Guest TheDon Report post Posted October 1, 2005 For the Yankees to lose only 5-3 after playing so horrible in the game it isn't that bad and leaves some positives for the rest of the series. Thankfully Posada sits tommorow and hopefully Sierra joins him on the pine. As far as you AL. I have watched pretty much every Yankee game on televison since 1993. Posada has a horrible eye. He might walk alot but when he swings at balls in the dirt today and takes close pitches I am going to question him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Watch closer. Posada's 15th in walks and 43rd in strikeouts. You don't place 15th in the league in walks without a good batting eye. It's hard to believe a guy like Posada who plays in NY and has three titles can be underrated, but he is. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Posada has never been underrated in terms of offense. He made it to 4 all star games if not more and was snubbed out on a couple due to Mike Hargrove. Posada even finished third in the MVP voting for 2003. The point I was trying to make is this. David Wells walked Arod and then Giambi. He hits Sheffield and what does Jorge do? He swings at the first pitch that bounces off the ground and then he takes the second pitch which is close for strike two. I personally hate it when I see batters swinging first pitch when the pitcher is having control issues. That is why I made the comment about Posadas eye. He did have what two strikeouts last night. I dont even want to hear your rationalization of his at bat against Timlin in the 8th which was just god awful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingPK 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2005 I dont even want to hear your rationalization of his at bat against Timlin in the 8th which was just god awful. How about "He had a bad at-bat and was outguessed by Timlin"? Come on man, even your fellow Yankee fans on this board are telling you to clam up. I told you to knock it off last time. This is your last warning. Anyway, if I had any beef with the home plate ump tonight it was that he took about 3 hours to signal a strike after the ball hit the mitt. The games are already long and tense enough without you making us wait for a fucking strike call, dude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2005 Come on man, even your fellow Yankee fans on this board are telling you to clam up. I told you to knock it off last time. This is your last warning. Actually, he's 100% right about Posada, his numbers are offset by some absolutely horrible at-bats, at the most inopportune times. The reason he walks so much is that he takes a lot of pitches, but he gets himself in trouble doing the same thing. *this is one of the reasons I hate Posada in the 7 hole, with nothing to protect him he's much more vulnerable to ABs like the one against Timlin. I'd feel more comfortable with him hitting ninth, or somewhere with Matsui behind him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2005 Posada's state of mind with the bases loaded with less than two outs with a vet known for his control like Wells pitching, was likely that he'd see something right down the middle on the first pitch.

Guest TheDon Report post Posted October 1, 2005 And you people think I am bad?? You shoud see the yankees board at Yesnetwork.com or NYYfans.com. Bottom line is this. Posada had a bad game all around yesterday. His skills are declining. I want to see how happy any of you are when some player on your team leaves 7 runners on base with less than 2 outs in the game and have the runners be in scoring posistion.

mike546 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2005 John Sterling bitching on the radio saying it was foul. Get the fuck outta here. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wasn't even close to being foul. But Ugh, you need to shut them down after a three spot Randy. Fucking ay. edit: I could see why he was bitching though. Close ones down the LF line don't usually happen at Fenway, and if they do, there usually foul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheDon Report post Posted October 1, 2005 Nice to see Randy getting squeezed some more by the Ump. Manny's homerun did appear to be fould but only on TV. It's nice to see the Yankees play abc baseball and score 2 runs on productive outs unlike last night. I hope Jorge watched Flahertys at bat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest *KNK* Report post Posted October 1, 2005 I'm very pleased to get Indians/Sox instead because There's more drama and pressure to this game then the other game. If The Indians lose here, tommorow's game for Sox/Yankees is virtually meaningless expect for "pride" and statistical numbers. Every knew that Yankees/Sox would split the first two games, the game that matters is game three. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
