The Little Third Baseman That Could

red woman bags walking

Ronald Torreyes is not just a cute mascot who is hosted on Didi Gregorius’s shoulders every time A-Aron Judge homers. Last night, he made a trio of terrific plays in the field and then came through with a looping base hit in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Yanks a much-needed, 2-1 win.

Masahiro Tanaka was excellent, he looked like his old self, and matching him was Yu Darvish.

Alas, Chris Carter—who made a few nice scoops at first last night—has gone the way of Garrett Jones and any number of other sluggers picked up on the cheap in the hopes that they would catch fire. Carter never did with the Yanks and he was DFA’d after the game. Seems like a good dude. And while this is likely a wise move by the team, and I won’t miss watching Carter’s at bats, I always feel badly when things don’t work out. Then again, he is making $3.5 million this year so I am not too broken up about it.

And Tyler Austin gets called up so be nice to see him again.

It is muggier than muggy today. Afternoon game at the Stadium.

Never mind the stupidity:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

2 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 24, 2017 12:16 pm

That's what ya get for walking the lead off guy.

3 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2017 12:25 pm

Damn, that's going to come back and bite the Yankees in the ass

4 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 24, 2017 12:25 pm

Sigh. The sun's not yellow it's chicken.

5 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2017 12:25 pm

Phew

6 51cq24   ~  Jun 24, 2017 12:29 pm

mason williams leading off? what the hell?

7 51cq24   ~  Jun 24, 2017 12:44 pm

why is headley taking up a spot on the bench when he can't play and the dl is only 10 days now?

8 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 24, 2017 12:53 pm

Austin struck out in three pitches. He sucks. Bring Carter back.

9 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 24, 2017 12:58 pm

Paulie has a fidget spinner? I just bought one today.

10 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2017 1:29 pm

Well that was a good nap spoiled. 3-0?

11 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2017 1:36 pm

Nice, Didii

12 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 24, 2017 1:43 pm

I can play first.

13 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 24, 2017 1:48 pm

Ugh. Where's the Score Truck?

14 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 24, 2017 1:48 pm

This is infuriating.

15 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 24, 2017 1:50 pm

Oh good, the dregs of the bullpen are here.

16 51cq24   ~  Jun 24, 2017 1:58 pm

the two guys who hit in yesterday's game get benched today. interesting strategy.

17 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 24, 2017 2:02 pm

Yay!

18 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2017 2:03 pm

Judge gavels another dinger

19 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 24, 2017 2:07 pm

Woo-hoo. I turn my attention to House of Cards and miss seeing the Judgement live.

20 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 24, 2017 2:09 pm

Well, gas up the score truck guys, I gotta get some shut eye. I expect a win when I wake up.

21 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2017 2:11 pm

Boo

22 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 24, 2017 2:12 pm

The focus on Clippard has masked how terrible Holder is.

23 51cq24   ~  Jun 24, 2017 2:12 pm

have the yankees ever had a bullpen this bad?

24 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 24, 2017 2:18 pm

You can always tell when Joe is panicking because he falls back *hard* on pointless matchups.

25 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2017 2:24 pm

Hard to win when you aren't scoring runs

26 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 24, 2017 2:25 pm

Atta boy, Tyler. Fuck!

27 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 24, 2017 2:26 pm

This really is appalling.

28 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2017 2:26 pm

We're losing to a Bibens-Dirkx

29 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 24, 2017 2:34 pm

[28] Completely dominated by a Bibens-Dirkx

30 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2017 2:50 pm

Sigh

31 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 24, 2017 2:50 pm

I'm over Clippard.

32 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 24, 2017 3:00 pm

Is Carter still around? Tyler could grab a ride.

33 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2017 3:00 pm

Jeebus. When even Kay can predict what's going to happen . . .

34 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2017 3:14 pm

Blech!

35 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jun 25, 2017 5:50 am

Bibens-Dirkx...what?

36 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2017 1:09 pm

All right, let's try this again.

37 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2017 1:17 pm

Ugh

38 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 25, 2017 1:21 pm

I can't bear to watch anymore. Please tell me when it's over.

39 51cq24   ~  Jun 25, 2017 1:29 pm

what's with girardi resting multiple regulars per game?

40 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2017 1:45 pm

Fer fuck's sake. Time to do some chores.

41 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2017 2:16 pm

Now they just need a grand slam for the homer cycle.

42 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 25, 2017 2:31 pm

Tyler Austin hurt sliding feet first. Wonderful.

43 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2017 2:34 pm

What now, Hicks injured?

44 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2017 2:46 pm

Judge overrules the shutout.

45 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2017 2:50 pm

Gery comes through.

46 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 25, 2017 2:52 pm

The Franchise.

47 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2017 3:10 pm

Why in hell was Chase running there?

48 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 25, 2017 3:11 pm

WTF, Chase!

49 51cq24   ~  Jun 25, 2017 3:21 pm

every time al downing's name comes up, kay mentions he gave up hank aaron's 715th home run in order to say downing didn't let that define him

50 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 25, 2017 3:28 pm

Rom Ron goes boom.

51 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2017 3:28 pm

Toe!

52 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 25, 2017 3:29 pm

Being the owner of a terrible back. I wish Didi would stop picking up his mates. Especially Judge. Now where's the Advil.

53 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 25, 2017 3:44 pm

Sweet! Fuck!

54 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2017 3:44 pm

To within one

55 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 25, 2017 3:44 pm

Why is Sanchez trying to go to third there? Who does he think he is? Jorge Posada?

56 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2017 3:49 pm

Hey, who's this Betances kid?

57 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 25, 2017 4:00 pm

Modammit, Tyler!!! Grrrrrrr......

58 51cq24   ~  Jun 25, 2017 4:02 pm

I would have bunted Austin there

59 51cq24   ~  Jun 25, 2017 4:09 pm

No reason to pinch hit one of your best hitters with a man in scoring position down one run in the 8th

60 51cq24   ~  Jun 25, 2017 4:23 pm

Girardi needs to go. This is insanity. Can we replace him with David Cone please?

61 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2017 4:25 pm

Up to Gary now.

62 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2017 4:29 pm

Rats

63 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2017 6:56 pm

3-4 weeks for Hicks, but I'm close to a return
