Series Thread: Yankees @ White Sox 5/22 - 5/25

[CSD]

Game 1:
Phelps 1-0 3.33 vs
Chris Sale 3-0 2.30

Sale hasn't started since 4/17


Game 2:
Kuroda 3-3 4.61 vs
(former Yankee) Hector Noesi 0-4 7.31

Game 3:
Nuno 1-1 5.82 vs
John Danks 3-4 5.64

Game 4:
Tanaka 6-1 2.39 vs
Rienzo 4-0 4.00


I'd like to see them win 3 out of 4 but a split is more likely, esp with the offense on the down side lately.

3 out 4 would be nice.

Pitching match-ups all favor us except for this game

 

[bksballer89]

Phelps looked good tonight but unfortunately Sale was better.

2 runs in 7 IP is usually good enough for a win

It's hard to believe Sale was as dominant as he was last night. I was expecting some rust being on the shelf for a month.

 

[CSD]

Kuroda is washed up. We either need to trade for a pitcher or consider this season done already.

What a disappoint.

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah I was about to say that. Kuroda is clearly no longer good. His first 2 years here, he was just crappy towards the end of the season......This season he crappy all year long

 

[CSD]

Gave up 8 hits in only 4.2 IP and his ERA is 4.55

 

[bksballer89]

we got back the lead

 

[bksballer89]

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bksballer89]

Wow this offense sucks

 

[bksballer89]

I don't know how we did it but we pulled out a victory after being down 3-0 entering the 9th

 

[CSD]

I watched the entire game. the Yankees offense is in a major slump, and a win like today could energize them. It's a shame Nuno's quality start was wasted and not worthy of a win. 7 IP and the 3 ER in the first inning.

Kudos to Betances. this guy has been the ace of the bullpen. 2 more K's today in his 1 IP.
On the season so far, 3-0 1.65 ERA 27.1 IP 47 K's

Either way, we pick up a game on Baltimore and remain 2 back of the Jays. I'll take it.

 

[bksballer89]

The good thing is that our fill in starters have been pitching well. Nuno & Phelps been decent so once Pineda comes back soon our pitching will be good enough to get wins as long as the hitters produce

 

[CSD]

Any timetable on his return? I haven't heard much.

CC I heard not till mid July the earliest.

 

[bksballer89]

I know he was doing some throwing last week but I'm guessing sometime in June

 

[purguy12]

This was a nice win. I was cursing all game and then we had the big 9th. After losing last night we needed this win.

 

[bksballer89]

If you guys think we have it bad just remember it can be worse.....just see the red sox
