that outing was awful. And after the topsy turvy season of a yr ago, I think his stock has dropped a bit.

Giambroids with the roid rocket. 2nd and 3rd, 0 out.

If he started to get big innings his weaknesses may be exposed. But I guess there is no way to know unless you give him a shot.

agreed. Bruney is a guy who will give up the walk, but you still have to earn it. Farns will walk you on 4 pitches that arent even close. And Farns has proven that he can be hit. his 4 seamer looks like a beach ball cause it doesnt move. Bruney has movement and deception.

Giambi's spot better not come up in a big situation later in the game, or we'll be calling for Torre's head.

I agree with the move this time. 0 outs and 2 runners on is the right time. When he gets me is when he does it with 2 outs.

[yankees228]

Dammit, give me a break.

Joe will be even more reluctant to do that against a righty than he was against a lefty.

Minky is more likely to hit into a DP. Phelps is more likely to hit a flyout or K. Phelps likely doesnt end this inning. Minky will.

[yankees228]

A squeeze, even though it's bases loaded, might not be the worst idea. Minky's a good bunter.

[jacksonianmarch]

Minky is hitting in Coco territory.

[jacksonianmarch]

I hate Torre.

[yankees228]

Ugh, I thought be might throw that one away.

[yankees228]

The weaknesses, even in a lineup like the Yankees, always seem to get exposed.
