njsmalls Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 His foot is injured, out at least six weeks. Fuck, he was just running the bases. I don't care he's an AL pitcher, I thought he was a professional athlete. Who are they going to call up? Igawa? That's a football score waiting to happen.

BullsOnParade Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Dan Giese is going to get the first start, then they will go from there. Hopefully the Yankees can catch lightning in the bottle and have an Aaron Small part II situation going on here with Giese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubeck Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Dan Giese is going to get the first start, then they will go from there. Hopefully the Yankees can catch lightning in the bottle and have an Aaron Small part II situation going on here with Giese. Giese has looked pretty good in relief of Joba. I don't follow baseball much so do you know how much starting experience he has in the minors and if they will have to work him into starting shape like they did with Joba? Speaking of Joba, suddenly bringing him out of the bullpen seems like a great idea. But if Giese does take over a starting position they will need another long reliever.

Ditto Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Giese was a starter in the minors, so he's ready in that respect. Can he pitch in the majors, though? I have a sneaking suspicion we'll be giving up on some of our youth this time. :brooding: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeMesiS Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 We're only 5.5 games out. But this not what we needed if are going to make a run for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator27 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 athlete[/i]. Who are they going to call up? Igawa? That's a football score waiting to happen. Yeah, whats up with these guys? Give me a break. I thought the announcers were just being idiots when they were stating how pitchers can get hurt just by swinging the bat or running the bases. They're supposed to be athletes. Running from second to home shouldn't be that difficult. Whatever happen to the guys in High School who were the ace of the staff, hit .500 and played centerfield? They just lose the ability to hit and run once they become professionals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitchers just don't practice hitting enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
