So is Montero the greatest defensive catcher off all-time? http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2012/6/8/3074319/jesus-montero-mariners-no-hitter-dodgers

Yuh oh.

Here’s 40 year old Andy Pettitte for you.

Cano: Most overrated baseball player ever

Could Cano really have turned a DP on that ball?  Think they would have been lucky to get one without an acrobatic recovery even if he’d gloved it.

If Cano gloves that ball it’s an easy DP.

TBS announcer:

“The Yankees have scored 41 more runs than they’ve allowed.  The Mets have 18 fewer.  What does it mean?  I don’t know.”

Just once I’d like to see a 3 run HR.

[3] Whatchoo complaining about ? He struck out the side. Heart of the order, too. 2, 3, 5. He’s got great stuff. #Fused

Or was it all of the baserunners between the 5 and the 2 coming up again that bugs you ?

Swisher is a fucking idiot!

[4]  Have you ever heard of Juan Pierre?

[9] Looked like he was losing it for a minute there.

It’s really hard to enjoy this kind of baseball.

[10] Swisher is a moron with a room temperature IQ. An amiable moron, but still a moron.

This team is an effing joke they’re like a guy who offers to fight his opponent with one hand tied behind his back

That smells like Girardi.  First Long gets Swisher not to walk, then Girardi sacrifices his power for a bunt “to get things going.”

Article in the LAT today pointing out that Lincecum’s ERA+ is 60.  Last time a pitcher was that bad for a full season was 1915.  Brian Sabean also sounded like complete moron.

I missed some what did Swisher do?  And yes he is an amiable moron.

According to the AA theory, Yanks are going to get shut out today.

[18] 2 on no out, Swisher bunted. Arod out at 3d.

[16] Yeah, except nobody knew the sign except Swisher ?

Captain Deepee !

20 OY.  How does this team win?  It would be bad enough if Swisher were a good bunter without power.

Captain Fantastic’s back.  I miss Captain April.

In all seriousness, when is such a tendency towards GIDP’s tolerated from a player with such a low SLG? I’d love to see where, say, Jeter’s last few seasons (yes, including the second half of last year) rank in terms of the ratio between GIDP rate and SLG. I can’t believe anyone is even close, certainly not anyone playing full time.

nix is the best hitter on this team.  cano is lazy.  the gardner delay is a cover up.  it’ll come out soon that he’s been abducted.

edit double post

Arod need Aroid

Arod’s power is all gone

I’ve been in Steamboat Springs all weekend (incidentally, where I’ll be living and working starting next week) so I’ve missed the games, but could Hughes be turning into a 2/3 before our eyes?

nix is the best hitter on this team.  cano is lazy.  the gardner delay is a cover up.  it’ll come out soon that he’s been abducted.

Huh. Totally forgot that Yogi was a Met. For 4 games.

At the game. If it makes you guys feel any better, Niese looks awful. 28 strikes, 22 balls right now. Pitching a shutout. Unbelievable. Really bad effort today. Terrible D and poor at-bats.

Pettitte pitching really good again.

Niese is really good. The Mets have a great rotation

No hitter through 4 for AJ Burnett.

If Cano turns that DP, we’re talking about a Pettitte gem right now.

Bad Teix in 5…4…3…2…

Such a shocker.

If you count a DP as -1 hits, are the Yankees legitimately below .000 BA with RISP in the last couple of weeks?  I think so.

A-Rod is having a bad year. He should be hitting second or sixth at this point. Granderson should be moved to fourth. This team will succeed or fail in the next three years based on Cano and Granderson.

This team really can’t effing score unless they go deep.

Let’s be grateful they can still score on home runs.

Did Jeter just get an infield double…

Jeter should have stayed on 1st.

Think Jeter would have made it, but the 3B coach probably thought, incorrectly, “Speedy runner on 3rd with Tex/Alex/Cano coming up, he’ll score.”

[42] It’s easier to get a hit on a weak grounder than a sharp one. If…you hit it weakly enough.

He’s crossed over the power gap. Let’s hope Alex does, too.

Baserunners for Grandy…

No way!

Yes, of course. RISP, single. 0 runs. Yessssss.

Teixeira! Less terrible than before!

What do you know? Rays woulda turned 2.

yeah, it’s ridiculous how effective the shift is against Teix. Was it this good against Giambi?

That’s one way to get a hit with RISP.

lol

Lucky not to be shut out today.

Stat-padder.

Castillo’s Ghost rides again !

Way to gork one after a class at bat, Centaur

Double gork

Luckiest 2 runs ever scored

Great, extra innings

Bad defense

BOHICA

If we’re lucky

Imagine how many runs they’d have scored there with Nunez instead of Nix.

Only a matter of time, Rafa sucks

I knew Wetteland and you’re no Wetteland Sori

Thole could easily have been tossed there. Not only barking pretty loud, but turning around and pointing with the bat as he makes another point.

And no more bench players…we coulda seen someone from the bullpen have to play in the field.

I don’t get why they booed Soriano.  When a closer faces four hitters and retires one of them that’s good, isn’t it?

Logan should be the closer.

Martino!

MARTIN!

MARTINO!!!!!!!!!!

Phew! Is Martin back?

Doesn’t it feel like years since the Yankees won a game like this?

Isn’t Logan really not good enough against righties?

Player A: 7 HR
Player B: 8 HR

[74] Montero and Martin.

[72] 9/2010 I believe kay said.  Russell Nathan Jeanson Coltrane Martin!!! Anyone with Trane in his name is awright with me.

Sweet sweep!

[75] That’s right, Johnny.

Plus, we have Pineda in the Flat Ground Trench League All Stars. Seattle can’t say that.

Isn’t Logan really not good enough against righties?

Isn’t Soriano really not good enough against anyone?

Nix-ee?  Really?

Boon-ee?

K-Long?  Shouldn’t that be Long-ee?

Even if Sori is the designated closer shouldnt Logan have started the inning?

After all is said and done Martin IS a better hitter then Cervelli.

[83] with 3 LHH due up and no RHH off the bench for the mets, Girardi should have gone to Logan to start the inning. That’s a no brainer
