Chris Archer pitches well against the Yanks. Last time, they got the better of him, late in the game. I’m sure he’ll be on point tonight. Let’s hope Luis Severino matches him.
Jacoby Ellsbury CF
Brett Gardner LF
Alex Rodriguez DH
Brian McCann C
Carlos Beltran RF
Greg Bird 1B
Chase Headley 3B
Didi Gregorius SS
Dustin Ackley 2B
Never mind the dome:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Playing Ackley because Drew is 1 for 17 against Archer. I thought he was close to that against every pitcher.
Finally, I get a hit.
I like this Bird kid.
Me too.
And this Luis kid.
Looks like it's not Didi's day.
40 pitches through two for Archer? Drive that pitch count up
Come on, Luis.
Okay, one away...
Wow. Very nice pitch.
Luis Luis, we gotta go!
Jeez.
Arrows of outrageous fortune.
Nice, Sevvy
Luis looking good. OTOH the wife wants to watch the "debate." (Sigh)
Sevvy not shy after that last Jays outing. He looks like a keeper.
[13] Saw some of the early part -- the not-in-real-contention candidates.
I dunno. It's so predictable.
[15] but Max Headroom is winning!
Trump started talking. Back to the game.
KB.. Max H was a highly underrated show!
Damn.
He's good.
We need 3.
[19] You don't mean Trump?
[21] Yeah, no.
(Severino.)
C'mon Brett
Damn
Archer at 90. Best the Yanks can hope for.
Hooboy.
Couple big ABs coming up.
Didi would have tried to score.
Sevvy, major league! Nice...
20 pitch inning and we have a shot at their bullpen.
Yikes. That was close. Atta boy, Luis!
Archer off target...
[32] he seems to be tiring
I need to look it up and see how archer did against the Jays in the second half, if he faced them.
Chase
Archer gets Chased!
Sweeeeet!
[32] I see what you did there. I'm quivering with appreciation
[33] You're watching the debate?
[38] It was a pointed remark.
110 pitches? Get him out of there.
Come on, Didi, just a single, grounder through the hole...
[40] and on target
Nope.
Well, close game.
Archer a little petulant, but he's a great pitcher. A bloop did him in.
Sevvy for the seventh?
May need one more but Archer is out 115. The Rays do not believe in their bullpen.
[45] I guess the sixth first...
[47] You're a traditionalist.
Damn, Loney just has Luis's number.
Looney is an overall Yankee Killa. He must be batting 500 against this team.
Oof.
That hurt.
Did Ells lode it in the ceiling or is it a ground rule HR?
Hmm
I hate this place.
Yanks bullpen against Rays.
Fuck this piece of shit toilet bowl of a "stadium".
Okay.
They need to blow the Trop up.
That place is a sh*t hole. Nice minor league park.
[56] a toilet bowl is functional
Wilson for 2. Dellin for 5 and miller for 4.
Great outing for sevi. Now let's get him a W.
Sev er ino clap clap clap clap clap!
Wilson!
Insurance please
Noice, JW!
Thank you Mr Wilson.
Nice ERA for this guy :)
That was ball 4 me thinjs
Wilson has made the game safe for Betancy (Miller too).
0 and 2 and they play around.
Yoiks.
They aren't playing.
Wow.
I think I once had a nightmare like this.
[72] last week
Phew.
Now can we get a run.
Guess he wanted Loney.
And just like that, The Real Dellin reappears.
Fucking baseball, am I right?
Dellin again in the eighth?
It's Alex time.
That's quite some dancin', Betances ...
Maybe not.
lucky, lucky, lucky
Get a run and Miller time.
Plays are awesome, when the other side does them.
B-b-b-b-bb-b-bird is the Word!
Bird is the word!
Bird pulls back the string and lets one fly!
Bird trying to rip the roof off the Trop.
Can we please start playing the young guys.
Wow! What a shot from Bird!
Nice hustle DD
[89] but the farm system is barren, all because of Cashman!
Ooooh. Just caught the Bird bomb. Nice one!
Not remotely true. Severino, Bird and Heathcott did just fine when they played.
One
Oh boy.
That's one.
Two
Andrew is flinging it.
Three down!
Three!
And that's three.
Just blew them away.
Great pitching for us tonight!
Cheers, gang. Good win.
G'nite all. Good win!
Braves win tomorrow and the Yanks go to Queens 2/1/2 back.
Miller is ... very good.
Nice Yankees win! Sevvy, Bird, Wilson, Miller. Dellin, not so much.
And only one beer...
Now that's the kind of Yankee baseball I love.
Jumping ahead, i'm now starting to worry how our offense will hold up against stellar play-off pitching.
I can see Tank losing 1-0 or 2-1 games with A-Rod and Beltran failing to make contact. Might need to revive the old A-Rod tomahawk chop on the pitcher covering first.
Yous guys mentioned the "debate." Mud wrestling is more like it. P.T. Barnum couldn't have stage a better spectacle.
If I am allowed to break the runs. Hilary is actually going to blow this election. She's like Jackie Smith in the end zone in Super Bowl XIII.
