Game #16 - Boston Red Sox @ New York Yankees

Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees, Apr 16, 2008 7:05 PM EDT


Boston Red Sox

Jacoby Ellsbury,  CF
Dustin Pedroia,  2B
David Ortiz,  DH
Manny Ramirez,  LF
Kevin Youkilis,  3B
J.D. Drew,  RF
Jason Varitek,  C
Sean Casey,  1B
Julio Lugo,  SS

Clay Buchholz,  RHP  (0-1,  3.27 ERA)

 

New York Yankees

Melky Cabrera,  LF
Derek Jeter,  SS
Bobby Abreu,  RF

Álex Rodríguez,  3B
Hideki Matsui,  LF
Jorge Posada,  DH
Jason Giambi,  1B
Robinson Cano,  2B
Chad Moeller,  C

Chien-Ming Wang,  RHP  (3-0,  1.23 ERA)

 

An interesting note through the first 15 games;  Yanks are 8-0 when their starters pitch at least 6 innings and 0-7 when they do not.

Damon gets the night off tonight against his former idiots and Posada has DH duties once again.  According to Ed Price, Posada thinks he'll be able to start behind the plate tomorrow, which would be just the sixth time this season.

Tonight's pitching matchup is a rematch of Game #11 just last Friday when Wang tossed a masterpiece in a complete game 4-1 victory over the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Clay Buchholz makes his second career start against the Yanks and was very good in his own right last Friday (6 IP, 1 ER, 3 H).

Chien-Ming Wang has pitched well against the Red Sox throughout his career at Yankee Stadium (3-2, 3.00 ERA in 6 starts).

Yanks career numbers vs. Buchholz can be viewed hereRed Sox career numbers vs. Wang can be viewed here.

Finally, here's some good news regarding Harlan Chamberlain.  Pete Abe reports that he is doing "significantly better" and is now sitting up in bed.  Good to hear.

Put the shirt back, just to be safe

But 3 hits in 10 ABs, isn’t really coming around just yet. It’s also worth noting that he hasn’t walked since the Detroit series- I suspect teams are going to pitch to him more aggressively (I know the Yanks did).

Farnsworth was Kim Jones’ guest today on Yankees Batting Practice.

Just goes to show you how rare a dominant outing by Kyle Farnsworth has been with the Yanks. One good outing and he’s the featured guest the next day.

Anybody else

think this is an odd game for Damon to take off, considering he had two hits on Monday?

1 grounder for Wang.

Until Posada can catch

this is going to happen for another several games.

I wouldn’t sit Matsui because he’s the only Yankee who has hit from the start. Posada had the night off last night.

by anaconda on Apr 16, 2008 7:14 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Now Ed Price says....

that Posada is unlikely to start behind the plate tomorrow:

After making 40 throws of about 150 feet during batting practice, Jorge Posada was ruled out for tomorrow night.

“He’s not there yet,” manager Joe Girardi said.

Update from Pete Abe from Paul O'Neill
"What can I say? The fans have always been unbelievable to me there. I don’t really know how to explain it. It makes you feel good that the fans still think of you as wearing that number."

Sounds like O’Neill was very Jeter-esque with his approach and didn’t want to “tell the fans what to do.”

Question from a Sox fan

I’m going to the game tomorrow, sitting in the bleachers. It’s my first time since I was about 12. If I wear my Sox hat, will someone start a fight with me?

I mean, I’d like to wear my colors, but not if it’s going to cause me problems. I’m pretty easygoing, and I’m not about to start a fight, but if someone dumps beer on me or my wife for wearing a hat I’ll break their nose. I’d rather not spend the night in the Tombs.

Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

No beer in the bleachers

You’ll get booed as you walk in, but other than that you should be fine. I sat next to a BoSox fan in the CF bleachers in 2004, and everything was fine.

Wang got away with that

in more ways than one.

That location is not usually called a strike and he hung it as well. The only reason that ball wasn’t hit a mile is because Manny must’ve been looking for the fastball.

by anaconda on Apr 16, 2008 8:07 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Was it hung?

Gameday says it was 87 MPH, 7” break, which lines up with his other sliders.

I hate to give Peter Gammons credit

but I heard him say that he asked Donnie Baseball why Hughes looked so good in relief in the playoffs last season, and Mattingly said “It’s the first time he went out there and didn’t have to be Phil Hughes.”

A contrast to Wang as you said and Ohlendorf is most effective in one or two inning stints. He’s more of a set-up guy than a long reliever.

The only part of the story I hadn’t heard was that both Jeter and Posada told him that it doesn’t make sense to antagonize the fans. That’s why Hawkins ultimately gave it up.

Sounds like Posada, Jeter, and O’Neill all took the same class on how to deal with the fans.

I think

what most people found troubling was who it was. Most likely Hawkins will not be with the team next year. Of all the numbers he could take, why 21? If it was one of the young guns, as many here suggested, it wouldnt have been nearly as big a deal.

It's an 80 hour game

Sign of the times

Back in the day, classy Joe D hooked up with Marilyn Monroe.

Today? Sox pitcher and Penthouse model.

Classy Joe D

Married a broad who got filmed performing fellatio on some unidentified gentleman.
