5/16 - Rangers vs. Yankees - Sea Level looks to stop the 2 game losing tide

[Sam18]

2 runs may be enough with the awful lineup we have tonight

A-rod alone can change that. Have some faith.

[Mark19]

how was there an error on Damon?

[dabomb2045]

A-rod alone can change that. Have some faith.

I like Cano...but any lineup that has him hitting 5th is gonna have major problems scoring runs

[fredgmuggs]

What the eff just happened?!?

base hit and throwing error by Damon scored 2 runs

[Sam18]

I like Cano...but any lineup that has him hitting 5th is gonna have major problems scoring runs

He's hitting the ball well lately. His BA is gonna be useful because he's in a position to drive in runs.

[SheffRocks11]

2 runs may be enough with the awful lineup we have tonight

you read my mind...

[SoCal Pinstriper]

how was there an error on Damon?

His throw to third hit the runner in the back, and bounced away, allowing the run to score.

[daverave]

Koronka has very good numbers

[ICEBERG18]

What the hell is he swinging at?

[montyque]

Damon flailed at strike 3 there...

[Mark19]

His throw to third hit the runner in the back, and bounced away, allowing the run to score.

Ugh, because this team hasn't had enough bad luck

[dabomb2045]

He's hitting the ball well lately. His BA is gonna be useful because he's in a position to drive in runs.

Also doesnt help that Damon and Jeter are ice cold

[Yankees8185]

Damon has been horrible of late.

[Sam18]

His throw to third hit the runner in the back, and bounced away, allowing the run to score.

How long before Damon is demoted out of CF and Bernie is put back there because "he knows CF at Yankee Stadium better than anybody else"?

[CyYoung4Vazquez]

Columbus could beat this team

[SheffRocks11]

Johnny K's.

I would have liked to see Bubba tonight...

[montyque]

Our captain's here to pick us up. Let's go Alex!

[fredgmuggs]

How long before Damon is demoted out of CF and Bernie is put back there because "he knows CF at Yankee Stadium better than anybody else"?

hopefully, forever

[Jersey Yankee]

His throw to third hit the runner in the back, and bounced away, allowing the run to score.

Hitting a runner in the back is an error?

[SoCal Pinstriper]

Koronka has very good numbers

Being a flyball pitcher in Texas is bound to change that.

[CoyoteYankee]

You can always count on Jeter to get the party started!

[Sam18]

Overreactions!! Wooooo!!

[daverave]

leztieitup

[SheffRocks11]

Jeter Singles. C'mon A-rod.

[Jersey Yankee]

Our captain's here to pick us up. Let's go Alex!

So Alex is our new captain? Cap'n Crunch, perhaps?

[Mark19]

These next few weeks are going to be brutal. The Yanks current offense is better only than the Royals at the moment. Our pitching hasn't been very inspiring either. Torre has his heart set on ruining every outing by throwing in Sturtze or Erickson if the starter doesn't go 8.

[SheffRocks11]

leztieitup

okaysoundsgood

[ICEBERG18]

We have bad luck.

[dabomb2045]

ARod needs to carry this offense right now. Lets go Alex

[Darth_Takeo]

Outfield defense.

So that's how it looks.

[montyque]

Up yours, Mench!

[fredgmuggs]

I wish the Yankees made more plays like that.

[CyYoung4Vazquez]

Resigning Bernie was probably the worst off season move made by any team in baseball. I love the guy but he is not an everyday player.

[SheffRocks11]

So Alex is our new captain? Cap'n Crunch, perhaps?

I think he was referring to Jeter hitting the single...

[Mark19]

I wish we had an outfielder like that.

[montyque]

So Alex is our new captain? Cap'n Crunch, perhaps?

I meant "Yay, Jeter, our captain got a hit! Now, let's go, Alex Rodriguez, who is now coming to bat!"

[SoCal Pinstriper]

Hitting a runner in the back is an error?

Maybe the scorer thought that it was offline too. It was called an error.

Don't you have to account for the runner taking the extra base?

[dabomb2045]

I wish the Yankees made more plays like that.

Bernie wouldnt have come within 20 feet of that

[Sam18]

Resigning Bernie was probably the worst off season move made by any team in baseball. I love the guy but he is not an everyday player.

Everyday player? He's not even a AAA player at this point.

[Jersey Yankee]

Rodriguez flied out to deep right.

Swinging for the seats?

[knickfan23]

Never thought I would see the day where JoPo is batting 4th.

[Tifoso]

Rodriguez flied out to deep right.

Swinging for the seats?

Nope--awesome play by their man

[knickfan23]

These next few weeks are going to be brutal. The Yanks current offense is better only than the Royals at the moment. Our pitching hasn't been very inspiring either. Torre has his heart set on ruining every outing by throwing in Sturtze or Erickson if the starter doesn't go 8.

Its hard to make that claim when there are 2 Hall of Famers in the lineup.

[Sam18]

Never thought I would see the day where JoPo is batting 4th.

Like in 2003?

[Jersey Yankee]

Maybe the scorer thought that it was offline too. It was called an error.

Don't you have to account for the runner taking the extra base?

I never thought about that. I figured you throw to where the bag is, and when the runner gets there at the same time, then you haven't missed by much.

So the runner went home from 3B after being hit in the back by Damon's thrown ball?

[SheffRocks11]

swing the f'in bat!

[dabomb2045]

Its hard to make that claim when there are 2 Hall of Famers in the lineup.

Take a look at 6 thru 9.....it rivals that of a AAA lineup. And when Posada and Cano have to hit 4th and 5th....not good.

[Mark19]

Its hard to make that claim when there are 2 Hall of Famers in the lineup.

I must have missed the vote.

[Sam18]

I must have missed the vote.

Yeah cuz Jeter and A-rod are up for debate at this point.

[CoyoteYankee]

Maybe the scorer thought that it was offline too. It was called an error.

Don't you have to account for the runner taking the extra base?

Yes there has to be accountability for that run scoring somewhere. If the infielder never touched it then who else can the error go to but the one who threw it? It's a hard error to get but that's baseball!
