What Do We Have Here?

bags construction site

Yanks host the A’s. Maybe our pal Ken Arneson will pop through and let us know what’s what his squad this year. Maybe too the Yanks will start scoring some runs.

Never mind the cool breeze:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

It doesn't look like Mike has totally lost the plate. But a 4 pitch walk with two out and nobody on in the first, oy.

2 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 6:21 pm

Okay!
And damn, Starlin scorched that out. We should have a big rally going...

3 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 6:25 pm

Bam!

4 coleman42   ~  Apr 19, 2016 6:27 pm

First inning rally!

5 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 6:27 pm

I approve of this new RISP hit getting philosophy.

6 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 6:30 pm

A little disappointing. But they're hitting him, and Surkamp threw a lot of pitches. High twenties, I think.

7 coleman42   ~  Apr 19, 2016 6:37 pm

A thought: with Ellsbury defensive woes, how about switching Gardner to Center?

8 coleman42   ~  Apr 19, 2016 6:39 pm

Guess they want Gardner staying in LF since Aaron Hicks is in CF tonight...

9 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 6:40 pm

Hm. When Mike is on, Yander Alonso can't touch him.
Well, big batter coming up.

10 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 6:41 pm

Scary 3-0 pitch to their HR hitter with two on...

11 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 6:41 pm

Yeah.

12 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 6:42 pm

This isn't good

13 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 6:43 pm

Okay.
Still confident. I think Mike will be okay. Too many pitches though.

14 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:07 pm

I hate wasting lead off doubles

15 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:22 pm

What an embarrassing spectacle this is.

16 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:28 pm

The Yankees are facing a truly awful pitcher and they feel they need to bring the infield in in the fifth inning.

17 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:29 pm

Needed that K

18 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:30 pm

Yeah, Mike!

19 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:30 pm

Phew

20 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:31 pm

But I bet he only goes one more inning.

21 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:38 pm

Yeesh

22 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:39 pm

Unbelievable.

NO PLAYS. NO FUCKING PLAYS.

23 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:41 pm

Fucking plays. Should be second and third nobody out with a run in!

24 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:42 pm

Starlin is crushing the ball, though.

25 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:42 pm

Okay, Carlos!

26 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:43 pm

Woo hoo!

27 coleman42   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:45 pm

We got 2 runs and it's only the fifth!

28 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:45 pm

Do it again, Alex!

29 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:46 pm

Grumble grumble.

30 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:47 pm

Stupid play cost at least a run.

31 MSM35   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:48 pm

Have to wonder if the A's advance scouts know something we don't?

32 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:49 pm

Aw jeez

33 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:50 pm

Sigh.

34 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:52 pm

Ooooh. Nice K.

35 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:52 pm

Another big K, need another one too.

36 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:52 pm

Crap

37 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 7:54 pm

That was an infield-in single. I mean, woulda been a ground out.

38 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:00 pm

The Yankees have just been completely shut down for over five innings by a terrible relief pitcher.

39 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:00 pm

Day-um! Helluvacatch.

40 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:01 pm

Wow.

41 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:03 pm

Cash this opportunity, please!

42 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:03 pm

Oh, thank God, Cy Surkamp is out of the game.

43 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:04 pm

And now an error. You can't predict baseball

44 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:07 pm

Sure. Get to second and third. Just to tease us.

45 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:09 pm

Modammit

46 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:09 pm

Yep.

47 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:10 pm

Fucking Bollocks!

48 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:10 pm

I hate baseball.

49 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:10 pm

Man. That scorcher by Castro in the first, that one by Brett, the ball Valencia grabbed. Some bad luck. I hope we survive it.

50 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:12 pm

Scoreless through six in Fenway. Sox have one hit.

51 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:12 pm

[49] Wouldn't be a problem if they had otherwise hit the awful relief pitcher that started the game.

52 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:15 pm

I mean, they got seven hits, walked three times, and had three hits stolen by bad luck and good fielding. I don't think they looked that bad. Just couldn't put things together.

53 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:18 pm

Didi's pulling some thievery of his own!

54 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:19 pm

Ellbury sitting? Is he injured?

(Dead Horse Warning!) Damn, I still wish they signed Cano instead of Ells & Belts.

55 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:21 pm

[53] RI, my boy's favorite players are Didi, Clayton Kershaw and Manny Machado. Should I hold an intervention? He also got an LA Dodgers cap from Mrs. Jazz (she asked 'what's wrong with wearing another cap? Such nice bright blue, he looks great in it!' etc etc. I married the one Japanese person with no interest in baseball..)

56 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:24 pm

[55] Eh.
Dodgers are okay, no shame in Dodger Blue. Manny Machado, not so much.

57 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:25 pm

Scoreless through seven in Fenway.

58 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:26 pm

[56] Now that they let Donnie Baseball go I'm done with them.

59 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:27 pm

Bryce Harpy Harp with another Grand Salami...guy is going full Bonds this year.

60 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:27 pm

Well, that was nice and quick.

61 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:27 pm

Blech

62 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:28 pm

[58] My thoughts as well.

63 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:35 pm

Hm.

64 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:38 pm

Right.
Okay, now let's score and let Andrew get the S.

65 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:44 pm

Let's raid Doolittle for some runs.

66 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:45 pm

Or that.

67 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:46 pm

Or not

68 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:49 pm

Nice.
Well, ain't gonna be no Save for our guys tonight.

69 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:50 pm

Hey, a not K out for Andrew!

70 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:52 pm

Seven pitches.
So if we don't score, Miller for the tenth, right?

71 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:53 pm

[70] Binder says ONLY one inning per reliever, right?

72 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:56 pm

Okay! Now, NO PLAYS.

NO PLAYS.

73 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:56 pm

Walk off. We walk a walk off

74 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:57 pm

We walk a want-off.

75 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:57 pm

Yay, I'm pinch running

76 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:58 pm

[74] Jinx

77 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:58 pm

[76] Read carefully...

78 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:58 pm

NO PLAYS.
Christ. What the hell?

79 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:59 pm

I can hear Scooter railing about bad bunting

80 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 8:59 pm

Unbelievable.
Fucking plays. Goddam it.

81 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:00 pm

What in the fuck was the point of that? If you're gonna put Jacoby Ellsbury in, just run him.

82 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:00 pm

[77] I'm blaming the new hound

83 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:02 pm

No. No plays, unless Jacoby sees he can swipe the base.
But keeping Rodriguez' attention on first base is good.

84 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:03 pm

This is a bad baseball team.

85 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:04 pm

Le sigh

86 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:04 pm

Unbefuckinglievable.

Just had to do it. Just had to be smart.

87 RIYank   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:05 pm

Stupid, boneheaded plays today. Didi CS, now Ellsbury.
Girardi isn't the worst manager at this kind of thing, but he sure has his weaknesses.

88 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:12 pm

Barbato needs a nickname

89 coleman42   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:13 pm

Barbato pitching really well, a keeper.

90 coleman42   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:14 pm

"Johnny-be-good!"

91 coleman42   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:14 pm

Go Johnny go

92 coleman42   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:16 pm

Barbathoven?

93 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:18 pm

WHY WHY WHY can't one of the best relievers in baseball throw more than 8 pitches?? So infuriating...

94 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:20 pm

This one goes to eleven

95 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:24 pm

Ruh roh

96 rbj   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:29 pm

Blech, night all. Gotta get up in the morning

97 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:31 pm

Hit with risp. What Goddamn novel concept

98 coleman42   ~  Apr 19, 2016 9:36 pm

Going quietly now.......

99 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 20, 2016 5:46 am

[55] No you didn't. because I married the other. "What's the score?" "Yanks are down by one." "So they lost." "Well, it's only the...forget it."

Absolutely no room for nuance. I never even tell her when the game is tied. Pointless.

100 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 20, 2016 6:34 am

55 and 99) LOL!
