Open Thread: ALCS Game 2 and NLCS Game 1

Verified fact: Every time the Yankees win a game, God gives a puppy leukemia. I won't even tell you the bad part.

With Neftali "Don't call me Felix" Feliz oh so fresh after Ron Washington paraded out 5 other pitchers -- two of them for one pitch each -- in an 8th inning in which the Rangers kept neglecting to record an out, Colby Lewis will try to keep pupples healthy, matched up against Phil Hughes. Oh, and the Rangers have never won a playoff game at home. Ever.

Then Roy Halladay and Tim Lincecum combine for what Tim undoubtedly hopes is a joint effort -- ok, sorry, that was a pot shot -- to start a series in which the favored team has a second baseman whose first name is the same name as my bank. I should note that if this gives you no interest at all, then you're also like my bank.

After last night...

anyone still wish we made Ron Washington manager? Not using your best reliever in the most important part of the game, bunting with a runner on first with a guy with a .390 OBP, PH-ing a lefty against Mo Rivera, who’s much tougher on lefties (though this move “worked”) — all those moves seem almost Gerenesque.

by swatnick on Oct 16, 2010 12:47 PM PDT reply actions  

The decision to bunt was really moronic

Wasting an out against Rivera.

Should have put a speedster in there and stolen 2nd and 3rd. I seem to remeber Rivera throwing the ball away a few times against us in the past when in this situation.

"anyone still wish we made Ron Washington manager?"

I do. Because while I think he’s a poor tactician I don’t think he’s appreciably worse than Geren. Meanwhile, Wash’s players like and respect him and play hard for him. If I’m going to have a manager who makes his hitters bunt too much, I’ll go ahead and take the guy with the leadership skills.

As someone once said – “It was a great experience playing for Bruce Bochy, he is a great manager to play for”. And then made a significant pause.

Derek Jeter is so awful at hitting

If he was such a “true Yankee” not only would he have admitted A-Rod is a better defensive SS and moved to 3B, but he’d also have told them to hit him in the lower 3rd of the order, as Gardner gets on base and is a bigger SB threat than him.

by PL78 on Oct 16, 2010 1:12 PM PDT reply actions  

Yeah and now they have to accomodate the entire team by hitting him leadoff.

I mean, Orlando Cabrera hit #2 for a 1st place team this year so I guess teams can still win despite of their own ineptitude.

by PL78 on Oct 16, 2010 2:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

it's really not.

I mean not that it matters much in the grand scheme, but Rodriguez was a significantly better SS than Jeter was, and moving Jeter would have been the right move except for Jeter being a selfish player.

At some point it goes beyond numbers, otherwise why do people watch?

He was the team captain, he’d had a great career, he still played a decent SS. The fans wanted him to continue to play SS.

Logically it makes sense to move him for A-Rod, but it’s sport. Logic doesn’t really apply – after all we’re watching 18 grown men try to hit a small ball with a bat.

I'd say Jeter is better than 'above average'.

His defence brings him down, but his bat was exceptional for years.

That said – yes, logically he should have moved to 3B. I can understand why they didn’t move him though, which is what I’m trying to get across.

Plus as PL78 says – when you have as much money as the Yankees, you don’t need to squeeze every last player’s production dry like we would.

No

Not always, even when there actually is a real double steal. If I’d realize that, I don’t know, Teixeira is limping in behind Gardner, I’d let Gardner steal third and go for the second.

And, this was a hesitation steal anyway, Andrus only started after Posada threw, so looking him back would not have affected him, only allowed Hamilton to steal.

Meh, I don't have the hate for them you guys do.

I mean sure I dislike them, but sadly I don’t live near enough for that rivalry to affect me.

The Yankees obviously are a terrible choice – buying their way to victory each year. The Rangers are equally bad as they basically cheated……….and they’re in our division. Screw that.

So it’s an NL team for me – not that I really care. I probably won’t watch. I’ll just get irritated when the WS cuts into my American Football coverage.

They had MLB pay for their players when they couldn't afford them.

Sure they went up to auction, which is why the league were willing to do it, but for a number of weeks they were acquiring players they simply couldn’t afford.

I find it annoying, but it’s the kind of thing I’d probably like if the A’s were doing it. HOWEVER, I do NOT approve of the tshirts. They are ugly and awkward. Do not want.
