Nice call by the Binder, who said Granderson's swing was coming around. HR, double and a single tonight. We are in the 5th.

No word yet if Kuroda is hurt or Girardi just pulled him because of his ineffectiveness.

Many guys have trouble recovering after being crushed early, but Kuroda has a great ability to find another way to get guys out.

What is amazing about Kuroda is his ability to adjust. It will be interesting to see tonight.
