ALCS Game 4: One more time

New York Yankees at Los Angeles Angels, Oct 20, 2009 7:57 PM EDT


Photo

by Julie Jacobson - AP

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).



Star-divide

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).

and Gardner would do better?

against the lefty Kazmier? He’s not really that good a hitter. He’s fast, but that doesn’t matter if he can’t get on.

If Melky doesn’t do anything today then Gardner will most likely start on Thursday. But I have no problem with the lineup today.

I would leave Melky in. What are Swisher’s numbers?

The lineup is fine

Calling for Gardner is like calling for a backup QB after the starter has a bad game. If Tex has another bad game at the plate and ARod gets walked a bunch, perhaps they should be flip flopped in the batting order.

Re: Mariano Rivera Spitball?

He’s slightly more useful than a pinch hitter.

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!

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.

The Phillies Look Dangerous

If we make it to the WS, it will be a real tough series.

by YankeesJets on Oct 20, 2009 7:19 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I'm not giving up on the Dodgers yet

they have home field advantage. They have Padilla (who has pitched incredibly well so far in the playoffs, and the NL just can’t hit him). And they have Joe Torre. The guy knows how to manage and win in the playoffs.

A Dodgers-Yankees WS would be epic, and thats what I’m still hoping for.

by nyyrocks29 on Oct 20, 2009 7:21 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

The odds are against them, sure. But I’d bet they get back to LA.

after we raped them 19-8 in Game 3. And they came back.

Momentum changes in a heartbeat in a postseason series. Phillies obviously have the edge. But nothing is over until the final out.

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.

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.

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)

Cervelli is GOD.

so the fact that he saw Robertson giving up the GW HR on the next batter..he thought that since ACE would do that, he chose the lesser of 2 evils.

Ace doesn’t care what happened the game before, he still comes out with his 90 lb cajones.

No seriously

These guys don’t like the Yankees. I’m not being paranoid, they just don’t. You need to listen to their scoring calls.

I haven't heard anything about the Yankees since the beginning of the game.

Have you? Are they even playing. I know the Angels are. Five more minutes and McCarver will be telling us what colour underwear they’re wearing.

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

Buck and McCarver

Why are they so concerned about Kazmir and his pace? Buck said he doesn’t it.

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.

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.

Hell yeah. So long as the Angels are just as ineffective though (and they have been) I’m going to stay positive.

I see there strategy … walk the hitters and take the automatic outs …

by NY on Oct 20, 2009 8:35 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I think that's a legitimate strategy when it comes to Cano

If Posada gets on with two outs just walk Matsui and pitch to Cano.

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”

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   0 recs

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.

on the Cano thing, you at least got some credibility.

Kendrick has killed the Yankees since he was born.

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.
