"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Clapping and Cheering

Goodness, that felt good. Comeback against the Sox, big night for Gardner, tough at bats from Neil Walker and Stanton and the kids, Andujar and Torres, a loud home run from Aaron Judge against Kimbrel. The only blip was some middle-reliever ineptitude, but the Yanks are hot, and so that outplayed their mistakes and won again.

Tonight, C.C. goes for the gravy. But even if the Yanks lose, they’ve won the series and that’s a beautiful thing.

Clear, crisp, cool spring night in the Bronx.

Back at it.

Never mind the pollen:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Sweep, sweep, sweep. I want a sweep.

3 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 6:16 pm

Nice recovery.

4 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 6:23 pm

Would have sat Didi tonight ... played Torreyes or Torres at SS.

5 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 6:30 pm
6 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 6:37 pm

Grrrr ... cheapie.

7 rbj   ~  May 10, 2018 6:39 pm

Oy

8 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 6:39 pm

He's out.

9 rbj   ~  May 10, 2018 6:39 pm

Yes

10 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 6:40 pm

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand ... OUT!

11 seamus   ~  May 10, 2018 6:40 pm

Hi all. Haven't been watching a lot of games live. Tonight is a rare night. Glad they overturned.

12 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 6:41 pm

Good challenge from Boone.

13 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 6:43 pm

[11] Last 2 nights have been pretty epic, let's hope you're here for a 3rd!

14 seamus   ~  May 10, 2018 6:47 pm

[13] Yeah I watched on delay. But that usually means lying on my ass on the couch and not posting here. Good to see you cult!

15 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 6:51 pm

[14] You as well!

Man, that 8th inning last night was EPIC ... I might have watched it 3 or 4 times.

Blew up Nostra's phone afterwards!

16 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 6:53 pm

Uh oh, not a good start to this inning for CC

17 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 6:54 pm

I can't stand that shit.

18 rbj   ~  May 10, 2018 6:54 pm

Ruh roh

19 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 6:57 pm

It continues to not be a good start to this inning ...

20 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 6:58 pm

This is some nickel and dime bullshit.

21 rbj   ~  May 10, 2018 7:02 pm

Blergh

22 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 7:03 pm

[20] What you said ...

23 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 7:04 pm

That's an e4. Give me a break.

24 seamus   ~  May 10, 2018 7:04 pm

CC not sharp eh?

25 seamus   ~  May 10, 2018 7:04 pm

[15] oh yeah i watched replays over and over last night and this morning.

26 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 7:04 pm

[21] DOUBLE BLERGH

27 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 10, 2018 7:06 pm

CC doesn't have it today? :(

28 rbj   ~  May 10, 2018 7:07 pm

Finally

29 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 7:07 pm

Not good, but could have gotten much worse.

30 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 7:11 pm

THAT'S FUCKING BULLSHIT, BLUE.

TWICE.

31 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 7:18 pm

O'Neill on a roll this inning ...

32 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 10, 2018 7:21 pm

[31] How so? I really like when he takes you through an AB and the hitter's adjustments. Anything else though he's a bit of a dolt.. :)

33 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 7:27 pm

Let go here. Get a few.

34 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 7:28 pm

[32] Do you not get MLB.tv? Please don't tell me you're forced to endure Sterling/Waldman ...

35 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 7:30 pm

O'Neill called ball 6 on Gleber's caught looking. It's refreshing when the announcers don't sugar coat a shit strike zone. Lol...

36 rbj   ~  May 10, 2018 7:30 pm

Stanton is heating up

37 rbj   ~  May 10, 2018 7:32 pm

Fuck you, blue

38 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 7:32 pm

That's not a Fucking strike!

39 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 7:33 pm

Aaaaaaargh.

Should be 2nd and 3rd.

Also shouldn't have been strike 2 on Sanchez

40 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 7:38 pm

[35] Also, he made a veiled reference to (likely) teenage masturbation as well as ragging on Arod and JLo ...

41 seamus   ~  May 10, 2018 7:38 pm

c'mon Austin. Let's do this!

42 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 7:38 pm

Way to come back from that bullshit 2nd strike call, Gary.

Don't have much confidence in Austin here ...

Maybe a SF?

43 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 7:39 pm

2-0 slop. Rats!

44 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 7:39 pm

[42] TERRIBLE fucking swing on ball 3.

45 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 7:39 pm

Nice ab, Tyler.

46 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 7:40 pm

Not a strike, but if you don't swing at balls 3 and 4 ... YOU'RE ALREADY ON FUCKING 1ST BASE.

47 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 10, 2018 7:40 pm

[34] Oh, I do! Just am at the office now so only have Gameday on my phone, not listening to the radio. (And never Ma & Pa Sterling, always the away feed if listening while on the train)

48 rbj   ~  May 10, 2018 7:42 pm

Rats

49 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 7:42 pm

Sub-optimal.

50 seamus   ~  May 10, 2018 7:43 pm

Anujuar is coming back around I think. Too bad he hit that to the deep part of the park

51 rbj   ~  May 10, 2018 7:47 pm

Shit

52 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 7:47 pm

[50] I hope Drury is back soon.

Oh joy, 4-0

53 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 7:47 pm

How about a replay on that check swing. Shit!

54 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 7:49 pm

[50] The difference in watching Andujar and Torres at bats is so very striking.

55 seamus   ~  May 10, 2018 8:02 pm

[54] No doubt. Torres is unique for a youngster in so many ways. I believe in Andujar though. His learning curve is just a bit steeper when it comes to staying in the zone.

56 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 8:10 pm

[55] Andujar looks like one of those guys who hasn't learned the difference between "could and should". I just don't know how much time the Yankees will give him to learn that this year (or ever), especially if Drury comes back and hits (or even if Bird comes back and they want to get Walker at bats at 3rd).

57 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 10, 2018 8:14 pm

[56] Does Drury deserve to come back and start?

58 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 8:21 pm

[57] Andujar OPS:

Last 28 days - .938
Last 14 days - .603
Last 7 days - .461

So yeah, I'd give Drury a shot when he's back healthy.

59 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 10, 2018 8:22 pm

[58] He's young, let him bat 9th and move up Gleyber. The lineup can survive him slumping.

60 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 8:31 pm

Bird started his rehab tonight, he should be back before the end of the month.

61 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 8:34 pm

3/4 of a season with Bird hitting behind Gary sure would be fine.

62 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 8:37 pm

[61] Sure hope he can escape being Nick Johnson v2 ...

63 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 10, 2018 8:42 pm

[62] I think Youk & Stephen Drew are still unsigned if they need a backup/replacement with 'veteran presents'

64 rbj   ~  May 10, 2018 8:45 pm

Oh, Dustin Fowler gets to play in Yankk Stadium tomorrow, he of the horrific injury last year. I hope he gets a good ovation.

65 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 8:46 pm

[63] Eh, they've already got Adam Lind in the minors ... he had an .898 OPS against RHP last year ...

66 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 8:47 pm

[64] Yeah, YES mentioned his first MLB at bat the other night. VERY happy for him. Also mentioned he's got a suit going over the complete exposure of the electrical box that tore up his knee ... hope he wins that.

67 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 8:53 pm

Game's back on.

68 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 8:54 pm

SON OF A BITCH.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ... for Gritner.

69 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 8:57 pm

MLB network made a deal about Fowler and his comeback the other day. Seeing him wreck his knee live last year was brutal. Girardi ran out and rubbed both his hands over his eyes he felt so sick for the kid. And they brought up Moonlight Graham of course.

70 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 9:09 pm

Not the Yankees' night tonight it seems ...

71 rbj   ~  May 10, 2018 9:09 pm

Not seeing much energy tonight.

72 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 10, 2018 9:12 pm

[71] Sunny Friday morning here so I'm lacking energy too, thinking of beer o'clock with only half-an-eye on the game.

73 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 9:14 pm

Uh oh, Betances in the pouring rain ...

74 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 9:20 pm

[71] [72] Not feeling this one tonight ... one eye on the game while listening to live versions of Crosseyed And Painless ...

75 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 9:28 pm

Then again ...

76 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 9:29 pm

Work your magic, Cora.

77 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 9:30 pm

[74] Hmmmm ... Adrian Belew was in the band at some point? Have to listen to more of some of these live tracks ...

78 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 9:31 pm

One hit changes everything.

79 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 9:33 pm

That 2-0 pitch was a strike against at least 2 Yankees tonight.

80 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 9:35 pm

I like it.

81 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 9:37 pm

Hell yeah!

82 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 9:38 pm

New ballgame.

83 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 9:38 pm

Oh, me, oh my Gritner.

84 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 9:41 pm

[73] Should have kept raining ...

85 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 9:53 pm

Good start.

86 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 9:59 pm

The Kid can hit.

87 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 10:05 pm

Foiled.

88 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 10:17 pm

Feeling greedy. Why not another crazy walk off?

89 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 10:26 pm

Not tonight.

Everything just a little off.

90 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 10, 2018 10:27 pm

Congrats, Assholes. You doing get swept.

91 cult of basebaal   ~  May 10, 2018 10:30 pm

Lol...

93 Evil Empire   ~  May 11, 2018 10:11 am

I believe I jixed the Yanks by commenting yesterday at the end of the thread. Hopefully the Yanks can keep winning series though.

94 rbj   ~  May 11, 2018 6:15 pm

Good start for Sonny

95 rbj   ~  May 11, 2018 6:25 pm

Welp, at least it’s a solo shot

96 rbj   ~  May 11, 2018 6:26 pm

That one wasn’t.

97 cult of basebaal   ~  May 11, 2018 6:31 pm

John Flaherty in the YES Booth, speaking of the Gray/Romine battery ... "It's hard to explain, but something just works between these two guys"

Next 3 batters: long homerun, bullet single, long homerun.

LOL.

98 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 11, 2018 6:31 pm

Good thing Gary is really catching. It’d be 6-0 by now.

99 rbj   ~  May 11, 2018 6:31 pm

Good to see Dustin playing

Gleyber gets one back

Gray is just getting hammered out there.

Good for the kid!

i wonder how hard it is to hit against someone when you know he's making a concerted effort to throw more mediocre fastballs

107 rbj   ~  May 11, 2018 7:04 pm

Congrats, Dustin. Now, how about some outs

108 cult of basebaal   ~  May 11, 2018 7:05 pm

Andujar botched that one

116 Boatzilla   ~  May 11, 2018 7:51 pm

I just turned on in the 5th, so I saw all the Yankees offense. Must have been a hard slog for you all.

117 Boatzilla   ~  May 11, 2018 7:53 pm

Can we assume "The Romine Factor" has now been proved to be a fallacy?

Get Sanchez in the goddamn game.

[117] Lettuce do that

119 Boatzilla   ~  May 11, 2018 8:03 pm

[117] Ouch. Sometimes I goof up and call him Romaine. Tonight he's been as hot as an iceberg.

120 rbj   ~  May 11, 2018 8:04 pm

Dang, nice play

121 Boatzilla   ~  May 11, 2018 8:12 pm

Why does the YES network insist on staying on the air during this song? I guessing that the Yankees are the only team still doing this.

122 cult of basebaal   ~  May 11, 2018 8:15 pm

Andujar perfecting the ground ball in the hole the SS just can't quite make the play on.

123 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 11, 2018 8:16 pm

142 cult of basebaal   ~  May 11, 2018 8:37 pm

[138] Didi has to come through there. He's the one with the out to play with.

143 cult of basebaal   ~  May 11, 2018 8:38 pm

And with this team Boon-ey, you CAN use a good reliever down 1 run late in a game.

Just sayin'

144 cult of basebaal   ~  May 11, 2018 8:48 pm

Also ... why is Didi still batting where he is ... move up Walker or Hicks.

Also ... I was about to fly to NY and strangle Boone if Sanchez didn't PH for Romaine here ...

Murder charge averted.

145 rbj   ~  May 11, 2018 8:52 pm

Booo

146 cult of basebaal   ~  May 11, 2018 8:52 pm

Didn't work ... but it was the right call.

147 cult of basebaal   ~  May 11, 2018 8:54 pm

So now that the Yankees are 2 runs down, Boone brings on Robertson ... even though he would have brought him in last inning had the Yankees tied it up or taken the lead.

BRILLIANT!

148 cult of basebaal   ~  May 11, 2018 8:56 pm

Nice play from Walker to save that play.

177 rbj   ~  May 12, 2018 2:37 pm

Rats. At least it's tied up

178 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 12, 2018 2:44 pm

Green is money

179 cult of basebaal   ~  May 12, 2018 2:58 pm

180 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 12, 2018 3:02 pm

181 rbj   ~  May 12, 2018 3:03 pm

Dang, Judge just missed.

182 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 12, 2018 3:04 pm

close, but at least a sac fly.

183 cult of basebaal   ~  May 12, 2018 3:05 pm

Good spot there by Kenny, I noticed the same thing on thereplay

184 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 12, 2018 3:05 pm

Didi hit that on the nose.

185 cult of basebaal   ~  May 12, 2018 3:08 pm

That was a HORRIBLE at bat from Stanton

186 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 12, 2018 3:08 pm

on the bright side, Gardi is starting to pick it up.

187 cult of basebaal   ~  May 12, 2018 3:09 pm

I'd bring Betances back out for a 2nd.

188 cult of basebaal   ~  May 12, 2018 3:11 pm

Nope, Chappy

189 cult of basebaal   ~  May 12, 2018 3:13 pm

Guess the days of Bullpen Roulette are not over

190 rbj   ~  May 12, 2018 3:15 pm

191 cult of basebaal   ~  May 12, 2018 3:16 pm

194 cult of basebaal   ~  May 12, 2018 3:18 pm

Damn, mid-AB PH ... don't see that very often.

195 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 12, 2018 3:21 pm

vey

196 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 12, 2018 3:21 pm

Looks like Chapman talked them into leaving him in.

197 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 12, 2018 3:23 pm

every pitch is 96 or 97. no triple digits

198 rbj   ~  May 12, 2018 3:25 pm

He's out

199 cult of basebaal   ~  May 12, 2018 3:25 pm

[197] Yeah, something's not quite right today for him.

Damn, Gardy juuuuust off with that throw.

amazing to get out of that inning unscrew upon

203 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 12, 2018 3:34 pm

extras

204 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 12, 2018 3:38 pm

having watched Cole here in DC, I am not optimistic.

205 rbj   ~  May 12, 2018 3:41 pm

Oy vey

206 cult of basebaal   ~  May 12, 2018 3:42 pm

[204] You burn 4 relievers in 4 innings, you get to the AJ Cole Experience.

Fuck, but I hate Bullpen Roulette

207 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 12, 2018 3:48 pm

what are the odds of a team walking 5 times in 2 innings and not scoring?

208 cult of basebaal   ~  May 12, 2018 3:49 pm

Phew.

Back to back Houdini escape innings.

209 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 12, 2018 4:02 pm

rats.

210 rbj   ~  May 12, 2018 4:13 pm

Can we get a walk off here?

211 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 12, 2018 4:16 pm

let's go Gary. Walk off time.

212 cult of basebaal   ~  May 12, 2018 4:20 pm

Damn, we'll probably need a homer to score Gary here.

213 cult of basebaal   ~  May 12, 2018 4:24 pm

That changes things, slightly

214 rbj   ~  May 12, 2018 4:24 pm

A Walker-off!

215 cult of basebaal   ~  May 12, 2018 4:25 pm

[213] IT DOES!!!

216 cult of basebaal   ~  May 13, 2018 12:25 pm

Game seems doubtful, from the forecasts I've seen.

Bummer.

217 rbj   ~  May 13, 2018 1:04 pm

Rain finally left here, I was able to mow the lawn, but it's been basically two and a half days of rain. I'd just postpone, 1 pm make up tomorrow, an off day for both.

218 cult of basebaal   ~  May 13, 2018 2:14 pm

They're going to try and squeeze it in: 3:45 start time.

219 rbj   ~  May 13, 2018 2:47 pm

Hooray, baseball.

220 cult of basebaal   ~  May 13, 2018 3:00 pm

Damn, supposedly Ripper Robby Cano has a fractured hand ... hope it's as minor as can be ...

221 rbj   ~  May 13, 2018 3:04 pm

Good start.

222 cult of basebaal   ~  May 13, 2018 3:04 pm

All this pink is just ... well, silly ... Brett looks like he's wearing pantyhose ...

223 cult of basebaal   ~  May 13, 2018 3:08 pm

Oh yeah!

[221] Great start!

224 cult of basebaal   ~  May 13, 2018 3:12 pm

Fuck.

Sub-optimal Gary.

225 cult of basebaal   ~  May 13, 2018 3:15 pm

NICE pickup Hicks!

226 rbj   ~  May 13, 2018 3:18 pm

I accept that inning

227 rbj   ~  May 13, 2018 4:13 pm

Dang, shutout gone.

228 cult of basebaal   ~  May 13, 2018 4:14 pm

DAMMIT, Gary.

229 cult of basebaal   ~  May 13, 2018 4:17 pm

Well, 1 run isn't so bad ... if we start scoring again.

230 rbj   ~  May 13, 2018 4:23 pm

Got that run back!

231 cult of basebaal   ~  May 13, 2018 4:24 pm

STANTON time!

232 cult of basebaal   ~  May 13, 2018 5:12 pm

C'mon Hicks, battle back!

233 rbj   ~  May 13, 2018 5:16 pm

Welp, at least not a DP

234 rbj   ~  May 13, 2018 5:24 pm

Nice, Dellin

235 cult of basebaal   ~  May 13, 2018 5:25 pm

Dancin'!!!

236 cult of basebaal   ~  May 13, 2018 5:30 pm

Dammit, get someone up.

Stat.

237 rbj   ~  May 13, 2018 5:48 pm

One down

238 rbj   ~  May 13, 2018 5:53 pm

Two

239 rbj   ~  May 13, 2018 6:02 pm

Three

240 rbj   ~  May 13, 2018 6:27 pm

Now we just need Boston to start losing

241 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 14, 2018 10:40 am

Really looking forward to a match up of my two teams. Thge Yanks are first in my heart, of course, but I do enjoy the Nats. The weather does not look like it will cooperate, with T-storms in the cast for the next week. Not sure of the rotation, but I would love to see Scherzer matching up with the Yank's lineup. Should be great baseball.

242 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 15, 2018 9:26 am

Tanaka vs Gio tonight, if the T storms hold off

243 cult of basebaal   ~  May 15, 2018 1:58 pm

Cano popped for PEDs (essentially).

80 game suspension.

Say it ain’t so, Robbie. : (
