It's early in the season, but the umpires have been more inconsistent than usual. These strike zones are impossible to interpret.

Cano hits a bases clearing double.

C'mon Cano! Don't strike out pathetically this time around. You're better than that.

SoCal Pinstriper
04-08-08, 03:49 PM
Shoetop strike there.
Ump is screaming at Girardi to relax. But that strike to Cano was a ball to Damon about 10 seconds ago.

This is easy for you.

Ohhhhh that was just barely foul. And wasn't that 1-0 pitch a ball just last AB?

Cano got a good pitch to hit, but swings and Ks. At least he didn't chase one.

At least we got one more run outta that.

I didn't realize it was possible to strike out against Bannister two times in a row.
Cano is atrocious with the bases loaded.

I do think we need someone to fill in for Bowa to watch out for Cano.
THEBOSS84

Alright, atleast we took the lead and got his pitch count over 50 through 2.
Ughhh cano!!! That was such an entertaining inning

jeterismyhomeboy
04-08-08, 03:53 PM
You know, a lot of people have said that Robbie will be a top hitter, and I don't deny it, but while I really feel like he will take the league by storm, I don't think he's mature enough to hit as high in the order as some think.
Anyway, let's go Phil! And throw strikes!

Ugh, error for Bobby. Essentially a leadoff double. C'mon Phil, neutralize it.

Bad error there.
Yankee-killer Ross Gload is up.

I have a bad feeling this is going to be a 4+ hour slugfest. Come on Phil!

Ross Gload must be kept off the bases.

3-1, as Hughes barely beats Gload to first. Runner to third. One down.
JavyVazquezIsSick

That single was on a 89 MPH fastball
Wow. Gload was probably safe there. Bad flip by Giambi.
Edit: on second viewing, Hughes barely beat him.

Hughes is in the high 80s with his FB according to Gameday - can anyone watching the game confirm?

Giambi is an adventure at 1B.
Neither pitcher is long for this game. Hughes is at 29 pitches with one out in the second.
That was wayyyy too close for my comfort
Soriambi

Maybe they share my dream?
That Farns will pitch today?
fredgmuggs

It's nice to see the ballpark full again at Kansas City. It's just like the old days of Amos Otis, Hal, McCrea and George Brett. It's a great a ballpark.

have you watched every game this season? Giambi has actually played solid first base this year. He made a number of great scoops to save errors, and has made some good throws and reactionary catches.
Rolays are being really aggressive on the bases today.

Hi re Robbie, I think he is either carrying his errors into his hitting or his hitting into his fielding. I think he needs Larry Bowa!!!

At least it's an unearned run.According to stat tracker it's earned.

It's gotta be unearned. Gordon would never have been on third with 1 out if it weren't for the one base error..no?

If they're not thrill junkies, why do they get so into arguments with managers and players?
Betemit can't hold the throw from Posada and he steals second. Might be an E-6, too.

Probably so that I could watch it. Seriously, though, it's probably because a night game brings in a bigger crowd than a day game at this time of year.

By the way, the Royals probably aren't happy that they have to play the Yanks in their home opener. The only time they get really nice crowds is when the Yanks are in town, probably when the Sox are in town, and probably on Opening Day no matter who they're playing. I'm sure they would have rather played Tampa Bay or someone this series, and then the Yanks next.

4 pitch walk.
This is the day that the kids get the crap kicked out of them, apparently.
Oh Cano, why couldn't you have gotten a hit. Just a teeny-tiny single...

Just finally been able to settle into the game.
What is/was wrong with Hughes?

Probably so that I could watch it. Seriously, though, it's probably because a night game brings in a bigger crowd than a day game at this time of year.Kay was complaining there was only 41,000 paid last night. I remember when 41,000 was a Sunday Ball Day Doubleheader crowd and the Scooter gushed about it. Things have certainly changed.

Bases loaded.
Can't watch.
Get that curve, curving in the right place.
It doesn't help that this ump sucks.

don't blame cano for betemit not handling a throw at 2nd. or phil not throwing strikes (although you can blame the ump for this kind of)

By the way, the Royals probably aren't happy that they have to play the Yanks in their home opener. The only time they get really nice crowds is when the Yanks are in town, probably when the Sox are in town, and probably on Opening Day no matter who they're playing. I'm sure they would have rather played Tampa Bay or someone this series, and then the Yanks next.
I don't know how you do it but I pray for anyone who has to have a face to face conversation with you.

Finally a strike
hmmm. So now the Royals have bases loaded with 2 outs just like we did. Let's see what THEY do with it.

FINALLY the ump calls a strike.

true but hughes flew in a day early and should be a little sharper than this. I'm chalking Hughes performance up to "it's justr what you get with young pitchers."
I think it is safe to say that my expectations for Phil/IPK are very low relative to most of tis board. Basicly, if Phil makes all his starts this year, I'll be pretty satisfied. I want him to stay healthy, and learn how to be a big league starter.
That kid can stop whistling any time.

if the ump didnt call that 2-1 pitch a strike I am sure we would see Girardi get ejected this inning.

Just your thought processes. It cracks me up. Go read your own post again. :lol:

Wow, he's really getting smacked around out there. If either of them pitch more than four innings, I will be amazed.
Hughes should learn a circle change.

04-08-08, 04:10 PM
Come on, just put him away.

he swung at ball 4, thank god

Thanks, Betemit. Made Hughes throw an extra 20 pitches.

Thank goodness Teahen couldn't check his swing or that would have been ball 4!

Big out there for Hughes.
Headed to the 3rd, it's 2-2 now.
No harm no foul...lets get some runs

Hugh strike out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Toaderly
04-08-08, 04:11 PM
Hughes threw about 15 more pitches than he needed to that inning.

I'm worried about Hughes.
Soriambi
04-08-08, 04:11 PM
Teahen chases and helps Hughes out. Phew. 2-2 through two, and it looks like Hans isn't getting his under three hour game today.
Ohhhhh, I was about to have a heart attack.

jeterismyhomeboy
04-08-08, 04:11 PM
YES!
Okay, just 1 run. Now, Yankee offense, destroy Bannister with like, fifteen runs so we can get Phil out of there. And why is there no sound?
Snatch Catch
04-08-08, 04:11 PM
57 pitches through 2 innings for Phil.
YankeeSass
04-08-08, 04:11 PM
Wow. Thank the lord he swung at that.
THEBOSS84
04-08-08, 04:11 PM
And I thought we were in good shape since Bannister threw 54 pitches through 2...Phil threw 56 through 2...

Ohlendorf can eat three innings if need be.

I'm not.
That inning was screwed up by about 5 different people. However, we'll be lucky to get 5 out of him today.
Soriambi
04-08-08, 04:12 PM
57 pitches through 2 innings for Phil.
It'd be tremendous if he manages to go five.

04-08-08, 04:12 PM
Phil: "I'll see your 54 pitches thru 2 innings and raise you 2" :(

From the comments I read so far, I take it the strike zone is microscopic?

It looked like he swung at ball 4, but I wonder what this ump would have called?
StatenIslandYankee
04-08-08, 04:13 PM
Bullpen will be needed today unless Phil cruises for 3 innings.
jimmykey2

No.
It's just that the knee high strike is only sometimes called a strike.
CoyoteYankee
04-08-08, 04:14 PM
Yankees need a semi-long inning to give Phil a little breather.

There ya go Bobby.
I don't know if I can make this point without being considered combative and get harrassed on this board but...
if Hughes is as good as everyone around here says, shouldn't he breeze through this lineup?
Keep in mind, I'm certainly rooting for him but I guess I don't see the spark that everyone else does.
Bobay! Alright now A-Rod, you're due for another homer off Bannister.
