interesting that Murphy's in again -

Del Shofner : 8/1/2015 7:02 pm : link

that's a platoon, not a rest.

tommorow is a day game

arniefez : 8/1/2015 7:07 pm : link

so Murphy would get one of these games and LH tonight so it's tonight. I think it's smart fo Girardi to keep McCann fresh. It's what Girardi does best. In game management not so much. But resting the older guys he's got that down.

That makes sense.

The White Sox brought back their old school uniforms

those are nice

not much of a top of the first -

K, weak grounder, K.

Mitchell getting hit hard early

dpinzow : 8/1/2015 7:22 pm : link

line drive hit by Eaton
line drive out to 2nd
sharp double down the line by Abreu

Has to settle down

Mitchell

RasputinPrime : 8/1/2015 7:22 pm : link

getting hit pretty hard.

1-0 bottom first.

Abreu's hit was in the same place

section125 : 8/1/2015 7:23 pm : link

the ump called strike 3 on ARod and ball one on Abreu.

And he's getting

section125 : 8/1/2015 7:24 pm : link

squeezed - quite a bit.

Mitchell getting squeezed

dpinzow : 8/1/2015 7:24 pm : link

Danks got a wide strike zone against ARod and Mitchell isn't getting that corner

Mitchell gets a double play grounder

dpinzow : 8/1/2015 7:26 pm : link

to get out of it. Hopefully he settles down and the ump stops squeezing him (or starts squeezing Danks to even out the strike zones)

Danks has some good

section125 : 8/1/2015 7:31 pm : link

stuff tonight.

2nd straight inning that Danks gets an inside pitch

dpinzow : 8/1/2015 7:33 pm : link

for called strike 3. Danks is pretty nasty tonight but the pitch to K ARod in the 1st and that one to Headley are not strikes

....

Meredith is the Juggernaut

so I am late catching on to this, but Adam LaRoche, the son of

Del Shofner : 8/1/2015 7:38 pm : link

Dave LaRoche, came in last night and threw eephus pitches like his dad used to? That has to be an MLB record of some kind.

How did Alexei Ramirez hit that out?

dpinzow : 8/1/2015 7:39 pm : link

That was a good fastball high and in on the hands. He got lucky

Mitchell getting tattoo'd

Yes he is. Even on pitches that look to be in good places. Doesn't say much about his movement.

Mitchell's command is very shaky

dpinzow : 8/1/2015 7:45 pm : link

Not hitting the spots Murphy wants him to hit. Pitches intended to be inside are going over the middle

Yanks have a threat in the 3rd

dpinzow : 8/1/2015 7:51 pm : link

Murphy double, Ryan seeing eye single. Have to take advantage because Danks looks tough and they might not get a lot of chances

Didi just misses a HR but it's a sac fly.

Del Shofner : 8/1/2015 7:52 pm : link

2-1.

Avisail Garcia robs Didi of a 3 run HR

dpinzow : 8/1/2015 7:53 pm : link

only a sac fly. Yanks a little unfortunate there

Didi is

section125 : 8/1/2015 7:54 pm : link

swinging well.

Ellsbury completely lost

Del Shofner : 8/1/2015 7:54 pm : link

at the moment.

What a play by Garcia

micky : 8/1/2015 7:54 pm : link

.

Ump is helping Danks

section125 : 8/1/2015 7:55 pm : link

calling those low pitches as strikes forcing Yankees to swing at crap.

Ellsbury tried to play cricket

dpinzow : 8/1/2015 7:56 pm : link

instead of baseball and swung at one he knew was bouncing in the dirt. He's not seeing Danks at all

Bottom of the order

section125 : 8/1/2015 8:12 pm : link

hitting Danks, top looks overmatched.

Pity that Mitchell is on a 75 pitch count

dpinzow : 8/1/2015 8:27 pm : link

because he was settling in that inning. Nasty breaking stuff

Danks got an ankle-high strike 3

dpinzow : 8/1/2015 8:31 pm : link

on Ryan. That makes three questionable punchouts (ARod in the 1st, Headley in the 2nd, and this one)

I don't normally like to get on the umps

BigBlueShock : 8/1/2015 8:41 pm : link

but this guys low strike is out of control. That pitch to Garder was damn near in the dirt. And this idea about consistency is garbage too. There is nothing they can do with that pitch. It's too damn low. So, they know he'll call it a strike, but, it's not a strike, and if they swing, they will do nothing with it.

This ump is helping Danks a lot. That low ball he's calling a strike makes the change up he's throwing very effective because they have to swing what a really balls.

3-1 sox

micky : 8/1/2015 8:45 pm : link

Nice throw from right

Not a bad outing.

section125 : 8/1/2015 8:45 pm : link

Not good either.

The pitch plots make Ron Kulpa look like an idiot

dpinzow : 8/1/2015 8:47 pm : link

Lots of low strikes off the inside corner helping Danks

Melky takes Diego Moreno yard to deep center

dpinzow : 8/1/2015 8:50 pm : link

whelp, it's 6-1 and the strike zones really don't matter now

The melkman puts it at 6-1

So, if I'm reading that chart right, Yankee pitching hasn't gotten one single call off the plate, while Danks has several
