"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

’Member When?

…The Yanks were the team that would come unglued? Of course, the Yanks have been an airtight ship for a longtime now. Sure, there was a little thing with Clint Frazier this year and Alex Rodriguez’s entire Yankee career was a sideshow but otherwise we are a long way from the unpleasantness—the colorfulness!—of the Bronx Zoo years. That is a distant memory now.

The Mets take care of all the drama soup to nuts these days. Jeez, what a mess.

Meanwhile, our boys had a fabulous week going 6-1 against the Rays and Astros, about as good as can be expected (save the unfortunate loss of fan fav, Cameron Maybin to the IL).

Three easy-to-overlook games against the Blue Jays before the Yanks fly over to London to play a pair against the Sox this weekend in a “Let’s Play Baseball Where They Don’t Care About It” series.

Long as they keep winning series, man.

Never mind the gimmicks:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

not the best start

2 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2019 6:44 pm

Dinner then walked the dog. Not supposed to go this way.

3 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2019 6:58 pm

Sheriff stops another thief.

4 RIYank   ~  Jun 24, 2019 7:14 pm

Come on, I want my home runs!

5 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 24, 2019 7:45 pm

Hiksi! 27 on a row

6 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2019 7:46 pm

[4] Wish fulfilled!

27 in a row, come on 28.

7 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2019 7:58 pm

One more out, big guy.

8 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2019 8:02 pm

There ya go. Now some insurance.

DJ is just a pure hitter

12 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2019 8:18 pm

That’ll work.

Mexico?

13 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 24, 2019 8:19 pm

[9] Is that you, Ron?

14 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2019 8:20 pm

More is always acceptable

15 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 24, 2019 8:22 pm

I approve of this inning.

16 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 24, 2019 8:22 pm

Run GGBG, run!

17 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 24, 2019 8:23 pm

OONTZ!

19 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 24, 2019 8:28 pm

Kabooooooooooom!

20 RIYank   ~  Jun 24, 2019 8:29 pm

Damn.
Okay I got my homers.

21 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 24, 2019 8:29 pm

Still not live, but does Luke drive a "bitchin' Camaro?"

Uh.

ScoreBus people, ScoreBus.

26 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 24, 2019 8:41 pm

Man, Stanton didn't even *get* that, but ... he crushed it.

27 BobbyB   ~  Jun 24, 2019 8:46 pm

DJ. 3-3 tonight. What a sleeper pickup. I think you can make an argument that he’s been the MVP for the Yankees first half of the season.

28 BobbyB   ~  Jun 24, 2019 8:47 pm

Ok., how about a 4-4 night

29 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2019 8:57 pm

[27] I didn’t even know what a LeMahieu was at the signing.

30 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 24, 2019 9:00 pm

Maybe they can leave Holder across the pond.

31 RIYank   ~  Jun 24, 2019 9:01 pm

He really isn't good.

32 RIYank   ~  Jun 24, 2019 9:01 pm

Holder, I mean.

33 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 24, 2019 9:01 pm

Holder Really sucks

34 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 24, 2019 9:07 pm

did I mention that Holder sucks?

35 RIYank   ~  Jun 24, 2019 9:08 pm

Hmmmmmmm.

36 RIYank   ~  Jun 24, 2019 9:08 pm

That is really impressive.
To enter with an eight run lead... and set up a Save situation.

37 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 24, 2019 9:13 pm

Jaysus Fucking Christ! I figured the game was in the bag and left to do some work.

He just HAD to put HOLDER in. Cash needs to take that dangerous toy away from Boone. He's gonna kill someone.

38 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 24, 2019 9:18 pm

JFC!

39 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2019 9:20 pm

There is no place for Holder.

40 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 24, 2019 9:22 pm

Clusterfuck over with. For now.

41 BobbyB   ~  Jun 24, 2019 9:24 pm

I hope Boone learned his lesson. Holder is not Major League material.

42 RIYank   ~  Jun 24, 2019 9:25 pm

Yeah, I think this was a blessing, actually.
We still have a 3 run lead, and I feel like Holder got a ticket to the Railriders.

43 yankintexas   ~  Jun 24, 2019 9:29 pm

I'd prefer he stood in front of an Amtrak train. I don't wish his Thanos-like ability to zap leads on anybody.

44 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2019 9:38 pm

[43] Not any time soon. Parents are taking the train from VA to Rochester to see their latest great grand kids.

Good thing is dad acknowledged he can’t do long distance driving anymore.

45 rbj   ~  Jun 24, 2019 9:41 pm

10-2 game and Chapman has to come in.

Grumble, grumble, grumble.

51 Springdeeds   ~  Jun 25, 2019 6:08 pm

anyone else bummed when rusillo is doing the play by play?

52 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2019 6:13 pm

[51] Yup.

The Mets should bring back Bobby Valentine, just to make them even Metsier.

53 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2019 6:18 pm

28 straight!

54 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2019 6:19 pm

Belly to belly

55 BobbyB   ~  Jun 25, 2019 6:35 pm

Like I said last night, Lamarieu has been the MVP of the first half. Play him anywhere, he’s a three time gold glove winner. Bat him anywhere, he hits for average and power.

56 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2019 6:38 pm

Gleyber joins the party. If only Hicks hadn’t been picked off.

57 mhoward120   ~  Jun 25, 2019 6:39 pm

I wonder whether Torres would be the leading power-hitter on most teams.

58 Springdeeds   ~  Jun 25, 2019 6:41 pm

torres in the 8th place in the lineup is incredible! what a player

59 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2019 6:58 pm

Run roh, Stanton out of the game.

60 RIYank   ~  Jun 25, 2019 7:01 pm

Hm, this Starter By Committee thing is working pretty well.

61 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2019 7:18 pm

I was at a Mud Hens game once we’re they had to use an opener. “Starter” went five full, giving up just a walk. Next guy went two, giving up just a walk. Third guy also went two, giving up nothing.

Only no hitter I was in person.

Damn cold night.

62 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jun 25, 2019 7:23 pm

[59] Oh no, any news on that? Just tuning in.

Close to halfway through and Yanks on pace for 104 wins, impressive with all those injuries. Kudos to the players and Cash-money.

63 RIYank   ~  Jun 25, 2019 7:23 pm

Huh, well, it's not chilly in the Bronx tonight.

64 BobbyB   ~  Jun 25, 2019 7:27 pm

Twitter says he got spiked in the hand.

65 RIYank   ~  Jun 25, 2019 7:29 pm

Hm, Cortes might be a once-through-the-order kinda pitcher.

66 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2019 7:34 pm

Crap.

So another DL for Stanton and recall of Morales is my bet.

67 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jun 25, 2019 7:39 pm

[66] No Frazier? Know his D is terrible but the bat is MLB ready, don't see why they would jerk him around..

68 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2019 7:42 pm

[67] Too sensible.

69 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2019 7:42 pm

Insurance time. How about nonsolo homers.

70 RIYank   ~  Jun 25, 2019 7:53 pm

Darn.

71 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 25, 2019 7:53 pm

Well, that inning was bullshit.

72 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2019 7:55 pm

73 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 25, 2019 7:55 pm

[63] It's gotten above 70 once here this month, if I had to guess.

74 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:04 pm

[73] Getting hot and concrete jungle humid here..which means it's time for a Jingu Stadium visit, home of the Yakult Swallows. Best outdoor stadium in Tokyo.

75 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:05 pm

[66] Fire. Kendrys. Morales. Into. The. Sun.

It ain't personal, but ...

76 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:06 pm

[74] That's why you and Nostra should be hanging out with me in Laguna Beach!

77 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:07 pm

OONTZ!!!

79 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:11 pm

[77] I *could* live with it, but we've got guys in AAA we could be giving at bats to ...

80 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:13 pm

[76] Is Laguna Beach near Malibu? Columbo episode set there I'd like to see the shooting locations for!

81 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:18 pm

[80] This made me laugh so hard, for reasons I can explain, but won't ever make sense. But thank you.

It's probably 75 miles, if I had to guess (that's not the funny part).

82 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:29 pm

[81] Intrigued!
When I went to LA two years ago honestly the coolest part was being on Hermosa Beach at the exact spot pictured on Lee Morgan's 'Live At The Lighthouse' album, and then Redondo Beach where Columbo meets Dr. Hammer in a later episode.Equal highlights to Dodger Stadium.

83 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:33 pm

I really want insurance.

Thank you EE.

84 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:44 pm

[80] But ... Malibu, LA or OC, no matter where you fly into, you've got a couch with one of the best views you can imagine waiting for you.

What is funny? ... I just typed "photos arch beach heights" and the first link was to this:

Which is literally the house next door.

85 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:49 pm

Two gone.

86 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:52 pm

Insurance needed, come on, one more out.

Galvis vs. Chapman again. Oi!

Chappy always makes things fun.......

89 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:56 pm

Come on Chapman...

90 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:58 pm

Well... that was fun!
(Excuse me while a throw-up)

91 rbj   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:58 pm

Another win. Three days off for Chapman coming up.
Night all.

92 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:59 pm

[89] To be fair, that's from the 3rd floor. Your couch would only be on the 2nd.

Just sayin' ...

93 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 25, 2019 8:59 pm

'New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton left Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays with a right knee contusion and will have an MRI, the team announced.'

94 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 25, 2019 9:01 pm

[92] But the margaritas do come with premium tequila ...

95 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jun 25, 2019 9:02 pm

[92] From what I remember of the Mexican food in LA, just move that couch outside a taqueria..

[93] No!

96 rbj   ~  Jun 26, 2019 12:13 pm

I'm rooting for no new injuries today.

98 mhoward120   ~  Jun 26, 2019 12:17 pm

115 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 26, 2019 3:07 pm

The results of the MRI on New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton right knee were "good," manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday.

"He came in today and there's no swelling in there, but he's sore and stiff. He's just kind of going through treatment right now.

He is listed as an available player on the bench.

116 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 26, 2019 3:10 pm

Oh fer cryin’ outloud, DL for Stanton.

134 yankintexas   ~  Jun 26, 2019 6:24 pm

Stanton = Mr Glass.

135 yankintexas   ~  Jun 26, 2019 11:37 pm

So Stanton goes on the IL and the team calls up Tauchman to replace him and also calls up Estrada and Adams for the London trip. Does this mean Frazier's days in the Bronx over?

136 rbj   ~  Jun 27, 2019 3:22 am

[135] As fragile as this lineup is,no. Just regular playing time.

Though there is showcasing for a front line starting pitcher . . .

137 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 27, 2019 2:42 pm

[115] Is wrong. The latest:
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman says slugger Giancarlo Stanton is more likely to return in August than July after straining his right knee.

138 rbj   ~  Jun 27, 2019 3:18 pm

Just think of it as an old waiver wire trade. Where the Yankees don't have to give up anything good.

139 rbj   ~  Jun 27, 2019 7:23 pm

Kraken and Le Machine are starting All Stars, well done.

140 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 28, 2019 12:08 am

[136] Seems like a punishment, (if they really liked him they might want to gift him the trip to London) or maybe they don't trust his glove in some weird tiny outfield in London. I would assume (and hope!) Tauchman
will only be in the line-up in the late innings to spell Gardy or Hicks, because he can't hit.

Or I'm making up stuff out of whole cloth and it's playing time, as you said.

141 rbj   ~  Jun 29, 2019 12:11 pm

Let the game commence.

142 rbj   ~  Jun 29, 2019 12:17 pm

Beat down in London Town. Woo-hoo!

152 mhoward120   ~  Jun 29, 2019 12:30 pm

It is still possible that Aaron Judge might be the only American player to be retired during a London baseball game. Not likely but still...

153 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 29, 2019 12:31 pm

I wish I didn't have to listen Joe Buck though. Grrr.

154 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 29, 2019 12:33 pm

[152] He could make all 3 outs.

155 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 29, 2019 12:34 pm

keep the line moving

156 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 29, 2019 12:37 pm

Wow. Oscar Gamble just came up in a graphic.

Missing that extra point is gonna come back to haunt the Bombers.

What a disaster. I will hang for one more half inning, see if they bounce back. It's 3 AM here.

168 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 29, 2019 1:13 pm

What a great showcase for MLB. Shitshow first inning for both starters and now a PED user is pitching.

169 yankintexas   ~  Jun 29, 2019 1:16 pm

So is the mound broken or something or they are using metal bats?

170 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 29, 2019 1:29 pm

172 rbj   ~  Jun 29, 2019 1:42 pm

Gritner. Gonna need double digits today.

173 rob_smith_51   ~  Jun 29, 2019 1:42 pm

Hate Gardner batting lead-off. Love Gardner batting ninth.

174 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 29, 2019 1:45 pm

btw, what's with advertising tags on sleeves and batting helmets?

175 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 29, 2019 1:48 pm

gonna take double digits to win this one.

176 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 29, 2019 1:49 pm

Greetings all.
Historically wild 1st inning.
Gardy allows me to breath again.

177 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 29, 2019 2:04 pm

Wow.... strike 3 was a gift.

178 rbj   ~  Jun 29, 2019 2:26 pm

Le Machine, an even dozen.

179 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 29, 2019 2:33 pm

double digits, we want 20

180 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 29, 2019 2:33 pm

Is this year Gardner's swan song? It's kind of sad...

181 rbj   ~  Jun 29, 2019 2:47 pm

Oh noes, not Luke

182 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 29, 2019 2:47 pm

so Luke goes down. oy.

183 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 29, 2019 2:50 pm

Gardy contract ends this year

on a happy note, 15

184 rbj   ~  Jun 29, 2019 3:04 pm

Brett is ticked off.

185 rbj   ~  Jun 29, 2019 3:09 pm

We just might hit 20

186 RIYank   ~  Jun 29, 2019 3:11 pm

It's hard to take this particular game seriously.

187 RIYank   ~  Jun 29, 2019 3:12 pm

My phone is set to send me notifications for every scoring play in a Yankee game.
I'm worried that it's going to run my battery dead.

188 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 29, 2019 3:29 pm

more like a softball game score

189 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 29, 2019 3:50 pm

may really need 20

190 rbj   ~  Jun 29, 2019 3:50 pm

Next time Chavis comes up, just walk him.

191 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:01 pm

entirely too much tension for a team that scored 17

192 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:05 pm

I can't believe what I am seeing.

193 rbj   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:09 pm

I'm going to go find a hammer. Hitting myself in the head would be less painful.

194 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:14 pm

I had the over/under at 13. I took the under.

195 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:15 pm

sound like Voit is headed to the IL.

196 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:29 pm

Yeah... "Under the belly button" is a bad place for a strain. EE to 1st and Clint comes up to DH?

197 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:36 pm

Classy Sox fans doing the 'Yankees suck' chant in London.

198 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:36 pm

Tying run at the plate. un effing believable

199 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:39 pm

Big phew. EE to 1st makes sends, but DJ can play there, Urshie at 3rd, and EE as dh sounds better.

200 mhoward120   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:39 pm

This reminds me of the 2004 in microcosm. Yankees with a seemingly insurmountable lead and here come the damn Sox. Until that third out, it really looked like this game might be heading toward the same unthinkable outcome. I’m still afraid of the ninth.

201 rbj   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:41 pm

With 17 runs the Yankees still need insurance.

202 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:42 pm

We have used 7 Pitchers... the Sox have used 8. Insane.

203 BobbyB   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:43 pm

MLB sent over juiced balls. I have no doubt about it.

204 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:43 pm

[199] 'Big phew. EE to 1st makes sends, but DJ can play there, Urshie at 3rd, and EE as dh sounds better.'

Who replaces Luke (now on the IL)? Client?

205 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:43 pm

Client = CLINT

206 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:50 pm

Think Chappie ever came in with 17 runs on the board?

207 rbj   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:53 pm

Hot damn!

208 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:53 pm

Did I saves the day. Hope I never see the like again. But it is a W

209 mhoward120   ~  Jun 29, 2019 4:54 pm

When we have a chance to breathe again, we might be able to say that this was kinda fun.

210 rbj   ~  Jun 29, 2019 5:05 pm

Sawx ten behind, 11 in tha AFILC

211 yankintexas   ~  Jun 29, 2019 5:14 pm

This team might be undefeated if not for Holder, Cortes, Cessa and Happ. The frustrating part is three of those guys shouldn't even be employed by an MLB, much less the Yankees

212 rbj   ~  Jun 30, 2019 8:56 am

Our national anthem, being sung in the country we fought against referenced in the anthem.

And we hold no grudges against them.

213 rbj   ~  Jun 30, 2019 9:31 am

Should be easy enough to get those runs back.

214 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 30, 2019 9:40 am

now that's a crappy start/opener

215 BobbyB   ~  Jun 30, 2019 9:45 am

I said it yesterday. MLB sent over juiced balls. Best way to grow interest.

216 rbj   ~  Jun 30, 2019 10:15 am

Order the netting Manfred.

217 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 30, 2019 10:22 am

[216] Yeah really. Tell some one who got hurt or killed, "well, there are structural issues." Bullshit.

218 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 30, 2019 10:24 am

well, the relatives of...you know what I meant.

219 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 30, 2019 10:30 am

Loooooooeeeeee!

220 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 30, 2019 10:34 am

Alex needs to be told that Brits don't like to be called "Brits."

221 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 30, 2019 10:39 am

This game is weird, by that I mean it's like a normal game.

222 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 30, 2019 10:49 am

Suc-Cessa-ful!

223 rbj   ~  Jun 30, 2019 10:50 am

Huh, so there are innings in which runs are not scored.

224 rbj   ~  Jun 30, 2019 11:02 am

I hate all this foul territory

225 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 30, 2019 11:06 am

[222] Better than Suc-Cess-fail!

But I imagine we'll see that before too long ...

226 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 30, 2019 11:11 am

Sorry I wasn't around for yesterday's madness, the WWC was my first two watching choices.

I recorded the Yankees and Sox but only an hour to the scheduled broadcast ... oops.

Didi!

227 rbj   ~  Jun 30, 2019 11:11 am

Another nice DP started by Sir Didi.

228 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 30, 2019 11:12 am

added that is, I think I got 6 innings

229 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 30, 2019 11:30 am

[225] 4 shut out innings. He's been their best pitcher. Let's hope Boone doesn't try to squeeze out another inning, though.

230 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 30, 2019 11:32 am

Because of course this happened:

Brian Cashman acknowledges in hindsight, Luis Severino should have undergone an MRI before he started throwing again 3 wks ago. Every other test at that time checked out;he was fully healthy/able to throw, Cashman reiterated. He added: Severino doesn’t like getting in MRI machine

231 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 30, 2019 11:32 am

Sigh

232 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 30, 2019 11:37 am

Otavino the Wizard!

233 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 30, 2019 11:39 am

[230] Wow. That's amazing. I feel for him though. I don't either. If I have have to have another MRI, I'll need a sedative. Claustrophobia.

234 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 30, 2019 11:51 am

Hicksie!

235 RIYank   ~  Jun 30, 2019 11:54 am

I 2ould just like to point out that we are in the rare situation of having a Win Probability greater than 50%, while actually trailing in the actual score!

236 RIYank   ~  Jun 30, 2019 11:54 am

Got that in just in time.

237 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 30, 2019 11:56 am

Oh Gary!

238 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 30, 2019 11:56 am

[235] You called it.

239 rbj   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:10 pm

Still need a homer

240 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:10 pm

I was just about to mention how much Gio's star has fallen.

241 RIYank   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:13 pm

[239] What??? A rally-kller???
NO SIR.
We want Le Machine with RISP.

242 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:13 pm

Greetings.
My... these guys have been FUN to watch.
Is this enough for our BP to hold?

243 RIYank   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:13 pm

Whoa, Boatzilla, I just realized, you're burning the midnight oil, huh?

244 RIYank   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:15 pm

And here he is...

245 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:16 pm

Good Lord! The man is not human!

246 RIYank   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:16 pm

Oh man.
He's so good it's kind of unrealistic. Like, who would believe someone could hit with RISP like this guy?

247 RIYank   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:19 pm

Yay, double-digits!

248 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:21 pm

[243] Yeah, it's only Monday tomorrow. Yikes, it's Monday already.

Oh, wait. [239] I see your point. The streak.

251 Boatzilla   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:24 pm

OK. I guess it's safe to hit the hay now. Or is it....?
Bring it home guys.

252 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:26 pm

[250] Yes... Boonie needs to tell EVERYONE to just swing as hard as they can. 7 Run lead, right?

253 RIYank   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:30 pm

Didi, gregorgious.

254 RIYank   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:35 pm

YES!!!!!!!
The streak lives!

255 rbj   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:35 pm

Phew. streak now at 31!

Didi is from the Netherlands

256 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:35 pm

257 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:36 pm

[252] Worked!

258 RIYank   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:40 pm

[255] Apparently he did interviews in English, Spanish, and Dutch. I mean, there in London.

259 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 30, 2019 12:50 pm

Can I just say that I want to make OONTZ a thing? I love watching the DJ hit.

260 rbj   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:00 pm

Chapman should not have to come into this game.

261 mhoward120   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:03 pm

Is this like Little League where everyone, no matter how lame (that’s you, Chance Adams) gets into the ballgame?

262 RIYank   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:04 pm

I really hope some analytics person figures out wtf happened this weekend.

263 mhoward120   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:04 pm

This is quickly becoming a royal fuck-up.

264 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:04 pm

definitely not my favorite kind of comback. we need not have a repeat of yesterday

265 RIYank   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:04 pm

I know, there's apparently a theory that the humid air prevents the breaking balls from breaking, but that sounds like a theory invented by someone who has no idea what they're talking about.

266 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:06 pm

Holy Shit!
No 8 Run lead is safe!

267 mhoward120   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:06 pm

If King George was still running the Yankees, I don’t think they take Adams back to the states with the team.

268 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:07 pm

this officially WTF

269 rbj   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:08 pm

270 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:08 pm

If his Sinker isn't sinking,
why is Chappy NOT in this game????

271 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:09 pm

[267] Great!!

272 mhoward120   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:10 pm

So Britton’s one pitch isn’t working, which he knew in advance, but he’s still in an important part of the game. WTF?

273 rbj   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:10 pm

WTF Blue, that was a strike!

274 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:10 pm

blue missed it

275 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:11 pm

How accurate is their 3D K-Zone?

Whew.

282 RIYank   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:15 pm

So... Britton in Britain, not so good. Note that down.

283 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:16 pm

I don't know how Manager's don't have serious gastrointestinal problems.

284 mhoward120   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:19 pm

Has any reliever gotten consecutive saves in games where his team was leading by 11 and 8 runs? Not exactly a stat to be proud of.

285 mhoward120   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:21 pm

Fuck you too, Mookie.

286 RIYank   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:25 pm

[284] Oooh, you mean if Britton finishes it's a S! That's right!

287 RIYank   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:27 pm

Wait, no it wasn't. He came in with a bigger lead.
Anyway it's Chapman, and not a S situation.

288 mhoward120   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:27 pm

I meant Chappie.

289 mhoward120   ~  Jun 30, 2019 1:28 pm

My stomach’s been killing me. Don’t know if it’s a bad clam or bad relief pitching.
