Gameday Thread: Yankees (9-8) "@" O's (9-7)

New York Yankees @ Baltimore Orioles


Game time is 7:05 on MASN2. And you KNOW that Papa Jim will be back in the MASN booth tonight. He wouldn't miss a chance to hobknob with the Yankees and wish he'd been one.

398cd95c86eed66c16824a2023cd2c41-getty-80324182jr001_medium  Capt 

Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA BB K W-L
Phil Hughes - RH 3 11 9.00 2.18 .340 8 9 0-2
Daniel Cabrera - RH 3 16.2 5.94 1.68 .239 12 11 0-0

The Yankees teed off on Cabrera last season, as he went 1-3 with a 6.67 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in five starts. In his 27 innings against New York, he gave up 32 hits, walked 17 and struck out 18.

Hughes doesn't turn 22 until June. He had a solid first splash in the majors in 2007, but has been lit up early on in '08. But don't let his numbers fool you into thinking this guy can't dominate. He's really, really good.

Joe LaPointe at the NY Times has dropped a bombshell: attendance at Camden Yards is down? Losses are piling up in Baltimore! Check the records, skeech. (I know, I know. Reality. F the Yankees.)

LET'S. GO. O'S.

There is a God. Millar, you’re next. I can’t wait for Scott to bat cleanup.

“16 hits and 12 walks in sixteen innings. That’s a lot of baserunners, when you put it all together. The walks and the hits.”

Someone should create a stat!

Cabrera is brining it tonight

Maybe a little early to say he’s bringing it tonight?

Let’s see how he responds to Abreu getting on from a grounder.

Good job, Luis.

No shit, Sherlock.

I really wish Gary and Jim wouldn’t try to find awful fault in him walking a lot. Whoop, Jim says it: “He’s gonna take walks. And why not.”

But shit. Nothing else works. He cannot master offspeed stuff so I guess this is what they have to work with.

the other things to talk about

“He sucks.”

“He has ‘potential.’”

This is a game where you can’t really talk about Cabrera’s potential. Hughes is 21.

I mean, I know he has a legit great hitting eye. But come on. Pitch to him. The man can’t hit. Occasionally he’ll pop a home run.

I really like that AT&T has caught up enough to use a two-year old Lupe Fiasco hook for their commercial. I feel like they’re with the times and offering me a good product.

Do all of our hitters have a good eye?

Or does Hughes’s curveball kinda suck ass?

I think Palmer is right on

It has good movement and everything, but maybe guys are seeing it coming and laying off.

White Sox radio

Steve Stone took some jabs at Palmer yesterday, saying he introduced Gavin Floyd to Palmer, and that he left the conversation “somewhere around the dinosaurs. And then came the ice age, and then came Jim Palmer as a Baltimore Oriole winning a million games and a bunch of Cy Youngs. And he did get that in!”

Now that Luis is hitting .207, it sure is amazing how quiet talk of the surprising Luis Hernandez has been. It’s as if he doesn’t even exist there’s so little about him.

He takes every opportunity he can find to talk about New York and Boston. And Jim is more than happy to oblige in saucy Yankee talk.
