"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Rays-B-Gone

Tampa Bay comes into town for three with the Yanks, then KC and then they hit the road or something.  Oy, who wouldda thought this team was  so deep?  Cashman obviously, but even he had to likely cross his fingers…

Two out of three and it’s first place

2 cult of basebaal   ~  May 17, 2019 6:14 pm

rb-yay!

3 rbj   ~  May 17, 2019 6:18 pm

Ah, opener night.

4 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 17, 2019 6:21 pm

2 out of 3 ain't bad.

5 cult of basebaal   ~  May 17, 2019 6:28 pm

Grrrrrrrr.

6 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 17, 2019 6:38 pm

Holy shite! Upper tank!

7 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 17, 2019 6:38 pm

Whoops. I sit corrected. Rats.

8 rbj   ~  May 17, 2019 6:50 pm

Walking the dog worked again.

9 rbj   ~  May 17, 2019 7:00 pm

Blech

10 rbj   ~  May 17, 2019 7:42 pm

Good outing for the big fella, now get some runs

11 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 17, 2019 7:42 pm

Hot damn, Big Fella! 6 strong!

12 rbj   ~  May 17, 2019 7:53 pm

Rats, doubt he comes out for the seventh.

13 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 17, 2019 8:05 pm

Don't fuck this up, Kahlne!

14 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 17, 2019 8:07 pm

Nice. Now score some runs.

15 rbj   ~  May 17, 2019 8:08 pm

Tommah!

16 Boatzilla   ~  May 17, 2019 8:25 pm

Tight game. What's with those horrible caps? Some armed forces thing?

17 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 17, 2019 8:27 pm

Yup. They should turn the balls into grenades and bases into tanks and behavior missiles. Ugh.

18 rbj   ~  May 17, 2019 8:30 pm

Military appreciation weekend.

19 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 17, 2019 8:30 pm

Fucking Bollocks! Fuck!

20 rbj   ~  May 17, 2019 8:30 pm

Fuck

21 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 17, 2019 8:33 pm

Garbage. With 2 outs no less.

22 BobbyB   ~  May 17, 2019 8:33 pm

Green has been an unmitigated disaster since game 1.

23 Boatzilla   ~  May 17, 2019 8:34 pm

Good to see Chad Green back in form.

24 BobbyB   ~  May 17, 2019 8:35 pm

15+ ERA? My grandmother never carried a 15 ERA!

25 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 17, 2019 8:36 pm

Shouldn't complain but this must be 4th game where a great start is fucked by bullpen and offense goes cold. Grrr....Ya just can't predict....

26 rbj   ~  May 17, 2019 8:39 pm

Rain! Call the game and erase the top of the eighth.

27 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 17, 2019 9:34 pm

Atta boy, Gary!

28 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 17, 2019 9:46 pm

Get 'r done!

29 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 17, 2019 9:52 pm

What a win!

30 mhoward120   ~  May 17, 2019 9:57 pm

(24). Best comment ever.

31 Boatzilla   ~  May 17, 2019 10:24 pm

Wow. I can't believe they won. I guess I'm a fair weather fan. Gave up on this one.

32 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 18, 2019 6:45 am

[18} Wow, good to see baseball FINALLY honoring the military, what took so long!

CC is such a badasa, love that he was talking shite to the Rays again.

33 RIYank   ~  May 18, 2019 7:24 am

[32] lol Fortunately, the Yankees bullied other teams into ad eternuml patriotic seventh inning interludes.

34 rbj   ~  May 18, 2019 11:03 am

Went to bed once the rain delay came. Yankees were down 3-1, figured it was a loss.

What? 4-3 walk off win?

35 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 18, 2019 12:19 pm

Given their miserable start, their injuries, their AAA subs, who'd a thunk that the Bombers would gave the best record in the MLB in mid May? Not me.

36 rbj   ~  May 18, 2019 12:23 pm

[35] Cashman for GM of the year? I’d say it’s their analytics department, but someone had to put it together and go with their recommendations.

37 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 18, 2019 1:09 pm

Time to shine, Hicks.

38 rbj   ~  May 18, 2019 1:16 pm

I'll take that.

39 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 18, 2019 1:19 pm

should have had more

40 rbj   ~  May 18, 2019 1:24 pm

Greg Bird has been Wally Pipped.

41 rbj   ~  May 18, 2019 1:33 pm

Not enough to overturn.

42 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 18, 2019 1:59 pm

Fortunate. Hope Tanaka isn't hurt.

43 rbj   ~  May 18, 2019 2:01 pm

Uh oh, my "take the dog for a walk" strategy backfired. But the dog really did need to go out.

44 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 18, 2019 2:07 pm

Sonofabitch!

45 rbj   ~  May 18, 2019 2:10 pm

Thanks, Tommy. Yeesh

46 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 18, 2019 2:15 pm

Death, taxes, and a great Tanaka start wasted.

47 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 18, 2019 2:19 pm

So Tanaka's obligatory HR is given up by K.

48 rbj   ~  May 18, 2019 2:58 pm

Time for a walk off

49 rbj   ~  May 18, 2019 3:10 pm

52 rbj   ~  May 18, 2019 3:48 pm

Back in second

53 rbj   ~  May 18, 2019 5:31 pm

At least Tanaka's x-ray came back negative.

54 rbj   ~  May 19, 2019 12:12 pm

How about some runs.

55 rbj   ~  May 19, 2019 12:13 pm

Ha!

56 rbj   ~  May 19, 2019 12:33 pm

Well there’s one

57 rbj   ~  May 19, 2019 12:41 pm

Crap

58 Boatzilla   ~  May 19, 2019 12:41 pm

I think it's clear that the "opener" strategy only works if you start the game with a good reliever.

59 rbj   ~  May 19, 2019 12:41 pm

Yeeouch

60 Boatzilla   ~  May 19, 2019 12:43 pm

Jesus. Send Green back to the minors before he kills someone.

61 Boatzilla   ~  May 19, 2019 12:52 pm

GGBG!

62 Boatzilla   ~  May 19, 2019 1:12 pm

Well, this game went to shit in a hurry. Good luck guys. I gotta hit the hay.

63 cult of basebaal   ~  May 19, 2019 1:36 pm

Got better!

64 cult of basebaal   ~  May 19, 2019 1:42 pm

Damn, Kay breaking out the old stuff.

65 cult of basebaal   ~  May 19, 2019 1:49 pm

66 rbj   ~  May 19, 2019 1:51 pm

Just back from dinner, looks like I missed some baseball

67 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 19, 2019 1:52 pm

Some things are predictable. Fucking Bollocks!

68 rbj   ~  May 19, 2019 2:12 pm

Phew!

69 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 19, 2019 2:22 pm

Sweet bunt, dude.

70 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 19, 2019 2:29 pm

A free run!

71 rbj   ~  May 19, 2019 2:32 pm

Ah, taking the dog for a walk worked again.

72 rbj   ~  May 19, 2019 2:42 pm

Not enough to overturn the call.

73 rbj   ~  May 19, 2019 2:47 pm

Double digits! Thank you Thairo.

74 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 19, 2019 2:52 pm

Most acceptable. Shitty inning for Clint.

75 rbj   ~  May 19, 2019 3:06 pm

Bakers dozen

76 rbj   ~  May 19, 2019 3:35 pm

Gleyber with the glove

77 rbj   ~  May 19, 2019 3:40 pm

Back in first! Three inning save for Chance

78 Boatzilla   ~  May 19, 2019 8:43 pm

I think that going to bed while the game is still in doubt, is the new juju.

[71] Of course, taking the dog out is important, too. We need the dog for the rally and my sleep to seal the win.

Keep it up, guys. Weez in foist pwace.

79 rbj   ~  May 20, 2019 6:11 pm

Let’s moider dese boids

80 rbj   ~  May 20, 2019 6:32 pm

Gleyber. 7th against the Os this year.

J.A. Crapp

82 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 20, 2019 6:51 pm

Rainy Season (梅雨) looks like it's hitting early this year in the Big Mikan. Worse than usual morning train commutes, and now the Yanquis are losing to Los Orioles again?? Thought they broke that habit?

83 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 20, 2019 6:51 pm

[81] Hah!

84 rbj   ~  May 20, 2019 6:52 pm

Boston won, at least Tampa isn’t playing today.

85 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 20, 2019 7:03 pm

When did Hacksaw Jim Duggan start pitching?

86 rbj   ~  May 20, 2019 7:16 pm

Save the bullpen for a winnable game tomorrow.

87 rbj   ~  May 20, 2019 7:20 pm

Or not

88 yankintexas   ~  May 20, 2019 7:22 pm

Maybe the doctor could find some strain that benches Happ for 6 months. That would be ideal.

89 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 20, 2019 7:28 pm

[88] Need Severino back ASAP. Wonder if they trade for someone as well?

90 rbj   ~  May 20, 2019 7:35 pm

Painful strike.

91 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 20, 2019 7:41 pm

A little bit off tonight, Flaherty? Oi!

92 rbj   ~  May 20, 2019 7:47 pm

Os announcers, Cy Cashner has problems third time through the order.

93 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 20, 2019 7:56 pm

How are they going to fuck this up?

94 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 20, 2019 8:04 pm

2 is better than none.

95 rbj   ~  May 20, 2019 8:05 pm

Well two runs is ok. Don’t need six all at once. Just get into the soft underbelly of the boids bullpen.

96 cult of basebaal   ~  May 20, 2019 8:11 pm

dios mios, Voit

97 rbj   ~  May 20, 2019 8:24 pm

Soft, soft underbelly

98 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 20, 2019 8:28 pm

Very Very ready for a Hicksy Homer here to tie it

99 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 20, 2019 8:28 pm

Damn fine play.

Fancy glove, fancy feet.

106 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 20, 2019 9:16 pm

Missed the comeback! The Kraken Returns!

111 rbj   ~  May 20, 2019 9:34 pm

Ten pm. Had to take the dog out for the last time, 7-6 Orioles.
Yet again walking the dog worked.

112 rbj   ~  May 20, 2019 9:36 pm

Oh FFS.

Ballgame! Hot damn, double digits and a comeback.

116 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 20, 2019 9:42 pm

Cheers y'all. Fun win.

117 Greg G   ~  May 21, 2019 1:50 pm

My son doesn't have much patience for baseball. He does like to come in and find out the score and if the Yankees are playing. (Pretty much the only sport I watch now) When he saw the O's were up by 5, he said "It's pretty much over now, right?" I didn't think so, and since I had recorded the game on my DVR, it didn't take long to enjoy a great comeback. Sure it is only the O's and not the Astros with Verlander on the mound, but this team is fun to watch. Glad to see Sanchez and Gleyber continue to make the O's their personal playthings.

Let's get em again tonight!

118 rbj   ~  May 21, 2019 6:12 pm

Kraken unleashed!

119 rbj   ~  May 21, 2019 6:15 pm

He's Ze German to me ...

126 rbj   ~  May 21, 2019 6:52 pm

Wow, Gary and Gleyber are the first pair of Yankees to each have 8 home runs in a season against the Orioles franchise since a couple of guys named Ruth and Gehrig, when it was the Browns.

127 cult of basebaal   ~  May 21, 2019 6:52 pm

BTW, if you are missing RAB, there's a pretty good site for yucks and snarky commentary,"It is high, It is far, It is...caught."

IMHO, Pinstripe Alley is now the best for serious news and recaps, but "It is high, It is far, It is...caught" is lots of fun.

I think the URL is "johnsterling.blogspot" something, but you can find it from the name.

158 rbj   ~  May 22, 2019 8:21 am

And the Rays and Sawx both lost, making the lead a little bit comfortable.

Thank you DJLM.

That's 10 taters for Gleyber so far against the O's? Wonder what the single season record is against one team..incredible.

Lou Gehrig hit 14 HRs against the Cleveland Indians in 1936. That is something to shoot for.

7 innings from Tanaka and no #obligatoryhomer

194 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 23, 2019 2:02 pm

how many guys have to walk before you yank him? and now a hit. Finally got rid of him.

Ah, six innings from Tanaka.

Welp, rained out already. Day-night DH tomorrow, being a DH they get to bring up another arm for the night cap, I believe.

315 Greg G   ~  May 28, 2019 8:19 pm

I love Frazier but he is not a great outfielder. Not sure if he is even good. Maybe it is the after effects from the concussion from last year and he’s tentative?

He gets burned so much, just misses catches and makes some bad judgements a lot.

Great bat but not great D. Gardner hasn’t been great this year either although he has made a couple of great plays. He might just need more rest.

316 yankintexas   ~  May 28, 2019 8:21 pm

[314] To be expected when we only use AAAA relievers when losing.

317 Boatzilla   ~  May 28, 2019 8:23 pm

We're back in the game, but where are out best relievers? I'm asking you Mr. Boone.

He seems to think that any old pitcher can pitch in most any situation.

318 yankintexas   ~  May 28, 2019 8:23 pm

Frazier is definitely a below average fielder. If he wasn’t hitting well I would suspect he has an eye sight problem with the way he constantly miss-judges plays in the field.

319 Boatzilla   ~  May 28, 2019 8:26 pm

Cessa? Cessa with the bases loaded. WTF! (I submit: Lance Lynn)

320 Boatzilla   ~  May 28, 2019 8:28 pm

[318] Let me remind you of another below average fielder. A man by the name of Reginald Martinez Jackson. ;>)

321 rbj   ~  May 28, 2019 8:47 pm

What a crappy play. Nothing Gio could do about it.

322 cult of basebaal   ~  May 28, 2019 8:52 pm

Don't know that it would have changed anything, but Urshela screwed up on that infield pop-up from Gardner. (unless the C was coming to cover 1st out of camera view)

323 rbj   ~  May 28, 2019 8:53 pm

Night

324 Boatzilla   ~  May 28, 2019 9:02 pm

I fear this game is one long, cock tease. Gotta get to work anyway.

325 cult of basebaal   ~  May 28, 2019 9:56 pm

[322] To explain further, since someone took umbrage over at BBTF to the same comment:


Perhaps I should have phrased it differently. Urshela didn't really "screw up" on that play, but he played it sub-optimally as a base runner. Unless the C was coming from home to cover first (which ought to be the coach's responsibility to monitor), he had at least as far as the first baseman (who was off the bag to start the play AND in front of Gio) to wait to see the outcome of the play (and it became apparent VERY early in the play that there was trouble). As SS, 2nd AND P converged on the ball as it was dropping, the 1st baseman released towards the center of the diamond. At this point, Gio is *not* in danger (again, barring movement from the C , he can just stand there until the play is resolved; if it's caught, he simply retreats to first with ease, but if it drops, he's in as forward a position as he could be to try and force an issue and possibly advance. Instead, when the 1st baseman releases, Gio has already long since started retreating to the bag, so when the ball drops, he has to stop his momentum and then head towards 2nd.

As I stated in the first post, it probably doesn't matter in the end, but maybe, just maybe, if Urshela plays it right, he's on top of 2nd baseman (and in the lane) almost as the ball is dropping, maybe there's interference, maybe that forces something hurried from the defense ... it couldn't have been any worse than the outcome he got.

326 cult of basebaal   ~  May 29, 2019 12:07 pm

Wish the Yankees had won last night, this one seem like a tough ask.
