Real talk, I was kinda trippin how y'all was on Grandy, but gotdamn he out there not even mattering. He needs to drop a lil of that positivity and put a chip on his gotdamned shoulder. My dude is way too talented to be out there looking like that.

he lets a ball drop in front of him, he doesn't get the line drive.

no need to mention to his hitting.

he needs to be benched.

Real talk. A-Rod has been the scapegoat. This guy's offense has been just as bad, but now he's made 2 questionable plays in the outfield that allowed runs to score. I'm done with him. He has the rest of this post season to go crazy and change minds, but seeing how that most likely won't happen, this should be his last season in pinstripes.

He did pitch bad swisher didn't help but neither did he help himself with that walk and no control of the strike zone .
Drob isn't a baby he's pitched multiple innings before I would avoid the heart of the order with phelps unless I had too

The thing is that DRob has pitched 5 of the 6 postseason games. :mindblown:
You can't have him pitch multiple innings when he has pitched in almost every game. That Swisher play clearly looms large. If he catches that, then there are 2 outs and the ballgame would still be tied.

:whoa:


Wouldn't say I hate them. But they're definitely one of my least favorite Yankee teams since I've started watching baseball. You don't see any fire or heart out there outside a couple guys.

These dudes are supposed to be professional hitters, but simply tasks like driving in a runner from 3rd with less than 2 outs, advancing a runner from 2nd to 3rd by pulling the ball, taking a pitch when you're struggling to allow a runner to steal, and just getting that big 2 out hit, seem impossible to achieve.


And those are things Yankee fans have come to expect out of this team, as we should. And since they can't do that on a consistent basis, they're not liked as much as other Yankee teams.

Who's fault is that? Girardi or long? I say joe since he was the one arguing against small ball

No and he's finished for the series , girardi already said how he can't hit righties and give Arod the thought that every atbat might be his last since its his fault swisher sucks , cano batting .077 and grandy is should be Kurtis Granderson

So Chavez and Nunez in the field. :wow:

Posada got out just in time.

Mo - Torn ACL, Pettite - Broken ankle, Jeter - Fractured ankle. :to:

he hasn't thrown a lot of pitches every game . This isn't the regular season drob might wind up not being needed again all series .
We needed this win especially with Kuroda going Tomm on short rest we need have to use phelps/lowe Tomm too :wtb:We can possibly be down 3-0 before cc gets a chance to pitch

They both gotta take blame I think. :manny: I love adjustments. I think they're one of the most important things in any sport. This problem of not being able to effectively play small ball didn't develop overnight. When players are struggling in a part of the game, it's the job of the coaches and managers to right the ship. And they certainly haven't done a good job at that.

The thing is the team has not had days off. So even if DRob has not thrown many pitches, he can't for more than 1+.

Anyways I'm not even thinking 'bout winning. Losing Jeter was so devastating to the point where I can't even think about the rest of the series. :to:

This team is just so :huhldup: I've never seen a playoff team ( besides us the last few years ) unable to do the Basics. Our best player has no intensity great swing but no urgency and Our manager defines high strung.

By the way why pinch run for grandy ?? The guy used to be able to steal bases and to use out only pinch runner on him is odd. The Ichiro single you have to get to second it's unacceptable to never make it to the next base before the first batter is out
