Is Hairston really starting in RF tonight?!

A $200M payroll and Jerry Hairston JR is their 4th OF.

If you haven’t heard, tonight’s Yankee line-up features both Jerry Hairston Jr playing right field in lieu of Nick Swisher and Jose Molina catching instead of Jorge Posada. Now, ordinarily, this would just be a bad move, an overreaction to last night’s poor offensive showing against a great pitcher. But, given the match-ups, this is borderline malpractice.

Good. If the Yanks lose tonight the series is probably over.

Seeing both Molina and JHJ in one of their WS lineups is laughable.

Girardi has really tried to overmanage this postseason

it’s ridiculous how many of his players he uses when it’s not even necessary.

I doubt they hire Clint Hurdle.

Do they want someone on staff with previous managerial experience? After every 3 game losing streak the fans will want Wash fired and replaced by Hurdle.

had a 1-2 count with one out in the top of the 2nd and the Yankee fans got up and got behind him. There’s no way the Ranger fans would ever do that.

Question

Let’s say there were replay. You go to the video, see that it was a short-hop instead of caught on the fly…

What would you then do, to correct the play?

Both runners are safe, yes?

Don’t think Howard went to first, and Posada beat the throw to second.

Right

But Howard didn’t go to first because the umpire said he caught the ball on the fly (although that should have made him go to first base anyway).

Well, then you probably assume the hitter is out

And Posada is safe as second.

that is a very valid question to raise

at the end of the day though…to call 2 outs is terrible no matter how you cut it

Shit, you're right

This is getting comical.

Well

That sucked. Kind of another ugly game for the umps too.
