The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET and can be seen on WPIX Channel 11 and of course MLB TV.

  1. Eovaldi hitting 101 MPH on the gun in the first inning. Struck out Ortiz. It's just a couple batters but it's a good start for him.

  2. Took one inning to learn that Eovaldi lacks a put away pitch. Worked from ahead most of the first inning but couldn't put many hitters away.

    1. Daniel, he has one but isn't using it...the HIGH FASTBALL! He goes low with it most always. Not many can get on top of a 96/100 high fastball but will swing at it more than they would any other pitch because it is in their eyes and can see it very well. He also has to get C&C of his splitter and slider!
      Hopefully, he can improve or it is going to be a long year!

    2. He threw a ton of high fastballs but he was going to his slider (or maybe it was a changeup I couldn't tell) with two strikes. He froze Ortiz for one K but everyone else was on it.

    3. Daniel, he threw high fastballs...just above the belt!
      The one hitters swing at and don't do much with is the one around the shoulders. There is much more to it than just putting the ball around the shoulders, the guy has one hell of an arm now he needs to learn how to pitch!

    4. He threw them, he just didn't with two strikes.

  3. Headley must lack baseball intelligence. He got picked off.

  4. Gardner does too. Bottom of the 8th, down by one and Gardner gets thrown out stealing 2nd base.

    1. And picked off 1st base in the 16th(?).

    2. There is a difference, Gardner sucks as a base runner as he should've stole last night a few pitches before he was picked off. Gardner does lack baseball IQ on the bases

    3. Ken H...
      It is base running instincts, not IQ. Base stealing is as much instincts as it is speed.
      The top ten all-time Base Stealers were not the fastest runners, they knew when and how to run the bases...Rickey Henderson, Ty Cobb and V. Colemen were very good with instincts and only Rickey was fast. Brett is just as fast, but NO Instincts at all, he very seldom gets a good jump on the pitcher and takes too much of a lead off 1st base.
      Some have instincts and others don't. Jeter and A-Rod had what I have always called the 6th tool of baseball...Instincts.
      Some of the better...Bernie Williams, and Best Yankees...Mickey Mantle were athletes that played baseball without the instincts of the game.

    4. I agree with some of your comments, however his lack of intelligence causes this. I also blame Girardi who should have put the steal sign on. Gardner has a stealing machine in front of him an still doesn't get it. Samething with Cano with his lack of hustle with Jeter right next to him. That my friend is lack of intelligence in my humble opinion

    5. Ken H, I respectively disagree with you on the difference between instincts and intelligence. Instincts has nothing to do with intelligence at all! Look it up in the dictionary.
      As for Cano, he has never been a hustler running to first base. And again, nothing to do with intelligence, just his style and ego gets in the way of his play. He has all the talent to be better than he is and once he is older and slower he will go down hill fast and not understand why. Talent is wasted on some players that don't play as well and as hard as they could/should!
      Being honest about it, I wasn't that upset he went elsewhere. It hurt the team for a while but not in the long run. Play 100% and much can be forgiven!

    6. Mr. Reed you need baseball intelligence to know what to do in certain situations. You don't make the first or third out at third. You don't steal when your down 5 runs unless you're sure you are going to make it. Intelligence does come into play and you can tell me I'm wrong till the cows come home I don't agree with you and you don't agree with me. That's a shocker

  5. A very exciting yet frustrating game if you stayed up the whole time...arrrrgghhh

    1. I did not, and it looked like I missed a lot. I couldn't keep my eyes open.

    2. I watched the complete game and saw a team that needs a lot of hard work and a very hard kick in the ass!
