Happy Mother's Day!
I still don’t understand why Stewart keeps his hand out in
the open in the same way Cervelli got injured?
Can anyone explain why nobody has said anything?
Saturday’s game:
Pettitte raised his arm slot a little and he had better movement
on his pitches. It seemed he was getting
lazy with his arm and throwing a little more side arm. He pitched well and looked better not walking
anyone (the umps walked a guy with only 3 balls (I find it impossible that the
Yankees didn’t say anything).
Wells came through with a big 2 run HR with a 3-1 fastball
that was grooved.
Robertson looked great striking out all 3 batters and having
his cutter look a little like Rivera’s.
He also has the good hook. If he
can keep his control he can be dominant.
Rivera had good movement on his ball but KC had good AB’s
dropping a double down the RF going with an outside pitch and just missing
tying the game on line drive pulled down the RF line. The same batter then hit one in the gap that
Wells ran down nicely.
14-14 is amazing for the Genius Maker. He is leading the league in saves (tied with
2 others).
Sunday’s Game:
Wells had another good at the plate and Cano hooked another curve
ball for HR supplying the offense and Kuroda went 7.2 innings and probably
would have finished off the 8th if not for a missed strike call that
he uncharacteristically made it clear right after the pitch he was not happy
and continued as he was pulled for Robertson.
The Genius Maker allowed a groundball single and then
immediately got a DP before a weak fly out ended the game. 15-15!
Yanks have a double header against Cleveland tomorrow so the fact Rivera only
threw 9 pitches means he could be used.
Robertson only threw 2 pitches, so he is OK as well…even if 2 pitches aren’t
much different than 9 pitches.
BTW, I don’t see the Joba and Rivera exchange of words to be
anything important.
