there we go Pedroia

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 7:32 pm : link

good baserunning, lets bring him in

that swing and a miss by shrek

sinctybldh : 4/22/2014 7:35 pm : link

just made my night.

which homeless player

sinctybldh : 4/22/2014 7:36 pm : link

is batting now

I'll never understand the Yankee anti-facial hair bias

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 7:38 pm : link

Napoli is up, and one of the few hot hitters on the team right now

Tanaka

sinctybldh : 4/22/2014 7:39 pm : link

2 straight k's. Very nice start.

That splitter

MookGiants : 4/22/2014 7:39 pm : link

is deadly

Nice

Phil in LA : 4/22/2014 7:39 pm : link

Tanaka was 94 and 95 with his four seamers. Must be a warm night.

is it too early

Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/22/2014 7:40 pm : link

to be completely sold on the guy?

another runner stranded

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 7:41 pm : link

joy. If his splitter keeps running like that it's going to be a long night.

a well groomed person

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 7:41 pm : link

is a reflection of the person(s) they represent. I'm glad the Sox have no problem with wearing their jock straps on the outside of their uniforms. It makes for a more accurate and compelling narrative.

Phil in LA : 4/22/2014 7:41 pm : link

he's got stuff, pitch ability and composure. What else could you want?

i am just thankful

sinctybldh : 4/22/2014 7:41 pm : link

that the yankees got him. imagine this team without nova and tanaka? we would be f'd.

Ichiro has found the fountain of youth,

sinctybldh : 4/22/2014 7:42 pm : link

i need to know where it is.

Paulie's nephew had another HR tonight for Charleston...

Dunedin81 : 4/22/2014 7:43 pm : link

very much a feast or famine player. If he has Paulie's temper I'd hate to be a water cooler in the Riverdogs dugout, considering how much he strikes out.

oh fer fucks sake

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 7:43 pm : link

even Roberts gets on? I need a drink.

that was brian roberts that got a hit?

sinctybldh : 4/22/2014 7:43 pm : link

wow

this team

Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/22/2014 7:44 pm : link

would be in deeep shit without Tanaka.

I hope Masahiro keeps it up, I'm liking what I'm seeing.

I can live with him striking out

sinctybldh : 4/22/2014 7:45 pm : link

I cannot live with him not walking. Not sure why this guy was rated so high on draft lists.

let's break it open

Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/22/2014 7:45 pm : link

hmmm the guy in left field

sinctybldh : 4/22/2014 7:46 pm : link

looks like the guy tanaka just k'd.

Ellsbury lifts it to the track in LF

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 7:46 pm : link

aka 249ft from home plate.

You're seeing a little of it this year...

Dunedin81 : 4/22/2014 7:48 pm : link

in the speed/power combo. But yeah, the lack of patience is really limiting. For O'Brien too, but with his power it may be forgivable.

tight zone

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 7:49 pm : link

and he walked em loaded, this is going to get ugly

i am not a fan of players

sinctybldh : 4/22/2014 7:49 pm : link

that have a combination of not waling and k'ing too much. to me those aren't yankee type players. i would rather field a team of all bernie williams in his prime then players like o'brien.

those were both balls

MookGiants : 4/22/2014 7:49 pm : link

but he has been calling them strikes most of the game so far. That's probably what annoys Lester, the 2-2 pitch was a strike a few other times

Lester looks like

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 7:50 pm : link

Jeter just took a dump in his mouth.

It's called a strike zone John. Unlike the Yankees universe, it is not infinite.

holy shit he escapes

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 7:50 pm : link

great turn by Pedroia

damnit

MookGiants : 4/22/2014 7:50 pm : link

hit it right on the nose but right at the 3rd basemen, shit. Really could have done damage there

yea the strike zone is

Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/22/2014 7:51 pm : link

a little weird tonight.

Yup, Lester has a fair gripe, they were balls but Tanaka got a couple of those

wow does Lester get lucky

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 7:51 pm : link

Beltran smashes it into a DP. Frack.

ugh

Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/22/2014 7:52 pm : link

Time Tanakum out

the worst strike zones are the inconsistent ones

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 7:52 pm : link

I've got no problem with calling it tight, but when four pitches are to the same spot and two are balls and two are strikes that's shit.

Lester

MookGiants : 4/22/2014 7:52 pm : link

also got a couple of those before that AB. Both guys were getting a wide zone until the Jeter AB

sin

Dunedin81 : 4/22/2014 7:54 pm : link

O'Brien isn't really a free-swinger, he does take walks and he works counts. Just not as many walks as you'd like. He's also not a dead pull hitter, he has power to all fields so he should post a respectable BA. If you can get a .280/.340/.450-.500 line out of the guy you'd absolutely take it.

if he can do that in the majors that is fine

sinctybldh : 4/22/2014 7:57 pm : link

just not sure he will do as well as what u just posted. i think i would be surprised if he did.

O'Brien

Phil in LA : 4/22/2014 7:59 pm : link

will probably refine a bit more. The beginning of the year has been wort of a heat check for him.

I have no problem

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 7:59 pm : link

with inconsistent strike zones that favor the Yankees. In fact, i'm quite in favor of them.

watch, now Lester will retire like 14 in a row

Greg from LI : 4/22/2014 8:02 pm : link

They do this against him all the time - have him on the ropes early and then nothing

Or, maybe not. Hustle, Fonzie, jeez!

pull

MookGiants : 4/22/2014 8:02 pm : link

Soriano out of the game now. No fucking excuse for him to be on 2nd base

Lester getting hit hard tonight

Tittle 9 20 64 : 4/22/2014 8:02 pm : link

...

Soriano needs to stop

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 8:03 pm : link

Cano'ing. He should have had a triple.

Yup that's criminal. Soriano should have been standing on 3rd

teix

sinctybldh : 4/22/2014 8:03 pm : link

rbi double!

RBI double Teix

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 8:04 pm : link

3-0

What was that idiot fan thinking? They sure make them special at Fenway.

Lester doesn't have much tonight

MookGiants : 4/22/2014 8:05 pm : link

he's lucky it's only 4-0

damn

WeatherMan : 4/22/2014 8:05 pm : link

this is not Lester's night.

RBI double McCann

RasputinPrime : 4/22/2014 8:06 pm : link

because he CAN CAN CAN!

I think Lester is going to cry.

4-0

Baseball is such a funny game

mfsd : 4/22/2014 8:06 pm : link

last inning Beltran hits a rocket with 2 on, that turns into a double play

This inning, Tex hits a little bloop for an RBI double

Teix!
