2011 MLB Playoffs

Even if the Yankees win, I dont know, it seems like they showed everyone they were nervous throughout the game. I say that because you pull Nova? Hughes? I mean that early? The Yankee offense isnt exactly the Royals. I mean they can score more than 2 runs. I just dont get it.
Also, if the Yankees do win, and they use Sabathia, Hughes, Nova, Mariano, Robertson etc. who pitches Saturday night? Who would be available? I wouldnt want to be down 1 or worse 2 games to 0 in the ALCS.

Looks like CC is next for the yankees

Yup ....

Thats good, a lot of the Tigers hit better against CC.
He throws hard and the Tigers hit the fastball.

And JV as we have heard for days will not be available for tonight

My thoughts exactly ...

You know what I would love. If EVERYONE was told JV couldnt pitch and all of a sudden JV comes in and mows people down!! That would be sweet. Yeah, I know, it wont happen but I can dream.

I heard one report that he may, if he talks his way into it.

Yea...Leyland has made sure everyone knows he is not pitching

Which was a dumb thing to do.

Fister's breaking ball isn't breaking...

 

[Jimbo]

Scherzer is in the pen ...

 

[satjay]

we get it TBS, you want to see CC

 

[Jimbo]

Fister has had this guy out 2 times now and didn't get the call. (Gardner, in the 4th).

 

[satjay]

Whew!!!! That was BIG!!

Popped him up, Fister gets out of the bases loaded jam.

Phew! Fister got out of a big inning. He's done! Hopefully Leyland brings in Scherzer to start the 5th because Fister's breaking ball is no longer breaking, he is no longer finding the strikezone, and he has thrown a lot of pitches.

Yes, his pitch count is around 80 at this point.

Nice to see Jackson with a Double, lets bring the run in!

 

[Jimbo]

Well, first Avilla and now JACKSON with a HIT !

 

[riffjim4069]
