Watching a Yankee broadcast on YES is like sitting with your hands tied behind your back and hearing sharp nails screeching across a blackboard. Please STOP! The noise from the mouth of the announcers makes you want jump for the remote but you are so drawn to their stupidity.
While waiting for King Chamberlain to emerge as the 8th inning setup man for Rivera, Gerardi traipses 2 bums out until he finally brings in Joba and his now-debunked rules to get the last 2 outs.
Great job by Joba; terrible job by “Mary Kay” and the rest of talking noisemakers. Only on YES.
Back when pitchers were men, the team’s best reliever was the first one out of the bullpen and not the last one. Modern day baseball will soon have a 6th and 7th inning pitchers because 5 innings by a starter is consider a great outing. Geez! On July 2, 1963, Warren Spahn and Juan Marichal faced each other in a game at Candlestick Park between the Braves and the Giants. The Giants won the game 1-0 on a Willie Mays homerun in the bottom 16th inning. Both Spahn and Marichal pitched complete games. Over the last eight innings, Marichal held the Braves to two hits and retired 17 in a row at one stretch. Spahn finished the night having allowed nine hits and just the one, intentional, walk. He struck out two. Marichal gave up eight hits, walked four and struck out 10. Each threw more than 200 pitches, Marichal threw a staggering total of 227 pitches.
When are pitchers going to start being men again?
For what it’s worth, that’s Bubba’s SportsEye View.
