New York Yankees at Philadelphia Phillies, Nov 2, 2009 7:57 PM EST
All the debating and arguing about whether Burnett should pitch on short rest will end if the Yanks win tonight.
On three days of rest, A.J. is 4-0 with a 2.33 ERA (in 27 innings) in his career. The last time he pitched on short rest was September of 2008 (6 ip, 0 er). Very good numbers, but beware of small sample sizes...
Lee hopefully comes back to Earth tonight. His postseason ERA is .54.
He's done incredibly well vs. the Yanks recently: 1.29 ERA in his last four starts, and hasn't allowed more than three runs since 2006.
Surprisingly, Jose Molina hits Lee better than Posada. Tex, Jeter and A-Rod have had a lot of success against Lee, but on the other end of the spectrum are Damon and Cano, who might as well try to bunt for hits.
Here is John Flaherty's take (and I fully agree with him):
On pitching alone, I'd give a slight edge to Lee but less than if you'd asked me at the start of the series. That's how much I think of what A.J. did in Game 2. I'd say this, too: I think the first three innings are huge tonight. If Lee stumbles at all, and gives up a few runs, I think the Phillies might say ‘we can't win three in a row against this team' and make life easier for A.J. In a game like this one, I see one inning - or even one hit - being the difference.
One more guys! Stay focused.

Kruk's
predicting 11 runs before the 4th and they take Lee out in order to preserve him for game 7.
I never liked John Kruk, but I do now. Except I think the Phillies score 11 before the 4th inning.
AJ!

I agree with JF
The Yankees’ path to victory is to score a couple of Lee early. The Phillies’ batters may start pressing and/or feel that a loss is inevitable. Plus, they’ll have to pinch-hit for Lee by the 6th, and the sooner we get into their bullpen, the more likely we’re watching a parade on Thursday.

This figures to be a close game, so why give them base runners? And if we do pull away, what’s the point?
by long time listener on Nov 2, 2009 7:38 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I’ll always remember one of the Yankee Red Sox games Moose pitched. The Red Sox pitcher (maybe Pedro) drilled a couple of Yankees and no warning was issued.
Everyone in the ballpark kept waiting for someone to take one in the ribs. And he used that fear to keep the Sox’s hitters off balance.

No. He’d had a shoulder dislocated and missed a shot at the Cy and 20 wins with the O’s after he drilled someone in retaliation and started a brawl.

He’s the greatest SS in the history of the franchise, and a sure first-ballot HOFer. But he’s not the best Yankee ever, and when people say stuff like that, it gives fuel to those who say he’s over-rated.

No. If you think he does, you don’t remember what it looked like.
Soriano was diving for pitches off the plate, chasing sliders that started in the lefty batter’s box and breaking away.
Cano looks like he’s one big swing away from a scorched double. His swing is still under control where Soriano was flailing.

What the hell are the pitchers doing to their caps to wear them out like that? Look at AJ’s brim.

How come FOX doesn't show the replay
like they do EVERY TIME the Phillies get a controversial call?

If it goes against the Yankees it’s not controversial.

by YankeesJets on Nov 2, 2009 8:25 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
If he's going to have a "Pedroia" size strike zone
then he’d better do it for both pitchers. Thats all I have to say.

Joe Buck
“Teixieria LITERALLY took a hit away from Ibanez.”
As opposed to metaphorically taking a hit away?
by long time listener on Nov 2, 2009 8:26 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
He symbolically took that hit away.

Get off of AJ's sack
He is not getting any calls, and Utley killed CC too. Its early yet.

if not for the ump
this inning would be long over. sigh.
by typhical on Nov 2, 2009 8:27 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
A.J. isn't looking that bad
it was just that freaking UTLEY again. I guess at least we know who the MVP for the Phillies is.
PS. I HATE UTLEY!!!!!!

all right AJ
Hold it at 3. Lee is’t going nine, and we’ll scratch out a few more runs.
