Stuck at work.

2 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2015 12:12 pm

[1] Me too. It's my big 4-0 today y'all so have a beer on me. If that's not your thing I'll have an extra one later. : ) Go Yankees!

3 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2015 12:13 pm

um, that's not a good start.

4 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2015 12:15 pm

[2] Happy Birthday, and welcome to the club! today, is my brother's birthday and college mentor. good day!

I hope the Yankees bring you a sweeping win and I'll have that birthday beer for you tomorrow night!

5 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2015 12:15 pm

chase should have some errors taken off his ledger after that frame!

6 rbj   ~  May 27, 2015 12:17 pm

[2] Happy birthday. OK, you talked me into a beer tonight.

7 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2015 12:17 pm

it's time for chris young to come back to earth. today is the day.

Let's Go YAN-KEES!! !!!

8 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 12:18 pm

Happy birthday [2]. Ok if I have one now? A cold bottle of Guiness perhaps.

9 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 12:19 pm

C'mon Pineda, settle down.

10 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2015 12:19 pm

great start for Chase on both sides of the orb!

11 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2015 12:23 pm

crap. tex just missed it.

and i'll miss most of the rest of the game...

GO YANKS!!!

12 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 12:32 pm

McCann certainly can!

13 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 12:33 pm

15 straight!

14 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2015 12:34 pm

Mac!

15 coleman42   ~  May 27, 2015 12:48 pm

Maybe Didi needs a larger glove? Or maybe I'm being too generous? Earlier in year I said he needed to break his glove in more. Now I just think he doesn't have good instincts on glove placement.

16 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 12:51 pm

Didi doesn't seem to make the plays he gets to. Excellent range but.... maybe it's a confidence thing.

17 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 12:53 pm

Gardy gets out of the box pretty quick, doesn't he?

18 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 12:56 pm

Alex. Wow, he certainly smoked that!

19 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 12:56 pm

YES!!!!

20 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2015 12:57 pm

fuck yeah, A-Rod!!!!!!

21 coleman42   ~  May 27, 2015 12:58 pm

Lovely!

22 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 12:58 pm

Goddam it! I heard the McCann homer, and heard the top of this inning, but then I missed about five minutes and a 3-run bomb. Jeez.

23 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2015 12:58 pm

crush and do damage.

24 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 12:58 pm

[16] He does have excellent range though.

25 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2015 12:59 pm

Whoo-hoo, Alex!

26 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 1:02 pm

Number 3 on the all time RBI list.

27 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 1:04 pm

Happy birthday, Ara!

28 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 1:27 pm

More evidence that Beltan is a DR playing RF.

29 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 1:28 pm

Damn spell check. DH playing RF.

30 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 1:32 pm

I'm getting a little annoyed at all our WPs.

Also, not happy about this inning. Better get this Moussaka guy.

31 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 1:33 pm

Hold it together, big fella. Time for a couple of K's, dude.

32 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 1:33 pm

Ahhh. High heat.
One to go to get out of it.

33 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 1:33 pm

Great k

34 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 1:33 pm

There's one. Way to change the eye level.

35 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 1:35 pm

0-2. Put him away.

36 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 1:35 pm

Nifty. Way to go, Hoss.

37 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 1:35 pm

Way to go big guy!

38 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2015 1:35 pm

YES!!!

and, on that note, i'm headed to woik.

GO YANKS!!!

39 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 1:35 pm

Oh, man.
That was very impressive.

I hope Cashman is thinking about how to sign Big Mike up for about six years.

40 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 1:36 pm

Happy sweeping, thelarmis.

41 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 1:44 pm

Archer vs. King Felix, scoreless in the seventh.

42 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 1:46 pm

Should be an E 4.

43 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 1:49 pm

Nice, six K in six. After that rocky beginning.

44 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 1:50 pm

Excellent game for Michael. I think it's time for him to take a seat.

45 coleman42   ~  May 27, 2015 1:53 pm

But not Carpenter

46 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 1:55 pm

44) 3 more outs? Or he the big guy done for the day?

47 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 1:56 pm

When is the Drew experiment deemed a failure? And Slade is looking good.

48 coleman42   ~  May 27, 2015 1:59 pm

Yes. I'd keep Mike in another inning, or at least part of next.

49 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 2:01 pm

48) Here, here.

50 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 2:02 pm

Michael is at almost 100 pitches and his fastball is down to 91. But I guess Joe will have a quick hook.

51 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:04 pm

Still looks good to me.

I know they're trying to be careful with him, but he looks strong.

52 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 2:05 pm

Excellent outing.

53 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:05 pm

A well-deserved standing O.

54 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:06 pm

[52] 6 2/3 innings = one outing.

55 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:08 pm

[45] Why not Carpenter?

:-)

56 Mattpat11   ~  May 27, 2015 2:08 pm

Well, that was completely fucking pointless

57 Mattpat11   ~  May 27, 2015 2:11 pm

I used to swear that when Torre was the manager and he had someone awful he would keep playing them as a statement until Cashman dumped the player.

I'm beginning to think that's what Girardi is doing with Carpenter.

58 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 2:12 pm

Nice job by Mike.

59 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 2:12 pm

No small amount of whew.

60 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:13 pm

Felix and Archer went eight scoreless. Boxberger in for Tampa: K, K, BB, BB. Let's see the other True Outcome now from Cruz...

61 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 2:14 pm

Excellent.

62 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:14 pm

Nelson Cruz delivers the third True Outcome! 3-0 Mariners.

63 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 2:17 pm

60) Dag.

64 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:18 pm

Eight strike-em-outs for Mike, by the way.

65 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2015 2:21 pm

May we have another?

66 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 2:22 pm

Alex is on a roll.

67 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:24 pm

Wow, King Felix returns to knock down a CG shutout, striking out two Rays in the ninth.

68 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 2:24 pm

How about a slump-buster, Chris?

69 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 2:25 pm

67) I must bust balls, a shutout is a CG, no?

End of ball busting.

Love, Mr. Correct.

70 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 27, 2015 2:29 pm

Big Pine gets his strike em outs when he needed em. And our Carpenter is a Lady, not a pitcher.

71 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 2:29 pm

A walk. Darnit.

72 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 2:32 pm

Way to stick with that curve. Looks like he's got no control over it, still comes back to get the K.

73 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 27, 2015 2:32 pm

[69] can't a team shut out an opponent without a complete game by the starter?

74 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:33 pm

Oh, fine, Mr. Correct. I'm sure there's never a redundancy in the postings on Ball Busting Bronx Banter.

75 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:34 pm

Oh, fuck.
But, he has great range, you know.

76 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:35 pm

Not an Earned Run though, right??

77 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 2:35 pm

Toughen up, Dellin.

78 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 27, 2015 2:36 pm

Didi plays the field like a talented rookie, but rookie he's not.

79 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:36 pm

Oh, beautiful. Whatever McCann said, he was right.

80 coleman42   ~  May 27, 2015 2:36 pm

That's my Didi, tried to replicate the Jeter flip play.

81 coleman42   ~  May 27, 2015 2:37 pm

I wonder what Drew thought about that play.

82 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:38 pm

[78] Great range, though.

Jesus. He struck out the side anyway.

83 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2015 2:39 pm

Home to see the 9th. Better late than never.

84 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:39 pm

Gameday is counting the run as Earned. I think that's wrong -- it scored on a throwing error and the next two batters struck out.

I really hope so. I like that big 0 next to Betances's name.

85 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 27, 2015 2:40 pm

[82] I suspect not enough to make a home here.

86 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 27, 2015 2:42 pm

[84] Kay called it unearned...

87 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 27, 2015 2:44 pm

I wonder what Slade's parents are like?

88 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 2:44 pm

phew.

89 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:45 pm

[85] (I always write "great range, though" when Didi does something irritating or incompetent.)

90 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 2:45 pm

74) Ha. Guilty as charged. You know I'm just playin'...

91 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:46 pm

Gameday changed the run to unearned. Whew.

92 rbj   ~  May 27, 2015 2:47 pm

Yahoo sports is also counting it as unearned.

I hate meetings. Especially ones that run on too long because some have to talk about things that don't interest me at all.

93 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:47 pm

BoSox lose. Jays in extras.

I know, it's too early to watch the standings.

94 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 27, 2015 2:47 pm

[89] nodding, understood, smiling.

95 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:49 pm

[90] :-)
I do know.

Hey, I made some limoncello. It worked out great. I will send you a photo of the enticing bottle.

96 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 2:49 pm

That's one.

97 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 27, 2015 2:50 pm

[89] Wolf is a great range, but can't expect good baseball from it.

98 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 2:50 pm

95) Nice. I was just up in Vermont. My father-in-law has asparagus coming out in the garden. Olive oil, salt and pepper, threw them on the grill, finished them with a tarragon viangrette.

99 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 2:51 pm

Well, Hell's Bells that was quick. Thank you Mr. Miller.

Now, that's the way to end a homestand.

100 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2015 2:51 pm

And thanks for the kind words, gang. Sweep em up. Slainte!

101 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:51 pm

Ballgame over, Yankees win!

102 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 2:52 pm

[98] Oh, man. Asparagus does so well on the grill, and nice and simple is the way to do it.

Great series, team!

103 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 27, 2015 2:53 pm

Nice sweeping win! Lots of strike em outs!

104 Alex Belth   ~  May 27, 2015 3:02 pm

And this is a team--the Royales with Cheese--who do not strike em out much.

105 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 3:05 pm

Pale Hose plate two in the tenth, Jays now up with their last chance. Alabama Hamma in for the S, but he puts two of the first three Jays on base...

106 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2015 3:10 pm

D-Rob walked Josh Thole. It's really too bad Thole's first name doesn't start with an 'A'. Or maybe just as well.

But he blows away Kevin Pillar, who flails at a fastball for the second out, and gets the last guy to chop to short for the S, and the W for the W-sox.

107 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 27, 2015 3:16 pm

[104] I saw that stat, least walks and strike em outs in the AL. That's a dichotomy...

108 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 28, 2015 4:29 am

Happy Birthday, Ara! I celebrated with some fine Akita Prefecture sake last evening so will toast you with green tea tonight.

Great win, back in first place. Let's stay on a roll.
