Where's the run support? Yankees fail Hughes in 2-1 loss

"Oh my god!" was my reaction upon seeing Marcus Thames' double hit the very top of the right-centerfield wall and bounce back into play. An inch further and it ties the game. Wow, was that frustrating.
Anyway, the next batter (Austin Kearns) was hit by a pitch to set up a bases-loaded, no-one out situation. So what did the next three batters do? They all struck out, failing to scratch across even one run.
Curtis Granderson continued to look lost against lefties (and a righties too, for that matter), striking out against Jon Lester while Dan Bard entered and K'd Derek Jeter and Nick Swisher on high 90's heat.
The offense went 0-9 with RISP. Boston only went 1-8, but that difference was all they needed. The only run came on Mark Teixeira's 26th homer, a solo shot off Bard (whom he owns: 4-11 with three HR).
Swisher picked a bad day to stop hitting - his 0-5 in the two spot really hurt the team. Not one Yankee batter had more than one hit.
Phil Hughes had one bad inning, the second, when he let up the two runs and threw 38 pitches. After that, he didn't look long for the game but battled through six.
Play of the Game: Another POG that came from the losing team - today it was Thames' double in the seventh that put runners on second and third with no outs (+19%). A measly single ties the game there. In fact, the top two plays in terms of Win Probability were Yankee hits. That's how unlucky they were to lose. From the victorious team it was Ellsbury's single in the second that moved Bill Hall to third (-6%).
Comment of the Game: lololol, for actually looking up Berkman's, Gardner's and Pena's BA against LHP.
The strikezone was awful all day. It started off tiny, with home-plate ump Hunter Wendelstedt not giving anything close to the pitchers while it expanded later on (but still saw clear strikes called balls). It sure seemed to favor Boston's hurlers, especially later on when it expanded and the Yankees were forced to come back.
Can you remember a catcher making two worse throws than Posada did? The first one went off toward right-centerfield, allowing Ellsbury to reach third, then on a pitch-out, he fired a one-hopper that nearly skipped past Robbie Cano.
Girardi made the right choice letting Grandy hit with the bases-full against Lester. The only righties on the bench were Cervelli and the switch-hitters Berkman and Pena (and the lefty Gardner, who is slumping). So let's say you did pinch-hit for him - it would mean Gardner would enter to play CF, then you lose him as a pinch-runner, which he was used for in the ninth. And would you really trust any of the other options significantly more than Grandy? I don't. Grandy's speed also prevents grounding into a GDP there.
And is there any pitcher who takes longer between pitches than Jon Papelbon? It's painful to watch him. Throw the damn ball already! Stop putting on your 'angry-10-year-old-kid' face and pitch.
I'm going to choose to look at this series in a positive light. The Yankees could have easily swept the Sox if a few breaks go there way (Cervelli's drop, Thames' near-homer, etc.). The two wins were solid wins in which the Yanks pretty much dominated, but the losses really could've gone either way. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

reality check
good pitching always beats good hitting——-what happen to LEE< HALLIDAY? scout drop the ball??
another dose of reality
the Yanks lost 2-1, they needed another hit or 2. Pitching was FINE. Lee or Halladay in Pinstripes would’ve lost that game too.

I wish they could of borowed 2 of those 7 runs
the Yanks give Hughes every other start.
Since the face been revealed the game got real
Who will heed the call?

An even split was all I wanted from that series
I’d like to see 4/6 in the upcoming road trip, though.
Usqueadbaugham! Anam muck an dhoul ! Did ye drink me doornail?
agree with everything you said there.
definitely could have swept. but to go 0-9 with RISP, especially when most of those at bats came in the later innings, is absolutely pathetic. at least put the ball in play with the bases loaded and no body out.
very frustrating game for me to watch.
oh and gardner was a waste of a pinch runner anyway. he took 5 pitches to go. he’s gotta go sooner than that. cano could have at least moved him to 3rd in that at bat

Only disagreement is the pinch hit
Why NOT pinch hit for Grandy? He’s pretty hopeless against lefties. So if you just bought a Berkman and its sitting on the shelf why leave him there in this sitch?
I understand a stud like Bard coming in and throwing high heat for the 2nd and 3rd outs. i think we let the game get away with Grandy’s bases full zero out at bat. He’s a sacrificial lamb v lefties.
Berkman is not good against lefties either.
So what’s the difference?
by WhatwouldJeterdo on Aug 9, 2010 8:03 PM EDT up reply actions
As bad as...?
Honestly don’t know the math or the matchups — so I can only presume Girardi does. But are you seriously saying Granderson is actually a better hitter against lefties than Berkman from the right side?
If that’s true, my "doubt’ about the LB acquisition just turned to disdain.
Berkman: .185 vs lefties
Grandy: .212 vs lefties
by WhatwouldJeterdo on Aug 9, 2010 8:11 PM EDT up reply actions
Remarkable, but true.
So Berkman makes Grandyman look like Ruth against lefties. (Not Babe Ruth — uhhh — just “Ruth”)
In that case…
1. Was there NO better alternative?
2. WTF did we bother with LB for?
Today, I don't think there was a better alternative at that time.
Sad, but true. There was really no one on the bench who seemed like a better option to throw out there.
If you mean in general a better option than Lance Berkman, I don’t know.
by WhatwouldJeterdo on Aug 9, 2010 8:25 PM EDT up reply actions
I think you're numbers sum it up.
Which is pretty scary, sad and true all at the same time. Except for one thing…
.250 vs. lefties (CC Sabathia).
Surely you would’ve.
1) Miranda, Nick Johnson..you pick
2) it didn’t cost much…low risk, high reward to steal a Pissant term.
Nick is ready?
Even so — that would’ve been a pretty sticky spot to have him “return”
Nick will never be ready...
still, those are the alternatives. Lance will be fine the farther he gets from losing in Houston and his early season surgery.
I know "never be ready"
but is he actually back and on the bench? i thought he was still DL
he's still on the DL yea
I dunno what the hell their plan is with him. He’s probably break his finger being the water boy
Pavano is HIS Doctor.
(Just trying to get in on this….)
wow
I thought we were gonna lose the whole time….

Exactly
Davis doesn’t have the stuff Hellickson does, both are rookies. I dont see the Rays missing a beat with Hellickson taking Davis place. Niemann has been decent at times but Sonnanstine wont be a huge step off. He did pitch during the 08 Rays run. Sox are cooked.

Well the pick we got from that trade was suppost to be a great player, but he was a bust so now I hate it. But back then he wasn’t a top line player like he is now. I think he is a real good player for his cap hit. But I was never real happy about that trade

These threads are a tad rediculous. I realize I’m not a Yankee fan, but 91% of this thread has nothing to do wth baseball. Some busy SBNation sites have special fanposts dedicated for “idle chitchat” to leave pre/post game threads to talk about the actual game. I dunno, something to think about.

The only thoughts I have on the whole Grandy/Ajax trade is
My only regrets about Ajax are he is having a good season for a rookie and it would’ve been nice to see a homegrown talent make a splash on the MLB level.
I have no regrets on losing Coke/Kennedy
On the other side Grandy is both likeable and a good ball player. He has been valuable even if his season numbers have been down. I don’t prefer Ajax to Granderson but even if I did I don’t see the point of calling players on the team I support busts and eagerly awaiting their run out of town.
A supporter of the MFY.
Quite a few players on the Yankees are having off seasons this year.
This is why I enjoy baseball. It’s a game of unknowns. Hell, this post season is looking to be one of the most exciting postseasons ever.

and alot of dark horses are preforming more than ever …see our team..jeter, tex,arod, posada under preforming …while swisher, cano and ggbg uptil recently has been off the charts
Again, game of unknowns.

He turned around the Yankees, D-Backs and Rangers.

well its 7 games in you know
