his position on bunts and then make a throw.. But he did look better hitting than Sanchezby unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
Romine is also a better defensive catcher.. But the Yanks will need Sanchez bat sometime this season.by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
Let's hope the players are not listening to the media and play Yankees baseball..Mets pitching will keep then in games, need to get pitch counts up.by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
Why hasn't Sanchez been moved down in the order? Maybe Aaron doesn't want to mess up a good lineup..Don't try to fix it if it's not broken?by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
I usually listen to the games on radio and attempt to count how many advertisements John Sterling can get in during a 9 inning game.by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
I know the Yanks are in 1st place because baseball goes by percentage points, but ESPN and other sports outlets have the Beaneaters on top.with the Yanks a 1/2 game out...How about getting it correctby unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
I've been able to watch the Yankees on TV lately and it seem Sanchez doesn't present the ball to the umpire and is costing the pitchers strikes and the pitchers are behind in the count and then throw a meatball to the hitters. Today I've seen 4 times he has cost the pitcher a strike. Also notice that it seems Chapman doesn't like to throw to him..by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
1st 3 innings we had 2nd and 3rd 1 out or less and we left 6 runners on base.. 1st inning 3 straight popups..unrealby unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
Why do they always walk the 1st batter of an inning when they come into the game?by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
QuoteHitman23 We may make the playoffs, but with our pitching (starting & relief), we may not go very far. Let's hope for rain during the playoffs ....No Sonny Gray....by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
Keep him in the minors,,,He has done nothing in the majors in his career but get injured. We are winning without him, don't rock the boat.by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
I'm wondering what the Yanks are going to do when the Idiot Ellsbury is ready to return...by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
Tanaka is batting 8th...I look for Clint to be the 1st pitch hitter off the benchby unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
PED users should be not only be suspended but should be fined and their team should not have to pay them while on suspension. also they should have to take a pay cut...It is just plain old cheating..by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
Do they have Yankees "hard" cups for coffee..Only beaneaters cups here in RI...by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
Umpire forgot about calling the lower part of the strikezone...by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
I'm with Toga..Spend $$$ on pitching..by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
He is not pitching in a pitchers ballpark like Oakland.. I don't think he can handle the pressure of playing for the Yankees..He has been a disappointing so far in his Yankee career so far..by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
11-2 on the 13 games against 1st place teams...boy was I wrong picking 8-5...but it was a good wrong lolby unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
QuoteHitman23 I wish Price didn't go down. I'm concerned that the remaining match ups are now Porcello vs Tanaka & Rodriguez vs CC. I was so looking forward to seeing the Yanks pummel Price at the stadium tonight. Now I'll be happy if they score three runs and scratch out another win like last night. That is a Freddy Kruger Scratch the Yanks put on the Beaneaters....by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
Today is a good day to be a Yankees fan living in RI...by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
I agree he should have not been left in...Cone thought it was a great idea...No game tomorrow the whole bullpen should he ready to pitch today.by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
Go ahead Cone keep talking about how good Betances is pitching better in the 8th inning than the 7th...Open your eyes!!!!by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
His passed ball moved runners up in the 6th..If that didn't happen Tanaka might have gotten a win today. On the play you mentioned Gary had his glove the wrong way to stop the ball. what ever happened to using your body to block the ball? Everyone is making excuses for his defensive short comings because of his bat..by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
Crazy game today...Yanks 0 hits from 3rd to 8th inning then score 4 in the 9th...Astros 0 runs for 6 innings then score 4 in the 7th...by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
Yankees should have Ellsbury sell Popcorn in the bleachers..But he might stub his toe going up the stairs.by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
Time to start another winning streak tonight!by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
Angels/Astros/Indians/Beaneaters The next 13 games are huge for the Yanks. I want better than what I think it will be which is 8-5.. with a sweep of the Beaneaters. 2-1 2-2 2-1 3-0 Any other predictions?by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
