Can He Close Today, Then?


 Since Chappy was up late last night ( actually this morning ), is he going to be ready to close today as well?

I mean, has anyone ever closed two games on the same day, where a double header was not involved?

What does Aaron say?

What did Aaron say?  ( " He had good stuff he just had one trouble finding the zone, and then he made that one mistake..  But I have total confidence in him."

I say, put him back on the horse.

No mater what lead we have by then.

Chappy needs to get his mojo back.  He can't simply sit and dwell upon a total meltdown. 

And he won't get that by taking today off ( if only he had taken early this morning off ).

What a ride.

Sadly, what promised to be an epic game today has been called.

Inclement weather.

Over two hours of pelting rain once the fans were in their seats? A mere delay.

Players all tuckered out? Game is called.

A bummer, really. I was hoping that today would be a true disaster, a great coda to last night's fiasco. But no could do. I really hope Giancarlo gets his rest.

And I agree, Alphonso. Pitch Aroldis again as soon as they can. Pitch him until he "solves" his problem. Stick Giancarlo in left field and leave him there until he breaks (I predict the fifth inning).

Let Lloyd's of London pick up all these tabs, and let's move on.

And the Yankees pick up Tim Locastro.

Mixed feelings on this. I root for Locastro because he's a Central New York guy. He can field and covers a lot of ground. He's likely the fastest player in the majors. He can make things happen on the basepaths.

But does this team really need another outfielder who is hitting below .200? I mean, Cashman is collecting sub-.200 hitters like he gets bonus miles on his MasterCard for them.

But he can run and he can catch. As Mr. Loaf sang, 2 out of 3 ain't bad, especially on this mess of a team.

As Joel Sherman put it, Locastro gets hit a lot, not to be confused with hitting lot, as evidenced by his sub .200 BA. More proof that while the rest of MLB is playing checkers, Cashman is playing with himself.
