It wasn’t an enjoyable game as contests go but the Yanks romped (11-5) so how bad could it be?
Aaron Judge hit a pair and it got me thinking—when is a pitcher going to brush him back? I mean, the Sox have tried to hit Manny Machado five times now and have yet to succeed. Don Drysdale can roll over all he wants, throwing inside just isn’t done these days.
That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if Marcus Stroman makes Judge skip tonight, something to make him a little uneasy. Because goddman, the man is comfortable right now. And my is it ever a pleasure to watch.
Never mind getaway day:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Yes Martin, way to show up the ump
It's bad CC. Long evening
Matt! 300th homer
Finally. Me thinks CC is cooked
Hot damn, Judgement!
Flying solo, rbj!
Just checking in to say: the games are often fun even when we're losing.
rbj, did you see the triple play the O's pulled against Boston yesterday? Or better to put it: the triple play that the Sox handed the O's on a silver platter?
Hey, it's good CC
No, I missed that. Why no infield rule?
This is just Silly with Judge. But wonderful.
(God the ump in Boston really spit the bit tonight. They got some bad ju ju up there.)
Well, it was maybe 20 feet out on the OF grass.
I don't know if the call was wrong, but man did those bozos looks stupid. Yeah, could be the Adam Jones mojo...
I accept both of those walks, by the way.
However, I strongly reject that DP.
Blergh.
Wasn't there an IF rule called against the Yankees at 40 feet on the grass?
This game is still winnable, maybe put Warren in
Oh boy.
Might need double digits from our bats tonight.
Thank you, Joe
[14] Maybe. It's a judgment call, I believe.
But if no ump calls it, you gotta run when the ball falls. And the batter (Bradley, I think) didn't run either.
I guess I was foolish to believe I would never have to ask this question.
Why the fuck is Torreyes playing SS?
[19] Mistaken identity?
[20] Ha!
Isn't that awesome?
Aaron a judge ABs are appointment tv
Come on, wild pitch!
I'm surprised they aren't IBBing Torreyes to get to Higashioka.
Hey, Michael saw that picture too!
Hm. So, game on the line, the batter has zero hits in his career. I guess you can't PH...
Aw crap, Saturdays game is on Fox, Sundays is on the network that fired Jayson Stark.
[27] 5th inning.
Nerts
Yeah. Well, nice try, kid.
[29] Also most important AB of the game. Maybe break with tradition?
Shades of Paulie
[4] I popped by to ask if it's back to CC-is-cooked, but you beat me to it. I don't really see any games any more, the box scores are not encouraging.
Singles by Judge are . . . Disappointing
Tied up!
Toe is the emergency catcher, why pull him?
Lead! And not even an out
Insurance
One down
Two down
Strike three?
Grrr
Baseball Gods make it right.
Night, me?
I went out to buy lights with the wife and come home to a sparkling W.
It's a Win-Win day.
Where's my baseball???
I don't want a day off.
