fathom Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 QUOTE (tommy @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 06:50 PM) Getz had a good day or two, that's about it. Ozzie's done a GREAT job handling Getz at the plate this season by putting on hit-and-run whenever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Lillibridge with Pods 2005 leads...nice to see us disrupting the opposing pitchers a little bit for a change. Brent, you've gotta go there, they have a once a week back-up catcher, have to stay out of DP at all costs.

TylerAtIU Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Can't really tell from gamecast... does Gavin seem to be locating his curveball a lot better today then his last outting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) He's mixing in more curveballs, but he's primarily going with the two seam sinking fastball at 90-91 MPH. He doesn't really seem like he's dominating, but he's certainly pitching effectively against Pena, who is the one batter you don't want to beat you in their line-up...and it would have been nice had Matt Thornton had the time to study the way they're attacking Zobrist, but he's not as dangerous as a LH hitter. Swisher K's (hat trick) with the bases loaded against Pavano in the bottom of the 6th. Edited April 19, 2009 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently the new Yankee Stadium has some sort of wind tunnel out to RF. There are a lot of people really concerned about it. Swisher may benefit.

I like the BA and Lillibridge approach, at least make the pitcher work. Until Thome starts hitting more consistently I'd like to see Konerko or Dye moved up while they are hot.

It seems like he's going mainly fastballs but making them think about the curve, then right when they forget about it, he gets them swinging at a change for strike 3.

caulfield12 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Looks like we're going to be catching the Orioles as they're really cooling off. We have Guthrie, but two other starters we should be able to beat for sure. Yep, Gavin's 85 MPH change-up is starting to become a really devastating part of his arsenal, as he has better control of it than the curveball.
