Here we go at George Steinbrenner field again. With as dead as the bats went yesterday (Alvarez, Tábata and Friday notwithstanding), I wonder if we can get anything going against Sabathia?
Pirates Lineup
- Andrew McCutchen CF
- Ronny Cedeño SS
- Lastings Milledge LF
- Garrett Jones RF
- Andy LaRoche 3B
- Jeff Clement 1B
- Bobby Crosby DH
- Delwyn Young 2B
- Jason Jaramillo C
Pitching: Charlie Morton, Brian Burres, D.J. Carrasco, Donnie Veal, Bryan Morris
Yankees Lineup
- Derek Jeter SS
- Nick Johnson DH
- Jorge Posada C
- Alex Rodríguez 3B
- Curtis Granderson CF
- Nick Swisher RF
- Randy Winn LF
- Juan Miranda 1B
- Kevin Russo 2B
Pitching: C.C. Sabathia, Boone Logan, Dustin Moseley, Héctor Noesi, Royce Ring, Romulo Sánchez
It will be good to get more looks (listens) at Morton, Morris and Veal. I also want to see how Clement continues to fare at first base, and you gotta love the Cutch! Does anyone know what the deal is with Canó? Is he injured or have we just happened to play the Yankees when he hasn't played?

sweet
just discovered this one is televised!
Jason
The Hanging Curve
on YES
but I’ve got mlb.tv
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Cutch
watches a strike, ball, and then laces a drive up the middle for a single.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
How much did you have to pay for mlb.tv. I’d like to get it but don’t really think it would be worth it for me.
I got the premium package for 109
which is 10 bucks off, because I’m a previous subscriber. It’s worth it to me because otherwise I would see zero Pirates games a year because I live in the west.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
it's 99
for the regular package, and so long as your internet connection can support it the premium is as good as 720 HD, so I figure I might as well pay 10 more for it.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Cedeño apparently wanted to swing
swung at one ball and almost another, but takes 1-2 pitch down the left field line. 2nd and third for Milledge.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Milledge
pokes a nice ball through the right side, scores Cutch and advances to second when Swisher skies the throw over cutoff man
Jason
The Hanging Curve
lmao
inside fastball was just crushed. C.C. looking pretty frustrated.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
wait
not sure whats going on here…
mlb gameday says brandon jones, dejan says garrett, so I m inclined to go with garrett
nope
it was definitely Garrett
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Is that two hits for Jones, and two HRs with runners on? Maybe he’ll stop hitting only solo shots this year…
law of averages I guess
he’s bound to him ’em with runners on sometime
Jason
The Hanging Curve
LaRoche
gunning for CC: broken bat splinter almost hits Sabathia, one out. Clement pops up first pitch, two outs.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Delwyn
was trying to pull one. He pulled a nice ball well foul and then rolled over a grounder to third.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
92 mph fastball
Jeter grounds out to third. Morton also tossed a curve for a ball; that’s a sweet looking pitch.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
huh
nice changeup from Morton, but Johnson just gets it over the RF fence for a homer, 4-1 Pirates
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Delwyn
lumbers out for a ball to his right, but it gets by him. Posada on first, 1 out.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Morton
walks A-Rod. Trying to nibble it looks like (who can blame him though, it’s A-Rod).
The Yankees’ announcers are claiming that Morton is fighting to “open eyes” and make the roster.
Nice inside two seamer rings up Granderson looking.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
bahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
right.
But yeah, they are really annoying. “The Yankees totally deserve to win the next 52 championships in a row. The universe owes it to us. Every team besides us is terrible.”
Jason
The Hanging Curve
to be clear
I’m laughing at the idea that WE are the ones that got fleeced by that trade. When I reread it that’s not entirely clear.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Swisher
hits a ball to right, McCutchen misplays the hop but with no ill consequence. Posada scores, 4-2 Pirates.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Winn
flies out to LF.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Jaramillo
grounds out to third.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
McCutchen
nice patient at bat to work it full, grounds to Jeter who barely gets the throw in time.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
the Yankees' announcers:
“The Pirates are trying to get back on track, but the fans are having to learn a whole new group of faces and stars.” What, like the Yankees don’t cycle through free agents like dirty socks?
Cedeño strikes out, going to bottom of the 2nd.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Russo
K’s on a 94 mph high fastball. Morton looks like he settled down quite a bit.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Morton goes 1-2 on Jeter
then fields his chopper, end of the second 4-2 Pirates.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
it was to his side
but not spectacular.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Milledge strikes out
Garret Jones takes 2-1 pitch to LF and Winn can’t catch it. Jones gets to second.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
LaRoche
knocks one up the middle, Granderson throw is not great, but the catcher doesn’t catch it either so Jones scores. Posada pulled a Paulino.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Clement draws a walk
1st and second, one out…we chase Sabathia out. Good job Bucs!
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Moseley
Ks Crosby. Tough pitch, looked a little outside to me.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Young
drives one at Granderson, three out, Pirates 5-2.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Johnson
has Morton’s number apparently. Cranks a fastball pretty far into the RF stands. Pitch was supposed to be in, it just drifted over the middle of the plate.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
who all has pitched for the buccos to day other than morton
Players who should be in the Hall of Fame: Pat TIllman, Dwight White, Donnie Shell, L.C. Greenwood, Ray Guy, Steve Tasker, Greg Llyod, Andy Russel, Cris Carter, Kevin Greene and Jerry Kramer

no one else yet
Morton is in his third inning
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Morton
walks Posada on five pitches. He looks a little shaken up, having a lot of trouble locating.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Nice recovery against A-Rod
first pitch changeup on the outside corner. 1-2 pitch hit right at Delwyn, who somehow manages to nearly muck up the double play, but they get it. Two down.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Granderson
grounds to Cedeño, who does his best to commit a throwing error, but Clement makes a real nice pick on the ball. He sure looks pretty smooth over there so far for not being too experienced at first. End of the third, 5-3 Bucs.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Jaramillo
bounces a single up the middle.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
McCutchen chops to third
fielder’s choice gets Jaramillo but no chance on McCutchen.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Cedeño
slaps a single into the gap, but cut off. Not sure why Cutch froze on the line drive, but it didn’t really make any difference. 1st and third, here comes Milledge.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Love the YES annnouncers...
and how they say Cutch’s instincts are off…based on one play…in Spring Training!
Idiots.
yeah that's good stuff
Like I said, not sure why he froze, but just watch his at bats. He has such great pitch recognition and patience. No way his “instincts” are off.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
lots of choppers
Milledge skies a chop to score Cutch and stay out of the DP. Ronnie moves to second.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Cedeño gets picked off by Posada
leaves Jones in the box. 6-3 Pirates.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Burres
walks Swisher
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Miranda out somehow
and then Russo walks. Going 2-0 on Jeter now, he can’t hit the plate.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
I think he is just afraid to challenge righties. He’s much more aggressive against lefties.

Jeter bounces to LaRoche
throws it strong to first. One run scores. Two outs.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
curveball way up in the zone
Weber crushes a double to the LF fence. Game tied. Thanks VV 2.0.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
who is the guy pitching and why is not out of the game yet

Burres
don’t know why he’s still in there. Gotta get a full inning I guess.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Posada
laces a single to Milledge (off 3-2 count at that). 7-6 Yankees. Finally pulling him.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
A-Rod
way behind on a Uviedo fastball. That is, after he almost skies the first fastball over Jaramillo.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
I would have thought the bull mascot was standing back there on that pitch.
by Blyleven Curve Ball on Mar 9, 2010 2:42 PM EST up reply actions
Uviedo
Anyone know about how hard Uviedo throws? He seems to be wingin it. I wish they had radar guns at ST games…
they did earlier
but for some reason the little YES scoreboard isn’t showing anymore.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
As a reliever he sat around 94. When he was starting last year it was more like 90-92.
by WTM on Mar 9, 2010 2:44 PM EST up reply actions
Clement picks up
a dribbling grounder to get Rodríguez.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Jones
fouls out to catcher.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
three generous calls for Ring
to strikeout LaRoche looking
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Clement grounds out to third on the second pitch
I guess the ump wants to get out of here now. Strikezone looks huge. At least for their pitchers.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
I noticed that during the first game of ST
is Clement not Clment

Carrasco pitch
crushed into gap for a triple by Granderson
Jason
The Hanging Curve
uviedo gets one batter
:(
i d like to see bryan morris have a go before this game gets blown out and the Yanks take it easy…
Swisher
Ks and the field mic catches a word of his frustration.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Does that mean we’ll have a week of congressional hearings?
by WTM on Mar 9, 2010 2:54 PM EST up reply actions
nice curve
or maybe slider to strikeout Winn
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Save the triple, his pitches looked pretty sharp.
by Blyleven Curve Ball on Mar 9, 2010 2:55 PM EST up reply actions
unlike Burres
it seems like he might make the ’pen
Jason
The Hanging Curve
broken bat grounder to first
and we manage another scoreless inning. Yankees 7-6, end of the fifth.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Crosby
skies out to second. Looks like there is Raynor in right, Tábata in center, and probably more. The announcers claim they will be “documenting the subs” but they are lying again.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Delwyn Young
flyout left field. Worked the count full nicely, but couldn’t catch up with fastball (which was clocking 96-98)
Jason
The Hanging Curve
it's Romulo
I don’t remember him ever throwing that hard for us.
He K’s Jaramillo in the dirt, check swing did not check.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Carrasco
downs Corona on strikes.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Carrasco’s gonna get drunk if he downs a Corona every strike he throws. (Sorry…I couldn’t resist. Unfortunately…work got in the way of commenting in real time).
I'm glad you brought it up
I almost made a joke there but instead just reported what happened
Jason
The Hanging Curve
by poorboywilly on Mar 9, 2010 10:41 PM EST up reply actions
Carrasco
sidearms a slider to K Nuñez.
These YES tools are claiming Cutch only has four tools. I guess they don’t like his arm?
Jason
The Hanging Curve
I think they consider Yankeeness a tool
Derek Jeter is a six-tool player.
Carrasco takes a Weber comebacker
to end the sixth. 7-6 Yankees.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Tábata three pitch K
Romulo still in throwing 96
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Díaz
finally gets the idea and takes a few from Romulo, takes a walk and chaces him out. Maybe it’s the glasses? He’s lost them.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Jones
the Brandon variety grounds into a 4-6-3 DP.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
I thought we were gonna see a fight right there… could anyone here who called that? at work so my sound is off.
well
I thought Giménez based on the staredown, but I didn’t see his mouth move, so I guess Pearce.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
nice inning Veal
popup, flyout, foul out to catcher. Giménez got run into by Pearce but he still caught the ball, then gave quite the staredown to Pearce.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Why watch the game only once...
…when the YES network replays (parts of) even meaningless ST games? This was a very good inning f/Veal – 6 pitches, all well-located. Admittedly against some mere ortal batters, but still…
Raynor
beats out slow roller to second. Alvarez at the plate.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Pedro
looks silly on a breaking ball in the dirt. One down.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Pearce hangs in nicely
walks. First and second for Crosby
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Gorecki
takes a circuitous at best route on a Crosby drive. Would’ve been a tough play even if he ran it down well. Game is tied, 2nd and third for Bernier.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
grounder to third
High throw gets Pearce in safe. 8-7 Pirates lead. 1st and third for Giménez.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Bernier steals second easily
Giménez lines sharply to second. Pitching change.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Veal very wild in the 8th
Starts the inning with 6 balls.
Tábata
real nice AB, got down 0-2 but fouled off a bunch of pitches and laid of a couple outside breaking pitches. However, the result is a lazy fly ball to center.
These idiot announcers are talking about Tábata like he’s Steve Pearce. “Just hasn’t become what everyone thought he could be yet. Just gotta keep going out and trying to prove he is that guy.” DUDE, HE’S 21. He’s played well in the minors. I’m not worried at ALL about Tábata yet. Actually quite excited.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
lineout to first
then a steal attempt but Veal picks him off. Two down.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Veal gets out of the inning
Soft liner to Pearce, picks off a runner at third, gets a soft groundout
Díaz basehit
to left center
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Pedro
laces a first-pitch RBI single to right
Jason
The Hanging Curve
strikeout
then Bernier rolls to 2B but Vasquez simply drops the throw for an E3. First and second, two outs.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Giménez cranks a single to left center
Pedro scores, first and third, two outs. 12-7 Pirates.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Tábata flies out to right
bottom of the ninth and Morris coming up.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
I think
I don’t need to see this Michael Strahan bat commercial anymore
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Claggett out for the 9th apparently
Nunez hits a slow chopper to 3rd. Pedro charges, barehands, makes a nice strong throw to 1st for the out.
Pedro
makes a real nice play barehanding a high chopper, strong, accurate throw to beat Nuñez.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
RRRRRRRRRRRrraise the jolly roger!
two fly balls nearly to the warning track are caught by Tábata and Raynor. Pirates win 12-7
