Good evening, Yankee fans! Hope you all had a good day and are settling in for the night to watch the Bombers take on David Price (3.73/3.11/2.95 E/F/x) and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. I’ll be enjoying one of these while I watch this lineup try and back up starting pitcher Freddy Garcia (3.43/3.94/4.23 E/F/x):
1. Derek Jeter, SS. .401 wOBA vs. LHP this year.
2. Curtis Granderson, CF. .108 IsoD and .268 IsoP for July.
3. Mark Teixeira, 1B. .381 wOBA vs. LHP, .361 vs. RHP
4. Robinson Cano, 2B. .402 wOBA vs. LHP, .346 vs. RHP. Holy reverse split, Batman.
5. Nick Swisher, DH. BA/OBP back up to career norms, SLG/IsoP just need to catch up.
6. Russell Martin, C. wOBA by month: .423; .322; .242; .226. Jesus help us?
7. Andruw Jones, RF. 10.4 BB%, 29.2 K%
8. Eduardo Nunez, 3B. .519 SLG, .250 IsoP, .352 wOBA vs. LHP
9. Brett Gardner, LF. OBP by month: .273; .379; .404; .431

TIQ IQ
Jeter musta heard you, Duh. He was sitting on second after leading off with a solid single, then stealing a base, when Grandy shooed him home.
Hahaha :) Nah, Captain Can’t Hit Anymore turned his usual great in his first at-bat/crap after that performance. The Yanks still would’ve won 3-0 without CCHA on base.
They should have CCHA bat to lead off the game then take him out after that every game for as great as he’s hitting to begin games LOL.
Two-run shot by Granderson. The Yankees really need a power surge.
Good to see Gardner running and running well.
Yikes; Curtis is really struggling w/the roof!
Yep.
Kim Jones should feed the rays pork chops.
Imagine if one of those rays jumped up and snapped at her face. She’d be a lifetime ESPN highlight reel right up there with the poor sap who ran into the outfield wall and made it flip down and Jose Canseco having the ball bounce off his head and go over the fence for a homerun (recaptured in a scene in “For Love Of The Game”.)
I supremely dislike Sam Fuld.
All these swings and misses from Freddy. Love it.
All right, everyone who said last year that Brett Gardner couldn’t sustain his OBP, admit you were wrong.
/puts hand up
A lot of people did And it wasn’t an outlandish position. Brett Gardner is a rarity.
I wonder just how rare. Is there anybody in MLB history with less power and a better OBP?
I know there probably are many. Just wondering how many
think “throwback”
Brett Gardner walks. Water wet.

Two damn runs.
Logan got the K. Now score some runs.
Boone booers notice: the loogy got the clever Kotchman. Hard battle it was.
Howdy doo, Professori. Did you see your local AA game?
Single A. Yes, The Staten Island Yankees swept the Hudson Valley renegades in a double header, including a 4-run 7th inning in the nightcap to tie the game and send it into extra innings.
You certainly got your money’s worth. was it fun? Did you see some future Yankees?
The most impressive guy I saw was Cito Culver. He looked good in the field–no spectacular plays, but he looked good all around–had a couple of hits and drew two walks, which is always good.
The starting pitching wasn’t very impressive. A guy named Mitchell Bryan (I think–for some reason they have two right-handed pitchers with the same number) started game one. He looked wild. He threw two wild pitches and hit a guy, plus made an error on a wild throw. He wasn’t walking people through most of the game but the ump had a wide zone and the hitters were pretty free swingers. He was pitching a shutout into the 5th (of a 7-inning game) when he finally walked two and came out of the game. The pitcher who replaced him, Vidal Nuno, immediately gave up a game-tying two-run double, but then retired the next 7 hitters in a row to end the game, the last 5 by strikeouts. He looked good.
In the second game, Mathew Tracy, a lefty, started and got pounded. He gave up the cycle in two innings, including a homer, a triple, a double, and 5 singles.
Some wide variance in those pitching performances! I was thinking to ask how many innings in the game, but didn’t want to sound dumb.
For some reason, in the NY-Penn league double headers have 7-inning games (other minor leagues, too, I think). I don’t know the rationale.
I guess they don’t want to wear the young dudes out.
poor old punching bag, Grandy
I don’t like sending runners in front of Tex.
Heat.
yeah, no changeups, no curveballs
Let’s see if Robertson busts out the change against Joyce.
it’s probably like with starters starting: you don’t show else till they show they can hit the fb.
Longo and Joyce were definitely expecting the curve.
All fastballs for Robertson; nice.
Martin’s OBP is a hundred points higher than his BA, and it’s only .317.
woohoo! Be happy with whatever you get: his game is really theother half of the inning. Did you catch, on Matt Joyce’s 1st strikeout, Russell stabbed his foot to the right, just before the pitch, to make him expect he was setting up inside? The pitch was low and away, whiffed!
That was a beautiful play by Jeter. What grace!
Mo! Mo! Mo-o–o!
Price was very tough, but hand it toSenor Garcia. He’s the man.
A win. Tomorrow–three of four.
yeaah
