NFT: Yankees vs Rays game 2

nygnyy274 : 7/4/2015 1:24 pm
Happy 4th of July. Sounds like awful announcers calling this game, we have to hear Rays announcer Brian Anderson kiss the Rays ass for 3 hours
1-0 Yankees

that favors the Rays..........

those caps. Pineda inconsistent so far.
So far so good for Pineda...  
Dunedin81 : 7/4/2015 2:28 pm : link
but it'd be nice if the offense could give him more than two runs to work with.

You should be thankful that you don't have to listen to him on EVERY Yanks/Rays game, as I do.
Pineda is dealing today  
ThreePoints : 7/4/2015 2:56 pm : link
Wow.
Looked like he was laboring a bit early...  
Dunedin81 : 7/4/2015 2:58 pm : link
thought he might struggle to get through six. Length is very important after the bullpen did yeoman's work last night.
The vaunted extreme shift  
BigBlueShock : 7/4/2015 3:16 pm : link
a routine pop up leads to a double. And, while the infield is shifted for him to pull it, the outfield is shifted for him to hit it the other way.

Talk about over thinking things.

Great today. Offense made karns look like Cy young after the first inning

I don't mind Dewayne Staats when I hear his voice it reminds me of the early 90s Yankee games on msg
Shit  
illmatic : 7/4/2015 3:38 pm : link
Betances gives up a 2 run HR in the 9th. Now we're tied at 2. I'll put this on the anemic offense as much as anything.
Ugh  
BigBlueShock : 7/4/2015 3:38 pm : link
Tie game. Betances not sharp
Girardi  
MookGiants : 7/4/2015 3:39 pm : link
for some unknown reason doesn't want to let anyone get through an 8th inning and continues to put Betances out there for more than 3 outs and gets burned today.

Why couldn't Wilson pitch to Longoria? Longoria is a decent hitter, nothing more. You don't need to bring Betances in for 4 outs to face him
Betances

blows it again.
Offense gave the pitching  
Kyle in NY : 7/4/2015 3:39 pm : link
no margin for error. Shame
My friend just told me that  
DG : 7/4/2015 3:40 pm : link
Longoria (along with Joey Bats) has hit more homers at Yankee Stadium the last 5 seasons than any other player (Yankees included.) Not verified though.
Souza got lucky

Betances doesn't normally give up HRs

Again?
Sure as hell can't blame Betances...  
Dunedin81 : 7/4/2015 3:44 pm : link
but you can blame an anemic offense that scores no runs from the 2nd inning on.

Your friend needs to lay off the crack.
Why is it always some piece of shit who gives the Yankees trouble?  
Greg from LI : 7/4/2015 3:46 pm : link
John Phillips fucking Sousa.....I swear, if I were playing the Yankees I'd put my AAA team's lineup out there to maximize my chances. James Lonely is a rancid pile of festering garbage facing any other team, but he always kills the Yankees.
Tex doubles through that bullshit shift  
dpinzow : 7/4/2015 3:47 pm : link
to lead off the bottom of the 9th
Ha ha  
MookGiants : 7/4/2015 3:53 pm : link
what the fuck was that from the Rays?

Great hustle from Pirela
Yanks walk off again!  
dpinzow : 7/4/2015 3:53 pm : link
Chris Young walks...Flores gets the bunt down and Boxberger throws it to 1st wildly. Pirela, the pinch runner, scores from 2nd
Woo  
illmatic : 7/4/2015 3:53 pm : link
Another walk off. Came off an error but I'll take it. Nice at bats there.
Awesome stuff  
Kyle in NY : 7/4/2015 3:56 pm : link
Never get tired of watching the guys go nuts after a walk off win. That's fun.
Walk off  
nygnyy274 : 7/4/2015 3:57 pm : link
Heads up play by Pirea
A binder move comes up roses...  
Dunedin81 : 7/4/2015 3:57 pm : link
that was actually kinda ballsy, because it was subbing Teix for defensive liability and a light bat if it went to extras
Yankees have

deserves to still be here. George may have fired him but it would have been a dumb decision.

Cashman is the one that deserves to be canned.
Girardi  
BigBlueShock : 7/4/2015 5:10 pm : link
absolutely deserves to still be here. He's done a tremendous job with the hand he's been dealt. He has his quirks that drive me insane, but the positive far outweigh the negative.

That being said, George would have fired him a couple of different times by now. Death does strange things to people's legacies. People forget about the "bad" George and only remember the "good" George.
Without a doubt  
TheBigCat : 7/4/2015 6:43 pm : link
George was an absolute Maniac, but he was our Maniac and the Pinstripes meant everything, Drew would have been lambasted into being a solid hitter or so embarrassed he would have to take all the mirrors out of his house. But chances are he never let's "Cano a don't you know" go.
Surprised  
GruningsOnTheHill : 7/4/2015 8:38 pm : link
It was a great bunt by Flores, considering that the 1B and 3B were running in with the pitch. The ball didn't get all that far away from the second baseman covering 1st, and I thought Pirela would be out by 10 feet. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but on the last replay (Rays feed, at least) you could see that Young was standing on 2B with the SS right behind him as the throw went home: the entire left side of the infield was vacant. Fortunately it's all academic, but if Pirela had been out at home, Young's lack of awareness would have resulted in winning run on 2B instead of 3B.

Speaking of the Rays feed, I agree with the guys above--these are the worst announcers in all of sport.

Back to back walk-off wins. Lets hopefully get the sweep tomorrow.
The pining for GS has to stop!  
BrianLeonard23 : 7/5/2015 10:09 am : link
The man did absolutely wonderful things for the franchise its very well documented, along with many no so great things.

But he had been in poor health for years and had not had anything to do with running the team for a very long time. George was a figurehead owner.

If he was still around now he would not be firing his staff or making any player moves, or issuing crazy press releases about his displeasure with the teams performance. He died 5 years ago and hadn't done any of that for at least the 5 years prior.

Most Yankee fans can agree we are by no means enamored by what his sons, Levine, or cashman have been running the team. But 90 year old GSIII wouldn't have anything to do with it. Sorry guys.

RIP Boss

Your correct. However I think most fans just comment like myself that When George was in his prime guys like Drew would have been lambasted in the press if not DFA'D.
