In a Tight Spot

Man, the Yanks are on the skids and the are O’s are rollin’ as Michael Pineda returns. Good to have his big ass back.

Let’s hope the boys can get the “W” on the road tonight for B-Girl Betty Bacall, born and raised in the Bronx.

I’m feelin’ this line-up.

Brett Gardner LF
Derek Jeter SS
Jacoby Ellsbury CF
Mark Teixeira 1B
Carlos Beltran DH
Chase Headley 3B
Stephen Drew 2B
Martin Prado RF
Francisco Cervelli C

2 rbj   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:07 pm

Huh, did you say something?

3 mhoward120   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:14 pm

I definitely want to put my lips together and blow

4 Chyll Will   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:18 pm

The guy in the upper right doing that lean back, heh-haa!

5 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:19 pm

I'm excited to see Pineda again.

6 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:27 pm

Nice frame from Pineda.

7 rbj   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:41 pm

A hit for Drew!

8 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:41 pm

E7. Delmon Young is a meatball.

9 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:45 pm

Professional Productive Outâ„¢ by Prado.

10 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:48 pm

BRAINS!

11 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:48 pm

Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains!

12 rbj   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:48 pm

Frankie! Now that's the way got get the man on third in.

13 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:49 pm

I still love Cervelli!

14 Mattpat11   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:49 pm

Hooray!

15 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:49 pm

Buck is still over - managing.

16 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:50 pm

Slo-mo replay there showed a bunch of Blue Jay and Met Fans in the stands..in Baltimore?

Go Go, Frankie Brains!

17 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:51 pm

Ah, fuck.

18 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:52 pm

Steal.

Hit and Run.

Run and Hit.

I don't fucking care, just stop giving Jeter chances to kill innings with double plays ...

19 RIYank   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:55 pm

[0] I think I finally 'get' gifs.

20 seamus   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:57 pm

pineda looking pretty good.

21 RIYank   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:58 pm

Oooh, good sliders.

22 Mattpat11   ~  Aug 13, 2014 6:58 pm

Boog Powell?

23 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:04 pm

That's HEADLEY!

24 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:05 pm

Rick Sutcliffe makes me want to punch kittens.

25 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:06 pm

[24] Oh god, he is awful. You can't get YES? O's broadcasters are not bad either.

26 Mattpat11   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:08 pm

[24] I'm sure he still thinks Varitek is the MVP

27 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:10 pm

[26] Remember when he said 'A-Rod could hit 60 home runs in a season and play Gold Glove shortstop but Derek Jeter is still the most valuable player on the Yankees...by far.'

28 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:10 pm

[25] Well, I get mlb.tv, but I'm multi-tasking and playing the ESPN broadcast works better. I admit that the issue is one my choosing ...

29 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:10 pm

Meanwhile, I'm just so SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! over Pineda so far.

30 rbj   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:11 pm

Glad I have the YES feed. Even Kay is preferable.

31 rbj   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:12 pm

Day-um!

32 rbj   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:16 pm

Quiet, Kay.

33 seamus   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:25 pm

booo

34 RIYank   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:25 pm

Ohhhhhhh.

Base runner.

35 rbj   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:26 pm

I'm blaming Kay.

36 coleman42   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:27 pm

Pineda reminds me of Bob Gibson

37 rbj   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:32 pm

Time for a double play.

38 rbj   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:37 pm

Headley!

39 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:37 pm

Headley!

40 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:38 pm

C42: please get a handle.

41 coleman42   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:42 pm

[40] don't understand what you want...

42 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:43 pm

Time for Betances

43 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:43 pm

Gibson? Really?

44 RIYank   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:48 pm

Holy shit.
Mike + Dellin. Good combo.

45 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:52 pm

Nasty. No chance.

46 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:53 pm

That's the most dominant outing for DB this year. Wow.

47 RIYank   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:53 pm

Seriously, I can't remember seeing so many swing-and-miss pitches. I guess Pedro, or Randy Johnson.

48 coleman42   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:54 pm

[43] Jeez, lighten up! I'm talking about a physical resemblance, plus his mechanics. Also, in his first few starts this year, he was pitching as well as Gibson. And I'm old enough to have seen Gibson pitch.

49 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 13, 2014 7:58 pm

C42: sorry if I'm over the top. I remember watching Gibson carve up the yanks in the W'S too

50 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:01 pm

Probably a good call; Drew had a couple of key steps inside the line.

51 monkeypants   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:03 pm

Probably a good call, but it is odd that the running lane does not really lead to the base.

52 RIYank   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:06 pm

Dellin, Dellin, the strikeout machine!

53 RIYank   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:09 pm

[51] Hmmm. Not sure I agree with that...

I mean, except when Gardner is running, in which case the base path forms a toroidal Minkowski spacetime.

54 coleman42   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:11 pm

[49] No prob, G

55 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:13 pm

The Rockettes? Jeez Kay & Kenny..way to keep it contemporary.

56 RIYank   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:15 pm

[55] Rondelles?

57 coleman42   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:16 pm

RUNS, please!

58 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:21 pm

Ok, try DB for one or two hitters, bring in Kelly, or ask the hamma

59 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:21 pm

To go for 2

60 RIYank   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:22 pm

[58] [59] Not gonna happen.

61 rbj   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:22 pm

Dellin for three?

62 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:22 pm

C ' mom DB!

63 RIYank   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:23 pm

Well, I mean, maybe Kelley. But not over 2 innings for Betances or two full for D-Rob.

64 RIYank   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:23 pm

Wow! Totally wrong!

Verrrrry interesting.

65 rbj   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:24 pm

Where was that Blue?

66 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:26 pm

Schoop with the tater..

67 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:26 pm

Sh*t!

68 RIYank   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:26 pm

Dammit.

Let's face it, he's just a different pitcher when you ask him to get more than a handful of outs. Maybe someday he can be a starter, but for now he's definitely a relief pitcher.

69 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:26 pm

Damn.

70 coleman42   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:27 pm

Schoop BA .215

71 mhoward120   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:29 pm

In that situation, it's a game winner because the Yankees are incapable of scoring again tonight.

72 coleman42   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:34 pm

What a huge goof by Pena to leave DB in for the third inning

73 rbj   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:38 pm

Crap. That's the ball game. Night all.

74 mhoward120   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:39 pm

This season is totally over.
At least we know that Pena will never manage here.

75 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:40 pm

I hate the fucking orioles.

76 RIYank   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:40 pm

Ugh.
Also, the Orioles are good.

77 monkeypants   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:42 pm

Looks like the Orioles are going to run away and hide with the division crown. Meanwhile, even teh second WC is looking like an uphill climb for the Yanks.

78 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:44 pm

[76] Very good. And if someone has to win the AL East besides the Yanks then I'm glad it's them, not Tampa or Boston..

79 monkeypants   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:48 pm

[78] I have no beef with TB.

80 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 13, 2014 8:49 pm

Very loud & impressive heckler at Camden tonight. Just yelled 'Hey Carlos, you a member or AARP yet?' :)
