Tyler Clips Mets in Big League Debut
Hot Yankee prospect Tyler Clippard shutdown the Mets tonight in his major league debut. He gave up 1 run on three hits (inluding a homer to David Wright), 3 walks and 6 K's. He made several Mets look stupid on the curve and change and froze some with fastballs on the black. Jeter, Posada and ARod all homered to aid the cause. Proctor who seems to have no problem with NL line-ups pitch two strong innings of relief and Mo came into a 6-1 game to get some work in the 9th. Ponderously, he gave up yet ANOTHER homer to Damion Easley before ending it. Yanks win 6-2 and Tyler Clippard gets his first major league win.
Great TC audio over at Pete's blog.

I didn't listen to Morgan during the game, but supposedly he made a big deal about Clippard tipping off his pitches by falling off the mound to 1B side when he throws his curve and to the 3B side when he throws his change.
I'm not sure that a batter can focus on the ball and a pitcher's follow through at the same time.
He can't. The balls already on the way and if he's looking at the pitcher's feet he's gonna have trouble picking up the ball.
Giambi gave Clippard hitting advice after his first ab!
