weak grounder to Peralta.

Awesome thanks.


Great catch Avila, hope did not hurt ribs on the barrier.

Verlander with 20 pitches through 2 (15 Strikes). Must be a really bad sign for Yankee fans lol.

It would be nice to score some early runs just to really suck the life even more out of the Yankees.

Have to be patient with Hughes. The more pitches we see the better.

Do you mean as the game goes or in each AB?

Because Dan Dickerson mentioned earlier that hitters have more success against Hughes swinging early in the count.

Really wish this offense wasn't so slow to get it going. Keep letting these pitchers settle into the game...ugh...

Haha, somewhere on a Yankees message board the same thing is being typed.

Chavez swung at ball 4 on the 3-1 pitch and then flies out to center on the 3-2 pitch.

TBS says nobody is saying the yankee's lost Sunday due to the bad call but then goes on to whine some more about it for 5 mins. LOL R these guys for real?

Fans

Is it me or is the crowd quiet right now. Are we nervous or just waiting for an eruption by our offense.

 

[tigermud]

Bats need to start swinging early tonight best pitches they are getting is the first one.

Everyone just seems to have that "we got this" attitude because JV is on the mound.

 

[manchild98]

I never noticed Berry's plate music was Biggie. I don't tlike the bunt there.
