Did he really dial it up to 95 on that K of Ortiz?
Seems like it:

Nice win,especially since Ells came back from the dead in a way that he could exploit as he ages, using the RF dimensions, but can you count on CC? I don't think so.
I have obviously been critical of Cashman. I think he has gotten way too many things wrong, his choice of manager is incredibly overrated, his track record apart from the money and what Stick left behind is pretty unimpressive, yet the only people held accountable are those below him.
But despite being against the Didi trade (again, part of it was that it left Crapuano in the rotation on a team with an offense that didn't project to have two .900 OPS hitters), I really like the improvement I have seen offensively, so he may have gotten this one right. Props for that:

This CANNOT, however, lead them to believe that they can trade Mateo.
In 1978, Catfish hunter -- after being horrible for the first half or so of the season -- had a chiropractor adjust his shoulder, after that he seemingly rose from the dead and won something like 10 straight games...
I remember that. It was something about breaking up adhesion (scar tissue?) from the rotatory cuff injury.
I'm not sure it's generalizable to CC.
I think CC had adhesions in his mind.
Not that tonight's a must-win, but I think it's a bit more important than usual for a regular season game.
Each game is a swing in the standings. They're gonna get their character tested.
Character fail.
Miller probably should have been out there in the 10th after throwing just six pitches. And it's a joke that this team continues to employ Stephen Drew when he's below the Mendoza line in August.
Keep playing the shitty Drew, in fact, extend him
How could they possibly pitch Bautista in when all he does is pull the ball?
McCann should have an Oscar Gamble role, nothing more
If Murphy called the pitch he would be demoted.
Yeah, I'm not gonna panic because losing this game isn't the end of the world. That said, it perfectly illustrates how, if the team just made a few better decisions, both in-game and with the roster construction, it'd likely be in an even better position. You can't lose these types of games against a team that will challenge for the division.
And frankly, if Ellsbury is going to continue to suck, he needs to be DL'd.
That points to what I was going to be say.
All the media and fans (and seemingly the GM and manager) focused on pitching at the trade deadline.
This team lacks impact bats. Yes, they have scored a lot if runs, but in really big spots, I trust very few hitters.
That is why trading Sanchez is madness.
In fact, bring up some young kids. OF, 2B would help.
Joey is sitting Gardner v. LHP lately but not Ellsbury
Ellsbury CF
Young LF
Rodriguez DH
Teixeira 1B
McCann C
Beltran RF
Headley 3B
Gregorius SS
Ryan 2B
Nova P
McCann is hurting the team defensively.
Been gassed. Not to The Jerk
It's hard to believe how strongly some people support Joey
An all-around gutless performance by everyone, Girardi included.
I had a bad feeling about this series
It was always vulnerable as a result of age and lack of true quality

It's probably just a rough stretch, but dumb managerial and roster decisions are exasperating the problem.
With Ells hurt, Beltran aging, Headley inconsistent, and Drew/Ryan a bad joke, I think they will always be subject to periods of awful.
