Well, it's mid-6th down in Tampa. The offense has once again looked great today, and a few of the pitchers have been suspect. The day after Shelley Duncan splashes onto the scene and builds his case, Giambi has one of those games too.
Pitching:
- Pettitte pitched pretty well. In the first inning I had the feeling he may have been a bit pumped for his first game since all this HGH crap. And it showed because he allowed Werth to walk on a full count. But he simmered down in the 2nd inning, and he looked pretty good. Nothing too impressive, but nothing bad, so that's a plus.
- Steven White looked totally unimpressive to me. He allowed 2 hits in the third but got out of it. Then in the 4th inning, he loaded the bases and kind of unraveled. He gave up a 2-run hit down the third base side. He's done.
- LaTroy Hawkins pitched a good inning of work. He looked pretty good. As I've said in the past, I like the signing, I think it will work out well for them.
- Kyle Farnsworth allows a homer to Pat Burrell, what else is new? I hate that guy.
Hitting:
- Giambi hits a big homer that put the Yankees out in front 3-0 in the first inning. Then in the third inning, Giambi rips an opposite-field double that scores Abreu. 4 RBI's for him. We've got a nice competition going here for first base.
- Jason Lane was a nice surprise today, he's not going to make the big-level club out of the gate, but it's still nice to see good baseball this early. He hit a solo shot in 2nd then tripled in the fourth. Good to see, hopefully he can repeat that 26-HR performance from a couple of seasons ago with Houston.
That's all for now, I'll be back in a little with the stats.
