Toronto Blue Jays at New York Yankees, Jul 5, 2009 1:05 PM EDT
So another day, another starter on the DL. This is getting beyond where it is a joke. Has every starter on the team been on the DL at some point this year? So Brett Cecil starts today. Should be an interesting game again, hopefully with a better ending than the last two.
Richard Griffin has a piece about Aaron Hill's bunt last night. Apparently he did it on his own. I'm not a big fan of that.If the manager has you bunt, that's one thing. If he doesn't, maybe there is a reason for it. Maybe he doesn't want to take the bat out of Adam Lind's hands.
"(Manager Cito Gaston) comes to me every day and says, `Look, swing it. We don't want you to do that.' Obviously in certain situations ... I look back on the (Phillies game) and I should have done it myself. Those are situations – I know they're not going to come up very often – in a big game like that to move the runner.
It guess a little mutiny is a good thing but I really think players should leave managing to the manager.
We get treated to David Dellucci and Raul Chavez at the bottom of the order again.
The title's from John Lennon's song New York City, not one of his better efforts but they can't all be Imagine.

Block voting probably denies Hill a deserved all-star appearance.
Pedroia got in.

so anyone think that it is something cito is doing that is causing all the injuries?
his rep last time round was someone that overworked pitchers but I think he’s been fine with them this time
by Tom Dakers on Jul 5, 2009 1:28 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
i do not think Richmond, Janssen, Litsch were due to overuse
i think the Halladay tweak was due to overuse
i do think that ball players generally, need to work on their physical fitness more
there is a video on the Jays site that shows Lind and (Accardo, I think) in the weight room … they are talking about the best giveaways … anyhow .. they do not look that super fit to me … i see plenty of folks at the gym, who are not pro athletes, that look more developed

If the other manager

Although I think there's official scorer's judgment.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.

Thx
Seems funny that the middle reliever who maybe pitches the 5th and 6th gets the win, even if Cecil leaves the game after 4 with the win.

is a throw back to the days starter were supposed to finish...if they didn't go 5 they had an awful game
by Tom Dakers on Jul 5, 2009 3:13 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ya, but we still expect the starter to go 6 or 7
Gone before the 5th is not good, particularly at this stage in the season.

We have 8 runs and 10 hits.
And we are leading by just one run.
What a nutty game.

or just picked up after being released by his previous team?

I still pin this on Dellucci
Raul has two doubles this game so he can be forgiven. But Dell needs to make contact with that ball and put it in play.

If I'm a Yankees fan
I’m pissed at Posada. There is no need for him to try for home there. A rookie pitcher, a team that is struggling, a wacky game of errors and tons of scoring… why rush home?
