[You Play to Win the Game]

Sabathia vs. Garcia

[Adam Wolff]

Would love a good series to get some of the bad taste out of my mouth from the last 2 series, but could be tough. Hoping for the best.

I have a softball game at 8 PM. I'll be done in and my car somewhere around 9 PM. If I turn the radio on and hear we are winning I'll be rather surprised.

Lineups per Roch:

 

Yankees:

Gardner - 8

Cano - 4

Hafner - DH

Overbay - 3

Granderson - 7

Adams - 5

Ichiro - 9

Brignac - 6

Romine - 2

 

Orioles:

Markakis - 9

Machado - 5

Hardy - 6

Jones - 8

Davis - 3

Wieters - 2

Valencia - DH

Pearce - LF

Casilla - 2B

 

Casilla is 14-24 vs. Sabathia... and Hardy has a career .893 OPS vs. Sabathia in 28 career AB's, and has been hot lately (1.025 OPS in his last 13 games).

That's a real interesting lineup.  Probably the most massaging Buck has done to the lineup this season in regards to how the players hit against the night's starting pitcher.

Optimistically hoping for 2 of 3. Not too concerned yet, we had this kind of bad stretch around this time last year. Even though I'm checking scores and stuff, great part about being on vacation, is it makes this stuff less painful. I'd be even more upset if I were home now.

Gardner to Jones. 1 down.

[You Play to Win the Game]

I'll take a 1-pitch AB from Gardner every time. 

[BSLChrisStoner]

Cano makes it 1-0 NY, going out to left.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Nick in to get the looper from Hafner. 2 down.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Overbay swinging  ends the Yankee 1st.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Nice recovery after the gopher ball to Cano... 15 pitch inning... I'll take it. 

[BSLChrisStoner]

Markakis flies out. 1 down.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Nicky pulls a "Gardner" and takes the first pitch to CF. Geez.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Manny follows with a fly out of his own.  2out.

Speaking of weather, definitely feel terrible for everyone in Oklahoma impacted by those tornadoes. Crazy stuff going on down there right now, just terrible.

This one might be a long one.

After the Adams home run, the O's chances of winning tonight's game went from 41.9% to 32.2% according to Fangraph's game graph.
