Series Thread: Derek Jeter & his backup band Damn Yankees 7/28-30

Odor should have taken a strike as bad as Kuroda's control has been. We have to be a smarter baseball team.

I've been barking about this for months: Can't the coaches - 3rd base/dugout - call for the hitter to take a pitch? Sure as hell could when I played.

That man is the dumbest, most thick headed son of a bitch in baseball. I just had flashbacks of Wash keeping the bunt on with Colby hitting in game six with David Freese basically standing on the edge of the batter's box.

There is a lot of that WS I have chosen to forget....ugh.

Nadel is excellent. And I don't expect our TV team (s) to necessarily be excellent. However, IMO they aren't middle of the pack, in my semi-limited experience.

They were bottom 5 with Rhadigan or Barnett in the booth. Busby is decent.

I did too but decided to say nothing. We looked so stupid on that play in the WS. Glad I was not the only one thinking that.

That is just one example of many in that WS how Wash got flat out outclassed that the apologists still haven't managed to come up with an excuse for.

Shitty managing decisions lost that for us.

Yes, there is a sign for that.

Busby sucks out loud man. What on earth are you listening to?

 

[donaldson79]

Yes, there is a sign for that.

Apparently not with the Texas Rangers. Either that or our dumb-ass hitters don't know what it means.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Man, Colby is in a good groove.

Pitching and the ability to overcome bad decisions because we had a great ball team is what got us in the WS. I will always say he is a good clubhouse manager but not in game manager. That 2011 team was awesome.

Nice swing there Robertson....you looked like Martin from the opposite side.

That 2011 team deserved a ring.

He's a great 4th outfielder.

 

[RevSader]

He's a great 4th outfielder.

As 2014 has taught us...can never have too many good 4th OFs.

 

[romeo212000]

Saw that coming.

I want him on our roster next year. No doubt.

 

[RevSader]

Saw that coming.

JPA has been raking this series though. Is his swing really fixed? Who knows...but it's better than what he was doing to start the year.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

But as we have heard from Buzz and Tag in the past we have a lot of 2 out hits. Big deal if it does not lead to runs.

We'll have plenty of time to find out.
