Jeffrey Maier in RF....the Yankees vs. Orioles playoff thread

[Freestyle Phantom3.0]

This shyt is beyond frustrating.

In the past, pitching was always the problem, now we have 4 GREAT starts in a row and its being wasted by these guys inability to get a timely hit?

Arod and Granderson especially just look lost out there, I dont know if its the fact that they are going for the homer every time, but they are taking horrible swings and approaches at the plate. I feel like Granderson has lost the ability to work the count and just makes things easy for pitchers. Swisher is a whole nother story, dude stop smiling after you pop out, AGAIN. fukk outta here with that...

Cano has to wake up today, hes way too good of a hitter to be playing like this. I mean you got Jeter out there limping around, ibanez pinch hitting homers, ichiro playing well, shyt even nix hit the ball well last night and these guys cant string together 3-4 quality at bats ONCE in a game?

AND game 5 starts at 5 PM??

Nix being a role player wasnt standing there grinding the bat into dust. and fukkin joe saunders too we should destroy him

 

[Street Knowledge]

CC gonna have to shut them out tonight. Give up 2 runs and it's over

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Today is one of those days where CC will give up like 5 earned and it won't really matter anyways.

I know the pitching staff must be looking at these nikkas like

 

[Tommy Fits]

Yanks will win tonight, Yanks always win, we've seen this story too many times before. Yeah I know conventional wisdom would tell you this game is up for grabs but I've had my baseball soul crushed so many times I'm just trying to mentally prepare myself now.

WTF is with this 5PM start ? I gotta work out after work

 

[holidayinn21]

7-26 in games in which they don't hit a HR.

 

[Trip]

its been the hitting for the past 10 years. Arod was luckily hot in 2009.

Coming in to rep from my squad I hear everyone talk about how the Yanks haven't produced when it count but i am hear to give props where it should have started at....PITCHING . The Yanks as already documented have been here before. The O's are the new kids on the block. Now i have watched a ton of O's games and our bullpen has been the savior of this team. Buck has been matching the pen up beautifully and has gotten the max out of it. Regardless if we win tonight or not I am damm proud of this team You guys are lucky that Markakis is not in the lineup

These Yankee fans ain't given no credit to the pitching of the Os

The bull pen has been strong all year, the Os have played better in the Bronx and now both teams have split all 22 games so far this season.

My money is on the new kids on the block, I think they're gonna go out and have some fun out there today

Niqqa please.

Yankees fans have been bytching about the Yanks inability to produce against decent pitching since the beginning of the season.

The O's aren't 'pioneering' some shyt we didn't know was a problem with our team.

I actually got into an argument with Keith Olberman on twitter about this prior to the playoffs.

 

[Doctor Wily]

Kevin long's going to be the fall guy if they in fact do get eliminated.

Plus I can see granderson getting traded this offseason.

Yup Ive been saying this, the media always wants to blame pitching but they will have no choice this year but to blame the hitting. I dont want to say he was luckily hit,Ill give Arod credit for 09 but basically other than his hot streak, ever since this stacked lineup was put together starting really in 04 we just havent had that ability to get timely hits. We bring in new stars and they fall into the same trap, its incredible that we cant count on dudes like teixiera or arod to get sac flys when that shiit was a given with the dynasty team.

This lineup since 04 is talented enough they should bomb Koufax let alone scrubs like Joe Saunders. They just choke all the time. I mean that 06 team? that team had more talent than Murders row and the big red machine and got shut down by Kenny Rogers.

bro please, Joe Saunders is asss, your pitching is decent at best, and the Yanks lineup is stacked not ordinary. Im tired of giving credit to no namers every year, at some point you say its the hitters not the pitchers.

they dont always win since 04 where you been breh? even though 01-03 they didnt win the title, they still had that timely hitting ability, you still got the feeling they knew how to win playoff games, now its like they find ways to lose instead of finding ways to win. First round exits almost every year, we basically the Braves now, you know we in the offs every year but you know we getting ousted first round every year.

 

[Eddie Jordan]

Chavez starting at 3rd. Ibanez to DH. Arod to bench. There goes our chance at winning tonight O's brehs
