O's Top Yanks In Extras, 5-4

in Game Recap
Email
PrintIvan Nova left today's start with a chance to win his ninth straight game and sixteenth of the season, but the Yankees bullpen could not hold the lead and Robert Andino's game tying and game winning hits lifted the Orioles to a victory.
The Yankees scored three runs in the third behind RBI singles from Eric Chavez and Derek Jeter, and later added a fourth run the next inning behind another RBI single from Chavez.
But after the fourth, the Yanks had just two baserunners the rest of the way - Curtis Granderson was hit by a pitch in the seventh and Alex Rodriguez walked in the tenth. That kind of offense will not win games. But, give credit where credit is due. The Orioles bullpen allowed only two Yankees to reach base and tallied eight strikeouts over six innings.
Nova didn't have his best stuff, as he allowed eight baserunners and three runs in 5 1/3 innings of work, but he gave the Yankees a chance to win the game.
He was removed for Boone Logan in the sixth, who immediately served up a double to Chris Davis and allowed an inherited runner to score, bring the score to 4-3.
Rafael Soriano entered in the eighth and allowed a single to Mark Reynolds, who advanced to second on a rare error from Brett Gardner. After a single from Chris Davis, Granderson saved the Yankee lead for the time being by throwing Reynolds out at the plate. Andino would knock in the tying run in the next at bat.
Scott Proctor entered and pitched a scoreless ninth, but gave up a single, a walk, and the game winner to Andino in three consecutive at bats to give the O's a walk off victory.
Play of the Game: Andino's game winner (31.8%).
Thoughts and observations after the jump.
- Where was Mariano Rivera today? I'm not sure why he would be unavailable, as he didn't pitch on Wednesday afternoon. If Rivera was available, I have to wonder why Proctor pitched the ninth and the tenth innings. I wouldn't be surprised, but I'd be disappointed if Girardi waited on using Rivera for a save situation.
- Watching Curtis Granderson and Robinson Cano work a relay is a thing of beauty. They combined again today to get Nick Markakis at the plate. Credit Francisco Cervelli for holding onto the ball as Markakis ran him over.
- A-Rod hasn't looked too good at the plate since returning from the DL. It's an admittedly small sample size (7-for-33, .212), but he's still getting on base (8 walks in nine games).
- I know I mentioned it in the recap, but I was impressed with the Orioles bullpen. The ability to hold the Yankees scoreless and hitless over six innings says something about them, as do their eight strikeouts.
- With that said, the Yanks seemed like they were in a groove, which made the Orioles bullpen dominance that much more surprising. Prior to the bullpen taking over, the Yanks had 12 baserunners in four innings against starter Alfredo Simon.

I started my recap without posting a “more to come” with a picture. That prompted Brandon to post a picture with, essentially, a “more to come” type of thing.
As he posted his, I finished my recap.

Damn, I didn't realize Logan served up the double to Chirs Davis
Because he’s fucking terrible. Like godawful at the plate.
Strikeouts are boring- Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.
Shows you how bad Logan is right now.
It’s time for A-Rod to fulfill the promise he made to Logan if he did not right the ship…
Logan is terrible too so something had to give
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Time to move on, I guess
The Yankees pitchers were not their normal selves today, and the O’s pen the past couple games has been playing way above their normal level. It was like Bizarro world out there. Three painful games in a row, all of which went on way too long, and two of which ended poorly for us.
Hopefully they get back on track starting right the hell now.
If they lose the division by a game
and have to face Verlander twice in a short series it’s very winnable games like this one that will kill them, and me!
It's after a series like this that I miss George Steinbrenner most.
The team would now be on a plane headed to LA with nuthin’ but grade C meals and water on board. Girrardi? On a Greyhound bus headed West.

It's times like this that I miss George Steinbrenner the least
Because of his knee-jerk reactions and generaly flailing about at any sign of stress that inevitably worsened any situation.
And Girardi not getting to the Left Coast in his bus 'til Sat. worsens the situation...how?
Ted Williams' famous Red Sox farewell speech: "I consider myself the unluckiest man on the face of the Earth."
I was at the game
Couldn’t figure out several moves. For starters, of course, I can’t figure out why Scott Procter is on the team. At the game today my brother noted that no one was up in the bullpen at the start of the 10th and said “clearly he’s going to live or die with Scott Procter” and I said “I’d like another choice, please.”
Why was GGBG lifted for Andruw Jones? Not only is Gardner just better than Jones, but it was against a RHP. Whut?
Getting not one but TWO plays at the plate was pretty epic – Cervelli hung in like a champ on both of them.
Getting free baseball sure beat a day in the office, but I’d have rather not had the keg o’ fail served up by Logan (I was in the stands yelling “NOOOOOOOOO”), Soriano and Procter. I shall console myself with the thought that maybe all of them will be left off of the playoff roster.
Regarding Andruw Jones
He came in instead of GGBG because it was a left reliever. Of course, Joe often does this. And also of course, Buck immediately then called for the right-handed reliever. Dickerson had already entered the game for Swisher, so the bench was low on outfielders, so Jones stayed in to strike out feebly.
In other words, Joe was out-binder’d today.

Now it’s 5-1 Toronto, and the bullpen is coming in with runners on second and third. Sigh.

You must be talking about the football game
and not the original topic of this post. I am still in the Angry Dome over here.
Maybe the BJ's game too
But yeah, Football has been enjoyable.
