DC Gmen Fan : 5/24/2015 7:36 pm
Anyone care?
Was about to make a thread  
illmatic : 5/24/2015 7:42 pm : link
Didn't think anyone else would, haha. Yankees lineup:

1. Gardner LF
2. Headley 3B
3. Rodriguez DH
4. Tex 1B
5. McCann C
6. Jones RF
7. Young CF
8. Gregorius SS
9. Pirela 2B

Capuano on the mound and Jones in the lineup... ugh. At least get a win on Bernie Williams Day.

Have another pic.

I wish he was out there instead of Jones.
Thanks for the pics!

Bern Baby Bern-ie!
There's  
MookGiants : 5/24/2015 7:51 pm : link
only one Bernie Williams
I actually didn't know his last name was Figueroa.  
PetesHereNow : 5/24/2015 7:59 pm : link
Weird seeing it on the plaque.
Pirela boots a routine ground ball  
illmatic : 5/24/2015 8:13 pm : link
All that talk about how good this defense would be going into the season. lol
And then of course Fielder is up next  
illmatic : 5/24/2015 8:17 pm : link
they decide to pitch to him for some reason and he laces a double and gets the RBI. Awful throw home by Pirela there too.

I don't want to hear anything about Refsnyder's defense as a reason why he shouldn't be up. He can't be any worse than these guys defensively.
by august i have a feeling we will see  
viggie : 5/24/2015 8:39 pm : link
wholesale changes, ref, pirela, austin, ..maybe a taste of judge or williams in october. Stands are going to be empty by them. Nice going cheapskate Hal, keep peddling those hall of fame seats lol.

can austin be worse than beltran?
very possible  
MookGiants : 5/24/2015 9:13 pm : link
he's hitting .210 in AAA
Austin started very slowly...  
Dunedin81 : 5/24/2015 9:21 pm : link
Heathcott started fast, which is why he's in the bigs. Flores also got off to a good start and could be better than Beltran now, but they're reluctant to make that move.
i saw cashman is loosing stubborness with drew  
viggie : 5/24/2015 9:23 pm : link
i bet refsnyder is next. What else offensively does he have to prove at AAA?
Why is Young in CF over Gardner?  
illmatic : 5/24/2015 10:24 pm : link
Young can't play LF? Gardner would've had that ball. Now it's 4-2 because of that. Can't knock Girardi for much consider what he has to work with but not putting Gardner in center seems silly to me.
heathcott needs to stick  
RasputinPrime : 5/24/2015 10:43 pm : link
Flores appears to be the classic AAAA OFer and Austin isn't a good enough hitter to make the team without a position on D.

Heathcott needs to take advantage because Williams is inching back up and Judge is on the horizon. There is already basically no room. Thankfully for him Young is cooling off.
Pinch-hitting Drew for Pirela...  
Dunedin81 : 5/24/2015 10:48 pm : link
is vintage Girardi.
I don't think  
GruningsOnTheHill : 5/24/2015 11:31 pm : link
anyone expected this team to keep up a .650 winning percentage throughout the summer with their stop-gap pitching staff and with half the lineup batting .190, but who would have guessed when they were 21-12 two weeks ago that they'd be at .500 before they'd win their 23rd game?
this season  
MookGiants : 5/24/2015 11:54 pm : link
has gone south in a hurry. I don't see how they're going to stop the bleeding all that much, either.

Mets are garbage, as are the yankees
Swept by this garbage  
ODB13 : 5/25/2015 12:23 am : link
Rangers team and at home on Bernie Williams day. I saw the writing on the wall for this team after they lost 3 out of 4 in Tampa I said they would be under .500 by June well with the AL champs coming to town they will be under .500 in 15 hours. That good stretch they had was a fucking fluke, they will be a 4th place team when it's all said and done.

Where did you see that. I read just the opposite.

Now, in late-May, Drew is still scuffling at the plate and playing solid defense, and, for the first time, Cashman indicated Drew’s job may not be set in stone. “(Drew has) got rope, but if someone pushes his way into the mix, so be it,” said Cashman to Joel Sherman yesterday. “I am open to having Drew all year or someone else taking this if they can. I can’t predict what is going to happen.” - See more at: http://riveraveblues.com/#sthash.Od1KOCyp.dpuf

Hope it's sooner rather than later.
Does another player really have to do much  
illmatic : 5/25/2015 9:26 am : link
to "take it"? I'm practically taking the job at this point. I could probably work some walks and get a higher OBP.

And we're officially in the worst losing slump since 1995. I was wondering the other day if we've had a streak this bad since the 96 World Series. Kind of sad, really. I think the thing that baffles the hell out of me is how this offense routinely scores in the first inning and then does nothing for the rest of the game. How often it happens almost seems statistically impossible but they keep doing it. It must be a mental thing with the players, I guess. I have no idea how it happens so much.
Re: 51 in monument park  
BrianLeonard23 : 5/25/2015 2:13 pm : link
Looks like it's on the wall facing in, opposite all the others. Did they run out of space? They should've left more room when they built it knowing more numbers would be added relatively soon. Can 51 be seen from the field? I didn't see the unveiling or game.
