Nail-biting time for the Yanks and Guardians in the Bronx tonight. The weather looks lousy. The fans will be noisy. We will be rooting.

Never mind the Hot Stove:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Rain delayed.

2 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 17, 2022 5:44 pm

I'm really curious to see whether or not they play this game tonight. If they don't, I bet they do something stupid and schedule a day game tomorrow.

3 mhoward120   ~  Oct 17, 2022 5:45 pm

There's no logical reason for MLB to insist that the LCS and WS have such immutable starting dates.

4 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 17, 2022 5:47 pm

[3] I'm quite certain it's FOX and TBS who do the insisting. Actually, TBS probably doesn't care a bit. But FOX signs the checks, so they get to choose the music.

5 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2022 5:54 pm

Yankees Twitter says "game will begin in a delay." Huh? Oi!

6 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 17, 2022 5:58 pm

Evening, Team, live, from Yankee StadiumintheBronx!

I’m way up, behind the plate, under the roof. But it’s not raining right now, so far as I can see.

7 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2022 6:08 pm

[6] Please tell them to start the game. ;>)

Most importantly, enjoy!

8 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 17, 2022 6:10 pm

(6) Send us a pic weeping! Rare day at the office for me so I’m braving the rush hour train now..

9 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2022 6:18 pm

[8] Hey, Willie Loman. I'm sitting at home in my jammies and a hoodie caressing a hot mug of java.

I will say a little prayer for you (while I put on my make up)....

10 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 17, 2022 6:23 pm

(9) Didn’t Willie Loman at least have a foxy mistress amidst his loserdom..??

11 mhoward120   ~  Oct 17, 2022 6:29 pm

Hope the game is postponed. Would much rather face Bieber with a somewhat more rested bullpen.

12 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2022 6:32 pm

[10] I knew there had to be a good reason for you to schlep from Yokohama. Just be careful.

13 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2022 6:34 pm

[6] If it's not raining, why is the game delayed?

I'm in Tokyo of course, but my iPhone is saying it's just cloudy in NYC. What's our human in the stands say?

14 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 17, 2022 6:37 pm

Happy to, Jazz, but how?

15 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 17, 2022 6:38 pm

Coming down hard now.

16 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 17, 2022 6:40 pm

Could be that they’d try to start at 10, when rain is supposed to stop

17 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2022 6:42 pm

Been waiting since I woke up. Now this. Blast! No chance I will intentionally stay up past 11:30. Grrrrrr......

18 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 17, 2022 6:54 pm

And I have a game at 9 in the AM tomorrow!

19 mhoward120   ~  Oct 17, 2022 7:05 pm

It looks like it could rain until 11 or 12. Then another hour to remove the tarp and ready the field. If that's so, playing the game tonite would forever be a stain on MLB.

20 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2022 7:16 pm

A do or die game five ending at 2 a.m. Fucking bollocks.

21 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 17, 2022 7:43 pm

TBS Is saying the game will start in a “couple of hours”

22 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2022 7:49 pm

[21] yikes

23 RIYank   ~  Oct 17, 2022 7:57 pm

For our sake and esp Weeping's, I hope they just reschedule it really soon.

24 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2022 8:00 pm

The silence from the MLB Twitter account is criminal. Last update was at official game time. These fuckers don't give a damn about the fans.

25 mhoward120   ~  Oct 17, 2022 8:15 pm

Weeping, is the tarp still on the field?

26 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 17, 2022 8:16 pm

It’s all about TV $$$

27 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2022 8:31 pm

Looks like I’m part of the same system here in SE Virginia. The thing is, down here there’s lightening. And I wasn’t aware until I moved to Ohio of the rule that sports have to stop when lightening shows up and can’t start again without 30 minutes of no lightening.

So it’s more about lightening than rain

28 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 17, 2022 8:42 pm

PPD! Now a 5am start for use here Wed morning..I’ll get up at 6 to join in.

29 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2022 8:43 pm

4:07??? Total bollocks. I’ll be teaching during the entire game

30 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2022 8:44 pm

Yup, 4 pm tomorrow.

31 RIYank   ~  Oct 17, 2022 8:45 pm

I can watch some of it.
Sorry thelarmis. And *very* sorry if Weeping can't make it!

But... does this mean Nestor can pitch?

32 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2022 8:48 pm

wow, ok. I can watch at least. Sorry for weeping!

33 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 17, 2022 8:51 pm

So I can sleep before my own game! It’s a 65+ league

34 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2022 8:51 pm

Angel Hernandez in charge of decision making.

35 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2022 8:55 pm

Yes on Nestor, but also probably yes on Beiber…

36 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 17, 2022 9:01 pm

[34] Actually, it's par for the course for MLB and the Yankees management. Make money. Fuck the fans.

37 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 17, 2022 9:02 pm

As the great Tom Petty said, the waiting is the hardest part...

38 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 18, 2022 2:33 pm

My wife and I listen to Yankee games on WFAN most nights during the summer while we're eating dinner on our front porch. I have no front porch today at the office, but I'll trust John and Suzyn to take me home.

Last year, I listened to the game at Fenway driving back from Auburn and was also listening to them, and the game got depressing pretty fast. Hopefully, we win today.

Let's go Yan-kees!

39 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:04 pm

LET’S Go YANK-EEES!

40 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:09 pm

Damn Kean

41 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:09 pm

Typo damn autocorrect

42 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:09 pm

c'mon Yankees!

43 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:10 pm

cortes commandl looks a bit better so far than in game 2. I think.

44 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:11 pm

Nice.

45 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:11 pm

nice!

46 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:12 pm

7 pitch inning. Huzzah!

47 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:12 pm

38)I'm listening too!

48 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:12 pm

I love plays, when the other team tries them.
Pop bunts are pretty much my favorite.

49 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:16 pm

good start!

50 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:17 pm

Also walks. I like walks.

51 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:21 pm

Judge strikeouts, on the other hand, not a favorite of mine.

52 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:22 pm

it's hurting having our best hitter struggle.

53 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:23 pm

the Rizzo special...

54 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:23 pm

Can't let them off the hook here...

55 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:23 pm

Right.
Okay, freebies accepted, now MAKE THEM PAY.

56 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:24 pm

[52] And by "our", you mean "humanity's"

57 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:25 pm

[56] indeed

58 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:25 pm

Stantonian!

59 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:25 pm

WOOO HOOOOO!!!! Stanton!

60 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:26 pm

Stantonian

61 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:26 pm

Stanton!

62 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:26 pm

[54] we definitely didn't!

63 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:26 pm

Yum.
Man that is nice. That is SO FREAKING NICE.

I hope Weeping caught it!

64 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:26 pm

FUCK YEAH

65 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:28 pm

Nice hustle

66 mhoward120   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:28 pm

Thank you, Tito

67 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:28 pm

Good hustle! Glad he didn't think that was a homer..

68 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:28 pm

Oh man.
I was thinking, "And Civale's pitch count is soaring -- he'll be out of the game in a few innings!"

But, you know, no rush. Hang around, buddy, I like your style!

69 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:28 pm

A peek into my life right now. I'm sitting in a school district training, ostensibly lesson planning -- and collaborating with the other teachers at my table.

I've got Gameday open on my phone. I just had a small private celebration when I saw this: "In play run(s)."

Was it a single? And then...

"Giancarlo Stanton homers (2) on a line drive..."

I honestly almost jumped out of my seat. And all these other teachers are just collaborating...

70 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:29 pm

[69] haha nice!

71 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:29 pm

Quick bye bye. But 3 (so far) is a good omen

72 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:30 pm

Ah.
Guess not.
Well, 'all hands on deck' for the Guardians, obviously.

73 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:33 pm

Sirius radio call was too serious. Oh, well. Whoo-hoo, Stanton!

74 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:33 pm

alas. C'mon Bader!

75 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:33 pm

[73] too sirius?

76 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:37 pm

nice walk!

77 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:39 pm

Hey, Team!

Take Two, live, from Yankee StadiumintheBronx!

Stanton’s shot was incredible to behold!

Fuck did he scorch that baseball.

78 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:39 pm

4 hour game?

79 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:39 pm

Wooo hooo!
Have a blast, Weeping!

80 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:41 pm

[77] glad you made it back. enjoy weeping!

81 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:41 pm

It’s electric here, RI! I’m so excited!

82 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:41 pm

I can't believe I said "Wooo hooo!"
I should have said, "Ho-yo-to-ho!"

83 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:45 pm

Nestor is dealing!

84 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:45 pm

Laughing.
Indeed you should have.

85 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:45 pm

beautiful inning!

86 mhoward120   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:45 pm

Bullpen, my ass

87 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:46 pm

And he’s keeping the pitch count down

88 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:53 pm

All rise!

89 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:53 pm

That’s wonderful.

90 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:53 pm

All RISE!!!! YAY

91 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:53 pm

YES!

92 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:54 pm

Fuck!

Yaaayuuyy!!!!

93 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:54 pm

It's a good day.
Wow, Weeping got a beauty, huh?

Uh, I mean, knock on wood!

94 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:56 pm

Here comes the Judge!

95 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 3:56 pm

I also feel like we're giving Bob Costas a present that he richly deserves.

96 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:03 pm

Wonderful.

97 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:03 pm

Oy, someone has to call for that pop up.

98 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:03 pm

Yuck.

99 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:03 pm

That's a foul ball.

100 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:04 pm

Sometimes it pays to wake up at 5:00 AM. Today is one of those rare days. Got to see big dingers by the big men, tight pitching so far.

Hopefully, the Yankees make is possible for me to nap in the later innings....

....but not with bozo plays like that.

101 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:05 pm

Oswaldo drops that with or without hicks. Grrrrr....

102 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:06 pm

And now Hicks is out, Falafel in.

103 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:07 pm

oh geez Marwin. Carpenter is a no go I guess.

104 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:08 pm

One salami away.

105 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:08 pm

ugh not good

106 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:08 pm

Ok, Marwin is a bit better

107 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:10 pm

[101] rather Hicks drops that with or with out Cabrera.

108 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:12 pm

Let me tell you... the thirty seconds or so in between "In play run(s)" and the actual explanation -- along with the number of runs -- is just awful.

109 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:12 pm

Phew

110 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:12 pm

Phew, could have been much worse.

111 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:13 pm

He’s getting hit kind of hard all of a sudden, isn’t he?

112 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:14 pm

[108] Oh yeah I'm familiar with that feeling!
It should have a name.

113 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:14 pm

[92] You must be loving this. Wish I was there.

114 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:14 pm

[111] he seemed to loose command after the injury but it seemed to come back maybe at the end there. But yeah harder hit than earlier for sure.

115 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:15 pm

Need more runs.

116 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:16 pm

every appeal to first makes me nervous. I never know what those guys are going to rule.

117 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:19 pm

c'mon make this guy work more...

118 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:20 pm

Really don’t like Kuan

119 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:21 pm

[118] I still think it is Karma with the way the Yankee fans apparently treated him.

120 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:24 pm

That's what an ss arm will get ya. Little bobble but Oswaldo can rifle ot over for an out.

121 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:25 pm

Boat, I didn’t get up! Only left the futon at 6:10 :(
Hank, I know that feeling exactly when following Gameday sometimes when at the office!
Weeping, glad you made it!
Everyone else, I missed the taters, but thanks for all the great descriptions!
Kitchen, where’s the espresso..?

122 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:25 pm

Safe.

123 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:25 pm

Bravo, Nestor.
Bravo.

124 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:25 pm

Nestor still nasty

125 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:25 pm

Nice. That's more like it. Back to Efficient Nestor.

126 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:26 pm

Looks safe.

127 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:26 pm

Atta boy, Tito!

128 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:26 pm

hope they can't challenge that

129 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:27 pm

It appears the baseball gods are on our side tonight.

130 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:29 pm

[121] I went to bed early, popped a pill and set the alarm.

131 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:29 pm

So what happened to Hicks?

132 mhoward120   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:29 pm

Thanks again, Tito

133 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:30 pm

[129] A blooper to left disagrees with you.

134 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:31 pm

[131] collision on blooper to left with Cabrera. Knocked knees.

135 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:31 pm

Great quote from Francona there.

136 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:32 pm

[113] The gods giveth. The gods taketh away. We're still on top.

137 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:33 pm

Feh

138 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:34 pm

Not good. No additional pressure.

139 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:34 pm

is it too early to start counting outs?

140 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:35 pm

4 more years of Hicks.

141 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:37 pm

Nestor with the great pitch count. Who closes tonight though?

142 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:42 pm

KWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!

143 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:42 pm

Nestor!!!

144 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:42 pm

Love my Nasty

145 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:42 pm

12 more outs

146 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:42 pm

alright! nice job Cortes!

147 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:43 pm

One more for Nasty Nestor?

148 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:43 pm

Nestor still dealing!

149 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:44 pm

Nestor still dealing!
Nestorrrrrrr!!!

150 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:44 pm

[147] maybe batter by batter? I know his pitch count is ok but he looks like he is tiring a bit.

151 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:46 pm

Suzyn's already talking about the flight to Houston. I wish she'd cut that out. It's only 4-1, after all.

152 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:48 pm

nice at bat!

153 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:48 pm

Lead off walks are good

154 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:51 pm

Fuck!

155 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:52 pm

Aaron is tired

156 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:52 pm

I'm glad they are taking him out

157 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:56 pm

Just reading about todays Cleveland starter, lot of baseball Twitter scratching their heads at that decision..worked out for us though!
Crowd seems sleepy at the Stadium..everyone tired from last night?

158 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:56 pm

Rizzo!!!!

159 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:57 pm

yeah rizzo!

160 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:57 pm

Got that run back

161 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:57 pm

And that's what the stolen base gets you.
This team is so much better with Judge batting 2nd. Why did it take so long.

162 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 18, 2022 4:59 pm

Gorgeous line drive from Ratso there!
Looked beautiful from up here!

163 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:03 pm

[161] More plate appearances to get to 62. But yes the lineup makes more sense with Judge batting 2nd.

164 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:03 pm

OK. Now Oswaldo has had 2 clank off his mitt. Oi!

165 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:04 pm

not good

166 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:05 pm

Yikes!

167 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:05 pm

Umm

168 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:06 pm

That was too close..!
Johnny Lasagna for the 7th if he gets out of this?

169 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:06 pm

Biggest ab of the game.

170 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:09 pm

Strike 4. Yes!

171 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:09 pm

phew!

172 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:09 pm

YES!

173 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:09 pm

Better

174 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:09 pm

9 more outs

175 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:09 pm

I would probably go another inning with him.

176 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:10 pm

Nice comeback Lasagna

177 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:12 pm

Can Flo order up some insurance?

178 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:13 pm

Finally sitting in front of TV…

179 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:13 pm

[131] Knee. On the botched pop up.

180 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:13 pm

[178] the instant feedback might be shocking to the system...

181 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:14 pm

Bader’s here.

182 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:16 pm

Running here, is what I meant. And so he did.

183 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:16 pm

Bader should have kept going. He was out if he catches it anyway.

184 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:17 pm

Here come Matty Mustache!

185 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:19 pm

Lame.

186 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:19 pm

That was uninspiring.

187 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:20 pm

looked bad in that ab

188 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:20 pm

Anti-climactic. The average high schooler would have looked just as terrible.

189 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:22 pm

Who plays LF now?

190 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:22 pm

12-6 curve then 96 on the outside corner..yikes.
Boone, PLEASE don’t over think this, leave in Loisiaga..

191 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:23 pm

Not sure I liked that move. Yanks should be focused on getting outs.

192 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:24 pm

[189] I'm guessing Cabrera. IKF to short.

193 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:25 pm

Why wouldn’t LoCastro go into left?

194 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:25 pm

[189] indeed Cabrera and IKF at short

195 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:25 pm

LoCastro’s on the roster, right?

196 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:26 pm

forgot about Locust (aka Locastro) as an option

197 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:28 pm

Okay.
Breathe.
That's one out.
Eight to go.

198 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:28 pm

[190] Absolutely.

199 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:30 pm

[190]. Their bullpen is really good.

200 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:31 pm

The Guardians are just unreal. Huge percentage of their hits are just weak.

Show/Hide Comments 201-275
201 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:31 pm

I swear. I cringe to think about the average exit velocities for Cleveland hitters in this series.

202 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:34 pm

Phew.

203 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:34 pm

Okay.
Breathe. Breathe.

Why am I tense with a four run lead?????

204 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:34 pm

Now only six outs to go.

205 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:34 pm

nice job lasagna!

206 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:34 pm

6 more outs

207 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:34 pm

Nice, Loasiga. Good D by Josh.

208 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:34 pm

Let lasagna start the 8th

209 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:36 pm

[203] Because Cleveland is Rasputin-like and we have a weak bullpen.

210 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:37 pm

[203] Same thing here. I actually looked at the score after Carpenter and Torres left the runners on and said to myself, “Oh, that’s right — we’re up by four.”

211 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:37 pm

Really would like a couple more runs!!!

212 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:37 pm

[208] Interesting idea. Let's get some insurance.

213 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:39 pm

That swing from Judge is such a good sign.

214 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:40 pm

[213] great point. That is the good judge swing.

215 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:41 pm

Smart play. Surprised it doesn't happen more often.

216 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:42 pm

Dammit! Hit it in the screws!

217 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:42 pm

I can’t believe that ball from Stanton got all the way to the outfield. That’s a strong man.

218 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:43 pm

Bringing in their stud. That is what I would do if I were them.

219 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:44 pm

[215]. You could catch someone peeling off for the dugout.

220 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:46 pm

Interesting.
Clase for 7 outs, is that their idea? (More likely 4, but they're hoping 7.)

221 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:48 pm

All right, Team, buckle up…

222 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:52 pm

Lock him up!

223 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:56 pm

Ok, supper, clean up, and the terrorists post supper walk did not have the desired result.

224 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:56 pm

Three more outs now.

225 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:57 pm

Costas, of all people, doesn’t know the Yankees won the 2009 World Series?

226 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:57 pm

Nice.
Man, he's so good. Then he kinda loses the zone... but this time it worked out.

227 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:57 pm

Peralta for the ninth?

228 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:57 pm

Great call by Boonie to bring in Sherlock against the heart of their order

229 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:57 pm

We won the 2009 World Series Bob.

230 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:57 pm

Did Costas just say the Yankees haven't won the World Serious since their 3 peat?

231 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:57 pm

[225] Well, give him a break, he has other things on his mind.

232 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:58 pm

Fabulous performance, Holmes!
I felt dread after his first pitch but he recovered.

Wandy in the ninth, I presume?

233 mhoward120   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:58 pm

What's up with Costas? He just said that the Yanks haven't won the WS since 2000. I wonder if he'll correct himself.

234 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 5:58 pm

Costas just said the Yankees did not win the World Series in 2009. Dude....
Get Hideki on the blower.

235 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:00 pm

Ahem.
Everyone is required to read Hank Waddles' comments. Blog rule.

236 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:00 pm

[234] And now he’s apologizing profusely.

237 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:01 pm

Oswaldo has had some rough at bats lately. And to give up on that one. Yeesh.

238 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:03 pm

Looks like we’ll win and in happy!
But the Astros… :(

239 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:06 pm

I really don’t get why anyone who would be booing there. The number nine hitter is on, top of the lineup coming. This is a good thing.

240 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:07 pm

Here we go…

241 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:08 pm

3 more

242 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:08 pm

Let's go!

243 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:11 pm

Look at Gerrit Cole warming up!!!

244 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:12 pm

One down

245 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:13 pm

If we survive Peralta better get tomorrow off.

246 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:13 pm

That Chuckie doll is hilarious.

247 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:14 pm

Uh oh

248 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:14 pm

It just wouldn’t feel right if the Guardians didn’t get a dribbler here in the ninth.

249 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:16 pm

Two down

250 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:16 pm

One more

251 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:16 pm

Yeah!

252 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:16 pm

FINISH THEM!

253 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:17 pm

I say Wandy starts tomorrow night.

254 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:17 pm

LET'S GO!!!!!!

255 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:18 pm

Ugh

256 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:18 pm

Nothing's easy.

257 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:19 pm

Three!

258 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:19 pm

Yes!!!!!!!

259 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:19 pm

HELL YES!

Magic Wandy!

ASTROS BEWARE, THE YANKS ARE COMING!

260 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:19 pm

YES!
Beautiful.

261 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:20 pm

Love Gleybar for that!

262 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:20 pm

Torres rocked the baby. Love. It.

263 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:20 pm

Ok, now let’s go beat up them ‘Stros tomorrow!!

264 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:21 pm

Gleyber rocking the baby on the last out. Love it.

265 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:21 pm

Cheers, y'all. Bring on the cheaters.

266 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:23 pm

Man, these Houston games are gonna be the death of me.

267 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:25 pm

[266] I was thinking the same. These games were tense, but this next series will make the LDS feel like preseason games.

268 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:25 pm

That was amazing!

269 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:41 pm

I’m afraid of Houston.

270 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:44 pm

Houston is the best team remaining. By a lot. On paper they should cream the Yanks. But one never knows. Go down there, steal one of the first two games, and see what happens.

The Gleyber move on the last out—not quite Yankee-like. Why reduce yourself? Nothing worse than a sore winner. I suppose the kid asked for it, but leave it to the fans to heckle him. Ah, I'm a grumpy old man and Gleyber was just trying to have fun.

Regardless, wonderful, virtually stress free win in a deciding game. Fucking fabulous.

271 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 18, 2022 6:58 pm

It does feel like David vs. Goliath. I wouldn't be surprised it Houston dominates, but I am hoping the Yanks play their best ball. The Astros certainly won't be hitting the ball weakly everywhere.

It was pretty bush league of Naylor, but it came back to bite him. Should have watched his teammate, Kwan.

272 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2022 7:00 pm

Remember the Dodgers got bounced as did the Braves and Mets, so anything can happen.

273 RIYank   ~  Oct 18, 2022 7:44 pm

[272] That's what I was gonna say.
(Also John Sterling was going to scold you guys.)

274 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2022 7:47 pm

WAHOO!!! See ya tomorrow!!!

275 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2022 9:36 pm

Seeing Hicks injury is season ending. Not the way I'd want him to go out even if I was frustrated with him.
