ALCS Game 4: One more time

PrintNew York Yankees at Los Angeles Angels, Oct 20, 2009 7:57 PM EDT
We just saw this guy 96 hours ago dominating the Angels' lineup. The coaching staff is asking him to do it again, this time on short rest. In game one, Sabathia was coming off eight days of rest. Some of that will hopefully carry over tonight.
CC is relatively familiar with pitching on short rest: he did it four consecutive times last year with Milwaukee. In the first three (during the Brewers wildcard run), he was phenomenal, allowing two earned runs in 21.1 innings (.83 ERA). However, the proverbial wheels fell off in his fourth start, which happened to be game one of the NLDS (3.2 ip, 5 er).
I'm expecting much better this time, for this will be his first start on short rest this season.
Opposing him is our old nemesis, Scott Kazmir. The former D-Ray excelled after getting traded to the Angels mid-season, posting a 1.73 ERA in 36.1 innings (with 26 K, 10 BB and a 1.05 WHIP).
The Yankees saw Kazmir in an Angel uniform not a month ago, tacking him for three runs in six innings. An encouraging thought is Kazmir's last start, when he faced Boston in game three of the ALDS: 6 ip, 5 er, 1 K. Let's hope he's just as ineffective tonight.
Only three Yankees have hit Kazmir well: Tex (1.667 OPS Against), Posada (1.144) and Melky (.900). Perhaps this is the game Teixeira breaks out of his postseason-long slump. We could really use it, as every other Yankee starter is below .550 OPSA vs. the lefty.
Anaheim has seen Sabathia thrice this season, and hit him hard the first two times (we all know how he did in his third). Overall, he allowed 10 ER in 21.1 innings (4.22 ERA).

i rarely comment
and don’t troll over at other blogs, but i like reading what other people have to say. that being said, this has to be the worst comment ever:
Re: Mariano Rivera Spitball?
“If he was a very good pitcher he’d be a starter.
He’s slightly more useful than a pinch hitter.

I've read worse
I hear that there are people who actually root for the Pirates…
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
As of right now
I would rather beat these guys than the sox. I hate them for this BS. GO CC!
"Son, Nobody is half as good as Mickey Mantle"
+1
i never go over to another teams sight, but the halos have someone writing named rev something or other. and when i went over there last night i was shocked at his classless bitter tirade. he went on and on about how the media likes to nibble on jeters sack and some other bs. first of all, buck and mccarver are down right depressed when we do well, and need new underwear when the angels get a base hit so blow me. second, jeter is the personification of class. these angels fans are becoming much worse than blowsox fans, and we need to come out with some anger and really let them know whos in the house!
go over there right now
and read the post game wrap up from last night….it will make your blood boil
The joke about the panther who ate the Yankees fan
is really classy too.
yeah right
i never really had many feeling either way towards the halos except some bitterness for losing to them in the post season. but now…………….im out for blood
No worries, dude --
At the end of the day, win or lose, we don’t need any retard-friendly fireworks, a scared and abused ape jumping up and down (creating the illusion that he actually knows what baseball is), or red plastic rods to get our asses out of our seats. Maybe the Angels front office should hand out some Adderall capsules to have these people focus on the actual game without having to turn the whole stadium into a freakin’ pinball machine.
let's do like they did
They bounced back from a tough loss and got a win. We’ve got our best pitcher on the mound and an offense that’s overdue for a couple of hits with RISP.

Does anyone else find Fox’s voice over guy a little creepy?
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
WTF is this guy talking about bullies and tough kids?
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
stuck at work with gameday
it kind of a bittersweet thing for me. have to watch on gameday but dont have to hear buck and mccarver……………….kind of a push i think
We’ll hook you up with some play by play.
I did the Gameday thing yesterday.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
This has to be the most inane commentary
“Are the Yankees bullies or tough kids?” What a dumb analogy.
Speaking of dumb, I hate to give more play to the whole spitball nonsense, but I just saw the Deadspin take. Perfect.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Do Angels fans honestly believe this?
they were the ones that started it all right? Over at Halos Heaven? Can anybody honestly believe that Mariano Rivera would throw a spitball?
They must be mentally disturbed if someone honestly thinks that is remotely possible.
It shows that the writer doesn’t understand the difference between the way a spitter is supposed to dance and the way Mo’s cutter breaks.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
yea
they think the video is great evidence, and yet the video shows the spit going right past the baseball without touching it. How come Halo fans missed this?
They should know that when a spitball is thrown, you have no idea where it’s going and it’s dangerous. But Mo, as usual, had impeccable control last night. A spitter wouldn’t do that.
Just looking for another excuse to bash the Yankees.
Mariano Rivera
Seriously? Just about the most honorable man in the major leagues. There is no chance whatsoever.
WHY
is Jose Molina taking ground balls at third base? If anybody not named Alex Rodriguez is playing third base in the postseason I won’t be happy with Girardi (granted, I’m not too happy with Girardi right now, but that would really make it bad).
He’s got to do something to keep busy when AJ’s not pitching.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Guys.....
the game is over. We are going to get smoked…..At least from one on FOX…..I have the game on, not watching yet and do not know if I will. We cannot win…..
They ARE jewels over there…..hahahahahahaha

They can’t predict the Angels to win the series, otherwise their prediction would be wrong! But when it comes to game time, they just try and act like they’re going with their gut feeling. It’s sickening.

OBJECTIVES!!!
..."I predict...the Giants are #1"...
...."That's not a prediction meatman, that's a FACT OF LIFE"!.
---Carl
1. Quality start
2. Lockdown bullpen
3. Hits with RISP
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
1) WIN..of course
2) Leave the glorious game of GRAB ASS to the post game celebration. Preferably in the locker room.
3) When Girardi lets the pitcher know how much he’s saved on his car insurance during those mound visits…USE IT! Don’t just nod your head in agreement…USE IT!!!
4) Base hits. Solo HR are nice. 3-R HR better. RBI singles, sac flys = as good as solo HR also…and a lot easier.
5) we get a troll saying Rivera spit on the ball…castrate him (or if he is a she…hand out the hysterectomy ).
6) Same as 1) WIN THE DAMN GAME!
5)

1) Take the game easy
2) open up a can of whoopass early so the bullpen can rest and so that Joe G doesn’t get antsy and use pitchers like crazy.
3) Get Tex to seriously start hitting.
4) clutch hitting in general.
somehow happy

Kazmir gives up a huge percentage of fly balls. When we get around on one it’ll go a long ways.

did he mean it?
Or was it bluster?

Cano pop out? Didn't see that one coming...
Blind devotion.

Buck and McCarver
Why are they so concerned about Kazmir and his pace? Buck said he doesn’t it.
I think it’s wrong for announcers to show their feelings like that
if we don't score here
First person to say “at least we’re running up his pitch count” gets punched in the junk.

Nick just wanted to give the runners a head start…
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Got my heart rate up a little bit there.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
because Girardi used
every reliever for one out.

They NEED to start hitting with RISP...
That was kinda weak….

Yankees offense:
sit back and pray for a solo homerun and/or Angels’ error.
by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Oct 20, 2009 8:34 PM EDT reply actions
Yeah, that’s what Arod was doing when he stole second, and when every batter in the inning made Kazmir throw at least 4 pitches.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
0-23 with RISP
i’m not trying to be too negative, and i know you’re trying to keep it positive here jscape, but even you must be frustrated with this.
by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Oct 20, 2009 8:37 PM EDT up reply actions
Hell yeah. So long as the Angels are just as ineffective though (and they have been) I’m going to stay positive.

I don’t particularly mind the f-bomb, though I don’t use it often. Just add more insight to your post than just “f—-.” Something like “How the f does this fing team not fing hit with fing runners in fing scoring fing posi-fing-tion”
Picking up what I’m putting down?

i have now lost a ton of confidence in this team!

i don't know what pisses me off more
the fact that no runs scored, or the fact that A-Rod didn’t move one inch from 2nd base with nobody out.
they’re not even getting productive outs.
by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Oct 20, 2009 8:35 PM EDT reply actions
all of the above.
THIS, is why last night even went to extras.
I know it happens for the Angels too…but I don’t care about them.

course not
once Matsui got out what did you expect? Cano can’t hit w/RISP to save his life and Swish is a .240 hitter.
Girardi needs get himself kicked out....
worked last time…..
by Gangsta Yanksta on Oct 20, 2009 8:37 PM EDT reply actions
I wouldn't mind that
as long as he takes his huge binder with him.
by long time listener on Oct 20, 2009 8:38 PM EDT up reply actions
he'd still be managing the game.

Kazmir
Seems like he doesn’t have his best stuff now. Keep the faith. The Yankees will come through yet.
Well didn’t he get traded when he was still like 21?

Kendrick?
on the Cano thing, you at least got some credibility.
Kendrick has killed the Yankees since he was born.
…as he grounds out.
…still no Dp.

It honestly looked like
Hideki and Robbie were looking for walks rather than hits after seeing the tiny strike zone. Maybe I’m just over reacting. I was hoping for at least a run from that.
by pkyankeefan on Oct 20, 2009 8:41 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
I have complete faith in CC
but I’m losing faith in this offense (minus A-rod)
Joe Buck and Tim McCarver seem to be rooting for the Angels
And by the way, the crowd made that line drive seem like a triple
Bernie?
i think he had six in 1996.
by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Oct 20, 2009 8:42 PM EDT reply actions
thank god it's Napoli
and not Babe Ruth Mathis
by long time listener on Oct 20, 2009 8:42 PM EDT reply actions
Mathis had a lower average this season than Jose Molina
and yet somehow, can ANYBODY EVER imagine Molina hitting it that far?
I'm sure Molina imagines it
it just never happens
by long time listener on Oct 20, 2009 8:43 PM EDT up reply actions
even his hr (yes he has hit a hr) aren't as far
