"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Stormy Weather

This is what we know. If the Yanks are gonna beat the best team in the league they are gonna have to win three games and tame Greinke, Verlander, and Cole. Easy to overlook Greinke but he’s no scrub.

Holy cow is it ever lousy weather in the Bronx. Cold, windy—not baseball weather, man.

Biggest game of the season for our boys.

We’ll be there root-root-rootin’ them on.

Never mind the windchill:

Let’s Go Yank-eese!

If we lose tonight and trail 3-1, then I believe the Yanks are done -- so what I'm going to say next will become a moot point (though I recall in seasons past we used to refer to that as a mute point). I'm looking ahead to tomorrow and hoping it's damn cold and rainy with plenty of 30 minute delays to help ease Verlander out of the game before the 6th.

2 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 17, 2019 6:40 pm

1) DJ LeMahieu, 1B
2) Aaron Judge, RF
3) Aaron Hicks, CF (S)
4) Gleyber Torres, 2B
5) Edwin Encarnacion, DH
6) Brett Gardner, LF (L)
7) Gary Sánchez, C
8) Gio Urshela, 3B
9) Didi Gregorius, SS (L)

Well, GGBG is out of the 3 spot, but I'm not exactly sure moving Hicks in there is going to be an upgrade. Gleyber! at 4 is positive.

3 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:07 pm

[2] When he is hitting well, Hicks can hit #3. At this stage in his career, Gardner should always be at 5 spot or later. Let's go Yankees!

4 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:08 pm

Alex did you set this up? The Fox intro is a guy making a score truck!

5 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:13 pm

[3] Hicks has 1 at bat in anger since August 3rd. He might just be a wee bit rusty ...

6 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:14 pm

What did Brantley say to Sanchez?

7 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:21 pm

Let’s. Go. Yankees!

8 knuckles   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:24 pm

Make him throw lots and lots of pitches here.

9 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:29 pm

Uh ... fuck ... more bad luck.

10 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:31 pm

Well ... that's better luck!

11 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:33 pm

C'mon, Brett! FFS!!!!!

12 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:33 pm

Gardy due

13 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:34 pm

I know “due” is dumb, just let me riff

14 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:35 pm

Green light. Sorry Kraken

15 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:35 pm

Ill take that rbi walk

16 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:38 pm

Dammit.

17 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:38 pm

Yup. One of these days, Gary. One of these days. : (

18 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:39 pm

Wow ... no 3-0 gimme strike

0-1 Yanks!

19 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:41 pm

Another squandered inning.

Can Sanchez bat 10th?

20 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:41 pm

Gary, Gary, Gary. What are we gonna do with you?

First Blood, anyway.

21 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:42 pm

What appalling AB from Gary..wasted chance
[4] I thought the same thing!

22 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:46 pm

Stand up and throw, G.

23 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:49 pm

Nice, Tanaka

24 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:49 pm

Tanaka is ON.

25 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:50 pm

[21] Yeah, that was a cool intro.

26 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:52 pm

The guy’s walking the house and you first-pitch swing at a breaking ball?

27 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:52 pm

How about not popping up on the first pitch? That would be cool.

28 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:54 pm

Momback, momback, momback

29 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:55 pm

Meh.

I'd pitch around Judge here.

30 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:57 pm

Fucking that fucking check-swing call.

31 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:58 pm

[30] indeed.

32 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 7:59 pm

FAILFAILFAILFAILFAILFAILFAIL

33 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:03 pm

The obligatory homer best be solo. Or the RISP bed shitting will be extra terrible.

34 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:06 pm

Welp, time for Ottavino. Right?

35 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:07 pm

Fuckity fuck fuck. Not the #obligatoryhomer you want

36 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:07 pm

Fuck.

Fucking fuck fuck.

37 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:08 pm

Good work, team. MOTHERFUCKER!
When the hell is smoltz going to pass out from his hard on? Holy...

38 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:08 pm

4 pitch walk was the killer

39 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:08 pm

[34] CC!

40 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:09 pm

Plenty of time left..Greinke will likely be gone by the 6th

41 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:10 pm

Goddamn the midget.

42 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:11 pm

[40] As long as they don’t go into pressing/ flailing mode

43 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:13 pm

He won’t be gone by the sixth if they give him a string of five-pitch innings. They don’t need to wait him out; they need to rough him up.

44 knuckles   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:15 pm

Take him out. He’s done.

45 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:15 pm

Why the hell did Sanchez not just run him back to third?

46 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:16 pm

Extra practice on that play next spring, please?

You gotta make the play on Altuve headed back to third so the others can’t advance.

47 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:17 pm

Both these dudes are going to score and I will miss the end of the game because i am going to throw my computer through the tv. smoltz is making me miss joe morgan. Mo help me.

48 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:17 pm

That did seem like it could have been played better. Don't want him to be safe at 3rd though.

49 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:17 pm

[45] Sanchez: “My contract specifically states I don’t have to do any calisthenics I don’t think are necessary.”

50 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:18 pm

It would have wound up 2nd and 3rd anyway. IMHO.

51 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:19 pm

Anyone else palpably relieved Sanchez stopped Judge’s throw?

52 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:19 pm

Good. Judge has a cannon.

53 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:20 pm

Coulda been worse

54 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:20 pm

Phew, that could have been much worse.

55 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:21 pm

Okay, go time. The Houston rotation has been getting by in “bend don’t break” mode. Time for a loud snap.

56 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:22 pm

I would like a large order of runs please.

57 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:25 pm

[42] you were saying?

58 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:26 pm

Greinke's strike zone is getting bigger. Lucky him.

59 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:28 pm

[57] would have preferred to be wrong

60 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:30 pm

EE will “break out” here with meaningless, stranded two-out double

61 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:32 pm

I'm modifying a joke I saw the other day so here goes, "If I get invited to a Halloween party this month that I don't want to attend I'll be the Yankees offense and not show up." rimshot!

62 knuckles   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:32 pm

Must be nice to get the “neighborhood call” on balls and strikes.

63 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:33 pm

Well this is disappointing.

64 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:38 pm

Nice quick inning by Tanaka. Why am I not excited to see the Bombers bat?

65 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:42 pm

I can't remember the last time Sanchez homered.

66 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:42 pm

On a Tuesday night in July Gardner takes all those pitches.

67 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:43 pm

One pitch away, Gary. You and Brett are one pitch away.

68 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:44 pm

We got Greinke right where we want him.

69 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:44 pm

It seems like they've given up.

70 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:45 pm

Well, this fucking sucks balls.

71 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:51 pm

Well, Suzyn, what the Yankees need now is a bloop and a b—

72 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:52 pm

(Strangling noises)

73 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:52 pm

Feels like it’s 8-1 and we’re headed to the bottom of the 9th of an elimination game...

74 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:53 pm

Nice catch, Judge.

75 seamus   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:54 pm

Verdict rendered

76 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:54 pm

[73] Problem is that lately, “get into their bullpen” has been such an empty promise

77 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:58 pm

Crap. Good take, then a roll over...

78 seamus   ~  Oct 17, 2019 8:59 pm

It’s only 2 runs if we can just wake up

79 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:00 pm

Le Machine!

80 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:00 pm

DJ is such a good hitter.

Go yard, Your Honor

81 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:01 pm

Momback

82 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:01 pm

Swing at strikes. And crush them where they ain't.

83 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:01 pm

[78] wake up the dead. Halloween is coming...

84 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:02 pm

Should’ve CRUSHED that pitch!!! : /

85 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:04 pm

Swung at the wrong pitch

86 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:04 pm

Come on, Judgie!

87 seamus   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:06 pm

Ok well it’s the bullpen after all

88 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:07 pm

This whole series, aside from game one, has been the 'Stros bending but not breaking. So annoying.

89 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:10 pm

Crush this fucker

90 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:11 pm

Did Smoltz just bring the bullpen wind into the discussion?

91 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:11 pm

10 more balls and it may be tied.

92 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:12 pm

The takes this inning are a promising change

93 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:13 pm

What Day is it?

94 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:14 pm

What an eye. Come on, kid. LET’S FUCKING GO!!!

95 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:17 pm

Bullshit!

96 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:18 pm

Fucking hell

97 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:18 pm

There goes the season.

98 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:19 pm

This is preordained

99 knuckles   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:19 pm

Everyone is pressing.

How does EE miss that pitch? Check for holes in his bat

Show/Hide Comments 101-200
101 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:19 pm

That’s the catcher’s fault

102 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:19 pm

At least EE hit something

103 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:20 pm

Crossup call

107 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:22 pm

Good thing the Yankees finally got to the soft underbelly of the Astros pen.

108 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:23 pm

We had the right guy up with bases loaded and one out.

109 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:23 pm

C'mon, thelarmis! 12 more outs of complete and utter futility!

110 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:24 pm

Where is the Orioles pitching staff when you need them?

111 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:25 pm

Well, if you can't score at least 4 runs you don't deserve to win.

112 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:26 pm

Fucking bollocks. The floodgates are about to open...

113 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:27 pm

Here comes Boone's binder waking up.

114 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:28 pm

Over under on number of pitchers used this inning? I say 3-4.

115 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:30 pm

I hate this fucking racist. Get a dp right fucking now

116 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:33 pm

That’s just fucking great

117 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:33 pm

Anyone believe Bregman doesn’t score?

118 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:33 pm

Well the screen on FS2 is letterbox but the Spanish sounds better.

119 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:33 pm

Tanaka could have done that but binder

120 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:34 pm

I’ll be rooting for the Nationals.

121 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:34 pm

Ouch! That hurts

122 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:34 pm

game over. season over.

i would've kept masa in longer. it was just spin on the first hit to DJ

123 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:35 pm

That's it for me. Tomorrow's game is going to be insufferable.

124 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:35 pm

April to September was fun. This season is toast.

125 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:36 pm

I hope they lose tomorrow, and lose big. This team was never built to win in the playoffs, just sell tickets.

126 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:37 pm

That should have tied the game at six for fuck's sake! Grrrrrrr!!!!

127 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:37 pm

120 days til pitchers and catchers, give or take.

128 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:37 pm

Naturally, Boone leaves him in despite having absolutely nothing.

129 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:38 pm

[1] I guess the question is "mute" after all. I'm so disgusted.

130 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:39 pm

Boone/Rothsfuck/Cashman probably will come to the conclusion they need 14 pitchers next year.

131 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:40 pm

[130] And they’ll give up Gleyber, Machine and Romine to get them.

132 seamus   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:41 pm

[128] Green finished ok but Boone didn’t even twitch. He needs the formula told to him. No instincts at all.

133 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:44 pm

A walk to Gardy here could be the start of a really big pointless inning that ends with three stranded runners.

134 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:47 pm

Hmm. Okay

135 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:48 pm

Should be a tie game

136 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:50 pm

Dammit, Gio

137 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:53 pm

Eat shit, blue.

138 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:54 pm

Make it a 1-run game

139 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:56 pm

Crap! Make them pitch strikes.

140 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:56 pm

Wtf are you swinging at??? : /

141 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 9:58 pm

He was swinging at the pitch he always swings at with 2 strikes. I don't understand why he doesn't move up a bit or shorten his swing a bit. He just swings at it like he's capable of reaching it.

142 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:05 pm

Judge would’ve swung at the pitch Brantley just stood there for

143 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:05 pm

Kahnle is a fucking badass

144 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:09 pm

Kahnle and Green are like polar opposites. One looks like he would drive a baseball through cement, the other always looks like a deer staring down the barrel of a rifle.

145 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:11 pm

How can you even appeal that? He barely flinched and the bat didn’t move

146 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:12 pm

I love Hicks. Now, hit one to the sticks

147 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:12 pm

Not what I had in mind

148 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:13 pm

Hicks watched 2 strikes. One called. Oi!

149 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:13 pm

Zero up

150 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:14 pm

Bent down at the pitch, a la Jeter, to make it look even better to the ump

151 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:14 pm

Remember getting all worked up about home field advantage?

152 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:14 pm

At least let the parrot out here

153 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:15 pm

[151] remember when we were savages?

154 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:17 pm

Dang, I took another peak...Sanchez finally showed up? Then an O-for inning. So according to juju I should stop watching again.

Sorry. I'm really done now.

155 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:17 pm

Zero coming in. Crooked number coming...

156 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:17 pm

[153] They need to tighten. This. Shit. Up. Right. Now.

157 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:17 pm

Yes! Zero! Be still my heart. I hope he walks the leadoff batter. Playoff traditions!

158 knuckles   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:18 pm

Can we swap ER for Voit before tomorrow.

159 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:21 pm

I wanted a walk. Not a mead of double! Atta boy, zero!

160 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:22 pm

Lead off
Oi!

161 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:22 pm

way to put him away

162 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:23 pm

Little things: When that ball got loose after the double, Judge was all the way in on the infield dirt helping back up. Nice to see.

163 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:24 pm

wow.

164 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:24 pm

Sure, why not.

165 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:25 pm

So is Ottavino the new run fairy. I can't remember who that was.

166 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:25 pm

This does not look promising.

167 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:27 pm

Not ready for prime time. I hope zero comes in tomorrow in a key spot to redeem himself and DJ adds ground balls to his repertoire.

168 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:27 pm

DJ doing his impression of what Sanchez might look like at first base.

169 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:27 pm

cc's last ever appearance?

170 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:27 pm

CC to the rescue. Pitch like it is 2009.

171 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:28 pm

holy fucking hell.

172 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:28 pm

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

173 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:29 pm

Talk about a choke job.

174 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:30 pm

looked like a double play. did he come off the bag?

175 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:31 pm

ah, missed the fucking ball. like all the other infielders...

176 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:31 pm

Defense is lacking. Even Didi is getting in on it.

177 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:32 pm

Apparently only Judge remembered how to use a baseball glove

178 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:34 pm

I say just keep hitting them and see what happens.

179 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:34 pm

At least we are saving our good relievers for the next three games that we have to win.

180 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:36 pm

let judge catch all the balls.

181 knuckles   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:36 pm

No shit. Boone should be managing this like an elimination game. And he does not seem to be.

182 seamus   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:36 pm

I appreciate Judge just saying - no I have it

183 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:37 pm

That would be ⚾ at it's finest. Finally Fucking beat verlander just to lose the next day.

184 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:37 pm

cc chant.

oh, wait. oh, no. don't let it end like that. no injury. get this last out. please.

185 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:38 pm

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

186 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:39 pm

sooo fucking sad :_(

i think his knee gave out. if not for the fucking errors, he would've finished the frame.

187 seamus   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:39 pm

Ugh poor CC.

188 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:39 pm

CC saying fuck this shit I'm going home

189 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:39 pm

CC! CC! CC! CC! CC! CC! CC! CC!CC! CC! CC! CC!CC! CC! CC! CC!CC! CC! CC! CC!CC! CC! CC! CC!CC! CC! CC! CC!

190 seamus   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:40 pm

Can we please use Britton and hold them so we can possibly rally.

191 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:42 pm

that K goes on CC's ledger, correct?

192 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:42 pm

OK, just caught up on the tape delay

LETS GO YANKEES

193 seamus   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:43 pm

Ok well that works.

194 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:44 pm

And that, children, is a thing they used to call leaving it all out on the field.

195 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:44 pm

Base runners needed.

196 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:44 pm

this is fucking miserable.

197 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:48 pm

A million column inches on the pitching and this is clearly an offensive collapse.

198 knuckles   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:48 pm

Please PH for Sanchez. Don’t care what he did last AB.

199 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:48 pm

Gardner has been a dumpster fire rhis series.

200 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:48 pm

that was a good swing. i mean, why not swing at a pitch in the other batting box when we need baserunners? seems like a sound idea. FUCK!

201 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:52 pm

Was that even a strike?

202 knuckles   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:52 pm

Gary is Soriano with a catchers mask. Time to cut bait.

203 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:52 pm

I agree BBiNC. Complete offensive fail.

204 seamus   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:52 pm

Well i guess they can miss the ball too

205 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:53 pm

let's have some phantom injuries and bring in voit, ford, and tauchman for tomorrow's game. also, gearrin for cc.

206 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:54 pm

[204] all it'll lead to is this pitching change. nothing more.

207 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:54 pm

Gary was screwed on his 3rd strike. Thanks to the broadcast and MLB, most will never know.

208 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:57 pm

motherfucker. seems like didi does that every at-bat...

209 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:58 pm

Basically all Ozuna needs to do is throw the fastball. This team forgot how to hit one.

210 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 10:58 pm

Osuna, how every the fuck you spell it

211 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:00 pm

omg. WTF?!?!?!

212 seamus   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:01 pm

This is pathetic

213 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:01 pm

This team is just mailing it in.

214 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:01 pm

this is utterly pathetic.

no point in even playing tomorrow.

215 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:02 pm

On the other hand, these broadcasts have shown me that a retro New Wave-looking Billy Idol wannabe can strut around a city leading a crowd to shout about tacos. So that’s a thing. I like tacos

216 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:03 pm

That was Judge's fault. He needs to wave off Torres there.

217 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:04 pm

The ball isn’t juiced, it’s greased

218 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:04 pm

unbelievable.

balk him home now.

219 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:04 pm

or, you know, that.

220 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:04 pm

Judge needs to catch that pitch too, being the only guy capable of it

221 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:06 pm

Just rack the focus back on Kate Upton

222 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:06 pm

Judge needs to tell at some people after this game. We all know Boone won't. Something needs to be done because this is more embarrassing than losing 16-1.

223 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:07 pm

Tell = yell. Damn auto correct

224 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:08 pm

[223] no, actually I like “tell at some people.” Tell it true.

225 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:08 pm

[221] i see what you did there

226 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:09 pm

this is like when they take the goalie out in hockey.

227 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:10 pm

Is Reamulto still available?

228 seamus   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:10 pm

How can we get Judge to play all 9 positions?

229 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:11 pm

[225] Jeez, I put that one on a tee. Was starting to worry :)

Truth be told, blurry one-half Kate Upton is kinda working for me anyway. It’s like the old TV shows where they put Vaseline on the lens for the women’s closeups.

230 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:12 pm

Gotten so bad the ball boy almost died

231 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:13 pm

[228] With CC gone and Gardner either gone or diminished, look for a raft of offseason “This is Judge’s team now” think pieces. May as well start now.

232 yankintexas   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:13 pm

Give Didi a gold glove.

233 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:17 pm

so, the only reason to tune into the bottom of the 9th, is to see if:

- we go down on the 3 pitches

OR

- we go down on an immaculate inning

234 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:18 pm

Twist ending: Stanton* comes in as the eighteenth pitcher of the inning and is spectacular.

*Not Mike. Though it occurs to me Jeff Nelson is in the building.

235 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:20 pm

just start tyler lyons tomorrow and let him throw a complete game. no matter what.

236 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:20 pm

[233] or to see who can break his tibia running to first

237 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:21 pm

LETS GO YANKEES

238 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:21 pm

[234] you ever make it down to the ATL for anything?

239 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:23 pm

[238] Not often I’m afraid, and when I do it’s for business with little downtime. Ever in the Triangle?

240 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:24 pm

Down five runs late? Jump on that first pitch!

241 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:25 pm

Finger hovered over the power button. Don’t need 20 min of Papi and ARod trading bons mots.

242 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:26 pm

[239] i hear ya. i used to be quite often. i used to play there a lot, and some old college roommates still live there. not sure when i'll be performing in that area again, but i'll be sure to let you know.

shaun p. was down here on business this summer, and we got to sneak in a hang for a few hours. it was great!

243 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:27 pm

fitting. steal all 3 bases, hicks.

244 seamus   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:28 pm

[241] yep same here. No reason to de brief on this crap fest

245 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:29 pm

[242] Sounds like fun. Only two instruments I know how to play are AM and FM though. (Dated joke but “MP3” doesn’t have he same ring.)

246 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:29 pm

what a fucking waste of a season :_(

247 seamus   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:29 pm

Alas...

248 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:32 pm

Goodnight morning all

249 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 17, 2019 11:33 pm

Just have to go 1-0 tomorrow.
