Yanks!

A current Yankee starter

Phil in LA : 4/22/2014 5:01 pm : link

vs. a Future Yankee starter;)

for the non-locals, the game is being carried

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 5:02 pm : link

tonight on MLB Network. Interested to get a first live look at Tanaka, should be a good matchup as Lester has had a very strong start to the season.

bite your tongue Phil!

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 5:03 pm : link

The increasing likelihood of that scenario is going to bother the hell out of me the longer he goes without a contract extension.

Ichiro gets the nod over Gardy in the OF

mfsd : 4/22/2014 5:04 pm : link

Ichiro is having better than expected season so far, and he's hit Lester well in his career

I'm gonna go out on a limb

Exit 172 : 4/22/2014 5:09 pm : link

and predict that the Sox will throw at the Yanks at some point in this series.

I'll also go out on another limb and predict that spring will be followed by summer.

Over/under on number of fastballs that hit Jeter on the hand this series has to be 2

Oh come on now

BigBlueShock : 4/22/2014 5:38 pm : link

this is the lovable, small market, disadvantaged gamers, that you're talking about here. They wouldn't intentionally throw at anyone, just ask BSPN, they'll tell ya

just for that

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 5:41 pm : link

Lackey's going to plunk one tomorrow in your honor Shock *grin*

Haha

BigBlueShock : 4/22/2014 5:43 pm : link

I'm honored, WM

speaking of plunking

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 5:50 pm : link

anyone have a guess at why Carlos Gomez has lost his mind?

given that a few guys on the Pirates

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 5:57 pm : link

had been doing the same thing in games prior and the Brewers let it slide, then a rookie calls out Gomez (who is known to be, well, volatile) for the same thing even after he hauled ass and got to 3rd clean on the play... dude blew his stack. The real asshole in the fracas was the backup catcher, straight up sucker punched a guy in the face.

i'm wondering

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 6:02 pm : link

whether the additional 20 or so pounds of muscle Gomez has added have anything to do with his volatile personality. He went from being a speedster with no pop to a legit 5 tool talent.

Nuno

sinctybldh : 4/22/2014 6:05 pm : link

has officially been named as the Yankees number 5 starter.

that's no shock, at least IMO.

So if Nuno is the #5, Tanaka must be the #1, since we are Tanaka-Pineda-CC-Kuroda-Nuno at the moment. :-)

"officially"

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 6:09 pm : link

don't mean Vidal.

I'll hope he can stick but man he has zero room for error.

he does share a locker room with a known lying user

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 6:09 pm : link

ain't the first time he's incited a brawl, video of a scrap with the Braves in the link.

Gerritt Cole can eat a dick as far as I'm concerned

Greg from LI : 4/22/2014 6:18 pm : link

On a totally different note

sinctybldh : 4/22/2014 6:26 pm : link

has anyone seen what Kevin Towers has done to the Arizona Diamondbacks? That team was an up and coming team before he took over. It is amazing the amount of talent he has given away as a general manager of the Dbacks. He traded Justin Upton, Jarrod Parker, Trevor Bauer, Eaton, Skaggs, and Davidson. Their system isn't very good either. I wonder how he manages to keep his job. The team looks horrible this season with a very poor immediate future.

This is a big game

PaulN : 4/22/2014 6:31 pm : link

On a few levels, but the biggest is how will Tanaka match up against the Red Sox, plus, can he then match up against Lester, the Yankee killer. It is always a huge series when the Yanks play the Red Sox. But the other thing is Ellsbury's return to Fenway, how will he do against his former team, we know how the fans will react to him, can he use it to motivate himself.

If Tanaka goes out tonight

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 6:34 pm : link

and takes them down there is going to be an explosion of Tanakadom.

Now to try to finish work so I can enjoy the fireworks...

I hope they give Ellsbury a good cheer at introductions

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 6:35 pm : link

he was a big part in winning two titles. If he does anything at the dish though, then give him what for.

big start for Tanaka

Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/22/2014 6:42 pm : link

would love another 7+ IP 2 ER 8 K type of start.

He is eventually going to get lit up, I'd hate it if the first time came in Fenway.

Pierzynski

Rob in NYC : 4/22/2014 6:51 pm : link

Really fits in that lineup - sort of the icing on top of a cake of unlikeable douches.

they needed a one year placeholder at C

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 6:53 pm : link

Christian Vazquez should be ready to take the spot next year, kid has a cannon for an arm behind the plate.

vazquez all field

sinctybldh : 4/22/2014 6:57 pm : link

no hit catcher. if his bat doesn't catch up he could end up as a backup catcher.

he's not going to be mashing at the plate

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 7:06 pm : link

but he's hitting for average better last season and has continued that thus far this spring. We've got Swihart already up to AA for the offensive catcher in the system.

what a crock of shit

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 7:13 pm : link

fan interferes and takes a 3B/HR from Ellsbury?

dipshit fan

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 7:13 pm : link

security is going to escort him from the premises.

finally

MookGiants : 4/22/2014 7:14 pm : link

umpires use their fucking brain and put the runner where they actually should be instead of just blindly calling it a double.

If they used their heads in 2004 on Tony Clark's double where Sierra could have crawled home that collapse never happens

Should be a triple

NYerInMA : 4/22/2014 7:14 pm : link

Stupid Bruins' fan, what do you expect?

there needs to be a rule change

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 7:14 pm : link

for fan interference behind the OF fence to ensure they get a triple. I'm fine with side-line interference resulting in a double but this is ridiculous.

and already in the hole

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 7:15 pm : link

fucking hell.

wow

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 7:15 pm : link

common sense prevails. Amen.

RBI Jeter

1-0

SUCK IT Lester

what in the flying fuck

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 7:16 pm : link

defense, get some... ugh.

nice

MookGiants : 4/22/2014 7:16 pm : link

good base running from Jeter

atta boy Cap

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 7:17 pm : link

ahem

SUCK IT Lester.

2-0

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 7:18 pm : link

must be a Tuesday.

11 game hitting streak for the Cap

Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/22/2014 7:18 pm : link

finally breaks out the curve

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 7:18 pm : link

get an out Jon, lets not have this get out of hand early

Albert Pujols with HR #499

Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/22/2014 7:20 pm : link

he has looked really good of late.

more runs

sinctybldh : 4/22/2014 7:20 pm : link

yanks

glad that one died in left

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 7:26 pm : link

ugly inning.

Solarte just missed that one

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 7:27 pm : link

he is going to like the Monster.

made Lester work

Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/22/2014 7:27 pm : link

27 pitches in the 1st for him.

i totally

MookGiants : 4/22/2014 7:28 pm : link

thought he at least hit that ball off the ball, instead it was a lazy short fly ball. Odd

Nice to give Tanaka a 2 spot

mfsd : 4/22/2014 7:28 pm : link

to work with. But that inning could have been bigger

where did this guy Solarte come from?

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 7:29 pm : link

Looks like quite the find thus far.

There were some subdued boos for Ellsbury

mfsd : 4/22/2014 7:29 pm : link

but also looked like plenty of fans gave him a nice round of applause, good for them

Ellsbury with a great

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 7:31 pm : link

catch.

Of course he's getting booed. Only in Boston.
