Vargas vs Vazquez, 10:05 am.

Sanity returns. Saunders starts today. Tui goes back to the bench, because its absolutely vital that Lopez and Kotchman keep playing, apparently.

Ichiro, RF
Figgins, 2B
Branyan, DH
Lopez, 3B
Gutierrez, CF
Kotchman, 1B
Bard, C
Saunders, LF
Josh Wilson, SS

    I love how the fat chick sitting in front of the guy who caught the ball (on Branyan’s HR) is telling the guy to throw it back. That’s just moronic.

    You sit up there and you catch a baseball, no way you’re throwing it back.

    Can you imagine sitting way up there and seeing that the ball is actually coming your way? 😀

    Michael Saunders’ first at-bat this morning was JUST HORRIBLE. Mabe it was because he hadn’t played for awhile and it was Yankee Stadium, but he looked like he was going to get sick and vomit in front of us all. Subsequent at-bats followed the same pattern: take the first pitch(fastball-strike), swing at the second pitch(always off the plate) and then try to get a good pitch to hit; which he never did.
    I agree that Saunders has much better tools than Tui, but Saunders’ plate discipline really leaves a lot to be desired.

    Actually it’s a FlashBlock issue – after I whitelisted yesnetwork.com, the video played just fine.

    I refuse to encourage that network in any way, even electronically. I’m ashamed to have even used it.

    I saw that fat woman telling the guy to throw it back. Probably an accountant from Manhattan who wouldn’t get it to the field anyways.

    And on top of that, it’s one hell of a get.

    Girlfriend: “Honey, the ball is coming right at us.”
    Guy: “Nonsense, we’re like 300 feet up, and it’s the M’s hitting.”
    GF: “No, really, it’s coming right this way.”
    Guy: “Okay, but I’m telling you it’s going to be a shallow fly ball to secon-. Holy sh-.”

    Billyboy-he hasn’t played in days, he’s young, but using a few at bats and saying his plate discipline leaves a lot to be desired really is very good analysis.

    He needs to be playing every day. There’s no reason (other than injury) why he shouldn’t be starting every day. He’s a big part of this team’s future. The sooner we get him playing every day the sooner he’ll be able to develop.

    Third grad slam of the year and walkoff single in the 11th today for Yuni. And pigs flew.

    They’re only measuring the Branyan home run at 440 feet, which is pretty nuts because it left the bat at 111mph.
