ALCS Game 6: Take Two

Los Angeles Angels at New York Yankees, Oct 25, 2009 8:20 PM EDT


I feel for Ed and all the other Giants fans out there forced to choose.  The NFL already shuffled its schedules in a blatant ratings grab, putting the Jets and Giants against each other again so that it could show Brett Farve vs the Packers in a prime time spot.

Bud Selig and MLB are just reminding the die hards like us that we're really not important.  If an extra half a million casual fans tune in for a few innings, it's more important than the actual quality of the game.

So we play tonight- Joe Saunders against Andy Pettitte. 

Most of Yankee Universe feels good about the matchup, and with good reason.  Arod (.500/.533/1.071), Posada (.500/.600/.500) and Jeter (.467/.500/.733) have had consistent success against Saunders.  If those 3 are on tonight, only a little help from the rest of team will be necessary (which is good because Swisher .238/.360/.381 and Damon.286/.375/.357 are the only ones whose numbers are vaguely respectable.

On the other side of the coin, all of the Angels have solid numbers against Pettitte, although he has held Yankee-killer Howie Kendrick to a .250 OBP.  I'll especially hold my breath when Vlad is up to bat (.391/.417/.522).

If the Yankees can get into the Angels' bullpen early, it will be a good night for the Bombers.

My wife would kill me if I started moving TVs around. Best I can do is use the PIP, and probably DVR the football game. I have to write about that Monday morning at Big Blue View, so not much choice. But, I will be a wreck all night.

I like the mood around here :)

Quietly optimistic. Reading the news, you’d think we’re down 3-1 and are starting Marte in this game – or something.

Lets go Yankees!

I think Swish is going to break through tonight

I have nothing to base that on, and it should probably ready “I HOPE.” But I really think Swish is going to bang out a couple of hits tonight.

by long time listener on Oct 25, 2009 7:22 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Amen

He’s cutting the “getting hot at the right time” thing awfully close, but here’s hoping he makes it. He’s been such a big part of our season, lets hope he’s a part of our win tonight too :)

by pkyankeefan on Oct 25, 2009 7:25 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

I think Swish is one of Cashman’s best moves in a long time – it isn’t every day you get an everyday rightfielder with an OPS+ of 126 in exchange for Wilson Betemit. But the move would look a LOT better if, you know, he gets a couple of hits in post-season.

by GTWYankee on Oct 25, 2009 7:51 PM EDT via mobile reply actions   0 recs

I'll take the under

A-Rod won’t walk unintentionally, and there are too many situations where walking him won’t matter/won’t be possible.

I think he’ll go 1-2 with 2 BB, and hopefully a HR.

by PortlandYankee on Oct 25, 2009 7:55 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I say a rather modest

1-3, with a BB. But that one hit is going to an important one.

All of them?

Hehe, ok, ok, maybe some other teams won a couple too.

So, uhhh, here’s one – who was the last Yankee outfield player to win the MVP? (I have no clue about the answer)

by pkyankeefan on Oct 25, 2009 8:02 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

I'll bet it's Mantle

Neither Reggie nor Winfield ever won an MVP with the Yanks.

by long time listener on Oct 25, 2009 8:04 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Easy one:

what are the two lowest numbers not retired by the Yankees?

by GMan83201 on Oct 25, 2009 8:00 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

here's one

What three members of the 2004 Yankees are among the top 10 in Career OPS+ for the Yankees (min. 1500 plate appearances with the Yanks)?

by long time listener on Oct 25, 2009 8:02 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I would assume ARod is one of them

If had had to guess, maybe the others are…Sheff and Giambi? I’d say Jeter but I don’t think he has a high enough slugging %.

by GMan83201 on Oct 25, 2009 8:04 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

you are correct sir

A-Rod is currently 5th. Giambi and Sheff are 7th and 8th, respectively.

by long time listener on Oct 25, 2009 8:06 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

1500 seems like too few PAs

But that’s what Baseball Reference uses. Most of the other guys on the list are superstars who spent most of their careers with the team, so I choose to use 4000 PAs (which drops Reggie off the list, and A-Rod, at least until early next year).

Okay, how about this:

Joe Saunders is a MUCH better pitcher than we think

33 wins in the last 2 years. He’s just the most under the radar of the 4.

by PortlandYankee on Oct 25, 2009 8:11 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm not saying thats not true

but he said “one of the best left handers in the game”.

No doubt he’s good, but one of the best in the game? I’ll take Andy over him any day of the week, and he’s never considered “one of the best in the game”.

random, meaningless good omen dept.

The last time a Yanks ALCS clincher was on against a Giants night game, both teams won (1999). The last time a meaningful Yankee game was on against a Giant game at all, both teams won (Yanks v. Bos., Giants v. KC). I realize this means nothing, but it’s keeping me calm. For now.

by Static Shock 1987 on Oct 25, 2009 8:57 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Because it's true

Jeter is a great postseason hitter but I bet the Babe would have more hits if he had three rounds

by GMan83201 on Oct 25, 2009 8:58 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

He's right though

Jeter’s not a home run hitter. If other players had more playoff games, they would have more HR than him.
