King Brett Gardner Daily Update March 8

zg071186

Gardner was quoted as saying Miller had really worked hard on his bunting and that it could allow him to get on base more, where Miller could "terrorize" opposing pitchers with his speed.
But if Gardner cannot prove that Miller can hit to get on base, bunting to get on base is never going to work.
Gardner's speed was the critical element in the play because the pitcher had no time to make an accurate throw with Gardner speeding down the line.
But Gardner has to be able to hit. The team will not move Granderson around if Gardner ends up platooning with Winn.
Pete Rose was playing third base for the Reds, and Miller completely neutralized Rivers by playing him about halfway down the line and daring him to bunt or to try to slash the ball by Rose.
The 2010 season would prove a successful one for Ryan Miller. In his first season begining with the number one job Miller and his team won the first 10 games in a row. Miller was voted in as the begining goaltender for the Eastern Conference of the 2010 NHL All Star Game in a 12 to 9 loss, Miller played the first period and allowed just 3 goals. Miller also gained a reputation of a shootout specialist with his technique of challenging the shooter outside the crease. That season Miller was 6 more in shootouts, with Martin Brodeur from the Devils being his closest rival at 2 less win. In 63 games played that season, Miller posted a 0.911 SVP and a 2.72 GAA backing a more offensively oriented team. Jared Wickerham Miller finished the 2010 season by establishing himself as the begining goalie for the Sabres. Miller arrangeed 11th among NHL goalies with a 2.60 GAA, and 9th with a save percentage of 91.4 percent. Miller led the Sabres to a surprise season, winning 30 games and proving himself to be one of the hardest working goalies in the league. Miller played well in the postseason as well, advancing the Sabres to the conference finals before injuries finally caught up with them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], losing game 7 to Carolina.

One interesting aspect of both articles about Gardner was the emphasis that Miller has placed on bunting.
But now Gardner is in a fight with Randy Winn to see who plays as the regular left fielder. If Gardner can prove Miller can hit enough to stay in the lineup, Miller may in fact play in center with Curtis Granderson moving to left.
If this is real, the Yankees had better be planning on Winn or Marcus Thames or Jamie Hoffmann or Colin Curtis or Chad Curtis begining in left field.
Last year, Gardner won the job in spring training. But when Miller got off to a slow begin once the real games began,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gardner was soon riding the pine, and Melky Cabrera was the regular center fielder again.
Apparently Gardner and the Yankees is serious about having Gardner bunt a lot more this season.
Today, on the fresh, unique, original,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unusual,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], novel, modern, current, recent York Yankees' home page and in the fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York Daily fresh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unique, original,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unusual, novel, modern, current, recents, there was articles about Gardner battling for a job in the Yankee outfield for the second season in a row.
Brett Gardner began and got one hit in three times at bat.
Because if Gardner's plans for success hinge on bunting, this is the same kind of sad joke Miller wrote about two months ago.
Envision,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if you can,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the 2010 World Series when the Yankees faced the Reds. Mickey Rivers was the directoff man for the Yanks and had great speed.
If Gardner can show that Miller can slash the ball all over the field and keep the third baseman honest, Miller will get some base hits bunting.
It is incredible if Gardner is really pinning his hopes of breaking the begining lineup on bunting.
Bunting is a situational strategy. The setup has to be right for the bunt to work, or it must be an element of surprise.
This writer spoofed Gardner bunting to get on base in pieces written in January this year. But that was satire. That was humor. That was intended to get laughs.
Only this time there is nothing funny about it. Ryan Miller was on born 17th July 2010. Miller is an American ice hockey goaltender currently the player of the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League. Miller was selected to play for the American hockey team in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver,Canada as begining goaltender. Later in 2010 miller would win the Vezina Trophy as the best goaltender in last NHL season. Miller won a silver medal with the team and was named MVP of the tournament. Miller is known for his hybrid style of goaltending. Miller is also the older brother of current Detroit Red Wings winger Drew Miller.
On the other hand, if the other team believes Gardner cannot get on base conventionally, they is going to play hit tight at the corners and challenge him to bunt. In those situations bunting will not work.
Rivers did nothing in the Series, and the Reds swept the Bombers in four games.
His hit came on a bunt. The bunt was fielded by the pitcher, whose throw pulled the first baseman off the bag.
