They are going to try but I really don’t know how they will get 60 games played...

Can we just ignore this sadness and make it go away? This doesn't even have train wreck-level of interest, it's just a morbidly defiant cash-grab.

Yankees Mets. Saturday, 7 pm. On the deuce.

4 rbj   ~  Jul 15, 2020 6:56 pm

Judge is playing today.

5 rbj   ~  Jul 18, 2020 8:58 am

German is retiring?

6 RIYank   ~  Jul 18, 2020 3:34 pm

[5] Huh, yeah, so it would appear... but mysteriously.

7 rbj   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:20 pm

It’s boy an exhibition, but hooray, baseball.

8 rbj   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:31 pm

Out

9 thelarmis   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:34 pm

Yanks said no official word on German.

I was surprised there’d be replay in today’s game, but they need to practice that too. Never should’ve taken that long to call Yo out. He would’ve been safe had he not pulled up big time. Nice play by Gio too. He got nailed in the nuts during pregame and fell to the ground in foul territory.

Silly steal attempt by Gleyber. I don’t read ESPN, but there’s a good long article on him there today. I’ll read it later.

Miggy Missiles with hard hit single!

Why am I getting the box score on top of the YES feed on my iPhone?

11 rbj   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:35 pm

Ah, ingot it to go away

12 thelarmis   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:39 pm

Who’s Ingot? ; )

Clint’s stance is weird. His swing and eyes on strike 3, were both really bad.

But: Baseball !!! ⚾️

13 thelarmis   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:43 pm

Confirmed: German is NOT retiring.

14 rbj   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:43 pm

I got

And given his injury history I don’t blame Frazier for wearing a mask. With his luck, he’d wind up in the hospital

15 rbj   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:44 pm

[13] Phew.

16 thelarmis   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:44 pm

Give Clint a Golden Glove!

17 thelarmis   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:46 pm

I thought it was pretty poetic that the first run was driven in by Gleyber hitting it off of Robbie’s glove!

18 thelarmis   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:49 pm

I loved seeing Didi take Max super deep. Hated seeing it in a red Philthy uni

19 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:49 pm

So happy to be watching real baseball! Not sure about the pumped in crowd noise

20 thelarmis   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:49 pm

Have you guys been seeing the Yankee commercials? Really clever and fun!

21 thelarmis   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:49 pm

Yeah, I’m not a fan of the fake noise

22 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:50 pm

And if I may add, a pleasure to be chatting with you guys!

23 thelarmis   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:51 pm

The Sockman with another hit! ESPN in mid-season form, and completely ignoring the game at hand.

24 thelarmis   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:51 pm

Yes! I miss my Banter team and family!!!

25 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:54 pm

Ok, with no fans in the stands, do they recycle foul balls?

26 rbj   ~  Jul 18, 2020 6:57 pm

There’s Merideth

27 thelarmis   ~  Jul 18, 2020 7:01 pm

Gleyber consistently positioned perfectly. King looks really good and poised.

28 thelarmis   ~  Jul 18, 2020 7:03 pm

GIO is sooo freaking good and smooooth!

29 thelarmis   ~  Jul 18, 2020 7:07 pm

Stanton is CRUSHING the ball! Goddamn, he hits it *hard* : o

30 thelarmis   ~  Jul 18, 2020 7:11 pm

Upper Deck for the Masked Man!

ESPN SUCKS!!!

31 Boatzilla   ~  Jul 18, 2020 7:38 pm

Dang, I'm missing out. I still haven't replied to MLB's discount offer. I wonder if it's worth it.

32 thelarmis   ~  Jul 18, 2020 7:42 pm

Higgy’s been dropping a lot of pitches tonight.

33 rbj   ~  Jul 18, 2020 7:53 pm

[31] I get it automatically. I’m that much of a junkie.

Ah, the Mutts are in fine fielding form.

34 Boatzilla   ~  Jul 18, 2020 8:04 pm

Alright, I am in. They are charging 45 bucks for the year.

35 Boatzilla   ~  Jul 18, 2020 8:05 pm

[33] Ha. I do to. I just didn't realize it. I'm that much of a slacker.

36 Boatzilla   ~  Jul 18, 2020 8:10 pm

I wonder if MLB players are using snuss. It's smokeless tobacco that doesn't require spitting. You can use it anywhere without people even know.

37 Boatzilla   ~  Jul 18, 2020 8:11 pm

I can't look at Familia without thinking about the Pirates "We Are Family" team.

38 rbj   ~  Jul 18, 2020 8:15 pm

Ma and pa won’t be traveling with the team to do radio. Apparently they’ll do it from home. Weird, but given their ages, it is the right call.

39 RIYank   ~  Jul 18, 2020 8:21 pm

Holy moly.
I forgot!
I'm just tuning in now!

40 RIYank   ~  Jul 18, 2020 8:26 pm

This Met pitcher seems familiar somehow...

41 RIYank   ~  Jul 18, 2020 8:28 pm

Good lord.
Well, that's why there's a pre-season.

42 RIYank   ~  Jul 18, 2020 8:28 pm

Oooooh. I think he might have been safe.

43 rbj   ~  Jul 18, 2020 8:34 pm

Otto has trouble with the steal, so he shouldn’t be used after the ninth inning this year.

44 rbj   ~  Jul 18, 2020 8:54 pm

Tack on runs.

45 RIYank   ~  Jul 18, 2020 8:58 pm

Wow.
A lot of singles!

46 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 18, 2020 9:02 pm

May be summer camp, but I love beating the Muts

47 RIYank   ~  Jul 18, 2020 9:16 pm

Man, that was fun.

48 RIYank   ~  Jul 18, 2020 9:16 pm

Night all!

49 rbj   ~  Jul 18, 2020 9:20 pm

Night. So good to have a game thread going again.

50 rbj   ~  Jul 19, 2020 6:04 pm

LeMachine is playing.

51 thelarmis   ~  Jul 19, 2020 6:12 pm

Nice to have Kay and Cone on MLBN

52 rbj   ~  Jul 19, 2020 6:17 pm

Judge!

53 thelarmis   ~  Jul 19, 2020 6:18 pm

ALL RISE!!!

54 thelarmis   ~  Jul 19, 2020 6:21 pm

Gleyber is sooo good

55 rbj   ~  Jul 19, 2020 6:29 pm

Hmmm, both my new new dogs are Jack Russells (mix)

56 thelarmis   ~  Jul 19, 2020 6:33 pm

Nice move, Monty!

57 rbj   ~  Jul 19, 2020 7:00 pm

Mets gotta Mets.

58 rbj   ~  Jul 19, 2020 7:16 pm

Kraken releases one.

59 rbj   ~  Jul 19, 2020 7:18 pm

Gritner almost joins the party.

60 rbj   ~  Jul 19, 2020 7:58 pm

Luuuuke!

61 rbj   ~  Jul 19, 2020 7:59 pm

Save some for the regular season, guys.

62 rbj   ~  Jul 19, 2020 8:22 pm

Dayum, Stanton.

63 rbj   ~  Jul 19, 2020 9:19 pm

Well that was fun

64 rbj   ~  Jul 20, 2020 5:20 pm

Devi is pitching. And not very well.

65 rbj   ~  Jul 20, 2020 5:24 pm

Only one run, phew.

66 rbj   ~  Jul 20, 2020 7:19 pm

Zack Britton, not Greinke, Michael.

67 rbj   ~  Jul 20, 2020 8:06 pm

Tied up!

68 RIYank   ~  Jul 20, 2020 8:08 pm

So, that Judge homer was weird, huh?

I bet he has the highest situational SLG in history: SLG with three outs.

69 rbj   ~  Jul 20, 2020 8:26 pm

As no extra inning weirdness.

70 rbj   ~  Jul 20, 2020 8:26 pm

[68] Heh.

71 Boatzilla   ~  Jul 21, 2020 1:09 am

[69] Now that reminds me of Japanese baseball, but they seem to be playing 10 in post-covid rules. I think they used to go to 11. (rim-shot)
