Who is on the bench tonight for the NYYs?
First RISP test of the evening.
Jeter & A-Rod, the old guys came through!
Stewart may get a new personal pitcher.
Sabbathia hasn’t been at his best pitching to Stewart. Maybe it’s time for a change.
Assign him to Garcia, don’t want to hurt the other starters.
Not sure Russell Martin’s knees would be happy with that arrangement.
What would Uggla have to do with the bat to reach the HOF?
Use it to break down the front door.
What’s the standard for 2B? Not a lot of them in the Hall.
Here’s a list:

I guess maybe he has a better chance than I thought.
OK, 17 of them, but only Sandberg recently. Is he better than Sandberg, adjusted for era?
Don’t know how to adjust for era or where to find such. Two things working against Uggla; Cano & Pedroia.
Fangraphs to the rescue.
Uggla has 24.5 WAR and he’s in his 7th year.
Cano has 27.4 in his 8th year, Pedroia has 26.9 in his 7th year, although he’s had injuries.
So it’s kind of close.
YES! Kuroda works out of it.
What was that Simmons bunt all about? Weird!
It’s about the dumbest thing I’ve seen in…this game so far.
Kuroda has been tough when in a jam.
He’s getting better, maybe hitting his stride.
I think Sabbathia will warm up with the hot weather.
I certainly hope so. He’s thrown a lot of high stress pitches this year. I’m afraid if that doesn’t change soon it will hurt him during the stretch run.
For a 1-0 score this game is moving along very slowly.
Yeah. A lot of pitches, I guess.
Kuroda comes through again. But now up to 77 pitches. Gonna need at least 3 BP innings at this rate.
Who’s available out of the pen?
Garcia, Phelps…….actually, it should be pretty much everyone with Thurs being a travel / off day.
Except Rapada.
Garcia in a 1-0 game? Hmm…
Crud.
Just too many lead off hitters on base.
Now they need to get to the ATL ‘pen and come from behind again.
Get the run in, guys.
Or that.
I guess there’s no need to wait for the ‘pen.
I can’t believe Kuroda back out there.
Trying to stretch it, I guess. Pen’s tired and Girardi doesn’t trust Phelps or Garcia.
I agree, but it makes you wonder why they are on the roster….or at least both of them. Maybe one is the odd man out Friday.
Yeah, especially Phelps, who needs to develop.
Kuroda came through.
Now it’s a Cross v. Bic kind of game.
Ha ha ha.
The Mets scored 20 runs vs. Rays in 2 games. WOW!
Yeah, the Rays really tanked. They didn’t score much, either.
Unfortunately the Os won. Looks like their mini skid may be over, especially with Roberts back.
I still don’t know if they’re for real.
Pitching is probably their biggest problem.
IBB to A-Rod to face Cano? Come on Robbie make them pay!
Damn!!
I’ll be glad to have Robertson back.
I know. Not comfortable with Eppley. Meanwhile, Phelps hasn’t pitched in like 12 days.
i don’t understand it. He’s not terible, so you can pitch him in a close game. Is he in Girardi’s doghouse for some reason?
Got the DP!
Double play settles my stomach.
Let’s get some All State runs.
That really is a weird way to get the sign for a pitcher.
What do you mean?
Now Sori don’t make us sorry!
Is he going to make us sweat, or have a nice 1-2-3?
1,3,4
There’s the 1.
And a 2.
2,3,4. Good enough.
Take it easy. See you Friday, if I can.
Nice chatting with ya.
This run they are on, with the come from behind wins and the patched together pen looks like the Yanks of old.
