Wow, the Yankees announcers are no fun.

Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.

they should just let Swisher do the commentary, too.

+1

"It doesn't look like he's trying. It kinda pisses me off," "He could throw 110 if he tried. The way it explodes out of his hand is really something special." ~ B-Mac on Feliz.

You would think that they had to bring him in because the pitchers had all died.

I'm sure that means

Jorge Posada will be in the YES booth in a few years.

after the game he said.

“Nobody was laughing," he said. "I think today was embarrassing”

All right, now I believe...

Swisher may well have been worth taking the chance. (I’m assuming Girardi didn’t just have his Kevin Kennedy moment.)

That's awesome

Thanks for the video. I wonder why guys like that don’t throw harder (I know what they said on the video, I don’t really buy it). There are plenty of big league position players who could throw 90.

TY for posting the vid.

I would have loved to have watched that game in person…Nick has so much charisma.

Also

BJ’s catch is underrated.

also again

I’d like to see him pitch with his 90 heat.

This is hilarious.

I hadn’t heard this until today at school.

“This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by MLB Advanced Media.”

Makes Sense

MLB is really strict with video use. They won’t even let you embed vids from their website.

Download them, upload.

Give them due credit by posting original URL. Problem solved.

This happened last year in a Cards-Phillies game

The Cards were losing 20-2 (ouch), so they brought in Aaron Miles and he pitched a perfect inning.

St. Louis Cardinals... defying win expectancy since 2008
