no Beltran  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/18/2014 6:54 pm : link
expected. It's April, no need to play him. Hopefully Kuroda can keep the hot pitching streak going.
Tom Sizemore is playing 3rd?  
BigBlueShock : 4/18/2014 6:56 pm : link
Damn, rumors of his demise have been greatly exaggerated, apparently
We should hammer Bedard  
mfsd : 4/18/2014 6:59 pm : link
he's been awful for a few years

Captain Dan  
RasputinPrime : 4/18/2014 7:03 pm : link
is going to continue to light it up tonight. Book it.
I love how Girardi is rotating players  
kmed : 4/18/2014 7:06 pm : link
this year. Lots of talent on the bench and guys getting regular rest. It's working.
He has usually  
MookGiants : 4/18/2014 7:08 pm : link
done a pretty good job of that. He knows how to handle a bullpen and knows when to rest guys. I still hate the bunting but Joe's not a bad manager
Solarte and McCann with some good pokes  
RasputinPrime : 4/18/2014 7:34 pm : link
have to get at Bedard early. I'd like to wreck their BP today.
great stab by Loney but he tries to get  
RasputinPrime : 4/18/2014 7:37 pm : link
Solarte at second throwing from his butt and he dings Solarte in the back.

Bases juiced for Captain Dan.
Sizemore with the bases clearing double  
RasputinPrime : 4/18/2014 7:38 pm : link
best part - Johnson ignores the stop sign and scores all the way from first.

Suck it Robbie.

3-0
amazing bunt by Ichiro  
RasputinPrime : 4/18/2014 7:39 pm : link
and an amazing play by Longoria.

Challenge time. That was really really close.
Beautiful bunt  
bxgiants4 : 4/18/2014 7:40 pm : link
And play by longoria

Conclusively safe.
Nice start.

Gardy beat out the DP  
RasputinPrime : 4/18/2014 7:44 pm : link
great wheels.

4-0

Steal the bag now.
I wish Flaherty would STFU about the scouts  
RasputinPrime : 4/18/2014 7:57 pm : link
Solarte wasted away for 7 years in the minors while all these scouts passed over him. His current play clearly has everything to do with his attitude and his desperation to do everything necessary to stay at the ML level.
Gardy with another K looking  
RasputinPrime : 4/18/2014 8:19 pm : link
just doesn't seem to have the smarts at the plate and on the bases. No other way to explain his regular boneheadery.
Boxmuncher K's the Cap  
RasputinPrime : 4/18/2014 8:23 pm : link
he is swinging a little aggressively today.

i'd had to endure about 40 H&R Block commercials already this game.

F the F off already.
Nice catch by Ellsbury!

google Tom Sizemore
Jeter in the field is very difficult to watch.  
Dave in Buffalo : 4/18/2014 8:45 pm : link
His arm is terrible.
can't watch the game right now -  
Del Shofner : 4/18/2014 8:45 pm : link
what was up with Kuroda in the 4th?
Kuroda  
Marty866b : 4/18/2014 8:46 pm : link
Really struggling with his command. We'll need to extend the bullpen two win this one.
Kuroda  
PaulN : 4/18/2014 8:46 pm : link
Is a little off tonight, we are going to need to tack on a couple more runs and piece together a good bullpen effort to win this game.

His arm is plenty fine. He's not a good defensive player but it has little to do with his arm.
Escobar  
MookGiants : 4/18/2014 10:01 pm : link
has played like he drank heavily right before the game. He had an easy double play ball before that he was way too nonchalant about and took his time getting it to 1st and Gardner was safe, then he drops another potential double play ball, and then has a boneheaded base running play there

Jester arm has never been an issue.

Great job, Warren.

for some unknown reason  
MookGiants : 4/18/2014 10:14 pm : link
Girardi trusts shit bags like Warren and Phelps in big spots but Betances can only pitch in blowouts. Unreal
Not hard to see that disaster in the making  
xman : 4/18/2014 10:16 pm : link
Joe is being stupid stubborn. This could get out of hand with one more batter.

I don't think Warren and Phelps are "shit bags," more like moderately talented bulldogs, but your point is well taken. Both the starting rotation and the relief rotation are a little upside down right now. We will see.
can't let this game get away from us here  
RasputinPrime : 4/18/2014 10:26 pm : link
score some freakin runs here.
I do think  
MookGiants : 4/18/2014 10:28 pm : link
Phelps is a shit bag. He's got mediocre and pretty much should be just a long reliever.

Warren is OK, but exactly what has he done to get the nod for these big spots that Betances hasn't? Joe wont give betances a shot in a big spot, its infuriating. He's got awesome stuff, see what he can do
I think both are serviceable relievers  
RasputinPrime : 4/18/2014 10:37 pm : link
who can spot start. I don't think either one has much business pitching for us to hold a lead in the 7th-9th.

Sean Rodriguez...

8-5
Joe showed 'em  
xman : 4/18/2014 10:39 pm : link
tonight.
So now Joe is going to burn  
xman : 4/18/2014 10:41 pm : link
some arms.
8 2 out runs vs. one of the worst offenses in the AL  
Giants11 : 4/18/2014 10:43 pm : link
way to close out innings. I know its early and we've been playing well, but you hate to lose games like this.
Bull pen is getting spanked tonight

9-5  
RasputinPrime : 4/18/2014 10:45 pm : link
some nights you just let out a collective dump. They are rubbing it all over their faces now.
I love it  
Giants11 : 4/18/2014 10:45 pm : link
Relievers come in and pitch like garbage missing spots all night and failing to finish of lousy hitters...but it's Joe's fault...9 2 out runs eeeesh
hint:  
RasputinPrime : 4/18/2014 10:46 pm : link
when each reliever gets spanked it isn't on the manager.

Good plunk there Mr. Cabral. Ellsbury better be ready.
a little wild there Cabral?  
RasputinPrime : 4/18/2014 10:48 pm : link
hits back to back players.

Betances may allow a runner Mook. Joe can't let him pitch. C'mon now.
it's not Joe's fault  
MookGiants : 4/18/2014 10:49 pm : link
but he needs to give Betances a shot. You don't know if he can do it unless you actually give him a chance, and he refuses to do that
how many innings did Betances just pitch?  
RasputinPrime : 4/18/2014 10:50 pm : link
right. Stop making this a bigger issue than it is.
He can't pitch  
MookGiants : 4/18/2014 10:50 pm : link
tonight because Joe had him pitching two innings in a blowout last night.
