Make it a Double

Nova01_15

The Yankees need a winning streak but quick and lookie here, a chance to win two in a row. Ivan Nova’s breath-of-fresh-air blows to the mound against mid-season trade acquisition Scott Feldman. Feldman has only completed six innings in four of nine starts for Baltimore and this is the Yankee lineup looking to knock him out of the box:

Brett Gardner CF
Derek Jeter SS
Robinson Cano 2B
Alfonso Soriano DH
Alex Rodriguez 3B
Curtis Granderson LF
Mark Reynolds 1B
Ichiro Suzuki RF
Chris Stewart C

RHP Ivan Nova

Play today; win today.

Ivan's had a bunch of foul balls that squib right near the plate today. They can't square him up. And fuck that play. Dammit. Nova just missed it.

30 thelarmis   ~  Aug 31, 2013 2:33 pm

Just an infield single. Keep him in and get the DP.
