We need to win 2 out 3 here. We have to get back on track. Double Header sunday.

The Pirates suck but Tanaka isn't pitching in this series which means we are in trouble.

I kinda have confidence in Phelps to pitch decent

 

[bksballer89]

We can with this series with Kuroda, Phelps, and Nuno pitching

Tex playing well

 

[purguy12]

Ellsbury is out today

 

[bksballer89]

yeah he got scratched after i posted the lineups

 

[purguy12]

Another HR for Tex. So far good year by him. good to see

 

[purguy12]

Almonte with a HR.

It's a shame this forum only has 3 Yankees fans.

Anyways, the Yankees should sweep this series. They need to. Phelps is doing good so far but will be pulled after 5 innings. Thank goodness for Teixeira's bat and his 9th HR on the season.

Congrats to Almonte and his first career HR!

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah you would think there would be more Yankees fans

 

[bksballer89]

Is Phelps on a pitch limit or not?

 

[bksballer89]

Phelps is in trouble now. 2 on and no outs.

 

[CSD]

Is Phelps on a pitch limit or not?

Certainly seems that way. He's yet to throw more than 90 pitches or 5 innings this season.

 

[obxyankeefan]

Is Phelps on a pitch limit or not?

He was his first start and I would imagine they would add more pitches each start.












I am gonna change my name to ForgottenYankeesfan

 

[CSD]

Woohoo! another Yankees fan has joined.

 

[bksballer89]

This is probably Phelps last inning. If it is I'll be please as long as he doesn't allow a 3 run HR here then we will only need 3 innings from our pen before we get to Robertson

 

[bksballer89]

Good job Phelps.....now go take a shower

 

[CSD]

Another 5 inning game for Phelps. Are we watching the pee wee league?

Yes.

This is the result of the Pitch Count and babying the young arms. If guys are going to get hurt they are going to get hurt, and there is not much the teams can do about it. But this babying MLB has done since Larussa and Duncan introduced the Pitch count drives me up a wall.
