Jetlife33 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 • Alex Rodriguez on Sabathia: “I haven’t been around much the last two years, so it’s hard to think about how these guys feel and what they’re doing. But I know CC’s always a big part of what we do, and he’s part of our DNA. And I thought the ball exploded out of his hand today just from third base.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 • Girardi said he wasn’t sure whether Sabathia was getting an extra day of rest, but he was pretty sure Sabathia would be starting one of those long road trip games coming up, either Sunday against the Mets or Monday against the Nationals.

Jetlife33 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 • Girardi wasn’t positive, but said he was pretty sure Esmil Rogers would start on Thursday. So it’s Masahiro Tanaka tomorrow, then Rogers the next day, but the rotation is unannounced beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 • Another positive outing for Chris Martin. The tall right hander who seems to have a shot at a spot in the big league bullpen went two innings with one hit and three strikeouts. He walked none.

Jetlife33 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 “I didn’t (expect it),” Sabathia said. “But I was, I mean, really nervous. More so than normal. That was kind of weird, but I think it’s just be being back out here and wanting to be with my teammates and just being my first game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 CC gave up runs yesterday but was topping out at 96. I have to say that's encouraging. 2 pitches at 96. Everything else was around 90-92. I still wonder if those two 96 pitches were legit or just a faulty spring training gun. A scout in attendance had CC topping out at 93. With that said, 90-92 and an occasional 93? Sign me up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Tonight will be Bailey’s spring debut with the Yankees. He spent all of last year rehabbing after shoulder surgery, and he signed back on a fresh minor league contract to get a fresh look and a new opportunity. Bailey said he still believes he could have enough time to make the Opening Day roster. Joe Girardi said it’s possible, but he seemed to be setting lower expectations.

Jetlife33 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 • Masahiro Tanaka is scheduled to 45-50 pitches tonight. Girardi said he has no plans of asking Tanaka to throw fewer splits given the elbow issue. “I don’t think you can ask him to stop pitching the way he pitches because I think,” Girardi said. “As a pitcher, you feel like you’re going out there without all your weapons, and that probably is not great for confidence. So I don’t think you can really do that.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Jacoby Ellsbury went for an MRI and has been diagnosed with a low grade oblique strain, the Yankees announced. He’ll be shut down for the next seven days. Opening Day is 18 days away now, so there’s still time for Ellsbury to rest, heal up, and get ready for the start of the season. Any sort of setback might force him to start the regular season on the DL, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Didi Gregorius and Brian McCann led the way offensively. Didi went 3-for-3 with a triple and McCann went 2-for-2 with two walks and a two-run homer. Stephen Drew also mashed a two-run tater. Brett Gardner went 1-for-3 with a walk, Chase Headley went 1-for-2 with a walk, both Mark Teixeira and Garrett Jones went 1-for-3 with a double, and Chris Young went 1-for-3.

Jetlife33 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 The Yankees pummeled the Braves 12-5 on Wednesday night. Masahiro Tanaka made his second start of the spring and was fantastic, allowing two hits in 3.2 scoreless innings, striking out three. He looked as strong as ever. Andrew Bailey made his spring debut — it was his first game action since July 2013 — and allowed an unearned run on two hits in an inning of work. The television gun had him at 92-93, which would be amazing after a torn shoulder capsule if true. His curveball was all over the place though. “Rusty” is the word I would use to describe how Bailey looked. - RAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
