Yankees victorious over Blue Jays

by @ 3:16 pm. Filed under 2008 Yankees

In a game that opening day starter Roy Halladay was slotted to pitch in, the Blue Jays showed up giving Kane Davis the nod.  He gave up 4 runs on 5 hits, in 3 innings.  Not the best performance, but it is spring training.  The Yankees ended up winning this one 7-2, and seeing Ian Kennedy go 4 and 1/3 innings, giving up 1 run on 6 hits, stiking out 4 batters.  This is the kind of game you like.  Seemingly on slow motion, just coastin’ to the finish….la la la.

The seventh inning is what all Yankee fans are talking about around the water-cooler today.  The seventh inning is when Joba Chamberlain came to the mound.  This kid can really pitch.  What a sight.  He has such a way of conveying victory.  In only 11 pitches (9 of them for strikes) he shut down the side.  Proving without a doubt that the organization made the right move with him just the day before, in telling him he would start the year out of the bullpen.

The offense came from 2 Yankees in particular during this game.  Shelley Duncan and Wilson Betemit were the two Yankees that contributed 5 of the 7 runs today.  Shelley had 2 RBIs, scored a run, struck out once, at 5 at bats.  Betemit went off for 2 hits (one a homer), 3 RBI’s, scored 2 runs, walked once, struck out once, was left on base 4 times, all in 4 At Bats. 

This was a nice game to watch (ESPN), because even though we were still watching some names appear that we weren’t that familiar with, it was nice to watch a Yankee game, first of all, and it was nice to watch them in command throughout the whole thing.  I never once thought this game was going to be contested.  They seemed to just quietly go about their business, and come away with a “W”in.

Regular season right around the corner.  Joba looks ready.  It is a good day to be a Yankee.
