Game thread 9/14 vs. Red Sox

Andy Pettitte (13-8, 3.78 ERA, 4.37 xFIP) vs. Daisuke Matsuzaka (14-12, 4.44 ERA, 4.39 xFIP)
(I added in each pitcher's xFIP just to irk 34Celtic. Yes, I am a jerk.)
Tonight's probably our best shot at a win with Dice-K having hit a wall recently. Let's have a nice discussion and the first one to make a reactionary post buys beer for the whole class.

Matsuzaka payback for the Joba to Youkolis pitches? -Jitpal

Near Jeter's head and now right above the knee to Arod.

How do you not score that inning. They literally tried to give the Yanks runs.

Beaning ARod? I don't think it was... Dice-K seems to be having control problems with his offspeed pitches.

Stellar defense by both teams thus far.

Great job Giambi! Great move Joe, let's put our worst defensive 1B to start the game. -Jitpal

I don't trust Dice-K, I don't know if he was gunning but he absolutely wanted to get it real close. However, his control was terrible and his fastball is straight and 88-90. He has to get hit hard. -Jitpal

Our Gold Glove SS, ladies and gentlemen.

Holy crap, can Jeter do anything right tonight? Bad throw and then he bobbles a sure inning-ending double play. -Jitpal

His very next pitch was a fastball high and tight to induce a pop-up. You also don't throw in retaliation with a 2-2 count in the first inning. If you're looking for retaliation, wait for the Sox to be up/down by like 4 runs and with two outs in the inning, someone's going to get hit. That will be the retaliation. This first inning was just Dice-K's less than stellar control on display for the world. mahalo
