My son took a plane to Tampa Thursday and met Chase Headley's wife. I told him that he should have mentioned to tell her husband to hit a homerun. My son said seeing her he already did.

2 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:03 pm

[1] Heh.
I get the choice of the ESPN or Detroit feeds. Going with Detroit's.

3 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:14 pm

Yanks go quietly, and quickly, in 1st...

4 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:19 pm

That'll do.

5 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:19 pm

Tigers go quietly...etc.

6 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:22 pm

Yay!

7 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:22 pm

Yay Teix!

8 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:23 pm

Simon says, touch 'em all, Mark.

9 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:35 pm

Gritner!

10 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:45 pm

Alex is back to his Jorgie helmet.

11 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:48 pm

[2] The Detroit guys aren't bad.

12 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:49 pm

Well, that's confusing. The Tigers also have a catching McCann.

13 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:55 pm

I wonder if the McCann brothers talk to each other when at bat.

14 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:56 pm

I thought they were brothers. Detroit guys say they aren't related. I'm confused.

15 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:57 pm

Not related per YES.

16 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:57 pm

[14] Just switched over to the YES, and Michael also said they are unrelated.

17 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:59 pm

Is this the A Simon who shot two guys in the DRepublic and allegedly raped a woman in Washington DC? Good to see MLB weeding out all the filth from the game..oh, they only suspend steroid users...

18 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 6:59 pm

And CC runs him down!

19 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:01 pm

[18] that was precarious.

20 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:02 pm

[17] Allegedly.

21 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:03 pm

[19] No, he's our shortstop!

(How often does the opportunity to say that come along???)

22 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:09 pm

Hilarious!

23 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:14 pm

Still faced the minimum, nice.
Easy outing for the Fat Man so far.

24 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:17 pm

I'm tired of this Steven Drew.

25 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:17 pm

Nice take out by Hedley.

26 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:18 pm

[24] Sorry, only one we got.

27 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:19 pm

I'm tired of this Precarious.

28 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:19 pm

Yes,

29 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:22 pm

Oh my god.
Whew.

30 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:22 pm

WOW!!!

31 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:22 pm

Do we have some outfield defense?

32 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:23 pm

Go deeeeeeep! Pretty grab.

33 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:24 pm

Wow

34 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:24 pm

saving some runs this inning

35 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:24 pm

Another!
Excellent.

And despite my lack of enthusiasm for Hilarious, he's supposed to have very good range, so maybe we have a decent IF too.

36 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:26 pm

And another punchado.

Nice pace to this game!

37 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:28 pm

This is about as good as CC has been in a long time.

38 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:30 pm

Damn

39 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:31 pm

Hm.

Jacoby has definitely been a minus on the base path this season.

40 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:31 pm

This kid is a Brian clone!

41 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:31 pm

Amazing throw to get him though.

42 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:32 pm

Wow, that was some fucking play.

43 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:32 pm

Sidearm!

44 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:33 pm

Jeez.
Nice leather.

45 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:33 pm

All you need is glove.

46 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:33 pm

I hope my Sox friends are following Iglesias this year.

47 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:35 pm

That's twice.

48 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:36 pm

[46] nice

49 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:36 pm

[45] nice too

50 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:41 pm

I don't like that leadoff walk.

Not one teeny little bit.

But he has managed to induce the DP, so maybe he'll wriggle out...

51 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:41 pm

Yay!

And so he did, easy-peasy!

52 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:42 pm

Dang, our guys are flashing the leather too.

53 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:42 pm

Keep talking, Weeping

54 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:42 pm

Wow.

CC is dealing.

I like this very very very much.

55 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:44 pm

[50] Prescient. And [51] they made it look easy-peasy. (Although that makes me think of Jake Peavey, who was traded for Iglesias, and whom I find despicable, so I will not write it again.)

56 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:47 pm

[55] Prescient's on 3rd.

57 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:47 pm

laughing

58 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:48 pm

...and despicable 's on 2nd.

59 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:48 pm

Wait, I thought "to cut the mustard" meant to be just good enough, adequate. Apparently Michael speaks a different dialect from mine.

60 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:49 pm

Beltran is so done.

61 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:50 pm

Okay, Prescient, Precarious, Despicable, good infield!
But... who's on first?

62 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:54 pm

[61] yes

63 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:55 pm

Come on, Migs, one more GIDP!

64 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:55 pm

Oh, almost. I thought it was a dp.

65 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:56 pm

Wow.

Lucky Cabrera doesn't hustle.

66 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:56 pm

Don't like this.
IBBs are rarely a good idea. And what if they're walking the wrong Martinez??

67 mhoward120   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:56 pm

Another bonehead play by Doody Gregawfulous.

68 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:56 pm

Almost. But Miggy isn't going to bust a hump there.

69 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:58 pm

Crap

70 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:58 pm

Goddam it.
Whad I say?

71 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:58 pm

Agggghh!

Motherfucker.

72 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2015 7:59 pm

[66] Prescient!

73 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:00 pm

I am sad now.

74 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:00 pm

Shit.

75 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:00 pm

Jeez.
I mean, it's just obvious. I take no credit. It's just obviously stupid to IBB a guy to put the go-ahead run on base.

76 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:00 pm

That didn't end well

77 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:01 pm

I bet Cashman is gnashing his teeth.

78 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:01 pm

[75] Return Of The Binder?

79 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:01 pm

Goddamn Fucking Bollocks!

80 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:03 pm

[78] No, I think it was a hunch.

81 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:04 pm

NO PLAYS PLEASE.

82 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:05 pm

Grrrrrrrr.

83 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:05 pm

Get those runs back!

84 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:06 pm

Did we just sac bunt in front of Didi Gregorius?

85 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:07 pm

"Very little balance when he does anything at the plate."

You said it, Paulie.

86 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:07 pm

Yay!

87 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:07 pm

[84] I'm speechless..

88 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:08 pm

Is that a hit from Didi?

89 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:08 pm

Seriously?

90 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:08 pm

Paulie sounds like he could be a decent hitting coach.

91 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:08 pm

[84] We did!

And then held Hedley. So, good thing they bunted him to second. That worked perfectly. Because he was in "scoring position".

92 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:09 pm

Joba?

93 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:10 pm

It's our old pal.

94 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:10 pm

Joba indeed!

This is fun.

95 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:11 pm

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

96 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:11 pm

Goddam %$#*&.

97 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:12 pm

Fuck you, Joba. Fuck you and your antics.

98 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:12 pm

It particularly sucks that Lardo got the job done

99 RIYank   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:12 pm

I was really expecting a Joba Special. I could visualize it.

100 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:12 pm

Damn it.

Damn it.

Damn it.

101 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:14 pm

Well done Headley. If you didn't fucking run like Didi plays defense for fuck's sake!

102 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:14 pm

I used to like Joba...

103 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:15 pm

Precarious showed good range there.

104 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:17 pm

How ungodly slow must you be to require a pinch runner to get to second on a sacrifice?

105 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:17 pm

[101] that's Coach Espada's call.

106 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:20 pm

[105] I'm not sure it as even a bad call. It just feels like a waste of Didi's hit for the week.

107 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:22 pm

Get some runs, CC doesn't deserve a loss here.

108 MSM35   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:25 pm

This would be a good one to win. CC showed good form.

109 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:26 pm

[105] Well unless Chase got a terrible read off Didi's hit, which I didn't see, he moseyed on over to third base and took a sad turn. The ball took a mighty big hop from the CF.

110 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:26 pm

I think that was ball four.

111 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:27 pm

Crud, down to last out.

112 coleman42   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:29 pm

Well, at least it was a quick one. G'night.

113 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:29 pm

Dammit!

114 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:29 pm

That's a painful loss.

A very painful loss.

115 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:29 pm

Night all

116 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 20, 2015 8:30 pm

Bollocks. Good game, CC.
