| SLYT | NYY @ TB | Game 1 - New York 6 Tampa Bay 7 | FINAL Posted by BayouBengals03 New York's World Series run begins tomorrow, with a battle between the two best teams in the American League East.  on 4/5 at 2:07 pmHere's a few notes of interest, courtesy of our friends over at The LoHud Yankees Blog. • Michael Pineda played catch today, throwing 25 pitches, but there’s still no timetable or definite plan moving forward. Joe Girardi said he’s not even sure whether Pineda is going to stay in Tampa or follow the Yankees to Baltimore and New York. “They’re still talking about what plan they want to take with him,” Girardi said. • Boone Logan said there is “night and day” difference in the way his back feels this morning compared to yesterday. There was legitimate pain yesterday. Today there’s only lingering soreness. He fully expects to be ready to pitch tomorrow. “I would be in there, in my mind,” he said. • The Yankees have claimed right-handed reliever Cody Eppley off waivers from the Rangers. He’s 26 years old and will be assigned to Triple-A to pitch out of the bullpen. Cashman said he likes Eppley’s ability to handle right-handed hitters, and he helps add some depth after losing George Kontos and promoting David Phelps to New York. • Gustavo Molina has decided to accept an assignment to Double-A. He’ll split the catching duties in Trenton with Jose Gil. Those two did the same thing this winter. CC Sabathia will make his fourth straight opening day start for the Yankees. He is 0-1 with a 7.70 ERA in those starts. The Yankees are 1-2 in those games. Projected Lineup: Jeter SS Granderson CF Cano 2B Rodriguez 3B Teixeira 1B Swisher RF Ibanez DH Martin C Gardner LF It's the same lineup that was used late in the spring, but Girardi says Nunez will start on Saturday at either short or third to give Jeter or A-Rod an early DH day. That's going to be the regular plan against lefties, to get that extra right-handed bat in the lineup. Projected Rotation: Sabathia Kuroda Hughes Nova Garcia Pettitte and Pineda could fight for rotation spots eventually. Speaking of Pettitte, he threw a scoreless sixth inning in his first game action since the 2010 postseason. Pettitte said he expects to stay in Tampa, pitching either in extended spring training or with the Yankees High-A team. He’s still focused on May 1 as a possible return date. Pitching match-ups vs. Tampa Bay: Fri. - Sabathia (0-0) vs. Shields (0-0) Sat. - Kuroda (0-0) vs. Price (0-0) Sun. - Hughes (0-0) vs. Hellickson (0-0) This post was edited on 4/6 at 6:44 pm Reply • Back to Top |

| So, are all the Yankees fans and the single Red Sox fan meeting in BR for the first series? Reply • Back to Top |

| Lineup is stacked, rotation depth, good pen. That should be enough to make up for Girardi's shitting managing. Reply • Back to Top |
| Should have hired Mattingly Reply • Back to Top |
| If our bats aren't completely terrible this year, we're gonna be tough to beat. Reply • Back to Top |
| Yeah. How is Moore doing? Reply • Back to Top |
| He's coming along pretty nicely. He had a little injury at the start of spring training, but he pitched 7 good innings yesterday. I think he's our #4 starter. Reply • Back to Top |
| I bet he'll be higher than #4 come playoff time. Reply • Back to Top |
quote:That would bode well for us for sure. But idk man. We've got Shields, Price, and Hellickson ahead of him. Gonna be hard to move up unless Hellickson's last year was a fluke. ETA: He'll eventually be a #1 starter though for sure, imo. This post was edited on 4/5 at 3:09 pm Reply • Back to Top |

Posted by Rohan2Reed on 4/6 at 9:26 am to BayouBengals03 TB takes this one. Shields owns the Yanks down in Tampa. 4-2 Rays Reply • Back to Top |
| And Sabathia is a bit of a slow starter. Tampa probably takes it today. Reply • Back to Top |
GEAUX RAYS!!!!!!!!  Reply • Back to Top |
Bats start off hot, Yankees 8 Rays 5  Reply • Back to Top |
| I really like the over in this game. Even if a lot of the runs come from Tampa. Reply • Back to Top |
| I think Tex, Arod bounce back, Gardner continues to improve, Cano is well Cano and it makes up for decline of Swish and Jeter. Granderson I wanna how he plays this year after MVP type season last year. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
