"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Get Out of Town

The count was 3-2 as it so often is with Aaron Judge. Top of the 9th and here comes the breaking pitch, darting out of the strike zone, and there goes Judge swinging and missing as he sets the mark for consecutive games with a strike out for a non-pitcher. On the other hand, earlier in the game he a ball so far that it reached the third deck, and it took awhile for everyone to wrap their head around what they’d just seen.

Oh, and the Yanks won—dancing around a competent performance by junk-ballin’ Jamie Garcia—5-3.

Is it too much to ask for a sweep? Perhaps. Baseball has a way of punishing you when you ask for such things. But it is not too much to ask Luis Severino to go out there, not mince around and put heads to bed.

Never mind the gluttony:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Gift lead off double

2 seamus   ~  Aug 17, 2017 6:18 pm

That was an absolutely terrible AB by Judge against a guy who wasn't throwing strikes. He swung at two balls.

3 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2017 6:22 pm

Gary! RISP success and then some

4 seamus   ~  Aug 17, 2017 6:22 pm

Now that's better. SHERIFF!

5 seamus   ~  Aug 17, 2017 6:27 pm

My kind of inning

6 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:03 pm

Ah yes, pitchers hitting. I hate it

7 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:12 pm

Sheriff! He's just a beast on 'O'

8 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:12 pm

I love pitchers hitting, way to go Sevvy. But base to base.

Or how about a salami

9 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:13 pm

Brett!

10 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:16 pm

Like this winning street but the Sawx keep on winning too (see that comeback against STL the other night?)

11 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:17 pm

Ouch, that ball goes to the DL

12 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:20 pm

Sheriff!

13 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:22 pm

I approve of that inning

14 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:26 pm

Well, it's nice to get home from work and tune in to find it 7-0 to the good!

Evening all!

15 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:28 pm

[14] Yo cult! You still west coastin'? I visited L.A. for the first time, caught a game at Dodger Stadium, was glorious.

16 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:29 pm

We need to find a better nickname for Severino than Sevvy.

He's far too good to have such a lazy nickname.

17 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:31 pm

[15] OK!

Howdy!

Yeah, I'm still in SoCal ... down in the OC!

18 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:34 pm

[17] Nice, we were staying next to Redondo Beach. Morning walks there then baseball at 4pm was awesome, but with no car..kind of stuck!

19 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:39 pm

How long were you in LA for? And why?

20 seamus   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:40 pm

Rbj - didn't you have an interview today? How'd it go?

21 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:40 pm

To echo #13 ... I approve of that inning!

22 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:41 pm

[19] About 10 days, kids in summer camps and wife doing some work stuff. I killed time on the beach eating Mexican food :)

23 seamus   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:44 pm

Sevy cruising.

24 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:45 pm

[20] nope, just set it up. August 29. In Cleveland. But it's only an hour. I'm used to academic ones which are a day and a half

25 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:47 pm

Well, heck, if I'd known I'd have suggested meeting up for a game ... or tacos ... or something.

26 seamus   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:47 pm

[24] ah ok. Good luck when it comes!

27 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:54 pm

Thanks Seamus. I'm stir crazy without work

28 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 17, 2017 7:54 pm

[25] Should be back next year again as the family loved it, so will get in touch via our mutual rhythmically inclined friend!

29 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 8:01 pm

Oww, Gary, oww!

30 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 8:02 pm

Sounds good! Are you strictly bound to a specific narrow timeframe? I ask because the Yankees are usually in town for the Angels in the June/July timeframe ...

31 seamus   ~  Aug 17, 2017 8:12 pm

Two hits for bird tonight. Would be interesting if he finds his stroke quickly.

32 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 8:14 pm

Guess he ... misjudged that!

33 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 8:16 pm

Sigh. Gary.

34 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 17, 2017 8:20 pm

[30] Depends on work, but should know by Spring 2018 for sure. Would be great to see the Yanks in the Big A! Could have a Banter together if Hank Waddles is still there?

35 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 8:24 pm

Might happen! We should tell Nostra to schedule a gig out here at the same time!

36 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 17, 2017 8:26 pm

[35] As long as he doesn't bring those nasty IPAs along. Was an adventure finding good stouts in L.A.

37 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2017 8:32 pm

Wow, Shreve is hitting

38 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 8:33 pm

[36] No kidding. I oft despair of the current craft beer scene ... so many beers, so few interesting (to my palate) choices.

39 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2017 8:35 pm

Ah, fellow IPA haters. It is too hoppy

40 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 17, 2017 8:45 pm

[39] Horribly Hoppy.
[36] One nice beer joint with great food in Hermosa Beach, 3/4 menu was IPAs. Nice Lagers and Pilsners too though thankfully.

41 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 8:51 pm

Sigh ... Judge seems due for a recall ...

42 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 8:56 pm

Grrrrr ... Mitchell, don't fuck this up.

43 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2017 8:56 pm

Hmm, not liking this

44 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 8:58 pm

He's yanking EVERYTHING

45 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 9:00 pm

Just. Fucking. Awful.

46 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 9:00 pm

EVEN. FUCKING. WORSE.

47 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2017 9:00 pm

Fuck

48 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 17, 2017 9:01 pm

Wait, what? 7-5.. I missed something very very bad?

49 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 9:02 pm

Well, at least Betances gets to come in with a clean slate ... so, uh ... thanks, Bryan!

50 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 9:02 pm

Night all.

Next up, the hated Rivals

Oh and stupid non uniforms

59 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2017 9:09 pm

G'nite all

60 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 17, 2017 9:15 pm

[58] I like the funky uniforms and nicknames! Add some fun to MLB :)
