New York Yankees 11 - Baltimore Orioles 10

PrintMood Music - Money Talks by AC/DC
On a day when they needed every run they could get to hold off the Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees super-prospect Jesus Montero hit two opposite field bombs, giving a taste of the ability that has had the organization so excited for the past few years. First, Montero untied an 8-8 game in the bottom of the fifth with a solo shot, and then expanded the lead to 11-8 with a two run homer in the bottom of the seventh.
Wow. With both home runs coming off of right-hander Jim Johnson (who had only allowed 3 HR in 76.2 innings before today), Montero may have taken a step towards playing himself out of the "only DH against lefties" role. We'll have to see how Girardi chooses to fill the lineup, but it looks like a good problem to have, as the Yankees offense is firing on all cylinders.
Freddy Garcia wasn't fooling anyone today, and the Orioles teed off on him for seven runs over only 2.2 innings. While the procession of mops that followed him did a good job of avoiding trouble, Boone Logan and Mariano Rivera made things interesting in the late innings.
Mark Teixeira added a solo home run and a base hit, Alex Rodriguez reached base three times, Robinson Cano hit and grand slam, and Russell Martin added a single and a double, rounding out the offense.
It's Phil Hughes and Tommy Hunter tomorrow at 7:05.
Play of the Game: Bobinson's Grand Slam increased the Yankees chances of winning by 23.5%, but Jesus Bomb 1 (12.8%) and Jesus Bomb 2 (14.8%) added more if you combine them. I'll leave it up to you.

Same question as in the game thread. Do you consider this a 2011 Yankees Classic? Overall Yankees Classic? Or too much bad to outweigh the good?

I think it was too ugly
The grand slam and two HRs for Montero almost puts it there, though.

I would have been really ticked off if we'd lost that game
But now I’m all happy like.
The idiot formerly known as pkyankeefan! Now in Technicolour!
took Montero 3 games to hit 2 homeruns.
psh… Sanchez would have 10 home runs in the same amount of ABs.
That was great though, Mariano had me scared, but at the same time I wanted Montero to have another AB lol.
You mean Lavarnway.
Considering Montero is just a Lavarnway-lite.
I am so happy he has not done well.
And if anyone dare cite his .304 BA, I give you his .412 BABIP

Considering Peter Gammons IS a member of the Red Sox organization it was probably him.
He’s their minister of propoganda.
The Jesus Montero is Jesus Montero would you Montero?
If it was my Jesus Montero he would Jeuss Montero in the Jesus Montero.
This made my head hurt

She just seemed more like a 14-year-old than someone looking to incite a riot. And she’s usually quick with an apology if she thinks she’s wrong, something which trolls aren’t really up for.
I get why people would disagree with her on OTM, though. There’s a pretty strong sabermetric crowd there too, and she is very clearly anti-saber. Or kind of bull-headed is more like it.

Yeah.
I got to watch the game on MLB Network today. But when the game is on TBS, ESPN or Fox, a message pops up and says that they are not showing the game in my area (something like that).
I’ve never called up or anything, but I always have that problem.

And then yeah, that would happen. And even with MLB.tv you would be blacked out in that situation. Illegal streams are probably your only solution, or learning how to bounce your signal with mlb.tv

Yeah
I was kind of hoping it would be a fair trade, and Marcum would continue to be an excellent pitcher. I like the Brewers, and between the Phillies already winning the NL and Boston already clinching the AL, it would be nice to see the Brewers consistently challenge the Phillies for the next 5 years or so.

Anthopolous should be in consideration for the best GM in the game.
He got rid of Rios, traded Wells, turned Alex Gonzalez into Yunel Escobar, traded Marcum for Lowrie, traded one year of Halladay for what was at the time (and has the potential to be) a solid batch of prospects, turned Zach Stewart into Colby Rasmus, and tuned Hill into Kelly Johnson. He is absolutely ridiculous.
He really is a magician.

I think it's a pretty fair trade
like use giving up IPK for Grandy. From now on we should call it the IPK trade since Kennedy might now be the true loss in the trade rather than Ajax.
Marcum is having a solid season
It’s just that Lawrie seems like the real deal, and is going to be cheaper for longer going forward. I still think the IPK for Grandy trade was a win for us, if not by as big a margin as some would have it.
The idiot formerly known as pkyankeefan! Now in Technicolour!
by Hasan Paliwala on Sep 5, 2011 7:22 PM EDT up reply actions
I think Lawrie is good
but there’s some BABIP influence in his production. Still even if that normalized he’s still hell of a player playing 3rd base. We’d have to obviously see how the trade works out in the long run. Since last year everyone proclaim the Grandy trade a bust because Ajax was playing out of his mind and luck and Grandy was merely “slightly above avg”. (even though they both ended up similar in WAR)
Definitely that
I love these type of trades, and usually more when the Yankees aren’t involved, because there really isn’t a right answer to whether Marcum was worth it, unless they win a World Series and he helps them. They’re fun trades because they help both teams and aren’t just out of necessity. Salary dumps / teams trading players they can’t afford to keep, etc. are just sad. Not saying teams can’t do well with that, but this other type of trade is more fun.

Idk, I think two factors go into Ian Kennedy's surge
1) He is in the National League (and the west) which makes a huge difference. I have heard discussions from one scout in particular that said the stuff is essentially the same, the competition is just the worst compared to the best. He thought that a flip back to the AL would be disastrous.
2) He is older. He was young when he traded, and sometimes you need to give up youth to get value now.

I have a feeling that whoever wins the Pujols "sweepstakes" is going to end up with an A-Rod like situation
Great player, but he’ll want too man years. It’s just that his first decade has been SO ridiculously productive for his contract, that if he offers to accept anything close to reasonable, the Cards have to keep him. Sort of like what Beckett’s extension looked like when he got it. He could probably have gotten a longer deal with more money on the open market at the time.

I don't know about that though
I think teams have seen the Ardo contract, and cringed at Werth’s contract, so I could see some ridiculous amount like 7 years for 35mil a year, to avoid the 10 year at 30mil. But then again, a team like the Nats could impulse buy.
Lance Pendleton's biggest only fan
I think that would be very sensible
He’d probably never produce enough in individual years to make it a great contract or anything, but he wouldn’t be the guy who’s fading away at 41 either.
It won’t happen, though. Players want years too, probably because they know they won’t get a big-money contract after their current one. Me, I’d take a 35 per / 7 years over 28 / 10 years any day, but I can see players wanting long term employment. Nobody wants to be looking for a contract at 38 if they can help it.

by Hasan Paliwala on Sep 5, 2011 6:44 PM EDT up reply actions
And I think if a team isn’t willing to go long term, I think Pujols could demand an opt out, a la CC’s contract, so if he plays at his elite level he can hold them hostage, and if not, he has some security.
But I could see the Cubs overpaying, especially if they don’t get the top tier GM they seek.

Pujols in the same division would be kind of sad

We really don't need any of them
The rotation will be fine, if a bit young next year assuming we have CC, AJ, Nova, one of the B’s (Man Ban?), and Hughes gets himself figured out.
With all our aging superstars, we really don’t need a full-time DH next year (or for the foreseeable future). Plus, we already have Tex, why would we want another expensive first baseman?
Absolutely
I don’t want any part of another long-term contract from outside. We’ll need to extend Cano, and like it or not, Joba’s going to be an expensive reliever soon too.

I wouldn't be totally opposed to that
Even though I’d be wary of throwing Burnett/Lackey type money at Wilson, AND giving up the first rounder, if that rule is still there. But a long-term deal for a hitter right now wouldn’t make any sense.

I had a friend/acquaintance who did that three years ago
He was on probation and failed a course. It haunted me for months, because I couldn’t figure out what could have led him to think it was worth killing himself over. But it’s really not my position to comment on his motivations, and I guess it’s the same for anybody who didn’t know him personally. And I suppose if you know his ex-wife, that’s a different thing altogether.
If you’re going to post a philosophical question on suicide, I’d suggest not to do it. I’m sure they’ve had this discussion many times, and will be more wary of it coming from a Yankee fan. If you were thinking of just writing up a tribute for him, it would probably work out better.

As a point of comparison:
Cervelli has 3 home runs this year in 117 at-bats.
Montero has 2 home runs this year in 13 at-bats.
Haha, poor Cervelli
I was a little surprised when Cashman was so brutal in comparing him to Jesus earlier in the year. Of course there’s no earthly reason to compare them, and I like Cervelli just fine when he’s taking care of his defense.
I would honestly be happy enough if Montero could hit well for a catcher and play decent to borderline acceptable defense. If he’s going to flat out be one of the best hitters on the team (in a way, Jorge reincarnate), I really couldn’t be happier.
Those opposite field home runs were sooooo sweet. Damn, I’d forgotten how good it feels to see rookies come up and produce. GGBG was eased in from being a bench/speed guy, and while I love love love his patience and defense, home runs are just so sexy. Cano’s probably the last guy to do that for us.

Welcome to the Majors, Jesus!
Now PLAY HIM MOAR!!
So I'm having a conversation on RAB about this...
Assuming Soriano does not opt out and he’s under contract for 11 million dollars next season…there would be little to no reason to rehab Joba as a relief pitcher. With Soriano, D-Rob, and Mo in the pen, all the late innings are covered. We have zero need for a “sixth inning guy.” Thoughts?
Joba is never going to be a starter again
Acceptance is the hardest part.
by long time listener on Sep 5, 2011 9:12 PM EDT up reply actions
I mean, in a perfect world, Soriano dominates down the stretch and thinks he can get better than 2-25 on the open market. That contract is real thorn in my side during my daily rosterbation sessions in class.
Soriano opting out wouldn't be great
The contract sucks, but he’s still a quality arm in the bullpen and I want him on the team at the back end next year. Him leaving, and plus Joba possibly out for the beginning off next season and still being a question mark and the Yankees are left with a thinner bullpen than I’d like.
Though if he did opt out, I’m pretty sure he’s a Type A free agent so the Yankees get the pick they lost right back. So that is a positive.
Welcome to the Majors, Jesus!
Now PLAY HIM MOAR!!
You kidding?
Soriano is a relief pitcher not named Mariano Rivera, he is not worth eleven million dollars. His contract is borderline albatross. They could allocate their resources to a much more pressing need, especially with Joba, Robertson, and Mo holding down the late innings.
Joba won't be back at the start of next season
And so long as Soriano isn’t handcuffing the Yankees financially then I want him on the team, because he can still pitch. He’s not worth the money he’s making, but he’s a quality arm.
Now, if you told me that the Yankees have a strict budget that may prevent them from signing a starter (which in my mind means Yu Darvish), then I’d agree that I want him to opt out, because starters are more valuable than relievers and they can use that money to get him. But I don’t know what the Yankees budget is, so I can’t know for sure.
Welcome to the Majors, Jesus!
Now PLAY HIM MOAR!!
to completely round out the offense
Jeter and Granderson also had back to back doubles. :)
How much do you guys think Robertson and Gardner will make during their first arbitration years? A lot of Brett’s value comes from defense which I believe is undervalued at these hearings so I don’t think he will get anything too wild, but Robertson has established himself as an elite reliever so he may cost a pretty penny.
I really hope they just pay them in trident layers

there's been enough talk about Gardner's defense
Maybe he’ll win a GG (or place highly – do they reveal the voting?), so that will help his arbitration case.
by long time listener on Sep 5, 2011 9:21 PM EDT up reply actions
If he doesn't win the Gold Glove it's a travesty
The only left fielder that even comes close to his ability on defense is Crawford, and seeing as he doesn’t actually play in a real left field for half his games, I think Gardner deserves it over pretty much everyone.
Welcome to the Majors, Jesus!
Now PLAY HIM MOAR!!
prepare for a travesty
GG voting isn’t always based on the most deserving, but it is based on name recognition. Gardner may have enough of that now, but he still might be a year or two of great defense away from getting the votes he needs.
