Scoreboard Watching Game Thread: 9/19

[OFFNY]

I have the Gamecast on hoping that the O's will be in sole posession of 1st by the time I leave today but I have to say Toronto's lineup is HORRIBLE without Encarnacion & Bautista....I don't if they win any games this series despite how bad the yankees pitching is. Of couse Encarnacion will be ready by the time they come to Canden Yards.

Pettite is amazing.

Dave Robertson pitched 2/3 of an inning, gave up 4 hits and 2 runs, yet still got credited with a "hold."

Yeah !!! Way to hold 'em, Robertson !!! I don't know what your team would have done without you.

Not feeling too confident about Mr. Romero getting the start for this one ...

Anybody who thought the Yankees were just going to fall apart was engaging in wishful thinking. They have a very easy schedule and we will have to finish extremely strong to keep pace.

Pettite is amazing.

Roger Clemens taught him well. I have no respect for Andy Pettite at this stage.

They won game 1 because Toronto is just that bad. The Yankees did everything they could to give one away. But like you said, they have a favorable schedule. If we keep winning, it will take care of itself. I still think we can get 90-92 wins, and I think that wins the east. I don't think the Yankees get more than that.

Michael Kay complaining that they're not getting non-strikes called as strikes, believes game 1 bad calls should set precedent forever.

Looks like Phelps threw a ton of pitches that inning

[Orioles4Life21]

1-0 Jays.

[WalkofLife]

Wow the Blue Jays are awful. That rundown attempt was terrible.

Edit: Except for Colby Rasmus!

[SoCal]

umps today have been awfully kind to the yankees calling balls & strikes

PITCHES THROUGH 2 INNINGS

Phelps:) 45 (27 Strikes, 18 Balls)

Romero: 39 (22 Strikes, 17 Balls)

Rajai Davis singled to lead off the 3rd inning. They had Phelps at a very high pitch-count, and he tried to steal and got caught.

11 pitches for Phelps that inning. It could have been more.
