Pineda (7-3, 3,39 ERA) has been consistently good all season, giving up three earned runs or fewer in 10 of his 12 starts. He is 1-1 with a 7.50 ERA in two career starts against the Angels, but they will be facing a different Pineda than they've seen in the past. Matt Shoemaker (6-3, 4.22 ERA) will start for the Angels, and set to face the Yankees for the third time in his career. He lost both previous starts, giving up six runs and 15 hits in 13 1/3 innings. |

| Things to know about this game: • Pineda notched 22 called strikes in his last start -- a 7-3 win over the Red Sox last Thursday night at Yankee Stadium -- with 14 of those coming on first-pitch fastballs to tie a career high. He worked seven innings, allowing a run on four hits while walking two and striking out eight. • Shoemaker defeated the mighty American League West-leading Astros, 9-4, last Friday night in Houston, allowing four runs on seven hits, walking one and striking out four in seven innings. He's allowed 14 runs and 34 hits in his last six starts over 36 1/3 innings. • Talk about a difference in two seasons. The Yankees were 31-31 last year after 62 games, in fourth place, 5 1/2 games out of first place in the AL East. |
I've mentioned that before - we're a different team on the road than at home, for whatever reasons.
We've made a couple mistakes the past two games - Carter the night before cost them.
It happens.
He's barely pitched, there just haven't been enough 9th inning opportunities. The downside of the defined closer role.
Good grief, it was the kids first career MLB game and he had a tough one and lost. You've already branded him a loser? Stop it.
Classic. He didn't watch and has never seen the kid pitch in his life. Knows absolutely NOTHING about him. Yet, calls him a loser. Twice.
Not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, is he?
A lot of the time.
It's a long season. Let's bury the A's in what should be a slugfest.

Didn't watch (too late for me), but why put in this loser into a tied game in the seventh? He has nothing as a pitcher -- or am I missing something? Anyway he proved to be a loser who lost this one for the Yankees.

What's also funny about the "loser" thing is that Herrera actually hadn't lost a game yet this year when they brought him up - at Trenton he was 7-0 with a 1.07 ERA.
Some "loser" ...
I will pay extra close attention to Torres, Frazier, Austin, Bird, Fowler and Wade.
