Nobody's Perfect, But That Game Was Perfectly Awful
Ditulis pada: May 23, 2014
Hello friends foxcarolina, on this occasion the admin wants to share an article entitled Nobody's Perfect, But That Game Was Perfectly Awful, we have made good, quality and useful articles for you to read and take information in. hopefully the post content is about
alfredo aceves,
chicago white sox,
chris sale,
david phelps,
joe girardi,
joe girardi's binder,
yankees,
zoilo almonte, which we write you can understand. Alright, happy reading.
So the Yankees began a 4-game series away to the Chicago White Sox last night, against a pitcher just coming off the Disabled List. True, it was Chris Sale, but they should still have been able to beat him.
Beat him? Until Zoilo Almonte singled with 2 outs in the 6th, we didn't even get a baserunner off him! Sale was pitching a perfect game.
In spite of this, going into the bottom of the 8th, the Yankees were still only down 2-0. As John Sterling teaches us, a 2-run deficit is "just a bloop and a blast." Or a walk and a wallop.
So whatever went wrong last night, we can't blame the Yankees' starting pitcher. The frequently-maligned David Phelps did his job for 7 innings.
But Joe Girardi looked in his Binder, and brought Alfredo Aceves in to pitch the 8th, and the ChiSox scored another run, and we went to the 9th down 3-0, having had just 1 baserunner.
But with 1 out in the 9th, with Ronald Belisario now on the mound for the South Siders, Ichiro Suzuki singled. Jacoby Ellsbury lined out, but Derek Jeter drew a walk. And, just like that, the tying run was at the plate. A passed ball moved the runners over to 2nd & 3rd, and, after 25 outs and just 1 baserunner, the Yankees were in business. And Mark Teixeira singled them home.
Now it was 3-2, with the tying run on 1st (Kelly Johnson pinch-running for Teix), and the potential winning run at the plate.
Unfortunately, the batter was Alfonso Soriano, and I don't think anyone could be surprised when he provided the 13th Yankee strikeout of the night.
WP: Sale (4-0). SV: Belisario (2). LP: Phelps (1-1 -- though Aceves deserved the loss more).
The series continues tonight, at 8:05 PM our time. Hiroki Kuroda pitches against Hector Noesi -- "the other guy" that Brian Cashman sent to Seattle, along with Jesus Montero, for Michael Pineda. Doesn't look like such a bad deal now, does it?
