Cabrera Reaches Again
Melky Cabrera singles leading off the bottom of the eighth, his first hit of the night but the third time he’s reached base. Not bad for the number nine hitter.
Update: Jeter advances him with a short ground ball to third. One down.
Vlad, Vlad, Vlad Voom
Bobby Abreu picks up his first hit of the series, a one-out single in the bottom of the sixth. One out later, Vlad Guerrero sends a shot deep into the bullpen in left and the score is tied at three. All six runs have come via the home run today, three for the [...]
Discussion: The Angels And Bobby Abreu
Last offseason was hard on aging, positionless players. Just ask Jason Giambi, Luis Gonzalez or Richie Sexson. Even though he was coming off a solid season, Bobby Abreu signed a deal that guaranteed him just $5MM.
He turned out to be a real bargain for the Angels, posting an .825 OPS and stealing 30 bases. Abreu drove in 100 runs for the seventh straight year, played almost...
Jerry shines in a pinch
When Jerry Hairston Jr. got the call to pinch hit in the 13th inning, he dedicated the at-bat to his grandfather. This was the Yankee reserve's first ever playoff at-bat, and he knew how lucky he was to get the chance.
"My grandfather never had th...
Abreu Vs. Hall of Famers
Both Mike Silva and Rob Neyer raise interesting points about Bobby Abreu’s Hall of Fame candidacy. As Mike points out, Abreu consistently topped a 120 OPS+, and his career OPS+ is 132. Meanwhile, Neyer correctly asserts that Abreu never finished higher than 14th in MVP voting. Such a lack of regard usually means one thing: [...]
NY Yankees beat L.A. Angels, 4-3, in 13th inning in Game 2 of the ALCS
Error by Angels infielder allows Jerry Hairston Jr. to score from second
It's A Dutiful Play In The Neighborhood
You know it's one of those postseasons when the umps are getting ripped even for getting the calls correct. The good old neighborhood play. It's a given, 99 times out of 100, but last night Jerry Layne called Melky Cabrera safe when Erick Aybar's feet were merely in the vicinity of second base. To give FOX credit, they went back over the game's previous double plays...
Yankees edge Angels 4-3 in 13 innings
An error in the 13th inning by Maicer Izturis allowed Jerry Hairston Jr. to score the winning run for the Yankees in an epic Game 2. The Angels trail 2-0 as the series moves to L.A.
Base Running Blunder
Phil Coke comes on to pitch in the eighth. Bobby Abreu doubles to right center, but over runs second and Derek Jeter throws to Mark Teixeira, who trailed the play, to erase Bobby at second. The Yankees once again take advantage of a bad base running play to record an out. That’s [...]
Santana in the Twelfth
Ervin Santana takes the mound for the Angels, likely for the long haul. Melky Cabrera leads off for the Yankees.
Update: Cabrera works the count to 3-2, but swings and misses to strike out. One down.
Update: Posada loops one into shallow right center, and Abreu can’t catch up to it. He singles to [...]
Fundamentals 2, Angels 0
Fundamentals. Fun-duh-MEN-tuls. Noun. 1) Something that is part of the foundation of another thing. 2) In sports, the key concepts that must be mastered before attempting advanced work.Example: A fundamental concept of baseball is the ability to correctly catch and throw a baseball.Example 2: Another fundamental concept of baseball is that when one's team takes the lead...
LCS Day Two: The Three Most Important People
Being the new guy at Walkoff Walk is no fun, let me tell you. As part of my rookie hazing, Rob has already made me read aloud to him his selection of favorite WoW posts from the past year. If my voice doesn't have just the right inflection to suit his needs, he makes me start over from the beginning. This is a real bitch because he really likes all the interviews. Oh, and last...
