Thanks for getting us back on-line. Need a split in T today; seems like we never play well there. OTOH, the BJ's have alot of impresive young talent.

Afternoon.

Oh, come on blue, way low.

Nice snag, Gio.

Yay, a run

I was afraid the Intertubes ate the Banter. Go Yankees!

need some runs now, since we have yet to see the O HR.

Are you Fucking kidding me?!?! Grrrrrrr......

Not the way to get more runs

crap. the rune of the mill 3,2,3 dp

With RAB no longer with us, thank heavens for the Banter.

And views ....

#5 yes

#7 even more yes ...

Yeah, that's three, ya goober!

Hit and run fail.

insurance please.

Fuck and yeah.

Nice outing from Tanaka. And yes insurance.

Tanaka out for 9th? Boonie must be worried about the O's tomorrow

Hmm, Tanaka for the ninth?

Boone over thinks again

now we have Vladimir Jr. not promising

phew

9 pitch ab not good

This has heart break all over it.

11 not better

13 worse

Helluva battle, phew. One more please.

Clearly, it was all a setup for the DP. And one of the best at-bats of the season.

de fence

The bottom of the 9th seemed as long as the rest of the game.

Thank you!

Wooo. that was tense. BJs have a real future.

Phew. Cheers, y'all.

Let's take 2 from the sorry O's

Just got back from shopping with my parents and then walking the dog. Put John Thorn on suicide watch.

#obligatoryhomer

Now 55 vs. the birds.

can we play these guys more often?

was really hoping to get 6 from Paxton

56

Maybin the mavin

is "preordained" the same as "obligatory"?

though Sir Didi had another. sac fly is certainly acceptable

btw, have I mentioned how much I hate Palmer?

Not gonna be easy.

Pen is trying to make this a game.

crapolla

could have been worse. need a couple now to get more comfy

one

Ballgame!

Good start for Green.

yep, nice start

Gritner!

Gardi goes boom

3-0 after 1 is acceptable

The Orioles just aren’t any good.

Heinz 57

Did the Yankees just pick people at random to pitch in this game?

Gleyber is just playing with Baltimore the way a cat plays with a mouse.

58.

[57] The Orioles might want to try that.

Le Machine just missed 59.

Gleyber Day! He just broke a tie with 1998 Sammy Sosa who had 12 home runs vs. Milwaukee.

And Gleyber is doing it while tested.

One more Yankee homer and the Os are Ruthed.

Not good.

Um, can we get some outs here?

This team seemingly never does anything easy.

Outs!

There’s an out.

Just imagine if the Orioles ever got some pitching.

Three! Sweep!

Night all.

Weak sauce when the O's walked Gleyber while down 5 runs in the 8th. I was hoping Gardy took them deep to clear the bases.

These games against the Os are awful, and at least seeing if Gleyber would hit a 4th dinger on the day, would have made it interesting.

The Yanks got to keep getting fat on this inferior competition as home field would really help in the postseason, especially with the pitching the Yanks are throwing up there. We can use some home cooking and backing up the scoring truck. The Home record is pretty phenomenal.

First pitch!

I turned on MLBN this afternoon. Lauren Shehadi was worried about Gary Thorne’s mental health.

Orioles have been Ruthed.

Gleyber is slacking off. Only a walk.

Good job Maybin

Seems like anyone who puts on the pinstripes anymore remembers how to hit or forgets how to pitch.

Don Torre in the booth.

And there’s the #obligatoryhomer

Two run double is acceptable.

That’s the proper answer.

It’s been a few innings since a home run.

I meant for the Yankees.

I guess only one tonight. Disappointed.

Ballgame, nice win. 1 pm tomorrow. Rested pen thanks to Rosa.

I like Rosa. Great win. Keep it going.

Kid shows promise.

Looking forward to some daytime baseball. SWEEP

I want at least 1 Yankee home run. Marisize the Orioles.

A sweep with Hapless Helpless is highly unlikely. Let him pitch the whole game and perhaps he’ll damage his arm and won’t ever be able to ptch again.

Marisized! 61.

just tuned in. See no surprise. So Happ got through the 1st with only one run. so Sanchez and Torres tie Babe and Lou with 10+ fingers in one season against one team.

dingers, not fingers

Estrada is the next man up.

I would like to paraphrase a song: Happlessly hoping his harlequin hovers nearby, awaiting a word. The word is: bring in the pen.

could use a hit or 3

ok, that's 2. need #3

Good job Ford.

that's what I'm talking about. Ford!

the pen seems to be trying to give it back.

well that sucked.

this is turning into a wasted afternoon.

Get those runs back

Am I the only one who believes that this “super-elite” bullpen is quite overrated?
