big pine's first pitch = called strike

2 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:11 pm

The last day game I'll be able to watch. Damn you school! I was unaware of the Gomez dust up until a moment ago. Huh.

3 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:20 pm

20 pitch scoreless 1st

4 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:23 pm

[3] Hitting up any games iin Atlanta?

5 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:24 pm

A win sure wouldn't suck.

6 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:25 pm

Man, Alex has been struggling. Figure he'll have most of the weekend off. Be great to see him put some good swings on the ball this afternoon.

7 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:27 pm

2 strikes. Careful for that cutter moving away, Alex. Be disciplined!

8 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:27 pm

Ooof.

9 rbj   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:27 pm

I hate afternoon games when I'm stuck at work.

10 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:28 pm

[4] yup! going to the game friday. was planning on going saturday also, but too many things going on.

i'll be back up in NY in a month and plan on taking in a weekday game vs. the pale hose.

11 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:34 pm

Grumble.

12 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:36 pm

fuck.

13 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:37 pm

i walked upstairs. maybe it was my fault...

14 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:38 pm

[10]. Nice!

15 seamus   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:46 pm

overlooked that this was a day game. let's go yanks!

16 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:46 pm

2 hits in a row? And now, the rally killer, Stephen Drew.

17 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:46 pm

Christ, tell me Drew hit the ball hard at least.

18 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:53 pm

Nice frame by Big Mike.

19 seamus   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:53 pm

[17] a little. lined out, but not a stinger.

20 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:57 pm

Overmatched, Brett. Ugh.

21 seamus   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:57 pm

jesus, gardy looked bad bad.

22 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:58 pm

Aie, Carlos, and on a 3-0 pitch, too.

23 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 12:59 pm

Fucking A Rod, man. The fuck?

24 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:06 pm

Score some Mo Damn runs ffs!

25 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:06 pm

Nice job by Big Mike so far.

HITS, WALKS, EXTRA BASE HITS:

RUNS!

Let's go Fellers.

26 seamus   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:13 pm

just score before drew. so we can score.

27 seamus   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:16 pm

argh. dismal.

28 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:16 pm

not for nothin', but kenny singleton is really awesome in the booth.

29 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:17 pm

Our wishes are falling on deaf ears.

30 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:17 pm

28) Agreed.

31 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:18 pm

I watched the end of the Rangers-jays game last night. What a nut punch.

32 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:21 pm

Damn, Didi. That was sweet. So close.

33 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:24 pm

NOW I hate Astros.

34 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:24 pm

uh-oh. here comes trouble.

and, most likely, another loss...

35 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:25 pm

what a bunch of fucking bollocks.

36 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:25 pm

Comedy is not pretty.

37 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:26 pm

Was that bunt legit or was Big Mike napping?

38 seamus   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:28 pm

i was sort of half watching but looked legit from what I saw.

39 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:31 pm

If they can get out this inning only down 3-0 they'll be lucky.

40 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:33 pm

Good bunt. Drew was shaded toward second and had a long way to go. Pineda was covering but there was no chance.

41 MSM35   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:33 pm

Down here in Florida, yes it's hot, watching the boys. 2 now and likely to grow. Since they can't score it really doesn't matter much. Where to get some offense. Any segestions?

42 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:36 pm

[39] unlucky.

43 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:40 pm

Welcome to our nightmare.

44 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:42 pm

wow. complete and utter horseshit.

45 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:45 pm

Wild Pitch. Perfect. Now, walk Rasmus to re-load the bases.

46 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:46 pm

An out? No way. Do-over. That's not fair.

47 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:50 pm

Well, we seem to be at a low point. Down 5-0, half the game left, and it feels as if there is no way the Yanks can comeback.

Still, stranger--far stranger things have happened--so never mind this horseshit:

Let's Go YANK-EES!

48 Evil Empire   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:59 pm

Hey guys - I forgot this was a day game because the yellow highlighting that I put on all day games at the beginning of the season (indicating I can listen to the radio at the office) had faded.

I say all this to ask -- Did Pineda leave after 4.1 innings because he sucked and/or is rehabbing at the MLB level (and was on a short leash), or did he re-injure himself?

49 Evil Empire   ~  Aug 26, 2015 1:59 pm

[47] I'm with you on that!

50 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 2:01 pm

Walking Carlos Gomez. Jesus. This homestand has been a fucking major disappointment.

51 rbj   ~  Aug 26, 2015 2:04 pm

Hmm, maybe I'm lucky to be missing this game.

52 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2015 2:16 pm

[48] he started off pretty strong and looked good. threw more changeups than usual. he got into a whole heap o' trouble in the 5th and that's why he was pulled. no injury and it was 10+ pitches before his short leash was up.

53 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2015 2:16 pm

oh, good - i get to see tanaka pitch on friday! maybe a-rod will make a pinch hit appearance.

54 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 2:19 pm

Gosh, Alex is wilting.

55 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 2:21 pm

This is pitiful.

56 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2015 2:30 pm

[47] Alex? Alex Belth? Is that you?!

haha ; )

57 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 2:34 pm

3 innings to score 6 runs. It can be done!

58 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 2:34 pm

56) C'mon gimmie pernts for tryin! LOL

59 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 2:35 pm

YES, a lead off base runner. Here we go!

60 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 2:37 pm

That's what I'm talkin' bout. Here we go YO!

61 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2015 2:40 pm

[58] ha! ok, i'm off to work.

alex - you're in charge of the comeback. i fully expect a WIN!!!

62 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 2:41 pm

Not a great sign when Brendan Ryan--God love him--is pinch-hitting for your weak ass.

63 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 2:44 pm

And...thud. Okay, but that's 2. Creeping...

64 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 2:54 pm

Fucking team full of Rob Deer, Dave Kingman, .235-29 home run hitting fuckers.

65 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 2:59 pm

That Gattis homer--the second one--might have put this one out of reach, sad to say.

66 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 3:02 pm

There's a start!

67 Evil Empire   ~  Aug 26, 2015 3:12 pm

How about a bye bye birdie today?

68 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 3:16 pm

Dear Yankees: we're disappointed.

69 Evil Empire   ~  Aug 26, 2015 3:16 pm

On the Sterling scale of false excitement I'd give Greg Bird only a 5 on that one.

70 Evil Empire   ~  Aug 26, 2015 3:18 pm

[64] Gorman Thomas feels left out!

71 coleman42   ~  Aug 26, 2015 3:20 pm

"Oh, you met someone who set you back on your heels, Goody Goody!"

72 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 26, 2015 3:24 pm

70) Pete Inclavilia and Willy Mo, too!

73 coleman42   ~  Aug 26, 2015 3:26 pm

[72] Glenallen Hill too...

74 Evil Empire   ~  Aug 26, 2015 3:28 pm

[72] I was going to throw in Ben Ogilvie and Larry Hisle too, but they had a higher BAs than I remembered.

75 coleman42   ~  Aug 26, 2015 3:32 pm

Send Cashman to Atlanta again! Yanks need a pep talk.
