Death To Flying Things

2005-09-24 09:44

by Cliff Corcoran

Jason Giambi returns to the line-up today as Jaret Wright and Scott Downs face off at the Stadium. The MVP bats second, Giambi three, Cano down to seventh with Bernie and Bubba rounding it out as the Yanks look to make it six straight.

So, any guesses as to what flying object will strike Jaret Wright today?

1. mikeplugh

Okay,it's a little after 2am and I've decided that sleep is overrated. I have a lecture to give this morning, but I can sacrifice a few hours of sleep for my Yanks.

These are the brutal days in Japan.

2005-09-24 10:14:54

2. mikeplugh

Nice start. How soon before Small comes in?

2005-09-24 10:15:27

3. Rich

Wright's first inning stats are good, but he has struggled early lately.

2005-09-24 10:15:29

4. yankz

Come on, Wright. Settle down.

2005-09-24 10:15:33

5. Dimelo

There is no time to rest, these are our playoffs. There should be no let-up now. Grind, Mike, grind...

2005-09-24 10:17:02

6. Rich

Yikes, Wright, get your shit together.

2005-09-24 10:17:24

7. Dimelo

F'en Wright.

2005-09-24 10:18:57

8. yankz

4 singles to lead off the game. Get Small ready...

2005-09-24 10:19:04

9. Rich

Bad luck on that one. Shea sucks, except against us.

2005-09-24 10:19:37

10. Rich

Gawd, Matsui is awful defensively.

2005-09-24 10:19:39

11. mikeplugh

And just like that we put the Red Sox back into the race.

2005-09-24 10:19:44

12. yankz

Oh, my.

2005-09-24 10:20:31

13. mikeplugh

We can survive about 5 runs today. Any more than that and I fear we buy the farm for the day.

2005-09-24 10:20:49

14. yankz

This is getting ugly, fast. 0 out.

2005-09-24 10:21:03

15. Rich

Calm down, the Yankees will win.

Wright hit again.

2005-09-24 10:21:05

16. mikeplugh

Ouch. Are you serious?

2005-09-24 10:21:11

17. yankz

What are the fucking odds?!?!?!

2005-09-24 10:21:29

18. Dimelo

Matsui is an awful outfielder.

WOW...Wright has no luck.

2005-09-24 10:21:44

19. mikeplugh

How does a guy get hit this many times. Is someone telling him to stay home?

2005-09-24 10:21:50

20. Zack

Well, no surprise, today is the day the Yanks regress majorly. Our brilliant offseason signing, one of Torre's "warriors," stinks it up.

You know, Wright must have really slow reactions...

2005-09-24 10:21:59

21. atc

at least he got an out

2005-09-24 10:22:25

22. Rich

He got hit on the right shoulder.

I blame Cliff. ;-)

2005-09-24 10:22:50

23. mikeplugh

Keep it at 3 runs in the 1st and we'll get it back in short order.

2005-09-24 10:23:12

24. Cliff Corcoran

I feel terrible!

2005-09-24 10:23:14

25. Zack

I really think it has less to do with luck and more with fielding. The bat, okay I give you that was freaky, but that last one was simply not getting his glove up

2005-09-24 10:24:00

26. rbj

Jaret, take the "hit it here, win a suit" sign off your uniform.
Glad I'm going to miss the end of the game.
Go Orioles.

2005-09-24 10:24:20

27. yankz

Everyone but Hillenbrand has hit it hard. I think.

2005-09-24 10:24:22

28. Zack

4-0, gotta keep it there

2005-09-24 10:26:20

29. Cliff Corcoran

Hmmm. First five men reach base. Since Wright was hit with that ball, which would have been a single up the middle had it not hit him, he got three straight outs.

Is three the charm?

2005-09-24 10:26:42

30. mikeplugh

Painful, but I have a feeling we'll see some runs on the board from the home team today. How about a good old fashioned 8-6 win?

2005-09-24 10:27:18

31. Cliff Corcoran

That is, the other two hit-by-objects knocked him out of the game. Here's hoping this one knocked him into the game.

2005-09-24 10:27:54

32. BklynBomber

If this a 5 pitch inning, I'm gonna go out and commit a crime...

2005-09-24 10:27:55

33. Rich

Godzilla better have a monster day with the bat.

2005-09-24 10:27:57

34. Cliff Corcoran

I can dig on that, Mike.

2005-09-24 10:28:20

35. Ramone

Wright blows. Remind me again why either Wang or Chacon has to go to the bullpen?

2005-09-24 10:28:36

36. Dimelo

If Matsui makes the catch, it's 2 - 0.

2005-09-24 10:29:24

37. Shaun P

Ugh. I guess Wright wasn't hurt too badly this time, huh?

I don't have the game on TV - is anyone warming up?

2005-09-24 10:29:39

38. BklynBomber

Those are moments Mats reminds me of Shemp...

2005-09-24 10:30:19

39. Cliff Corcoran

I see Downs struggling a bit with location, but a big zone from the home plate ump. What do you see?

2005-09-24 10:30:59

40. Cliff Corcoran

Ramone, neither of those guys is going to the bullpen, I'm not sure I know what you're talking about.

2005-09-24 10:32:02

41. Rich

No one is warming that I know of.

2005-09-24 10:33:30

42. BklynBomber

We are fortunate to get to watch him play for the Yankees every game.

49. Cliff Corcoran

MVP Chant. Nice.

2005-09-24 10:34:59

50. Zack

See, A-rod, you should have waited until it was the 9th inning, than you could be "clutch" like fatty

Show/Hide Comments 51-100

2005-09-24 10:35:14

51. atc

Wait a second...that at bat wasn't with a runner in scoring position and it wasn't after the 6th inning, so it obviously wasn't a clutch hit.

2005-09-24 10:35:33

52. Cliff Corcoran

Giambi down on three pitches. Wondering if Torre should have put him back in lower in the order.

2005-09-24 10:35:33

53. Rich

Giambi was late on all of Down's slow stuff.

2005-09-24 10:35:46

54. atc

beat me to it Zack

2005-09-24 10:36:36

55. yankz

Ah, so close.

2005-09-24 10:37:30

56. Yankee Fan in Chicago

Why not wait until we're facing a righty to put Giambi back in the line-up?

2005-09-24 10:37:34

57. Cliff Corcoran

If that ball to Sheff was two more inches over the plate, that clears the wall.

2005-09-24 10:38:04

58. Cliff Corcoran

Giambi hits lefties better than Tino this year.

2005-09-24 10:38:18

59. Zack

Here's hoping Wright settles down now, that is greatly needed

2005-09-24 10:38:57

60. Shaun P

Thanks, Rich 41.

Hopefully, Giambi will have learned something from his first at-bat. C'mon, Godzilla!

2005-09-24 10:39:00

61. Rich

Torre is a creature of habit. He was slow to move Giambi up in the lineup and he would be slow to move him back down.

2005-09-24 10:39:26

62. Shaun P

Giambi hits better than Tino period this year. =)

2005-09-24 10:39:26

63. Cliff Corcoran

Jorge missed that curve by about ten feet.

2005-09-24 10:40:00

64. Rich

No more runs, Wright.

2005-09-24 10:40:06

65. Cliff Corcoran

Not in May, Shaun.

2005-09-24 10:41:04

66. mikeplugh

Okay. Two at a time.

It's up to Jaret to hold 'em here.

2005-09-24 10:42:13

67. Zack

Man, people really die on Torre's bench. When was the last time Woemack, Bellhorn, Phillips, or anyone else played. I know its a race and all, but those guys must be beyond rusty. Same thing with Mendoza/F-Rod

2005-09-24 10:42:42

68. Rich

Get Small up now Torre, don't fuck around.

2005-09-24 10:44:07

69. mikeplugh

Where's Aaron Small? Wright sucks.

2005-09-24 10:44:18

70. Rich

If Small isn't warming, someone pour green tea over Torre's head.

2005-09-24 10:44:27

71. Zack

Crap, get him out of there now, Joe!

2005-09-24 10:44:33

72. Rich

Small up.

2005-09-24 10:44:45

73. mikeplugh

He's the bed.

2005-09-24 10:45:01

74. Zack

Do we relly want him pitching next start either?

2005-09-24 10:45:17

75. mikeplugh

I meant to say he's "sh^&^ing" the bed.

2005-09-24 10:45:44

76. Zack

Torre,don't wait until it is too late!

2005-09-24 10:45:51

77. Shaun P

True, Cliff, but ever since then . . .

Remember what a black hole 1B was last year?

This year, between Tino and Giambi, as 1B in 508 ABs, they have 39 HR, 107 RBI, 82BB, 102K, 143H, 19 2B, and have scored 83 runs. That's Mark Texeira-territory.

I see from Yahoo! that Wright is back to giving up singles . . . please tell me that someone is starting to warm up now.

2005-09-24 10:45:56

78. mikeplugh

I didn't want Wright in this game when we sent Small to the pen. Small is better than Wright.

2005-09-24 10:46:15

79. Rich

Wright is the pen now. Even Torre will be able to see that...I think.

2005-09-24 10:46:15

80. atc

I don't ever want him pitching for us again

2005-09-24 10:46:43

81. Shaun P

Thanks again, Rich. Small to the rescue?

2005-09-24 10:47:24

82. Rich

Let's hope so, Shaun.

2005-09-24 10:47:35

83. mikeplugh

double play would be nice here

2005-09-24 10:48:03

84. mikeplugh

Or a walk.....nice pitching.

2005-09-24 10:48:15

85. Rich

See ya, Wright.

2005-09-24 10:48:37

86. Zack

Lovely situation for Small to come into

2005-09-24 10:48:44

87. mikeplugh

At least we yank him early. Get out of it Aaron.

2005-09-24 10:48:45

88. Stormer Sports

Pedro or Wright, good choice Cash.

2005-09-24 10:49:06

89. Zack

Small will be lucky to get out with a 6-2 game, lucky...

2005-09-24 10:49:08

90. Shaun P

Oh Lord, and Wells is coming up. Please PLEASE tell me Wright is being pulled as I type this . . .

2005-09-24 10:49:48

91. rbj

Tough situation for Small. He'll probably give up one or two runs.

2005-09-24 10:50:14

92. mikeplugh

Now the game begins. We'll give up two more here to make it 6-2, but the Yanks will rally and Small will hold them to 1 more run over 5 innings. Gordon and Rivera will lock it down and we'll win it around the 8th inning.

2005-09-24 10:50:59

93. Yankee Fan in Chicago

He threw one pitch out of 8 inside to Frankie C.

I mean if you can't challenge FC inside, something's wrong, no?

2005-09-24 10:51:30

94. Shaun P

FWIW, on the postgame radio broadcast last night, Susyn or Sterling (I forget which) said Wright wanted very badly to pitch today, and wasn't the type of guy to say if he was hurt or not.

He's so bad - and I can't see him - I don't know how to tell if this is just a crappy performance, or if he is hurt. In either case, someone should knock some sense into him. If he is hurt, he damn well shouldn't be pitching in the middle of this race when the team has other (good) options available!

2005-09-24 10:51:59

95. Rich

That's one.

2005-09-24 10:52:43

96. mikeplugh

Bloody Cano. Tough ball but please man.

I'm leaning towards game over right now. 7 runs is too much. I think we lost this one fellas. Never say die, but we're bleeding pretty bad now.

109. Shaun P

Hey, not too long ago our bullpen gave up how many runs to the Blue Jays? Who says the Blue Jays won't return us the favor?

Maybe I'm more optomistic 'cause I haven't seen any of it, just read it online here.

And, because of this stupid saturday schedule, the Sox get to watch all of this and go into their game and be ready to catch that game

This game is far from over. Let's see the grind Yanks...

I'm still awake. You'll know when I've given up, baecause I'll say goodnight and go back to bed.

I'm not giving up. Wright's out, Small looks good. Cano will be sharp as tacks after that error; that's how it works with him. He'll lead the charge back.

I'm not fucking giving up.

Five runs down after 1 1/2 ain't nothin'.

We can come back. Small keeps it close, we score 12 today, I can feel it.

Small back to the rotation?

2005-09-24 11:02:26

119. randym77

I'd like to see Wright go to the pen, if only because Small seems more durable.

2005-09-24 11:02:27

120. Stormer Sports

yankz,

Well yea! Wright belongs in the pen, if anywhere.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but this one's done. Pull all the starters. At least they'll get the better part of a day off. Return rested for tomorrow.

122. randym77

BUBBA! Show 'em how it's done. ;-)

I still can't believe youth over experience has us with Wright and not Pedro. Wright has one good year since 1997 and he gets how much, 12 mil., for 3 years. Cash, man you got to own up to that one.

2005-09-24 11:05:14

124. Rich

No way I'd pull the starters now. No freakin' way.

2005-09-24 11:05:39

Wright got 21 mil for 3 yrs

2005-09-24 11:06:41

126. Stormer Sports

atc,

That's all? 7 mil.?

Still, I just think if you can sign Pedro, you do it.

2005-09-24 11:06:48

127. Rich

Stormer,

Why do you think it wsa Wright or Pedro? Pedro's contract was for approx. $30 million more.

Fuck you Down, you assclown.

FUCK YOU, DOWNS

It's only the 2nd inning. They have plenty of time to catch them.

Jeter hit by pitch for the 2nd time today.

2005-09-24 11:07:25

131. Shaun P

Pull the starters in the 2nd? No way they should give up this early. We ain't Tampa Bay.

BTW, Yahoo says Crosby "singled to catcher"? A very good bunt attempt?

Way to go, Cap'n! Take another one for the team. Now, Mr. MVP, could you help us out here?
