vs. YANKEES 9/09

[clapdiddy]

I think I'd tell Davis not to swing at the first pitch. It seems to me that teams purposely not throw anything close to a strike on the first pitch.

[Ori-Al]

Logan threw what, one pitch (to Jones) in the strike zone that inning?

Did these guys not watch the Yankees accept three straight walks earlier in the game?

[LA2]

w/o Markakis the number of awful atbats is going to increase a ton

I'm afraid this is so.

[OFFNY]

Not a fair comparison. Mark is a righy, Davis a lefty, that is why Logan was in there.

I think it is, especially since the first ball that Davis swung at wasn't even remotely close to the strike zone.

Davis looked absolutely awful in each of his last 2 plate appearances against a righty AND against a lefty. What was his excuse then ?

[scOtt]

What the hell was that? :laughlol:

You think Logan doesn't know how hot Mark is. If it is so easy for lefties to lay off sweeping breaking balls then why do so many of them swing at them?

Bordick understatement: "That one got out of hand a little bit." (Arrieta's WP)

Again, what was Davis' excuse in his last plate appearance ? Was that against a lefty with a sweeping curve ball ?

No, it was Davis swinging at anything that was thrown, regardless of where the pitches were ... which he just did again.

[yuds]

Phillips? Why?

[LA2]

We cannot let Ibanez beat us.

Does anyone know what Z. Phillips' best pitches are? Is he a LOOGY?

[scOtt]

Phillips? Why?

Not sure in such a big situation. He was pretty lights out all year tho.

[eddie83]

Blooped to death.

[scOtt]

Not hit hard. :angryfire:

[Slappy]

Boy the Yankees have really blooped their way to this lead. Jeez

Let's move on.
