"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

What the—

After a successful opening day the Yanks got beat twice by the Orioles and ended the first series with a thud. That hollow sound reverberated even more when it was announced that the Big Guy, Mr. Stanton is headed to the injury list.

We having fun yet?

More tonight as the Bombers host the Tigers.

No better time than now, fellas:

Never mind the cobwebs:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

6:30 start.

2 Evil Empire   ~  Apr 1, 2019 5:17 pm

Sometimes it just seems we run into a snakebitten season where everyone's hurt. This is what 2019 already looks like.

3 Shaun P.   ~  Apr 1, 2019 5:32 pm

[2] You aren't kidding - now Andujar is on the IL! Been a rough couple of days in the Bronx...

4 rbj   ~  Apr 1, 2019 5:48 pm

Miggy Jr.? Now what

5 rbj   ~  Apr 1, 2019 6:21 pm

A run, a lead. Maybe I should take the dog for more walks

6 Shaun P.   ~  Apr 1, 2019 6:56 pm

Please Gleyber, don't be hurt by 'em!

7 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 1, 2019 7:06 pm

Atta kid, baby! More strike outs and less walks next time!

8 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 1, 2019 7:10 pm

Lil' G!

9 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 1, 2019 7:17 pm

Be great if Gary has a good start with the bat, need it while Stanty is out..
German looking good overall, let's hope Boone doesn't get silly with the pen.

10 rbj   ~  Apr 1, 2019 7:36 pm

Yay, Bird made a play and didn’t hurt himself

11 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 1, 2019 7:41 pm

I don't know most of these Tigers batters..Mahtook? Greiner?

12 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 1, 2019 7:42 pm

I hope Frazier can get on track and avoid crashing into things.

13 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:01 pm

Lead off walk in the 8th. Ferfuck's sake!

14 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:04 pm

Cabrera looks like he could blow up to 400lbs and still rake line drives

15 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:04 pm

Good start, zero.

16 rbj   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:05 pm

Not good, Otto. I may need some vino

17 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:06 pm

Strikes please

18 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:06 pm

AJ flashes leather.

19 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:07 pm

Wow! Watch that wrist, Judge!

20 rbj   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:07 pm

Ruled out of order

21 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:10 pm

whew.

22 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:10 pm

That's one way to pitch the 8th. Phew.

23 rbj   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:11 pm

Phew

24 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:11 pm

wonder how the Judge does in advanced defense metrics.

25 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:13 pm

[24] I believe last year he rated out very well!

Otto in Inning Ocho..Chapman in for the save now?

26 rbj   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:17 pm

Yup, Deploying the fully operational Chapman

27 rbj   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:20 pm

One down

28 rbj   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:21 pm

That’s two

29 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:23 pm

I like it. Cheers y'all.

30 rbj   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:23 pm

Three!

31 rbj   ~  Apr 1, 2019 8:30 pm

A win is a win, but it’ll be interesting, who’s worse this year, Tigers or Orioles?

32 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 1, 2019 9:47 pm

So I wake up to a nice win, then immediately learn Stanton and Andujar are out. The universe is testing us Yankee fans.

Andujar with torn labrum. Well, fuck me.

I've got two words for Hal and Cash: Manny Machado. Seems like you can never have enough hitting either.

33 thelarmis   ~  Apr 1, 2019 11:15 pm

glad we won, but...

miggy is my man! i'm crushed it's a tear. diving back into 3B is how i originally dislocated my shoulder when i was 15...

thankfully, judge and gleyber avoided wrist injuries today. really hope stanton comes back soon and rakes.

34 rbj   ~  Apr 2, 2019 6:55 am

Possibly season ending surgery for Miggy Jr.? Grumble grumble grumble.

35 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 2, 2019 11:16 am

[34] From RAB: The Andujar injury is brutal. Stanton’s a great player and an important Yankee, but he pulled a muscle and is expected back in a few weeks. It sucks but it’s not the end of the world. Andujar has structural damage in his shoulder and is potentially facing season-ending surgery. Career-altering surgery, maybe, because it is his throwing arm

36 Hank Waddles   ~  Apr 2, 2019 11:30 am

Hearing about Andújar's injury yesterday was one of the knee-buckling moments for me. Just imagine from his perspective -- he spends the entire winter wondering about whether or not he's going to be traded, whether or not Machado is coming to town, whether or not his near ROY season was valued by the Yankees, and then he's finally free of all that. All he has to do is settle in and play third base, and now this. To be honest, I don't even really care about how this might affect the team, I'm just upset for Andújar. So awful.

37 rbj   ~  Apr 2, 2019 5:44 pm

Let’s have an injury free game

38 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 2, 2019 5:48 pm

Nice job from Tanaka getting out of it, let's get some runs.

39 rbj   ~  Apr 2, 2019 5:51 pm

Phew.

40 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 2, 2019 5:55 pm

Yup. I had to look up when Jeter wrecked his shoulder on Opening Day. 2003! Holy shit. Here's to Miguel's full recovery.

41 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 2, 2019 6:22 pm

Boone looks like he's Benjen Stark, North of The Wall ... It isn't *that* cold ...

42 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 2, 2019 6:38 pm

Another phew ...

43 rbj   ~  Apr 2, 2019 6:50 pm

Had to switch to the Nats game, lots of boos for Bryce

44 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 2, 2019 6:53 pm

Winter is Coming!

45 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 2, 2019 7:13 pm

Bugger

46 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 2, 2019 7:13 pm

Risp success? With 2 outs? Who knew?

47 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 2, 2019 7:20 pm

Jesus, this looks like another great pitching performance going to waste. Of course, Zimmerman has been great, too.

48 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 2, 2019 7:22 pm

Voit is a liability a first.

49 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 2, 2019 7:33 pm

Here is Sub-Zero! Now plain zero! - my internal monologue every game that dude putches this year.

50 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 2, 2019 7:38 pm

These new MLB commercials are good.

51 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 2, 2019 7:40 pm

Glad Zim is out. ever notice that they call them "veteran" righties and "crafty"lefties? Zim is a crafty righty.

52 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 2, 2019 7:41 pm

ratz

53 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 2, 2019 7:50 pm

Otto is impressive, but still waiting for DB in the 8th

54 rbj   ~  Apr 2, 2019 7:50 pm

Oh, Johnny Lasagna tomorrow.

55 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 2, 2019 7:54 pm

56 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 2, 2019 7:56 pm

Grrrrr.......

58 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 2, 2019 7:57 pm

Hold 'em here and walk it off.

59 rbj   ~  Apr 2, 2019 8:01 pm

Ruh roh, Luke?

60 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 2, 2019 8:04 pm

crap

61 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 2, 2019 8:05 pm

[43] Never understood why fans do that. Players worked so hard to get the right to become a free agent, they owe the team and city nothing.

Can the Yanks score more than one run please??

62 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 2, 2019 8:05 pm

Sweet. Another possible loss to such a dangerous hitting team. Pukw.

63 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 2, 2019 8:06 pm

C'mon Chapman!!
Kimbrel, Chapman, Gangne, whomever...closers come and flame out, there is only one Mo..

66 rbj   ~  Apr 2, 2019 8:12 pm

[61] I’m a capitalist. I have no problem with someone taking the best deal out there. Not even Wells and Cano.

67 rbj   ~  Apr 2, 2019 8:14 pm

Yeesh

68 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 2, 2019 8:18 pm

Tauchman in an important AB is just..sup-optimal..

69 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 2, 2019 8:20 pm

Absolutely Fucking Bollocks this game. Egads.

70 rbj   ~  Apr 2, 2019 8:24 pm

Boo, boo, boo.

71 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 2, 2019 9:05 pm

[61] [66] Imagine being mad at a friend because he/she moved away to take a higher paying job in another city?

Of course, fan is short for fanatic, so in that sense it makes sense.

72 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 2, 2019 9:06 pm

[68] Why didn't Boone pinchhit Bird for Tauch? Grrr. This season has me all pissed off already. I'm not gonna survive.

73 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 2, 2019 10:06 pm

This from Mike Axisa at RAB: "And finally, what a complete failure by Aaron Boone in the ninth inning. Down two runs and Tauchman bats while Sanchez ends the game standing on deck waiting to pinch-hit? I know Tauchman doubled earlier in the game and ideally Gary would bat with a man on base, but come the hell on, get your best players in the game when you’re down to your last three outs."

I was thinking lefty on righty Bird, but, yeah, why not bat Gary? He was in the on-deck circle when the game ended. [Sigh]

74 yankintexas   ~  Apr 3, 2019 12:21 am

In other news, Philly is looking really good. Amazing what happens when you sign a future hall of fame outfielder just reaching his prime vs shopping at the clearance aisle in Colorado.

75 yankintexas   ~  Apr 3, 2019 12:28 am

[72] Apparently, nobody got Judge’s memo, about playing with urgency. I’m calling it now, this laid back / half comatose team will never win a championship under the laid back / half comatose Boone.

76 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 3, 2019 10:27 am

2 Things:
1) It's the first week in April, and half the team is on the IL. Not yet the time for panic.
2) Today we have afternoon baseball - as a retiree, it's one of life's little pleasures.

77 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 3, 2019 3:36 pm

Afternoon, all (even if it seems like 2 of us).

Spurs and Yankees, a good afternoon.

78 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 3, 2019 3:36 pm

Hopefully.

79 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 3, 2019 3:37 pm

2 out risp fail. Same ol' same ol'.

80 rbj   ~  Apr 3, 2019 3:47 pm

Afternoon all. Back from helping Dad take an angle grinder to some cracks in the garage's cement.

81 rbj   ~  Apr 3, 2019 3:50 pm

I approve of the Judge's ruling.

82 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 3, 2019 3:51 pm

The Judge rules: OPPO ribeye!

83 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 3, 2019 3:51 pm

Ball away ... take it away.

Damn right, Paulie.

84 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 3, 2019 4:01 pm

Huh, Tulo is out ... who could have guessed that ...

85 rbj   ~  Apr 3, 2019 4:02 pm

Well it has been two games since someone went down.

86 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 3, 2019 4:02 pm

Sweet. Tulo lasted 5 games. Inauspicious start to 2019.

87 rbj   ~  Apr 3, 2019 4:09 pm

Left calf strain. Farging wunnerful.

88 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 3, 2019 4:09 pm

Fuck.

He got squeezed on 2 pitches in that at bat.

C'mon blue.

89 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 3, 2019 4:39 pm

So far this year, this team is making me feel like this:

90 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 3, 2019 4:40 pm

And not in the coming out on top Sandor Clegane way ...

91 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 3, 2019 4:44 pm

Ha!

92 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 3, 2019 4:50 pm

Hey look. Risp with 2 outs. What's going to haopen? Hmmmm.....

93 rbj   ~  Apr 3, 2019 4:55 pm

Great, K central.

Off to dinner.

94 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 3, 2019 5:12 pm

Are you Fucking kidding me! So many ks! Grrrrrrrr.......

95 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 3, 2019 5:17 pm

well, Green does what Green does. not much a chance to get back, given that virtually nobody is hitting.

96 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 3, 2019 5:18 pm

btw, nats beat Philly on a walk off walk.

97 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 3, 2019 5:26 pm

99 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 3, 2019 5:30 pm

Good call, Boone. I love a good pinch runner with 2 outs.

I think Boone is getting advice from that TD trade guy.

oh goodie, Yanks vs O's tomorrow in the afternoon.

lose 2 of 3 to O's and Tigers. yeesh.

106 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 3, 2019 5:48 pm

fucking pathetic

107 rbj   ~  Apr 3, 2019 6:36 pm

Dinner out was the better choice

108 yankintexas   ~  Apr 3, 2019 7:12 pm

Boone's and Cashman's narrow minds probably sees this loss, like every other one, as a failing to hit enough solo homeruns.

109 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 3, 2019 9:23 pm

I don't know if you guys noticed, but these Yankees are not very good at hitting the ball. And, BTW, Hal is a cheap-ass bastard.

110 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 4, 2019 1:08 pm

[109] When you have $89 million on the injured list, not surprising that they look like a 4A team.

Beautiful day for a game this afternoon in Bal-more (that's how they pronounce it)

111 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 4, 2019 2:02 pm

Let's go Yanks!

112 rbj   ~  Apr 4, 2019 2:06 pm

I know I'm being greedy, but can we have a win and no one get injured?

113 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 4, 2019 2:11 pm

Nice to have Ken back in the booth

114 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 4, 2019 2:14 pm

2019 so far in a nutshell in that at bat.

Uh oh, Mancini’s up. Why not Otto, it’s a fireman situation.

177 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2019 8:17 pm

Well, semi phew

178 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 6, 2019 8:24 pm

Dear Yankees. Don't fuck this up, please.

179 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2019 8:27 pm

[178] Gary took that as a personal challenge

180 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 6, 2019 8:28 pm

Well. At least he didn't tear his labrum. JFC!

181 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2019 8:31 pm

And Gio for his seasonal debut

182 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2019 8:32 pm

Well it’s a new way, starting with Gary getting picked off.

183 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 6, 2019 8:32 pm

Well, that inning went to hell.

184 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 6, 2019 8:33 pm

They should be fated to lose after that. Fucking Bollocks!

185 yankintexas   ~  Apr 6, 2019 8:33 pm

Not a solo homer opportunity so they punted

186 rbj   ~  Apr 6, 2019 8:48 pm

Well, bedtime for me. Gotta help dad fill in cracks in the garage floor tomorrow, will probably miss most of tomorrow’s game.

187 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 6, 2019 9:00 pm

Deserve to lose.

188 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 6, 2019 9:20 pm

Gee. I wonder what this 2 out risp outcome will be?

189 rob_smith_51   ~  Apr 6, 2019 9:20 pm

I will post my daily, Lead off Gleyber! On base 3 times today.

190 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2019 9:22 pm

How did he not score there?????? Yanks playing such sloppy baseball, and the manager not making it easier....

191 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 6, 2019 9:22 pm

3run bomb after typing that! Boom goes Frazier!

192 rob_smith_51   ~  Apr 6, 2019 9:23 pm

Clint!!!!

193 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 6, 2019 9:25 pm

Whoo-hoo, Clint. Gone goes Frazier! Gone goes Frazier!

194 yankintexas   ~  Apr 6, 2019 9:26 pm

Homers cover up for so many deficiency on this team. It's literally all they can do to score runs.

195 yankintexas   ~  Apr 6, 2019 9:42 pm

So many mental errors.

196 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 6, 2019 9:47 pm

Thank Mo.

197 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 6, 2019 10:05 pm

Cheers, y'all.

198 Greg G   ~  Apr 7, 2019 1:06 am

Yanks are pulling out of their Doldrums but the Sox are still sinking further into the abyss.

Great to see big red’s quick bat puttin the Yanks on the Cadillac board.

LeMahieu has proved to be a great signing. If we lose Andujar for the year, we could do a lot worse than having DJ and his slick glove and hitting for a high avg.

I wish we could get Sanchez on track. They are at .500 and now something to build on.

Judge was crushing today!

199 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 7, 2019 10:24 am

[198] Wow, you are such an optimist. I wish I could see it like you. So, I won't say what I see. Thanks for being positive.

Nothing better than Sunday afternoon baseball, after a morning softball double header. I was crushing the ball this AM!

202 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 7, 2019 12:25 pm

Gleyber time!

203 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 7, 2019 12:27 pm

liking the power. Gleyber just crushes the O's.

Out goes Frazier

Gary joins the party

208 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 7, 2019 12:48 pm

Sancho!

209 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 7, 2019 12:48 pm

STILL no runs scored off anything less than a dinger!

210 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 7, 2019 1:22 pm

First base runner

211 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 7, 2019 1:34 pm

a non hr rbi...

212 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 7, 2019 1:34 pm

First run in the series without a HR!

213 rbj   ~  Apr 7, 2019 1:34 pm

Hey, you can score on something other than a home Run?

214 rbj   ~  Apr 7, 2019 1:43 pm

Damn, a hit

215 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 7, 2019 1:43 pm

Still, a great start from the kid.

216 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 7, 2019 1:56 pm

5th of the yeAR for Sanchez! !!!

217 rbj   ~  Apr 7, 2019 1:57 pm

Ah, that’s more like it, Gary

218 rbj   ~  Apr 7, 2019 2:04 pm

This is fun

219 rbj   ~  Apr 7, 2019 2:24 pm

Rats, shutout gone

220 rbj   ~  Apr 7, 2019 2:35 pm

Finally

221 rbj   ~  Apr 7, 2019 2:40 pm

Gary having himself a game! And double digits.

222 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 7, 2019 2:41 pm

Gary goes boom!

223 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 7, 2019 2:41 pm

wish Sanchez could catch half as well as he hits. 1sr 3HR game.

224 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 7, 2019 2:43 pm

Methinks the Orioles will have a long, long season.

225 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 7, 2019 2:50 pm

Huh ... trivia question right there.

226 rbj   ~  Apr 7, 2019 2:56 pm

Clint's having himself a game too. I'm happy for him.

227 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 7, 2019 2:57 pm

out goes Frazier again!!!!

228 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 7, 2019 2:59 pm

so they wave the flag and bring in a position player to pitch

229 rbj   ~  Apr 7, 2019 2:59 pm

Ouch.

232 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 7, 2019 3:05 pm

kinda glad Sanchez didn't get 4... would come with an asterisk.

233 rbj   ~  Apr 7, 2019 3:12 pm

Great win

234 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 7, 2019 3:13 pm

a win is a win.

I ACCEPT THIS EXPLOSION OF HOME RUNS.

236 rbj   ~  Apr 7, 2019 3:54 pm

[235] A veritable plethora of home runs.

237 Chyll Will   ~  Apr 7, 2019 5:46 pm

Ahh, a great present for a Nutheryearonearth >;)

238 Greg G   ~  Apr 7, 2019 6:48 pm

Big Red might be the straw stirring the drink until we get Hicks and/or Stanton back.

Great Sanchize power swing!

They better take this momentum to Houston.

The Sox finally had a starter not give up 8 runs today.

239 rbj   ~  Apr 7, 2019 7:08 pm

Happy boithday, Chyll

240 seamus   ~  Apr 7, 2019 10:13 pm

Today’s game was a blast!

241 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 8, 2019 12:35 am

[238] Is it too soon to wonder if the Red Sox have dug themselves into a hole they can't get out of? It's 5-under .500 now.

242 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 8, 2019 12:36 am

[239] What he said! Hope you had a good one.

243 Greg G   ~  Apr 8, 2019 11:43 am

(241) They say you can't win it all in April, but you can lose so much that it hurts your chances in the end. The Sox hot start and the Yanks stumbling out of the gate might have been the reason the Sox were #1 for AL East and Yanks #2.

The Sox went on a ton of winning streaks last year, and I can see them taking off. The Yanks will have a real test with Houston now, but like the Yanks, they are sitting at .500 too.

When the Yanks start getting these guys back from the DL, it might be a while before they start to gel together. I'm glad that German and Frazier are getting playing time.

It was curious that the Yanks resigned Gardner so quickly last year? I guess the feeling was that it would be easier for him to come off the bench and not play everyday instead of Frazier, and perhaps they were worried about the concussion taking so long to heal?

The Yanks should keep German up in the bigs. Tanaka and CC (even when healthy) will not give the Yanks much more than 5 innings per start. It might be a good idea to give those guys an extra day of rest too.

Sucks that Tulo is injured again and not surprising. The guy was out of baseball for a whole year and he isn't a spring chicken.

Stanton and Hicks loss isn't being felt, since the Yanks have no loss of power right now, but they always hit the Os hard. Hopefully they can knock Houston around a bit before they get on track.

244 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 8, 2019 5:01 pm

#243 Speaking of getting guys back:

Luis Severino is heading to New York for tests and further examination on his shoulder, Aaron Boone announced this afternoon. Supposedly Severino does not feel any pain, but he is “not where he needs to be” and isn’t making as much progress with his throwing program as expected.

Severino was shut down with rotator cuff inflammation on March 5th and he’s spent the last few weeks throwing down in Tampa. He’s been long-tossing at a distance beyond 120 feet, but has not been able to get back on a mound. That was initially expected to happen a week ago and never did

245 rbj   ~  Apr 8, 2019 5:17 pm

[244] Not good. Maybe ASB?

246 Greg G   ~  Apr 8, 2019 5:26 pm

(244) Paging Keuchel.

Boras just added another 0 to Dallas' contract request to fleece the Yanks.

247 rbj   ~  Apr 8, 2019 6:24 pm

Sigh. ESPN announcers. One just said that with the roof open it feels like the outdoors.

248 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 8, 2019 6:34 pm

Somehow I think this is going to be one of those long quick games ...

249 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 8, 2019 6:53 pm

Shift that!

250 rbj   ~  Apr 8, 2019 6:57 pm

Ok, time to cash in.

252 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 8, 2019 6:59 pm

VOIT!

253 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 8, 2019 6:59 pm

Thanks for that, Gary.

254 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 8, 2019 7:00 pm

Well, we got one ... and ran up the pitch count, so that's technically not nothing.

255 rbj   ~  Apr 8, 2019 7:24 pm

Grr

256 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 8, 2019 7:30 pm

Beware the Terror Tot. 1-1

257 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 8, 2019 7:32 pm

Hanging split, you don't see many of those???

WTF are talking about ESPN guy ... that was the #OBLIGATORYTANAKAHANGINGSPLIT

Idiot.

258 rbj   ~  Apr 8, 2019 7:43 pm

Had to do dishes, missed the Judge’s ruling

259 rbj   ~  Apr 8, 2019 7:49 pm

Gotta feel sorry for Chris Davis, 0-47. But he’s owed $90 million. Guaranteed.

260 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 8, 2019 8:02 pm

Syndrome!
3-1!

261 rbj   ~  Apr 8, 2019 8:14 pm

Good job Tanaka

262 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 8, 2019 8:22 pm

I know he hit a rope, but Sanchez had to lean out over the plate to pull it.

Him in a nutshell.

263 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 8, 2019 8:27 pm

Ooof. From nutshell to nut shot.

264 rbj   ~  Apr 8, 2019 8:27 pm

OUCH, Gary.

265 rbj   ~  Apr 8, 2019 8:29 pm

John Sciambi & David Ross. Not two of ESPN’s finest

266 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 8, 2019 8:34 pm

#265 Polite understatement there ...

267 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 8, 2019 8:36 pm

Thanks a fucking lot, Britton.

268 rbj   ~  Apr 8, 2019 8:36 pm

Fuck

269 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 8, 2019 8:48 pm

A catcher, "obsessed with defense", what a surprise!

This booth is AWFUL.

270 rbj   ~  Apr 8, 2019 8:55 pm

And boring. They are boring.

271 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 8, 2019 8:59 pm

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Bravo, bravo.

272 rbj   ~  Apr 8, 2019 9:00 pm

Shit. So much for our bullpen.

273 rbj   ~  Apr 8, 2019 9:01 pm

Gotta go walk the dog and then hit the hay. Night, Cult.

274 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 8, 2019 9:13 pm

Night. See ya tomorrow night.
