TheStripes Posts: 1,547	Jake Peavey isn't a fan Jake Peavy Rips Yankees And The Stadium Jake Peavy voices his displeasure for the Yankees’ approach at the plate and their ballpark Jake Peavy was a bit peeved after his start against the Yankees, which turned into 4-0 loss thanks largely to the home run ball. Peavy unleashed his thoughts on Yankee Stadium: “They hit the ball in the air and it’s a home run,” Sounds like sour grapes to me. I didn’t hear Peavy complaining the night before when the White Sox jacked four dingers out of the ballpark. Did Peavy forget the White Sox just came into Yankee Stadium and took the first two games against the AL East leaders? Jake Peavy wasn’t done however. “Every guy is standing right on the plate,” Peavy said. “How many balls get hit to the left side of the field? None. They have no interest in hitting the ball that way. “Except Robinson Cano,” Peavy added. “That’s why he’s hitting .300, because he will use the whole field. Those guys are great hitters, so why wouldn’t you? They hit the ball in the air and it’s a home run.” Peavy would end his rant by reiterating his displeasure for the stadium. “You have to keep the ball out of the air in this ballpark,” Peavy said. “The ball gets in the air, you got no chance. Obviously that happened three times.” The Lord will either calm your storm . . . or allow it to rage while He calms you. ~ unknown

theBaron Posts: 487	hey jake ... you could move guys off the plate right ?..or you could maybe induce a ground ball right ?... so stop complaining about the YS .. your team hit some dingers ..the park or stadium plays for both teams. so suck it up mr Peavy and move on .. "it's when the Yankees score eight runs in the first inning .....and then slowly pull away" Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert , on a perfect afternoon at Yankee Stadium.

Look to Citifield as Collins stated ...few homers will be had there and certainly Yankees blast many there. Power is power and it's not restricted to Yankee Stadium. Always proud to be a Yankee fan.

newinn Posts: 13,748	In one respect though Peavy is saying some of what we all say in that the Yanks are a pull happy team but just as Baron said Peavy had the ability to move them off the plate. Hell we've been screaming to move Ortiz off the plate for almost 10 years

Of course it had nothing to do with the temperature being 93* and the ball was flying. I must have missed something, Strat, did they move the fences out between innings when the White Sox came to bat?

If anything more HRs should be coming from him as temperature rises. Strangely we saw none yesterday, could it be he just had nasty stuffy? Always proud to be a Yankee fan.
