Good first.

C'mon Arod.

Tex time.

[3] Maybe nex time.

Yay, McCann!

That's McCann

Oh hell yes.
HELL yes.

Mac Attack!!

Brian!

Gibson might not be in this game very long. I like starting a series by chasing the starter early. Wear out the bullpen.

Uh oh

Hm, good AB, Eduardo.

Yikes, right in the face, hope it's just a bloody nose

Yeah, that's a shame.

Broken nose, maybe. Really hurts, not super-serious in the long run.

Chilling. God Bless Bryan Mitchell.

The pill that Kay is, almost fainted on the mike.

[12] Nuney deserves some slack.

One game of intramural coed softball I played in high school, the pitcher got hit square in the mouth by the batted ball. Saw some teeth go flying. Awful.

My only positive spin on Mitchell is that the ball had some serious velocity as it went into the outfield. Serious blow, no doubt. More flush and he could have been killed. Fucking yeesh.

Ugh.

Not upset by that homer, not tonight.

oi...

This game started so well, too.

The black part of the plate. Try throwing the ball there as opposed to right down the middle.

I missed the Mitchell play, is he on way to the hospital?

On a lighter note, my kids were watching the Chris Sale 17K highlights last night. They fell in love with Hawk Harrelson, then spent rest of the night pushing each other and shouting 'He Gone!', 'Put It on The Board, YES!' Are Social Services going to take them away from me now???

[25] I imagine so, on both parts. Exposing kids to Hawk can be considered abuse.

5 rib eyes for McCann

Alex's stolen base pays off. NICE.

Argue to keep Arod on first or Tex? I think Tex is slower than Arod...

[29] I had to take the dog out. Paused the TV , a little behind...

27 an d 28 were mysteries to me.

as far as baseball goes, this game is pretty predictable...right?

for some reason, mlb.tv won't load on my laptop...

Next pitcher. This young man needs a break.

Would be great if McCann can get 100 RBIs.

Where is the American Sniper when you need him?

cotham city not doing so good...

Caleb needs to milk the cows

the power went out at my studio and i'm having trouble loading the mlb.tv on my roku too...

[34] you mean just tonight? Yankees might lose 101-100.

So, I take it Capuano comes back

Shreve has to get through this inning

this game fucking sucks.

[39] that's what RI would do to me!

[42] they all can't be diamonds, even though...
At least you got the Mo slot.

I think this idea of giving up one run each inning is working out well.

[44] my studio # is 42. only have that room for two more weeks though...

[46] My next birthday I'll turn 42! And I've decided to stop there, like RIYank.

[47] Very wise!

Oh, finally. Not bad, JW.

This definitely fucking blows.

well, fuck!

[47] me, too! well, i think i'll keep going...

the oreo's won again...

the twinks have a thousand hits. yes, one thousand. all tonight, not their season total. 1,000 hits in this very game. through 6 innings. at least they've only scored 7 runs...

hey, mac will be up this inning. he can double his total by hitting a 5-run homer. that's his total for tonight, not the entire season.

please don't hurt yourself, mark.

if that were me, i wouldn't even wince.

i'm a tough guy.

[56] I believe it, I saw Whiplash.
(Note: did not see Whiplash)

would be cool if we had garrett jones to play first...and pitch.

oh, wait.

[57] the only whiplash i wanna see is the awesome old thrash band from jersey!

tex is out. awesome.

i wonder if greg bird can hit 31 homeruns.

tonight, i mean. not in, say, his entire career. this game only.

BELI ties it up!!!

[i had a feeling : )]

Carrrrrrrrrlos!

[59] Japanese friend saw Whiplash, asked me what the big deal is. Said all the teachers in any traditional Japanese arts are like that. :)

[60] no, but Beltran can

watch drew hit the game winning solo shot...

[62] ha! yeah, i have no desire to see it. i can't stand teaching like that.

update on mitchell:

small nasal fracture. released from hospital. will be monitored for a concussion...

damn you, nunE!

if i were hit in the face by a batted ball that went 103 mph, i'd have stayed in and thrown a shutout. amazingly, that shutout would also be a complete game. harrumph!

well, i didn't say that drew's homer would happen that inning. plus, there was a man on base. tough way to make it a solo job.

hello me, meet the real me...

i dozed off in a pool of drool...what happened to Tex?

Tex fouled it off his knee.
Coaches, do the Yanks go all out to win this or save the pen for CC tomorrow?

Guess that answers that.

fouled a pitch off his right knee, in about the only place his guard wasn't protecting. it was ouchie.

i, of course, would have taken my base after the walk and stole 2nd, 3rd, and home.

[72] go all out and bring in relief from scranton tomorrow. hopefully, someone from the Dunder Mifflin softball team.

yup, warren only 9 pitches. here's that tall kid. really really tall kid.

my roku feed is s l o w . . .

what? out!

replay. clearly out. this should be fast. if not, blame angel hernandez. even though he has nothing to do with the call, blame him anyway.

Mac is killin' it behind the dish!

Nice throw from McCann, and tag from DiDi. Nunez is O U T

i don't get it. the ump took a second to peek in. i figured it was to see if didi held onto the ball. he then saw it and called him safe.

idiot ump. go replay!

only 2 pitches for the super tall kid.

Let's honor Kate Smith, she'd be 108 today. Rumor has it she had a tryst with Babe Ruth.

More on Kate, one of her signature songs (no lie), "That's Why Darkies Were Born"

[80] Was her dalliance with Ruth the impetus for the song??

Agggh!

That was Alex's pitch to crush.

here are a coupla things i think are super cool.

we have two sets of teammates who are part of pretty impressive clubs:

a-rod and beltan are 2 of only 8 players with 300 homers and 300 steals. they're the only active members.

tex and beltran are in the top 5 of homeruns by switch-hitters. they're the only active players in the top 10. the 10th on the list, is a tie between Bernabe and bobby bonilla.

Bird do!

not good, alex.

All not good

oh, mac.

really not good...

This game will take over 4 hours to get through 9 innings. I shudder to think what will happen if it goes to extree innings. The Yanks really needed to score that last inning with 1st and 2nd no out, or bases loaded 1 out.

CC will have to pitch if this goes to extra innings.

and since you all care so much...

jorge is 11th on the switch-hitter list w/ 275.

he was also only one homer away from having 8 seasons in a row with 20 homers, like Mac just did.

Thelarmis...heres Drew's chance

tex-rays negative.

[91] he's gonna wait 'til extras to get CC a win.

God, that was a nasty slider.

That just wasn't fair.

Un-beatable Betances.

I would very much like to win this baseball game.

Miller with only eight pitches. CC might be spared, of course it wouldn't hoit if they won it now.

Ooh, tied in the 9th. I checked out at 7-5. Go Headley!

Just don't fucking strike out, Chase...

Bird do again!
