Freddy Garcia pitches a gem, a gem I tell ya

April 16, 2011

Yankees 5 Texas 2
To start against an aggressive Texas line up, Freddy Garcia came in and confused the heck out of Texas and threw a two hitter through six frames and threw only eighty four pitches. Pretty impressive day for Freddy. If you watch him on the mound today you dont see power, its almost baffling watching him throw in the 80’s and wondering how hitters cant get the barrel on the ball. Freddy is a competitor, a smart pitcher and Yankee fans and organization should look forward to a great year to see what he is capable of. 

Ok so here we go again, Joba comes in the seventh takes care of business strikes out a pair and we head to the eighth and here comes Girardi’s ” eighth inning guy” Soriano and he starts putting runners on the corners and there is Girardi with his stupid stance as he has that look in his face of pure frustation while crossing his arms and I am like, can you get this guy out of here please!!! I dont know whats up with Soriano. He actually is lucky the ball went foul when Beltre almost took him yard to the right side. Maybe he is adjusting to playing in New York? You would think he feel comfortable in the set up role for Mariano but it is almost as if he is the closer and is having a hard time with the pressure as being the man. In that eighth the stands were full of boo’s once again. I dont know, maybe this is getting to him. 
Moving on, Cano sealed the deal in the eighth with a nice HR to the right and Mariano came in once again and got the win.

Hughes has poor outing and A-Rod headed to DL

April 29, 2008

Yanks 4 Tigers 6
Phil Hughes had another poor showing and A-Rod is headed to the DL for 15 days. Cashman and Girardi are now forced to scratch their heads as things have gone pretty bad so far this early in the season. Despite the injuries and rotation problems with the young Hughes and Kennedy, we are not far behind first place. Still, Girardi is getting tested with all these problems and Cashman is now scratching his head trying to figure out the next move.


Is Hughes headed to triple A? I wonder. He doesn’t seem to be relaxing up there on the mound. With A-Rod out now, everyone seriously needs to step up and bring the A game. 

Nobody is hitting!!!

I really expect trades to come sooner than usual. It should be interesting when Hank blows his horn which will come soon, I’m sure. 

Pettitte on the mound tomorrow. Lets get it going. I must say it is nice to be home.

Lets Go Yankees!!
