"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

The Kids Are Alright

Sorry I’ve been remiss you guys.

What I like is that after losing that tough game in Texas—the first time all season I’ve gotten really irked, especially cause you cause see it coming even when they were up 10-5—our boys came back and won last night against a good Angels team.

The kid Ohtani is something and had a great at bat against Aroldis Chapman. He fouled off a 2-1 pitch to left field that was damn near a home run. It was was on the most incredible foul balls I can remember seeing in a long time. Wow, that ab was electric.

Gleyer Torres continues to delight. The kid is so cute and so good! Nice fielder and he hit the game-deciding homer last night. That’s 4 games in a row with homers. And tonight we get Greg Bird back.

Super hot in the city with half the town gone for the long weekend.

Never mind the Halos:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Good to hear your "voice" Alex.

Seems they optioned Torreyes to make room for Big Bird. Didn't see that one coming.

Maybe they're trying to showcase Austin for a trade?

2 rbj   ~  May 26, 2018 6:08 pm

Watching the Tigers - WS game, even the Tigers broadcasters were remarking about Gleybers HR streak and Judges two assists. Even showed highlights

3 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 26, 2018 6:18 pm

Stuck with Buck, but Smoltz is good. Toreyes will be back.

4 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 26, 2018 6:20 pm

Hope we see the good Sonny tonight.

5 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 26, 2018 6:21 pm

errrrr

6 rbj   ~  May 26, 2018 6:21 pm

Welp, Trout is good. Real good

7 Boatzilla   ~  May 26, 2018 6:23 pm

I hate this Fox team. I thought I got used to Smoltzie, but his voice it irritating me.

8 cult of basebaal   ~  May 26, 2018 6:23 pm

[4] I'll take adequate Sonny with this lineup ...

9 Boatzilla   ~  May 26, 2018 6:26 pm

Let's be honest, these ugly camo unis are all about merchandising.

10 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 26, 2018 6:27 pm

Looks like adequate Sonny is here. Bull pen by 6.

11 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 26, 2018 6:28 pm

Boat... you are 100% right

12 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 26, 2018 6:30 pm

Boone is a player's manager. Didi should not be where he is in the batting order. GARDI!!!!

13 cult of basebaal   ~  May 26, 2018 6:30 pm

GRITTY!

14 rbj   ~  May 26, 2018 6:30 pm

Grit er ties it up right quick

15 cult of basebaal   ~  May 26, 2018 6:31 pm

ALL RISE!

16 Boatzilla   ~  May 26, 2018 6:31 pm

Wow!

17 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 26, 2018 6:31 pm

back to back.Judgement

18 rbj   ~  May 26, 2018 6:32 pm

Belly to belly

19 cult of basebaal   ~  May 26, 2018 6:34 pm

That was just pathetic from Stanton.

20 Boatzilla   ~  May 26, 2018 6:35 pm

I still feel like we haven't seen the real Stanton yet.

21 cult of basebaal   ~  May 26, 2018 6:42 pm

[20] I hope not ...

22 rbj   ~  May 26, 2018 6:54 pm

Even the BUC is getting in on the party

23 Boatzilla   ~  May 26, 2018 6:56 pm

BUC? Something "catcher."

24 cult of basebaal   ~  May 26, 2018 6:58 pm

Back Up Catcher.

25 Boatzilla   ~  May 26, 2018 7:00 pm

[21] Ha! In retrospect, it all sounds like sarcasm.

26 cult of basebaal   ~  May 26, 2018 7:03 pm

Bugger Fuck.

27 rbj   ~  May 26, 2018 7:11 pm

Shit

28 Boatzilla   ~  May 26, 2018 7:13 pm

Sonny is not a good pitcher.

29 cult of basebaal   ~  May 26, 2018 7:21 pm

[28] Probably a better pitcher than Didi is a hitter at this point ...

30 cult of basebaal   ~  May 26, 2018 7:24 pm

Yeah, what [19] said.

Jebus.

31 Boatzilla   ~  May 26, 2018 7:36 pm

His starts are exasperating.

32 rbj   ~  May 26, 2018 7:37 pm

Fuck. Don’t pitch to Trout

33 Boatzilla   ~  May 26, 2018 7:38 pm

Trout eats this guy for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

34 cult of basebaal   ~  May 26, 2018 7:39 pm

[33] And 2nd breakfasts and midnight snacks ...

35 Boatzilla   ~  May 26, 2018 7:39 pm

Is there such a thing as Trout Fishing?

36 rbj   ~  May 26, 2018 8:07 pm

20 foot hit. At best

37 rbj   ~  May 26, 2018 8:19 pm

Blegh

38 rbj   ~  May 26, 2018 8:22 pm

Just hold up four fingers when Trouts at the plate

39 rbj   ~  May 26, 2018 8:26 pm

Sigh

40 thelarmis   ~  May 26, 2018 8:29 pm

I’m on a lovely date night with my very pretty wife in West Midtown Atlanta. But wanted to chime in to say that this is a boatload or fucking bollocks!

43 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 26, 2018 8:48 pm

Strikeout!

47 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2018 12:21 pm

good start for Tanaka. like the K vs Ohtani.

48 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2018 12:30 pm

I saw old friend Chris Carter playing for Rochester last night. Those were some grim starts for the Yanks.

49 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2018 1:21 pm

still waiting for Stanton to show up.

50 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2018 1:28 pm

All I want for my bday is for Didi to get a few rbis. /shameless self promotion.

51 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2018 1:33 pm

Bird Salami. How about it?

52 rbj   ~  May 27, 2018 1:34 pm

I’ll take it

53 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2018 1:34 pm

as we say in our 55+ softball league, "a walks's a run."

54 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2018 1:34 pm

Happy Birthday, Just Fair! It’s my brothers’ birthday today as well.

Into their bully already.

55 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2018 1:34 pm

Ara... Happy birthday!

56 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2018 1:37 pm

57 rbj   ~  May 27, 2018 1:38 pm

And those as well.

58 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2018 1:38 pm

I tell you Susan, baseball is a strange game. runs on a walk, a HP, and a FC.

59 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2018 1:43 pm

Thanks, gang. I'll take 3 garbage runs.

60 rbj   ~  May 27, 2018 1:59 pm

Of course it’s Connie Mack

61 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2018 2:16 pm

I don’t think Connie Mack wore a puckered asshole face every game like scioscia.

62 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 27, 2018 2:17 pm

guess this officially a "quality start."

63 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2018 2:20 pm

I weep for Didi. : (

64 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2018 2:26 pm

75 rbj   ~  May 27, 2018 3:38 pm

76 rbj   ~  May 27, 2018 3:45 pm

1 pm tomorrow.

77 Boatzilla   ~  May 28, 2018 3:16 am

These early-ass games are killing me.

I took a nap until 3:00 AM then stayed up until the Yanks had the game "in hand" after the 4th. I had to see the "big match up."

Good thing they won. I think I will give the next one a hard pass.

78 Boatzilla   ~  May 28, 2018 3:19 am

Raise your hand if you rather seen Frazier in the line up than Stanton right now [raises hand].

Maybe we can package Sonny and Wade for a real pitcher.

79 Boatzilla   ~  May 28, 2018 12:01 pm

Weird line up today. Walker at DH. Stanton sits. Torres bats 5th.

80 rbj   ~  May 28, 2018 12:12 pm

Mid 90s here. Brick hot

81 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 28, 2018 12:21 pm

I don't think it matters what lineup verlander faces. Sonofabitch.

82 rbj   ~  May 28, 2018 12:35 pm

Shit!

83 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 28, 2018 12:36 pm

Well this game is over. Swell.

84 Boatzilla   ~  May 28, 2018 12:56 pm

Well, they made him work. Maybe we get him out of the game before the 8th.

85 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 28, 2018 1:13 pm

That is LAZY.

86 thelarmis   ~  May 28, 2018 1:39 pm

And the shit sox are winning big, because of course they are. I could get an extra base hit in that joke of a ballpark.

87 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 28, 2018 1:46 pm

Verlander is just awesome. Haven't really seen the like since Koufax

88 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 28, 2018 1:47 pm

any hit by Didi is good at this stage.

89 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 28, 2018 1:52 pm

This isn't going to cut it.

90 rbj   ~  May 28, 2018 1:57 pm

Good thing I wasn't expecting a win today

91 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 28, 2018 2:01 pm

kind of hard to watch this. might have to take a nap so I can watch my Caps tonight.

92 rbj   ~  May 28, 2018 2:07 pm

Nice catch, Gleyber

93 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 28, 2018 2:12 pm

they really need to be first pitch swinging.

94 rbj   ~  May 28, 2018 2:29 pm

Bird flies away. We gots a run.

95 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 28, 2018 2:29 pm

And that's Word to Big Bird.

96 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 28, 2018 2:37 pm

Didi!

97 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 28, 2018 2:41 pm

maybe we have a shot with V out.

98 rbj   ~  May 28, 2018 2:43 pm

Watched the Astros Indians game yesterday. Epic bullpen melt down.

99 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 28, 2018 2:46 pm

114 rbj   ~  May 29, 2018 8:28 pm

You rarely win four error games.

115 Boatzilla   ~  May 29, 2018 8:57 pm

[114] How about 5 error games? Sheesh.

Amazingly they are still in it and thankfully Morton's not.

116 Boatzilla   ~  May 29, 2018 9:18 pm

Well, we have them were we want them. ;>) Two hot rookies then the top of the order.

117 Boatzilla   ~  May 29, 2018 9:22 pm

A walk to Andujar?! That's gotta be a good sign.

Why don't I feel good about Stanton up now?

122 Boatzilla   ~  May 29, 2018 9:30 pm

Not Stantonian, but we'll take it.

159 Boatzilla   ~  May 30, 2018 7:31 pm

[155] Yes. It's close, but I think the Red Sox have more "bash."

160 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 30, 2018 7:32 pm

2 of 3 against the mighty 'Stros? I approve, let's get some insurance runs! BTW, you guys seen Mike Trout's stats for the season so far? Holy Cow!

Caps win. This is the first finals we DC area sports fans have had since the last time the Skins won, back in the Stone Age.

BTW, dream WS: Yanks vs. Nats. Love to see how Scherzer would match up with Sevi.
