Teletopez Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 The umpires made three incorrect calls that went against us today: 1) Jeter called out stealing third base in the first inning (though I don't know why he was stealing with no outs)2) Aaron Hill being called safe on what should have been a force out, followed by a Rios 3-run home run3) Hinske being called out at second on a force when the fielder's foot was on the bag, we could have had bases loaded with no outs. Joba has yet to get a win in Yankee Stadium, and Pettitte has a win-loss pattern going. Wang's hurt, so Hughes or Aceves will need to leave our bullpen to join the rotation. Burnett and Sabathia cover 2 good days out of every 5, but our other 3 guys need to be solid as well. I hope our bullpen stays strong with Hughes/Aceves leaving. Albaladejo was called up, so maybe he can be a helping hand for our relief pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teletopez Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Jeter on being called out stealing third despite avoiding the tag: "I was just baffled by the explanation," Jeter said. "I was told I was out, because the ball beat me, and he didn't have to tag me. I was unaware they had changed the rules." "I just pulled my hands back and got called out," Jeter said. "I've seen everybody make mistakes on calls before, but I was baffled by the explanation." He told me, 'He didn't have to,'" Jeter said. "I'm not making this up. This is what I was told." Interesting explanation by the umpire. Edited July 7, 2009 by Waldo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 It doesn't look like the Yankees have a shot at Roy Halladay. As awesome as the idea of getting him seems at first, it would not be so awesome. According to Mark Feinsand, if the Jays do in fact listen to offers within the division, the Yankees would have to give up a lot for Halladay, such as Hughes, Joba, and Austin Jackson. Toronto's two best pitchers from last year could reunite, but it still doesn't seem like it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy's a complete game machine against us. We've pretty much done nothing off him in the last two seasons except for a couple days ago when we got Yankee Stadium's help. We can take him off our schedules for most of the future if he goes to the Phillies or some other NL team. Then again... World Series, Game 1: CC Sabathia vs. Roy Halladay.

Phightins Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I think that is the one thing working in the Phillies favor. Boston could definitely offer more than us in terms of MLB ready talent, and the Yankees probably as well, but I don't know if Ricciardi would hesitate to deal him within the AL East. All of the Phillies top prospects are a year or two away, so I don't know if that will hurt us or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phillies probably won't have to give up as much AL East teams. Even Boston shouldn't want to trade for Halladay. They don't desperately need starting pitching as far as I know since Smoltz can give up five runs and their offense will still find a way to win. Plus, they shouldn't want to give up anyone from their strong bullpen. Unless their offense, which is stacked, can lose a few players.

Phightins Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I am sure he will listen, but man, I have a hard time believing he is going to want his team to face Halladay 5 or 6 times next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNiner Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 There hasn't been much talk about the Boston Red Sox getting Roy Halladay, and I'm not sure that I see it happening, and I'm not sure that the Red Sox want to give up a lot for him. - Josh Beckett- Jon Lester- Dice-K- Brady Penny- Tim Wakefiled- John Smoltz I really don't see how he would be able to fit in here. Also, it would take an absolute fortune to get him, and they will be asking for Clay Bucholtz+++++++. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teletopez Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Old Timers' Day is next Sunday. It seems like all the Yankee hitters that were slumping have started to hit better: Cano, Matsui, and A-Rod. Posada is also showing improvement.

Teletopez Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 We have a tough schedule after the break. Obviously we played poorly to cap off the first half, but hopefully we can get some rest and get it back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Next Knick Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 We played horrible against the Sox, and are still 3 games out of first and 2.5 games ahead in the WC. If we play good against the Sox, winning maybe 4/5 of the remaining 9 games, we can easily take the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
