Freddy Garcia Today, 2013

[Il BuonO]

Weird, when did they pick up Brignac?

When they got sick of hearing Girardi complain about Nunez?

Weird, when did they pick up Brignac?

He was hitchhiking on Rte. 22 in Putnam County when Girardi pulled over and got him in his Cadillac STS.

Yankees have third best record with that lineup. Pretty amazing. Looks like the AAA lineup except for four guys. Almost looks like a split squad spring game lineup.

[NewMarketSean]

Brignac...the newest career scrub to suddenly become good while wearing pinstripes.

[BirdinBama]

Sure wish we had somebody other than garcia to pitch against that bunch. C'est la vie.

[Il BuonO]

He needs to be on a very short leash.

That's exactly what it looks like.

Does Girardi really have 5 lefties at the top of the order? I guess we'll see Matusz or Patton go a while tonight.

I'd love to see Matusz come into the game early assuming Garcia is on a short leash, pitch well for three or four innings and then get the start the next time out.

This team deserves better and the fans deserve better than Freddy Garcia. He doesnt give us a chance to win. Id rather go with Jake or TJ than

this guy. Its obvious he will be hammered as soon as they start timing his slop.

I sure hope the Roy double jinx is in effect still and he goes 7ip 5hits 1 ER

No offense intended Roy. Just hoping for something to make us lucky tonight.

We are paying the price for not re-signing Reynolds and not adding a starting pitcher. I realize we are in a slump, but we have real issues against LHP and with our starting pitching that other than bringing up Gausman we have no solution in these system for these issues.

Yes...our offense is really struggling without Reynolds.

We don't need another starter. We need our starters (Chen, Gonzalez, and Bundy) to be healthy and for Gausman to be ready.

[waroriole]

Good job Freddy. Get him out of there, Buck.

[luismatos4prez]

Reynolds is hitting .151 in the last 10 days with 1 HR.

Ive been a big critic of them not re-signing Reynolds and it may come to pass that we regret it, but lately he's cooled off.

Correction: Mark the Martyr is purposefully lowering himself to the level of mere mortals so that we may further appreciate his future greatness.

Gutsy performance by Freddy tonight. I give him credit, but I'd rather not see him again.
