Jeffrey Maier in RF....the Yankees vs. Orioles playoff thread

[tremonthustler1]

Tex is worthless if he's going to be this big of a liabilty on the bases

Gimpy or not he runs like he has ankle weights on.

Depending on the situation, late in games, they may have to sacrifice his defense for a pinch runner if it comes to it.

Chen killed the Yankees tonight. He's been doing that just like I said he's been doing.

On the other side of things, the Yankees got 1 out of 2. Now, they gotta take 2 out of 3 at home. The series is still in their control.

Change tex with swisher, tex has been hitting really well in the playoffs so far.

i don't really have a problem with teix and swish switching spots since mark is hitting better but his ineffectiveness on the bases due to his injury is what bothers me. everytime he runs i'm hoping he doesn't pull up and have his season ended. i'd rather have him take a walk and hope that granderson pulls one so he can limp around the bases slowly.

and of course everyone is gonna have their ideal line-up and have a good reasons to back up their choices but either way, nobody can deny that a-rod needs to be dropped period.

baltimore amazes me, mediocre lineup, mediocre pitching, how are they winning games?

 

[jflores]

Swisher needs to get replaced in the lineup,nah but fans like him cause he acts a fool.
Is that career 1-32 with risp in the playoffs not in the binder.

Give me Gardner in left and Ichiro in right.

 

[nomoreneveragain]

Exactly right, I at moving down A-Rod down. fukking ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is moving Cano into the 3 hold when Cano is a guy you want to drive runners in.

He's only driving in Nunez, Ichiro and Jeter

Your best hitter bats at 3

There is nobody on the team better suited to hit in that spot. If you put Cano at 3rd, he becomes one giant impatient fukk. that's why he doesn't hit there now.

 

[HHR]

the umps literally fucck up every game, the difference between the odds of getting a hit when youre 1-2 vs 2-1 is huge and twice in the game Nunez and Martin got fuccked on balls that werent close to being strikes. I cant stress enough these nigggas got to be out of here.

This the Martin AB you whining about?

Of the 3 rbis cano has driven in so far none of them have been runs from arod, like I said the playoffs are a different animal than the postseason and arods postseason numbers speak for themselves.

E Arod needs to not press . You can literally tell he wants so bad to redeem himself but work the count nicca take pitches cause fastballs are killing him right now .

No Top 8 vs Mautz

Edit that pitch trax is dead wrong

Strikezone plot for the game

Another good point. It seems like others here don't understand is that Cano batting third means that he won't get anything to hit, and pitchers will just be careful with him.

I guess i was off on location but is there not a called strike that is a ball there?

They would give him no pitches to hit he might as well not bring a bat.

yeah I couldve sworn on TV they had the zone and the ball was inside and low
