NFT: Yanks vs. Houston 8/19

Dunedin81 : 8/19/2014 8:21 pm

A couple minor league notes:

Nick Flammia þ@TYRadioGuy 1m

RHP @blail3 with his best start of the season for the @TampaYankees. 6 no-hit innings! 0 R, 0 H, 2 BB, 3 K. @Khaynes30 on in relief. 1-0, TY

Severino went 3 IP, 1 H 2 R 2 ER 1 BB 3 K, a walk and a 2-run HR.

As for the big club, the bats are predictably absent but the clock hasn't struck midnight for Capuano in pinstripes.

McCann with a bomb... Â

my two-week old heard McCann's homerun call and gave me a "what the ---- was that?" look.

has the Rusney Castillo sweepstakes come to a head?

Shockingly enough... Â

Dunedin81 : 8/19/2014 8:58 pm : link

the Yankees have told a scrap-heap starter to hold a two run lead and he has failed to do so.

Sources: #Tigers, #RedSox, #SFGiants still in mix for Rusney Castillo. #Cubs, #Yankees, #Phillies not expected to place high bid.

Either our brain trust does Â

dune69 : 8/19/2014 9:05 pm : link

not see the value that others will pay for Castillo or Hal has the pocket book closed.

That's possible... Â

Dunedin81 : 8/19/2014 9:07 pm : link

they may just not see him as a Puig/Cespedes class of talent.

There are two other Cubans who will be cleared soon Â

Phil in LA : 8/19/2014 9:08 pm : link

and the Yanks could like them better.

Duned, a late congrats on the kid Â

hope you're having fun. You're definitely among the best Yanks posters on this site and it's cool to see you still contribute while also having a new baby around.

Such an important 6 game homestand here before the game against KC. We have to go atleast 4-2 and really 5-1 should be the goal. Losing game 1 of this 6 game stretch would be brutal.

I appreciate it... Â

Dunedin81 : 8/19/2014 9:12 pm : link

I've definitely cut back, but if anything it just keeps me inside more.

games like this piss me off Â

RasputinPrime : 8/19/2014 9:13 pm : link

we should be pounding them but Warren's arm seems to have regressed and our bats just don't want to make the post-season.

Warren's spitting the Â

Phil in LA : 8/19/2014 9:14 pm : link

bit.

We started the season losing in Houston Â

dune69 : 8/19/2014 9:19 pm : link

and we haven't improved much over the season. What's left of our pitching staff has to be perfect because the offense never gives them much of a cushion.

Andujar with his 10th HR... Â

Dunedin81 : 8/19/2014 9:20 pm : link

good stuff. At his age his projection could be 20+.

umped Â

RasputinPrime : 8/19/2014 9:38 pm : link

Headley should just wheel around and crack him.

Pirela was 3-5... Â

Dunedin81 : 8/19/2014 10:14 pm : link

a 2B shy of the cycle. Pretty much single-handedly willed SWB to victory.

3-run bomb for Carter - Â

Del Shofner : 8/19/2014 10:30 pm : link

down 7-4.

thank you Carter Â

RasputinPrime : 8/19/2014 10:30 pm : link

7-4

bloody terrible. Thanks for the shitty umping all night long.

You could see that coming the hitter before Â

great job Robertson Â

B in ALB : 8/19/2014 10:32 pm : link

Guy has for fucking strikeouts and Robertson shits the bed. Carter has 30 home runs. How about you don't serve him a meatball?

First Beltran can't get a simple flyball. Now this.

Oh look, another hit.

This team fucking sucks.

Let D-Rob go to FA Â

Kyle in NY : 8/19/2014 10:32 pm : link

Betances is such a better pitcher at this point.

Brutal loss coming, awful pitching.

Yeah boo the guy who converted something like 20 saves in a row... Â

Dunedin81 : 8/19/2014 10:33 pm : link

fucking morons.

Not you guys... Â

Dunedin81 : 8/19/2014 10:33 pm : link

meant the fans at the stadium. But Robertson has been the least of our problems this year.

About Â

Gmen in 2012 : 8/19/2014 10:35 pm : link

To be 1-3 against this lousy Astros team this year. Awful!!!!!

Andujar a 3B away from the cycle Â
