Jetlife33 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 UPDATE, 1:18 p.m.: Three runs on three hits and a walk off CC Sabathia in the first inning. He was hit hard several times. Hard triple. Hard double. RBI single. UPDATE, 2:06 p.m.: After that three-hit first inning, Sabathia’s allowed just one hit through the next three innings. It’s still a 3-0 Nationals lead in the bottom of the fourth. UPDATE, 2:09 p.m.: Chase Headley’s terrific spring continues with an RBI double.

Jetlife33 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Yesterday, Joe Girardi confirmed the Yankees will start the season with lefty Andrew Miller and righty Dellin Betances as co-closers, something he’s been hinting at since even before Spring Training. The eighth and ninth innings will be based on matchups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Slade Heathcott was named the 2015 James P. Dawson award winner as the best rookie in Spring Training, so congrats to him. Masahiro Tanaka won last year, Vidal Nuno the year before that. In fact, Heathcott is the first position player to win the award since Jon Weber in 2010.

Jetlife33 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Sabathia is taking over Derek Jeter‘s old locker at Yankee Stadium, which is prime real estate because the locker is extra wide and near the exit. “Everybody’s making a big deal about the Derek locker — I mean, I know, it’s important to the fans. But I don’t think we need to designate it ‘the locker,'” said clubhouse manager Rob Cucuzza. [Barbarisi] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 The backup catcher decision is coming tomorrow(4/4) , according to Joe Girardi. John Ryan Murphy and Austin Romine both caught today(4/3), though Murphy started and caught Sabathia. Will Romine still be in the organization 24 hours from now?

Jetlife33 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 • Andrew Bailey was charged with three runs on a hit and two walks in his final appearance of the spring. Didn’t help him that Nick Goody allowed a three-run home run that brought in two of Bailey’s runners. Still, an encouraging spring for Bailey, who will stay behind to get more work done here in Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Tanaka's elbow is ready to shred in season-ending Tommy John surgery, Texiera is a weak popout to the shifted shortstop in shallow right waiting to happen and CC, Betances and Miller cannot get anyone out. A-rod might be the best player, and for reasons known only to their braintrust they will not bring up Reffsnyder(recall Jeter was a butcher with the glove, it worked out; not to say Reffsnyder is on the cusp of a HoF career but how many old guys need to falter before this guy gets the shot he's earned).

Jetlife33 Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Sabathia's main problem this spring has been location. Which is understandable considering all the time he's missed and the fact he's thrown only about 10 innings this spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really need Tex to stay healthy and have a bounce back season. Anything from ARod would be a plus. If C.C. can stay on the mound, they could be alright. Same for Pineda really.... Play Ball!

Morrissey Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Sad to see Tanaka as a junkballer. Expensive one too. He's not gonna overpower anyone this year if he's not gonna throw his 4-seamer. His breaking stuff is so good, but hitters will just wait for that batting practice 2-seamer and crush it. Lineup is even sadder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
