And the Hits Just Keep on Coming...
As per Pete Abraham, helping to explain Posada's presence in the game and Molina's value to the team:
I second this last line from Abraham. With all the speed that Tampa Bay has, I wouldn't be surprised if Girardi is the back-up catcher tomorrow. Kennedy needs to be extra good or else the Rays will run wild.
"The Yankees need a catcher. Jose Molina strained his left hamstring in the fourth inning, which is why he had to leave the game in the eighth.
"He sucked it up for us," manager Joe Girardi said.
It's uncertain what the corresponding move will be to create a roster spot, but the Yankees will be adding a catcher tomorrow. It will likely be veteran Chad Moeller.
Jorge Posada (right shoulder) said he is not ready to catch tomorrow. He was instructed not to throw tonight in the inning he caught and Boston stole two bases. Imagine what Tampa Bay would do tomorrow."
this was horrible news before going to bed last night. then i read that joba's father collapsed and joba has flown to his nebraska bedside.
at least we know why girardi did what he did, it's nice to know he isn't a moron
