chirorob Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Oh come on. Great play by Headley and frickin garret jones can't come up with the scoop. 3-1 jays. Tex may be hitting 210, and I realize he needs a day off. But his defense is still stellar. He saved a bad throw by A Rod against boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 RF Aaron Judge: 3-4, 1 R — 10-for-21 (.476) in his last four games Man, if he's still hitting like this after another 100 at bats no reason why he shouldn't be bumped to AAA. One nitpick, like to see him walk more and cut down on the K's. Other than that he's really proving himself. Jump from Single-A to Double-A is a tough one. Starting to get really excited about the prospect of this guy being in the Bronx playing RF everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 @AndrewMarchand Pirela is in the clubhouse. @AndrewMarchand Pirela thinks he's not being activated until tomorrow. Girardi will talk at 5:20 with further details bout time. Can't continue to have two infielders not hitting a lick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Pineda is pitching an absolute gem, good for him. Pretty sure 90% of Tex's hits are XBs, he could certainly flirt with 30+ this year if he somehow can stay on the right side of the injury bug.

Pretty sure 90% of Tex's hits are XBs, he could certainly flirt with 30+ this year if he somehow can stay on the right side of the injury bug.All his singles are taken away from the shift, that's why he's hitting .205, he needs those seeing eye singles to get that BA up. Since the shift has become a thing no one has been hurt more by it than Teixeira. Lay down 3-4 bunt singles in a row and they will stop... dunno why he doesnt do it.

Since the shift has become a thing no one has been hurt more by it than Teixeira. Lay down 3-4 bunt singles in a row and they will stop... dunno why he doesnt do it. Texiera figured out the best way to beat the shift, just hit more homers. His average has always been pretty abysmal the first month or two of the season, and while I just don't think even with how he's hitting he'll ever get back above .235 or so, as long as he's slugging close to .600 I'm okay with it.

Jetlife33 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Give me this tex over him hitting .230 with no power because he's trying to hit to left. Power, taking walks, good defense. At this point in his career sign me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This current production isn't sustainable. You can not expect him to slug near .600 all year. Sooner or late he's gonna have to put together hits. He got 18 hits. And 10 of them are home runs and 5 of them are doubles. He's gotta sprinkle in more singles for that batting AVG and OBP to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gotta sprinkle in more singles for that batting AVG and OBP to improve. Of course it's not sustainable, he's not 30 anymore, my point was that I'm not too worried about his batting average as it's been sh*t for 7 or so years as long as he's slugging at a decent clip. His entire problem is he's a dead pull hitter from the left side and is not going to just start laying down bunts or hitting it to the other side, it's too unnatural for him. He hits for solid average and less power as a righty, it's just that's the less of the platooned sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 • Chase Headley didn’t come in for ninth-inning defense because his back was bothering him after last night’s diving play at third base. Headley said it’s no big deal and isn’t the same as the back issue that lingered with him in San Diego. Girardi said he expects Headley to play tomorrow. “Just sore,” Headley said.

Jetlife33 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 • Worth noting that Petit’s injury could make the move simple for activating Jose Pirela tomorrow. “We’ll wait and see what we’ve got tomorrow (before announcing a move),” Girardi said.

Jetlife33 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 • This game seemed well in hand with a 6-0 lead in the ninth, but David Carpenter’s brutal night forced the Yankees to bring Andrew Miller in for a one-out save. Miller needed just nine pitches for his 11th save of the season. “It’s not what you want to do, but we had to,” Girardi said. “And we won the game, and that’s the most important thing.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
