I Can See Clearly Now

tumblr_nay41zRuJc1qbhl2oo1_1280 It’s the big fella, Pineda. Yo, we haven’t talked about it much but the one thing that stands out to me about Pineda is his swagger. He’s got great stuff, clearly, and some attitude to back it up. Yanks haven’t had a cocky dude like him as a starter for awhile.

The boys need him to be on today. Ellsbury’s out of the line-up.

Carlos Beltran DH

Stop doing that Pillar.

Just saw on MLB network that V-Mart just hit a 3-run HR off Sox' Chris Sale, in first inning. Scherzer ipitching for Tigers.

Oh, excellent play.

On turf.

4 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2014 12:27 pm

Man, there is nobody in the AL with an OBP over .400?? Or was that just the AL East?

5 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2014 12:27 pm

Ahhhhhhh.

Yeah, that's the danger of Pineda vs Bautista.

6 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2014 12:28 pm

Bautista will do that.

7 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2014 12:29 pm

Yipe. Almost another one.

I think it's fair to say this will not be Pineda's best game.

8 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2014 12:40 pm

Oh come on.

9 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2014 12:49 pm

Yeesh.

Nothing like one of these games to remind us that the Yankees aren't actually good.

10 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2014 12:51 pm

A hit please? Or a base runner?

11 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2014 1:02 pm

Yeah, it's going to be hard to hit a three-run homer if nobody gets on base.

12 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2014 1:03 pm

Yay!!!

This is the way the Perfect Game ends
Not with a bang, but with a whimper.

13 coleman42   ~  Aug 30, 2014 1:04 pm

Just in time for Tex to tie the game

14 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 30, 2014 1:05 pm

Bah! I thought Beltran would score fo sho!

15 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2014 1:05 pm

Well there ya go

16 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2014 1:05 pm

Geez, is Beltran that slow? That looked like a hit that most guys would score from first on. Especially with two outs.

17 coleman42   ~  Aug 30, 2014 1:06 pm

Have to settle

18 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2014 1:06 pm

A hit, please, Martin.

19 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2014 1:08 pm

Nope.

20 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 30, 2014 1:08 pm

F.A.I.L.

21 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2014 2:01 pm

Oh goody, a 2 out baserunner.

22 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 30, 2014 2:07 pm

This is not good.

23 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2014 2:11 pm

Slider, Kelley, slider!

24 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 30, 2014 2:15 pm

Sláinte! Now score some friggin' runs!

25 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2014 2:16 pm

Very nice.
On the off chance we win this game, Kelley gets a TotH.

26 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2014 2:16 pm

So the Jays offense sucks too.

27 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2014 2:25 pm

Sigh.

28 coleman42   ~  Aug 30, 2014 2:29 pm

Maybe they could switch the cameras around to show the Air Show?

29 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2014 2:36 pm

[28] There's tennis.

30 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2014 2:40 pm

Utterly pathetic.

31 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2014 2:40 pm

Damn.

That was a fairly pathetic attempt. (The whole game, I mean.)

32 BobbyB   ~  Aug 30, 2014 4:37 pm

One hit! Pathetic!! Its A-rods fault!!!

33 Boatzilla   ~  Aug 31, 2014 1:23 am

[32] Of course. And that means it's Cashman's fault. This team is not designed to score runs. He made that strategy very clear by his approach to negotiations with, uh...how can I say this without pissing everyone off....the best 2nd baseman the Yankees have EVER developed.

Then he worked like mad all year and made all these marvelous moves to patch together a crippled pitching staff, but it still doesn't add up to victory without Cano in the line up. And it never will.

Give us the original opening day staff with fully healthy Tanaka and we would still be fighting for the wild card with this line up.
