IGT 7/1/2011: MFY @ NYM -- Watch the 7 Roll

The 7, of course, is batting leadoff. Girardi's nightmare: Jose Reyes, ss Justin Turner, 3b Carlos Beltran, rf Daniel Murphy, 1b Angel Pagan, cf Jason Bay, lf Ronny Paulino, c Ruben Tejada, 2b Jon Niese, lhp

I would love it if referring to José as "The Seven" hit the popular zeitgeist. > The Yankees can't sign The Seven! They've already retired his number! > I know! Waddyagonna do? Dress him 47?! Doesn't work! > Exactly! He's The Seven! It's who he is! His name is his name! > ¡Mis hermanos, viva El Siete! > ¡VIVA EL SIETE!

Frayed Knot Jul 01 2011 02:08 PM Re: IGT 7/1/2011: MFY @ NYM -- Watch the 7 Roll

Since we never got a KTE (at least not yet) Nick Swisher RF -- Slow start, coming on lately. Not only not a real good OFer but he's going to find out that this RF is a helluva lot harder/bigger to cover than the RF in YSIII Curtis Granderson CF -- Fast start but slower June (21 HRs, had 17 at the end of May). Good defense and a definite triples threat in CitiField Mark Teixeira 1B -- Tied for ML lead in HRs Slappy 3B -- What else is there to say about this schmuck that hasn't already been said? Not a great season by his standards although obviously still dangerous. Robinson Cano 2B -- The MVP awarded him for this season during spring training isn't looking too good right now. Had a tough May, better now. Russell Martin C -- Got off to a hot start but showing his true colors since. We'll see Cervelli at least once this weekend. Andruw Jones LF -- Some power now & then but little else. Only 86 ABs for the year. Eduardo Nunez SS -- More power than Jeter, but less OBP (even now) and lots of errors in a short span. Ivan Nova P -- 'John New'. 15 starts; 7-4; 4.26 ERA; 1.45 WHiP. Held us to 3 runs - although 11 hits - over 6.2 IPs earlier in the year.

I want Paulino benched for inexcusable loafing on the bases. I don't care that he's slow; I don't care that he probably would have been out even if he ran as hard as he could. You don't try, you don't play. Make it happen Terry.

Bases loaded for Pagan with two outs in the fifth. If we want to win this game, now is the time.

Honest mistakes are one thing but Layne was running towards third when the play was happening. He was late and out of position. Incompetence is unacceptable.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2011 07:42 PM Re: IGT 7/1/2011: MFY @ NYM -- Watch the 7 Roll

Just coming n from the boozosphere. Missed the tag, but caught Pagan with the bases loaded. I liked him up there, but I can tell early in the at-bat that he was chasing the low curve and they were going to get him on one in the dirt.

How weak that the Yanks are bringing in their seventh pitcher with a five-run one, two out on the seventh, and the tying run still two safeties away.

metirish Jul 01 2011 09:24 PM Re: IGT 7/1/2011: MFY @ NYM -- Watch the 7 Roll

By Adam Rubin Here are quotes to a pool reporter from plate umpire Jerry Layne, who called out Jose Reyes in the seventh inning on a tag apparently missed by Alex Rodriguez. Layne may have been partly screened because he was rotating to cover third base on the play. Your comments on play at third base? "You see what it is," Layne said. "It was a close play at third base, and I'm not going to comment about the ejection. I had him tagging him, you know, on hte side by the belt/buttocks are for an out." The Mets aruged that A-Rod missed the tag? "Yes." You clearly saw a tag? "I called what I saw." That was your call? "That was my call, yeah."

Frayed Knot Jul 01 2011 09:29 PM Re: IGT 7/1/2011: MFY @ NYM -- Watch the 7 Roll

The Reyes play: - probably was safe but it was a dumb chance even if he gets the call there. That's now three times in the last two games he's been erased after getting on. But the biggest PITA about the whole thing is that not only do the Yanx get an extra out despite screwing up but they get one because they screwed up. It's one thing when good things happen because you're playing heads up ball, but they seem to get it when playing heads-up-the-ass ball. I remember Piazza dashing home once on an overthrow and getting thrown out; then there was the whole 'Jeter flip' play which only happened because Shane Spencer missed two cut-off men. Other than that just too many mistakes - too many MFY leadoff men allowed on - no RiSP hits. What'd we have, like 13 baserunners but just one run? Yanx, as usual, bunched their hits. - can't let Ivan Freakin' Nova and the soft part of their pen hold us to one run. - Murphy's error - Boy, good thing Jeter wasn't there, huh? I guess since his replacement went 4-4 Derek would have had 7 hits in 4 ABs

Ceetar Jul 01 2011 09:39 PM Re: IGT 7/1/2011: MFY @ NYM -- Watch the 7 Roll

No problem with Reyes going. 1. he was safe. 2. he's supposed to be aggressive. That's his role. (Nevermind that when he sees the ball bounce of Nunez's foot and realizes he's not going after it there's not exactly time to analyze the relative benefits. He saw a chance to make it, and went. same way he tries to pick up a pitcher's move) Should he never steal, never push a double to a triple especially with two outs? Sometimes it's gonna be an out, but those are the breaks. Think about it for a second if the call goes correctly, Reyes tagged up from first on a fly ball and went to _third_. It was a pretty pivotal moment. It sucked because we didn't score, but all and all it wasn't that horrible. They got hits, got baserunners. Just so happened it was often with two outs. if they'd been leadoff guys, more opportunities to score. Really, the main difference in the game was that the hits/walks the Mets got were with outs, and the Yankees got more leadoff guys on.

Edgy DC Jul 02 2011 08:04 AM Re: IGT 7/1/2011: MFY @ NYM -- Watch the 7 Roll

I agree, though. This team fought and hit and fought and hit the whole game. One break, maybe one and a half, seperated them and the Yankees. We've seen too many Mets team fall behind early and, even though the game is still within reach, go five innings without a baserunner or something. They came up short. And we know that happens. But they made the Yankees use seven pitchers (seven!) in giving up two runs. Keep grinding, good things will happen. Maybe fewer good things against top teams than against others. But the season is long and hard. Oh, and get your players back on the field. That'll help too. And sign Reyes.
