His jump on that ball was so much more impressive than the catch. Wow.

Those unnecessary dives sure do make the plays look much more spectacular.

i guess he should attempt a shoestring catch and let the ball get by if he misses. the dive is the easiest way to make the play.

You should be a pitching coach.

BTW, Carmona is pitching like a billion times better than Pettitte tonight.

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah, they might as well give the indians two runs and the victory

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you really think that Pettitte is pitching better because we haven't scored yet?

[/ QUOTE ]

not at all. carmona is pitching better. but a billion times better? no.

Okay, but it's hard to ignore that Pettitte has given up a lot of baserunners, and Carmona is one pitch away from seven innings of one hit ball. Carmona has been significantly better tonight...Pettitte has been able to work out of jams in part because we're beating ourselves (Lofton's boner, Droob swinging at that pitch, etc.).

Re: *** ALDS Game 2: Yankees vs. Indians (Pettite/Carmona)
 

A karmic bitchslap for some of the Yanks homers gaying up this thread would be pretty sweet right now.

Pettite is awesome at not giving up HRs. That was his plan.

JOBA TIMEEEEEE

Re: *** ALDS Game 2: Yankees vs. Indians (Pettite/Carmona)
 

I forgot how much I loved Lofton's quick bat flips after walks. They're almost as cool as the way he starts running to first base midway through his swing.

Pretty amazing (see: sad) that Joba had the fourth highest VORP on that staff.

are the indians fans here just as annoyed by chip caray as i am? or is it just because he's a blatant indians fan, somehow.

+1 glad I don't live in Cleveland.

Re: *** ALDS Game 2: Yankees vs. Indians (Pettite/Carmona)
 

Gotta say, if I could pitch, I think I'd be massively distracted by the 10,000 insects that seem to be flying around the mound. Don't know how they do it.

Re: *** ALDS Game 2: Yankees vs. Indians (Pettite/Carmona)
 

Considering that Carmona is doing this against one of the best offenses of the decade, it's a real shame he's given up a run, or we'd be calling this one of the best LDS performances in recent memory. He's been absolutely untouchable.
