Judge supposedly back tomorrow.

2 Shaun P.   ~  Aug 25, 2020 2:29 pm

[1] I hope so! But three-ish hours to game time and I have not seen the move announced yet. I hope he is back. Yanks could use the extra offense.

3 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2020 6:14 pm

Crap, rained out.

4 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2020 6:34 pm

DH tomorrow, starting at 4pm

5 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2020 9:46 pm

No hitter!

6 rbj   ~  Aug 26, 2020 3:12 pm

Hey, actual baseball

7 rbj   ~  Aug 26, 2020 3:21 pm

Sigh.

8 rbj   ~  Aug 26, 2020 4:06 pm

Ugh

9 rbj   ~  Aug 26, 2020 4:07 pm

Oh FFS

10 rbj   ~  Aug 26, 2020 4:29 pm

Getting URPped. And no hit.

11 rbj   ~  Aug 26, 2020 4:49 pm

Luuuuke! No hitter gone, shutout gone.

12 rbj   ~  Aug 26, 2020 5:25 pm

Cole’s streak is gone.

13 mhoward120   ~  Aug 26, 2020 6:31 pm

This “season” is both messy and stupid.
I think that it’s beneath the dignity of the Yankees.

14 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 26, 2020 7:00 pm

Just catching up on the news here, Mariners and Brewers not playing today! Has the YES team talked about this situation at all yet? Just turning the game on..

15 rbj   ~  Aug 26, 2020 7:18 pm

[14] I’m watching on ESPN. They are talking about it right now.

16 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 26, 2020 7:29 pm

[15] Kay mentioned it, plus about some individual players not playing. Awkward silence followed...to be fair, tough conversation that these guys probably can't handle live on air. Maybe Cone could.

17 rbj   ~  Aug 26, 2020 7:29 pm

Hooray, a run.

18 rbj   ~  Aug 26, 2020 7:57 pm

Modammit!

19 rbj   ~  Aug 26, 2020 8:09 pm

That really, really sucked.

20 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 3:07 pm

Judge back to the DL.
Yankees-Mets now.

21 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 3:15 pm

Good start for Monty.

22 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 3:48 pm

clint!

23 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 4:27 pm

Gary is lost at the plate.

24 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 28, 2020 4:35 pm

JFC, Miguel! Put a tent on that circus. And there goes the shutout. Rats!

25 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 4:37 pm

That is a clusterfuck.

26 mhoward120   ~  Aug 28, 2020 4:38 pm

(25). This “season” is a clusterfuck.

27 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 4:43 pm

Finally

28 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 4:47 pm

Congrats, kid!

29 mhoward120   ~  Aug 28, 2020 4:53 pm

Does Boone care enough about winning to take Monty out.

30 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 4:55 pm

Yup, take him out.

31 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 5:00 pm

Of course.

32 mhoward120   ~  Aug 28, 2020 5:01 pm

It seems as if Chad Green probably doesn’t care enough.

33 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 28, 2020 5:01 pm

Put it on a fucking tee why don't ya?

34 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 5:08 pm

Oy

35 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 5:09 pm

SMH

36 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 28, 2020 5:13 pm

Was gonna run to the store but decided to wait til the game was over. I choose pooooorly.

37 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 5:40 pm

Boo

38 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 7:29 pm

Rain delay.

39 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 7:45 pm

So the Yankees are the visiting team, but still wearing their home uniform.

40 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 8:17 pm

Who’s this Mercer kid?

41 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 8:28 pm

Hooray, a lead. Now, how are they going to blow it.

42 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 28, 2020 8:30 pm

Not good enough as recent history has proven.

43 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 9:27 pm

Welp, it’s starting.

44 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 9:56 pm

Hey, Chapman time.

45 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 10:03 pm

Ugh, stolen base.

46 rbj   ~  Aug 28, 2020 10:05 pm

Yup. Anyone not expect that?

47 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 28, 2020 10:05 pm

Sweet.

48 Boatzilla   ~  Aug 28, 2020 10:07 pm

[46] Yep. I smelled it in the 5th. Horseshit.

49 yankintexas   ~  Aug 28, 2020 11:59 pm

I guess that no-conditioning-r-us / next man up philosophy has ran out of gas. :(

50 rbj   ~  Aug 29, 2020 12:10 pm

How about beating the Mets today?

51 thelarmis   ~  Aug 29, 2020 12:18 pm

Why the fuck is singles hitter Sockman hitting cleanup???

52 rbj   ~  Aug 29, 2020 12:20 pm

Thank you Luke

53 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 29, 2020 1:16 pm

Frazier is out.

54 rbj   ~  Aug 29, 2020 2:28 pm

rats.

55 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 29, 2020 2:37 pm

Atta boy, Chad O. You da man!

56 thelarmis   ~  Aug 29, 2020 2:38 pm

Boone is really sucking balls. Leave Happ in to face Dom here. You know he’s going yard now...

57 rob_smith_51   ~  Aug 29, 2020 2:38 pm

Their lineup looks fearsome.

58 mhoward120   ~  Aug 29, 2020 2:45 pm

Kinda looking forward to the first extra-inning loss under the new system.

59 thelarmis   ~  Aug 29, 2020 2:47 pm

I was just gonna say, we’re positioned to lose in extras...

60 rbj   ~  Aug 29, 2020 2:47 pm

Infuriating.

61 rbj   ~  Aug 29, 2020 3:11 pm

Walk off wild pitch!

62 thelarmis   ~  Aug 29, 2020 3:11 pm

Thank you, Dellin!

63 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 29, 2020 3:11 pm

Well that sums it up.

64 thelarmis   ~  Aug 29, 2020 3:11 pm

True Yankee!!! ; )

65 rob_smith_51   ~  Aug 29, 2020 3:13 pm

On MLB Gameday it shows a pitch 3 feet above the batter.

66 mhoward120   ~  Aug 29, 2020 3:17 pm

What does it say that I’m a little disappointed that there was no extra-inning loss today? It would just be a continuation of a clown season.

67 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 1:16 pm

Crud, tied.

68 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 1:43 pm

Yay, tied

69 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 2:19 pm

Yankees are going to lose.

70 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 3:11 pm

Hicks ties it up!
You can't predict baseball

71 rob_smith_51   ~  Aug 30, 2020 3:12 pm

Yay, Extra innings!

72 rob_smith_51   ~  Aug 30, 2020 3:15 pm

Estrada got lucky that he wasn't out.

73 mhoward120   ~  Aug 30, 2020 3:15 pm

A day late but finally we can get our first extry inning L

74 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 3:30 pm

Gio! Whodathunkit?

75 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2020 3:33 pm

It's okay if we can only win by walk-off, right?

76 rob_smith_51   ~  Aug 30, 2020 4:22 pm

Makes up for the blown 4 run lead the other day.

77 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 4:41 pm

Safe!

78 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 4:57 pm

Tyler!

79 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 5:11 pm

Devi is looking good.

80 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 5:52 pm

Now Hicks is injured?

81 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 6:14 pm

Ugh, Luke

82 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 6:18 pm

Dammit, tied.

83 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 6:19 pm

Get that run back.

84 rob_smith_51   ~  Aug 30, 2020 6:39 pm

So do they do the seventh inning stretch in these games?

85 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 6:41 pm

Come on Gary.

86 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 6:44 pm

Kraken go boom!

87 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2020 6:44 pm

That was very satisfying.

88 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2020 6:45 pm

Hey! I had meatball and salami pizza tonight! Wow, I feel like I should get some credit.

89 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 6:55 pm

I haven’t heard it.

90 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 7:00 pm

Two down

91 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 7:03 pm

Uh oh.

92 RIYank   ~  Aug 30, 2020 7:08 pm

WHEW!

93 rbj   ~  Aug 30, 2020 7:08 pm

Strike three! Phew

94 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2020 6:15 pm

So now it’s Cole with the #obligatoryhomer

95 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2020 6:28 pm

Oh come on.

96 mhoward120   ~  Aug 31, 2020 6:38 pm

Who was it that said that Cole was the best pitcher in baseball?

97 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2020 6:52 pm

If other teams wanted Deivi, I’m glad Cashman made no trades.

98 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2020 7:43 pm

A hit would be nice as would some runs.

99 Boatzilla   ~  Aug 31, 2020 8:00 pm

I think this game is over. I know I'm going out on a limb here. ;>)

100 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2020 8:10 pm

Gotta be safe.

101 rob_smith_51   ~  Aug 31, 2020 8:13 pm

Who is this Cole character.? 8 hits and 4 walks in 5 innings doesn't seem like a keeper.

102 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2020 8:28 pm

I’d like to make a missing offense report.

103 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2020 8:29 pm

Gio!

104 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2020 8:59 pm

Luke! We’re only mostly dead.

105 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2020 6:20 pm

Let’s go Tanaka

106 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2020 6:21 pm

Le Machine!

107 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2020 7:00 pm

DJLM goes both ways . . . in hitting home runs.

108 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2020 7:14 pm

Almost, Gary.

109 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2020 7:21 pm

#obligatoryhomer. Sigh.

110 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 1, 2020 7:46 pm

I had a kid on my jv team years ago who dove for everything. Whether or not they were warranted.....well....

111 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 1, 2020 7:58 pm

Well Hell's Bells, Gio!

112 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2020 7:58 pm

Hot diggity!

113 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 1, 2020 7:59 pm

Catcher didn't act like he got robbed. Lol...

114 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2020 7:59 pm

Nothing to overturn.

115 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2020 8:32 pm

Insurance would be nice

116 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2020 8:41 pm

One down

117 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2020 8:44 pm

Two

118 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 1, 2020 8:45 pm

YIKES!

119 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2020 8:49 pm

Three! Night all.

120 rbj   ~  Sep 1, 2020 8:50 pm

Oh come on, last thing we need is suspensions.

121 RIYank   ~  Sep 1, 2020 8:50 pm

Not a cool way to end the game, but, good win.

122 rbj   ~  Sep 2, 2020 6:13 pm

Blech

123 rbj   ~  Sep 2, 2020 6:17 pm

Oh for fuck’s sake.

124 rbj   ~  Sep 2, 2020 6:19 pm

Looks like a bullpen game.

125 rbj   ~  Sep 2, 2020 6:48 pm

A drone?

126 rbj   ~  Sep 2, 2020 7:29 pm

RIP, Tom Seaver.

127 rob_smith_51   ~  Sep 2, 2020 7:51 pm

Lets go Tauchman! Before we get to the sub-200 part of the lineup.

128 rbj   ~  Sep 2, 2020 7:53 pm

It’s up to you, Gary.

129 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 2, 2020 7:54 pm

[126] Such sad news, one of the best ever.
The Rays are really giving it to the Yanks this year, ain't they?
[128] Will he even hit .150 this year?

130 rbj   ~  Sep 2, 2020 7:55 pm

Yup.

131 rbj   ~  Sep 2, 2020 7:59 pm

Ok, so not winning the division won’t be so bad.

132 rbj   ~  Sep 2, 2020 8:02 pm

Not intentional, but I can understand a zero tolerance policy.

133 rbj   ~  Sep 2, 2020 8:39 pm

Shutout gone!

134 Shaun P.   ~  Sep 2, 2020 9:10 pm

[126] I will never forget him calling games with the Scooter. I learned so much from those games.

[133] There is definitely a lot of fight in this team, no pun intended.

135 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 2, 2020 9:46 pm

The MLB disciplinary team (is that Joe Torre, still?) must be on crack. No way in hell Chapman would throw that hard at someone's head, much less in a close game against a rival.

So they are saying you are not even allowed to make a mistake if it comes close to the batter. I call bullshit on that.

Whish I could hear Tom Terrific's take.

136 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 2, 2020 9:55 pm

Bummer. They made it exciting.

137 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2020 3:07 pm

Yankees Mets about to start.

138 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2020 3:39 pm

Tyler gets a hit and a ribeye.

139 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2020 3:42 pm

Sac fly, I'll take it.

140 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2020 3:46 pm

I approve of all this run scoring.

141 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2020 4:59 pm

I do not approve of the Mets scoring.

142 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2020 6:09 pm

Oh hey, a lead again.

143 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2020 6:12 pm

Insurance!

144 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2020 6:32 pm

Needed insurance.

145 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2020 6:45 pm

Mo’s a grandpa!

146 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2020 6:51 pm

Got greedy

147 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2020 6:52 pm

Ugh, tied.

148 rob_smith_51   ~  Sep 3, 2020 7:10 pm

Wow a double play with a man at second. That hurt.]

149 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2020 7:11 pm

This game stinks

150 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2020 7:13 pm

Of course. Who didn’t see that coming

151 yankintexas   ~  Sep 3, 2020 9:32 pm

A bunch of deadwood bats in the lineup, an aging / mediocre rotation and bullpen so these results should be expected.

152 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 3:05 pm

Gio and Lasagna on the DL. This season sucks.

153 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 4:11 pm

DH vs. Orioles @ 5 pm

154 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 4:18 pm

Not a good start

155 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 4:22 pm

Kraken!

156 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 4:46 pm

I’ll take that from Brett.

157 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 5:16 pm

Nah, safe.

158 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 5:19 pm

Phew, that could have been bad.

159 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 5:35 pm

And that was.

160 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 4, 2020 5:49 pm

Early start? What I miss?
Quiet Banter these days...guess everyone distracted by many other things, understandably..
Kenny Sing is back!! Nice, love him in the booth

161 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 5:56 pm

Crap. Tied.

162 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 5:57 pm

[160] A Yankees lead.

163 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 6:24 pm

Wasn’t Britton supposed to be good?

164 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 6:49 pm

Utterly pathetic.

165 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 7:03 pm

Extree innings

166 mhoward120   ~  Sep 4, 2020 7:08 pm

(164). Amen

167 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 7:11 pm

Yankees are going to lose

168 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 7:14 pm

Put him on and set up the DP.

169 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 7:28 pm

Miggy Jr. with the knock.

170 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 7:31 pm

Yay, Clint.

171 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 4, 2020 7:32 pm

Holder with the run scored?! 2020 baseball..
And still another game tonight?

172 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 7:42 pm

I don’t mind being wrong.

173 rbj   ~  Sep 4, 2020 7:43 pm

[171] It’s gonna be a weird box score.

174 RIYank   ~  Sep 4, 2020 8:35 pm

I like this Deivi.

175 RIYank   ~  Sep 4, 2020 8:48 pm

Now not so much.

176 thelarmis   ~  Sep 4, 2020 8:55 pm

Kratz!

177 thelarmis   ~  Sep 4, 2020 9:34 pm

Eric! ; )

178 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 4, 2020 9:40 pm

In to bitch about the double clutch lollipop. Fucking seriously!

179 thelarmis   ~  Sep 4, 2020 9:40 pm

Dammit. Miggy continuing to double pump. Now, Deivi has to pitch with a man on board and no one out...

180 thelarmis   ~  Sep 4, 2020 9:41 pm

Haha - great minds drink alike!

181 OldYanksFan   ~  Sep 4, 2020 10:06 pm

Greetings all.
I just looked it up.
BRef has DEIVI GARCIA at 5'9 / 140.
ESPN a bit more generous at 5'10 / 163.
Either way, a strong wind could blow him over.

182 mhoward120   ~  Sep 5, 2020 3:39 pm

I’m beginning to think the unthinkable - this team could miss the playoffs entirely. Only a 4-game lead on the O’s which could be down to 2 very soon. It wasn’t long ago that there was a 4-game lead on the Rays.

183 rbj   ~  Sep 5, 2020 5:22 pm

Gleyber’s back.

184 rbj   ~  Sep 5, 2020 6:54 pm

45 Ks in 97 ABs for Gary, per the Os broadcasters.

185 rbj   ~  Sep 5, 2020 7:18 pm

Good start for Cole

186 rbj   ~  Sep 5, 2020 7:26 pm

46 in 98 now.

187 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 5, 2020 7:33 pm

I do like Frazier. He still looks uneasy in the outfield. At least he's catching most balls his way this go round.

188 rbj   ~  Sep 5, 2020 7:57 pm

47 in 99. Sad.

189 rbj   ~  Sep 5, 2020 8:07 pm

Criminal to waste a great Cole start.

190 rbj   ~  Sep 5, 2020 8:17 pm

Cole’s last inning if not last batter.

191 rbj   ~  Sep 5, 2020 8:20 pm

Argh.

192 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 5, 2020 8:20 pm

Mother Fucking Bollocks!

193 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 5, 2020 8:23 pm

Game over. Sigh....Go Islanders. Game 7!

194 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 5, 2020 8:32 pm

Watching his Yankee team is like watching the Titanic.

Overconfident. Red flags everywhere. Arrogance. Now sinking. Not enough lifeboats. Time to jump ship.

195 rbj   ~  Sep 6, 2020 12:25 pm

I wake up from a nap for a crapfest?

196 rob_smith_51   ~  Sep 6, 2020 12:27 pm

I always thought the most impressive thing about Cal Ripken Jr. is that he didn't name his son Cal.

197 thelarmis   ~  Sep 6, 2020 12:43 pm

We suck.

198 thelarmis   ~  Sep 6, 2020 12:52 pm

Another fastball down the middle a Yankee can’t do anything with. Another batter waaay under the Mendoza line. A day off for a 23-year who apparently is healthy enough to play, a day after he returns? Why the fuck does Hicks ‘need a day’? There are 3 weeks left in the season and we’re not making the playoffs, even though every team makes the playoffs this season.

And, fuck these 7 inning games and a runner on 2nd base in extras. This isn’t fucking little league. I constantly have leg issues and play the most physically demanding instrument in the world. I’m not a world class athlete that is rich and has trainers. I manage to show up to work and play every single day without complaint.

Apparently, I’m pissed off! (Actually, just really hungover...)

Voit’s ‘foot thing’ is not good. DJ doesn’t play last night. Gritner is batting 3rd. Tauchman has batted clean up! Bullpen usage is crap. We’re getting URPed (again). Oreo’s will overtake us in the division. Blow Jays will destroy us. We’ll be lucky to win 3 out 10 against them. Fuckity fucking fuck fucks.

Why is Gardner batting 3rd? I am beginning to think that Boone is not that good of a manager. Maybe it was like when Torre batted Ruben Sierra cleanup because he hit well ten years ago against a certain pitcher.

Can we get more than one hit and one run?

202 thelarmis   ~  Sep 6, 2020 2:19 pm

rbj - no. But, we can give those things up to terrible teams.

I sure hope that the Islanders fare better against Tampa Bay than the Yankees have.

Ore cluster farm.

Pathetic.

206 rbj   ~  Sep 6, 2020 3:15 pm

This team just isn't good right now.

207 thelarmis   ~  Sep 6, 2020 3:16 pm

We will soon be under .500

Young, in-shape, professional athletes who are babied and have every possible amenity should NOT need days off. Especially, in a shortened season.

Lose 3 of 4 to the O's...????
[209] All time great, I would have thought he was older than 81 though.
[208] What's up thelarmis! Yeah, I don't get it at all, is this coming from the front office?

Labor Day just isn’t the same without Jerry Lewis.

62 miles. The closest the Yankees have ever played from my house. So I got that going for me.
