It was the best story of a bleak season in the Bronx. Sure, Aaron Judge is still one of the best players on the planet, and yes, Domingo Germán pitched a perfect game, but nothing really compared to the jolt of excitement provided by Jasson Domínguez’s promotion to the major league level.
After four years of marinating in the minor leagues, Domínguez arrived last week with a literal bang, launching a home run with his first major league swing, victimizing future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander. Proving that wasn’t a fluke, he hit three more home runs after that and peppered line drives around the field, all with the hint of a smile that seemed to tell the world that he knew he belonged.
While it didn’t erase the pain of 2023, it suddenly reshaped my outlook for 2024. This eight-game stretch didn’t convince me that Domínguez would produce a full season with an OPS over 1.000, but I knew he would be good enough to play 150 games in centerfield, and I’d be lying if I didn’t admit imagining him producing numbers reminiscent of Ronald Acúña’s. I went from thinking that the Yankees would be wandering in the wilderness for a few years to believing they could be great again next season, and all because of the tantalizing talent of one twenty-year-old kid.
This is the beauty of baseball, a game that traffics in hope and dreams unlike any of our other sports. While one team’s fans are celebrating their heroes who have just won the World Series, the rest of us are dreaming on the potential of youngsters who might grow up to be legends. I once spun those dreams around a kid named Rubén Rivera only to watch them disappear like smoke, but a few years later the dream was about a kid named Derek Jeter and everything worked out. The thing you have to remember about baseball is this — you never know.
And so when I heard the news about Jasson Domínguez and his torn UCL, I was devastated.
My first selfish response was to mourn what was lost. Suddenly the rest of this season became nothing more than a series of meaningless games, and the hope I held for 2024 was diminished. (Not dashed, only diminished.)
But more than all of that, there was pain for Domínguez. Something else inherent to baseball is the joy that comes with watching a young player’s success, whether it’s headline material like Domínguez’s brilliant start or even just a ground ball up the middle for a marginal prospect’s first major league hit. As we watch from the stands or from our seat on the couch, we imagine our own childhood dreams coming true, and even the grizzled veterans in the dugout are taken back to their own debuts. Never are smiles more genuine, never are cheers more uplifting.
For a week and a day, Jasson Domínguez was walking in a dream world. Late last week reporter Meredith Marakovits asked Domínguez a simple question: “What’s the best part of being in the majors?” and his response was even simpler: “Being in the majors.”
For the next six to eight months, he won’t be. He’s only twenty years old and he still could have a brilliant career in front of him, but we’ll have to wait a while to see it. And that’s a shame.
Now Peraza is day-to-day with knee discomfort!
And Aaron Rogers is basically out for the season (whispers at 39, career ending?)
How very, very Jets
Johnny Lasagna back on the IL ... done for the year.
I'm not sure if this is a pitchers duel or a lack of hitters duel ...
9Ks in 4 innings for Bronx Breeze Makers.
20 strikeout game?
Not sure we'll ever see one of those again, what with pitch counts ... maybe a 20K by committee game.
#10
Halfway there.
Damn ... was hoping for at least one more K in that inning.
Arum!
The Machine!
A lead
Gleyber!
Should have known Pavetta was cooked when he only Kd one in the 5th.
Oh no, Holmes.
Uh ... "exciting" Holmes is not what I was hoping for.
[17] Look ... he's "THE CLOSER" ... so even if he hasn't pitched in like a week ... in he goes!
Phew, a win.
YAY!
See you in a couple of hours, RBJ!
See ya, Cult. I now know howTigerFans felt with Todd Jones as their closer.
Aaron Judge ... 2023:
Prior to the bullpen gate:
.291 / .404 / .674 ... 1.078
After coming back from the bullpen gate:
.222 / .382 / .504 ... .886
GOTTA LOVE Yankees injury decision making!
Kutter?
I dislike this rat-faced fucker already.
Why is Wells batting 4th?
Well of course. Strikeout and double play.
Why was that pathetic failure to score a single run COMPLETELY predictable as soon as they didn't send Florial?
As is that home run
When the total bases are more than the total pitches, this is a problem. No need for a catcher at this point.
What is it ... 5 more years of this crap from Rodon ... or only 4?
Hear, hear,Hank!
Thanks for the fresh thread. I completely forgot the Yankees played this afternoon. At least I got to see the immediate bases loaded, no out failure and the 1st inning artistry of Rodon.
I bet he’s injured.
What works better?
Kei Rodon ... or Carlos Igawa?
Rodon pitching at Fenway wearing an ‘NYPD’ cap..?? This game was not meant for me, think I’ll put on Braves-Phillies in the bag ground this morning..
So sad about The Martian!!!!!
I’ll take the latter.
[32] How is that any different than how he's been since he arrived?
[35] I dunno ... Kei Rodon sounds like a monster in a Godzilla movie.
Well ... at this rate Carlos Igawa's on pace for 3 innings pitched and 9 strikeouts!
[38] and three homers
I'd be happy with only 3 runs.
Damn ... only 5 Ks through 2
Up to 8 now.
8 Ks!
Only off by 1!
What, no new strikeouts?
Tied!
1-1!
Outside the running lane.
How will we waste THIS bases loaded no out situation?
I'm going K, force out at home ... pop out.
Well ... I'm not sure that's impressive, but it's a run!
This fucking team.
LOL
Finally, walking the terrorists worked.
The Zach McAllister reunion tour ... why am I not excited?
Gleyber looked like he never freaking played catch in his life.
Well ... good for Zach.
This team is the graveyard of RiSP ...
Yup.
Really?
Boy ... what a GREAT send.
Jebus, this team, this staff, this WHOLE organization.
I guess when there are 2 outs you should risk getting thrown out by 15 feet.
I notice they haven't replayed that last play yet ... let's see if they do.
Nope .... it's like the stoopid never happened.
Maybe some insurance?
There you go!
Thank you
GOOD CALL BOONE-Y!
I'll take 'em anyway we can get them!
Your 2023 Yankees.
Everyone has to start thinking of their end-of-the-year "I NEVER" list ... RIGHT now.
As in "I NEVER WANT TO SEE THIS PLAYER IN PINSTRIPES AGAIN!"
Jake Bauers?
Is on that list.
Longest 9 inning game of they year?
YAY!
Sweep ... for a day!
Word. Cheers y'all.
Finally, night all.
Excellent, provocative article on PEDs revelations, on ESPN.com
"He (Manny Ramirez) basically said, 'Listen, I can't pick up a bat,'" Bosch told ESPN. '''Every time I pick up a bat it feels like it is 50 pounds.' He said, 'Don't get me wrong, I can still hit the s--- out of the ball. ... I feel like s---. I feel tired all the time.'"
Melky Cabrera also made the bad boy list.
[75] And more on ARod spilling the beans.
Rain delay.
Good thing they've got a game tomorrow ... otherwise, we might be waiting here all night.
Yeah, I'm going with another DH tomorrow.
Sounds good. Tomorrow is a scheduled night game then off to Pittsburgh anyway, so no impact on travel.
A day night doubleheader would be good ... all I have planned for tomorrow during the day is making pasta alla Genovese ... perfect for afternoon basebaal.
Postponed ... 2 tomorrow!
Yay!
“doubleheader tomorrow, Thursday, September 14, beginning at 1:35 p.m. Tickets for tonight’s game will be good for admission to the rescheduled contest. Tomorrow’s regularly scheduled game remains at 7:15 p.m.
Tomorrow’s rescheduled game will be televised on NESN and MLB Network, while the regularly scheduled game will be televised on FOX.”
I have one load of laundry tomorrow. Though the bathroom is starting to give me the stink eye. Plus the terrorists need to go to the park in the morning.
Ugh ... FOX game?
WTF???
Ugh, the NESN broadcast.
Aaron Judge now "up" to .211 .374 .479 .853 since returning from his foot injury.
Oh, tonight is on the big Fox, a broadcast game of two teams trying to avoid last place.
Sure Boone-y, it's NOT the toe.
Sigh, bad baserunning
What in the Hell was Gleyber doing?
Completely and utterly a) pathetic and b) predictable.
This team continues to amaze at with its terrible, no good, awful baserunning mistakes.
Maybe, at some point, they might think of addressing that.
Ruh roh.
Ok, phew
This team could be genuinely painful to watch at the plate next year.
I'm not sure how to fix the fact that most everyone can't hit.
Pathetic
Sad trombone.
And ballgame
Game ... who is up for another round in 2 1/2 hours????
Well I’ve already had my wisdom teeth pulled so I guess I will.
Did they give you happy goofballs?
Loritab, which a cheap knockoff opiate. Made me sick, so I went with aspirin.
Are you sure it was the Loritab that made you ill ... or was it watching the Yankees in game 1?
Ah ... FOX broadcast ... at least I can watch it.
Oh fer fuck’s sake I get the Orioles Rays game on the big screen. Good thing MLBTV gets me the Yankees game on my phone.
[104] this was 20+ years ago.
Oy.
[107] Oh, I thought it was today!
LOL!
Well, that's the game.
Yup. Doubleheader shutout?
Ugh ... just had to mute the FOX morans.
[111] Nah ... I feel at least ONE run in this game.
I really want Peraza to have a scorching hot streak to end the year ... light a fire under Volpe's ass.
Jesus wept.
This team might as well just hit solo shots ... because putting runners on is where innings go to die.
Oooooh, safe!
Safe! There’s the run.
My apologies!
And there's my run!
SALAMI TIME!
And four more! All rise!
Heh ... Yankees batted around ... I did NOT have that on tonight's Bingo Card.
Higgy!
Unlucky not to get a HR
I could go for more Yankee runs.
Rookie of the year?
Oh, DJ! WTF!?
I'd settle for not giving up more Red Sox runs ...
[125] Huh?
[128] Do you mean Volpe?
Thanks for almost loafing that throw into a baserunner, Gleyber.
This is the first time I've ever watched spring trading games in mid-Sept
Yes, Cult. Volpe. I can't see numbered comments on my android. I know he drives you nuts.
ZAC MAC ATTACK!
[132] Because he's not that .... good?
He doesn't even make this list.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/top-five-american-league-rookie-of-the-year-candidates/ar-AA1gidpH
Gunnar Henderson, for example, is CLEARLY much better.
Volpe .209 avg. 20 hr. 58 rbi. 101 hits
Henderson .259 avg. 25 hr. 75 rbi. 128 hits.
Give the kid a break.
FWIW it's worth I was using Rookie of the year as a perjorative. I don't think he should be Rookie of the year but I don't have any clue about any other rookies.
[135] Volpe 84 OPS+ 3.2 WAR
Henderson 127 OPS+ 5.4 WAR
Tie game
Ugh
DJ!
LeMachine, untied!
Fucking bollocks!
Oh no, Holmes for the save.
Knee shot ... ouch.
Knowing 2023 ... it'll probably be diagnosed overnight as a shattered kneecap.
[114] THERE WE GO, BABY!
HELL YEAH!
Yes, insurance!
[137]I read an article today that Mike Trout got cut from the 18U U.S. National team tryouts. Time will tell with the tale of the 2 players were talking about. Cheers.
Uh oh.
[148] Didn’t Michael Jordan get cut from his high school basketball team?
3 out of 4 will do.
Later, Beantowners!
Yes, now to walk the terrorists in the morning.
See you all tomorrow for Pittsburgh!
Good win. Huzzah!
[150} Yes. That's pretty well detailed.
Hopefully, tonight's broadcast will go smoother than last night's.
The FOX broadcast kept stuttering and hanging and restarting.
Might even pop by WFAN for a listen at some point this weekend ...
The Yankees youth movement has now extended to WFAN’s radio booth.
Emmanuel Berbari, who turned 24 in July, will join 36-year old Justin Shackil for this weekend’s series in Pittsburgh.
The legendary tandem of John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman will take the trip off.
"legendary tandem" will take the trip off ... heh.
That's like saying the "legendary tandem" of cholera and dysentery will take the trip off ... beriberi and rickets will be covering them!
It is an AMAZINGLY gorgeous night in Pittsburgh.
Staggering.
Uh oh.
No es bueno.
Didn’t realize it was an early start.
Not good.
Could have been worse, I suppose. What is 21 doing in right field? Is it 2000 again?
Ok, phew,
[163] Roberto Clemente night.
RISP hit. Don’t these rookies know that isn’t The Yankee Way?
Seems DJ was happy to remind them.
Tonight does NOT seem like GOOD COLE.
Nope.
Who is Kay paired with tonight?
Bases loaded 1 out ... it's the witching hour for this offense to strangle runs in the crib.
There's MY VOLPE!
Yeesh
Annnnnnnd ... that's that.
Hmmm, get that Pirates pitcher out of there or else it’s going to be a long night.
Cole might ... MIGHT make it through 5.
That helps
DJ!
2-2
Now even DJ is getting infected with RISP hitting.
Judge too.
3-2!!!
YEESH!
Crap.
Yeeowch!
Well, he seems OK ... rough, tough break for the guy.
GlEybEr TorrEs!
FranK
Time to atone, GlEybEr!
Uh oh ... bases loaded ... nobody out ... Stanton up ... I think the Pirates have us just where they want us.
There's one.
HOLY CRAP THAT CALL WAS AWFUL
I'll take that!
Volpe with the GiDP for the LEAD!!!
Hot diggity!
In for the 9th. What's up,gang. I genuinely feel bad for the Buccos.
It's manos de barro time, everyone!
[195] Not over yet.
Good win!
See ya tomorrow!
Phew, not an easy win.
Pirates “city connect” uniforms aren’t bad. I still think it’s a dumb idea.
They aren't the worst, but I wouldn't say they were ... good.
'Stache!
These kids, disrespecting The Yankee Way by getting RISP hits.
[203] Volpe knows the way.
I'll take 3!
Sigh, and give up 2
Wait ... we're starting a WEAVER???
Didn't we learn our lessons with Weavers in the past???
Out of hospital, good. I’d send him home until pitchers and catchers.
Ah, solo homer, that’s more like it.
I’ll take that wild pitch.
I’ll take that homer, the kids are starting to learn The Yankee Way.
Uh oh, Holmes. I want Mo back, can we clone him?
Well phew, a no angina ninth.
I anticipate a rain delay in this game.
Hopefully, that was the only one.
Can we have some offense?
There it is!
And if you blinked you missed it.
Tied!!
Untied
At least Kei Rodon has been more Rodon since I besmirched him with the moniker.
417 feet ... for a double.
Old Skool park.
I did get a decent nap in
Wells should have had his first HR, but nope!
Damn ... should have found this BEFORE today's game
https://twitter.com/nyyserena/status/1702526298420281488
Pleasant thoughts to ponder (from the Pinstripe Alley game recap):
I also am beginning to be completely convinced that Giancarlo Stanton is cooked, in a very 2022-23 Josh Donaldson way. As he continues to wade through the worst season of him MLB career, he’s begun to look overmatched time and again, occasionally running into a mistake but otherwise flailing even more than when he would in his cold streaks. Yes, David Bednar is a great closer, but if you’re going to be batting cleanup you need to have more of a plan than Stanton seemed to take leading off the ninth inning.
Evening ... lets hope to be spoilers tonight!
Obligatory homer.
Well, poop.
1-0 ... already.
Hah, tied.
1-1!!!
Blergh.
Blergh - 1
Well crap.
Hey OK Jazz ... if you stumble across this post ... check out this guy!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0lPeQA2hu4
I don't know what to tell Stanton to do this offseason, but if 2024 is a repeat of 2023?
He's a man living on borrowed time as a Yankee.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
This game is brutal.
Maybe Boone will finally lose his cool after that lousy strike call.
It's almost like this Yankees team ... can't hit for shit.
They really showed up for the "playoff-like" atmosphere. Adios wild card hopes.
[241] Gotta love ya, Ara ... your "wild card hopes" show more resurrective resilience than all the horror movie villains ... ever ... combined.
You're like Freddy snorted the dried remains of Jason whilst freebasing pure liquid Michael Myers!!!
DEAD?
Nope ... still alive!
NOW ARE U DEAD??
Nope ... back again!!
ARE U FINALLY DEAD???
GUESS WHO ... I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET ... KAY, PAULIE AND CONEY BOOTH!!!
Evening, all.
I love a good horror movie but I won't miss this season, cult. ; )
Good start for King
[245] You should LOVE the horror show behind the plate tonight ... yeesh.
Well, there goes Boone-y
Yeah, I’d get tossed too.
Bloody Hell.
BLOODY HELL!!!
Sigh.
At least it wasn't a DP.
Thanks a bunch, FranK!
My new nicKname ... VolKe
Pretty damn great job by King
How about some runs
Are those even legal?
Yanks waste amazing start by rookie.
News at 11.
They are definitely an endangered species.
If you can't throw fucking strikes or pitches near this fucking ump's zone you are terrible. Just fucking terrible.
Sigh, high strikes tonight.
Bauers!
Holy BeJebus ... somehow I contrived to miss everything but the last 15 seconds of Screamin' A. Smith.
Thank you, baby Jebus.
Shut up, Kay, way too early.
That the Yankees are going to win the World Series???
I know ... I know ...
blargh
[265] 15 up
[265] Just remember, my friend ... that you and I are far too ugly to be butterflies ... so feel free to flap your wing wings without fear of repercussion!
All I know is that I put this song on last inning ... and so, I will play it over and over and over until Cole reaches Valhalla or dies trying!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W97uFS2aphA
Poop.
See, Kay, too early.
Should have got strike 1 called, but that deserved to get smacked into the gap.
Darn.
I was getting excited.
[273] Why?
It's not like there's much ELSE to get excited about for the rest of the season, sheesh.
You just can’t mention it
“ mentioning that a Yankee pitcher has a no-hitter or perfect game in progress”
Per Banter rules. Maybe after the 7th.
Hi all. Was browsing the intertubes and came across Donny Baseball's thoughts on the Yankees. I thought it was an interesting read, especially about the differences of the generations of players. Cheers.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nj.com/yankees/2023/09/what-yankees-legend-don-mattingly-thinks-of-the-mess-in-the-bronx-klapisch.html%3foutputType=amp
[277] Eh, shrug whatever ... now I'mma start mentioning starting in the 4th.
I hate superstitions and the superstitious.
Insurance
[278] Thanks. I’d like Donnie to finally get his ring with the Yankees.
I feel bad for Big Ben ... but he really shouldn't be getting plate appearances at this point in the season.
Play the 'stache 100%
Tonight is just typical Yankees lack of thought.
"But hasn’t the wild card dulled the Yankees’ warrior ethos, I wondered? And it’s not just Boone and his players, it’s a generation that’s easing off the throttle. There’s a feeling that losing, while obviously not desirable, isn’t catastrophic, either."
I read pathetic pablum like that?
And I'd like to introduce Klapisch (who knows NOTHING of which he blathers) to a wood chipper.
Slowly. Feet first.
Good sweet Jebus I despise ignorant writer "narrative", yet we sure do get PLENTY of it.
Blech.
Poop.
That run's on Cole.
Great job, Gerrit!
Even IF rbj ruined it for you!
That's MY new superstition ... it's not the people who mention the no-hitter or perfect game that jinx them ... it's the people who call out the people who mention the no-hitter or perfect game that jinx them.
So ... rbj ... you have been warned.
How many more WILL you jinx?
VolKe!
I was out walking the terrorists.
Good at bat from Florial
[289] An EASY out ... blame the "terrorists" ...
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!
So much for tack-on runs.
Ah, yes, a non-save Johnny Wad Holmes experience ... I'm sure it will go ... swell.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.
He's safe.
Sorry.
CUE the circus music!!!
Ugly ... but I'll take it.
Yay, phew.
My call for the weekend:
Tonight gets played
Tomorrow gets called ... early
Sunday Day - Night DH
[283] I don't think Klapisch is entirely without a point about the NHL-ization of MLB. In my lifetime we've gone from two teams "get in" to almost half the teams get in. It's only human nature for that to sow an attitude of "eh, good enough is good enough."
I do fault Klapisch for trying to inject his opinion into a column about Mattingly's views. Bad reporting.
[301] It's true, to some extent, I'd prefer fewer wild cards, but in the end, it comes down to win or go home, still.
It's just the attitude as expressed by Klapisch just reeked of "P#### kids these days. Back when men were men, you'd turn your toothbrush into a shiv and stab your opponents' mother in an alleyway to win a game! They don't know what it takes to win! BAH!!!"
In team news:
Sept. 22: LHP Wandy Peralta placed on 15-day IL; Yoendrys Gómez recalled from Double-A Somerset
Peralta, who has been unavailable since Sept. 15, was placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Sept. 19, with a left triceps strain. To take his place on the roster, the club recalled Gómez, who is the team's No. 26-ranked prospect per MLB Pipeline.
Signed out of Venezuela in 2016, this is the 23-year-old right-hander's first big league callup. In 19 games out of the bullpen for Somerset, he recorded a 3.58 ERA in 19 games, fanning 78 but walking 37.
Welcome Yoendrys!
19 games ... 37 walks ... 78 strikeouts ... I'm a little terrified to find out how many innings he pitched to accumulate those.
Why can't the Yankees find and develop these guys?
In pursuit of their fifth American League East title, the Rays called up Caminero -- baseball’s No. 6 overall prospect according to MLB Pipeline -- from Double-A Montgomery on Friday.
After dominating the High-A level over 36 games for Bowling Green, the right-handed-hitting infielder slashed .309/.373/.548 with 20 homers in 81 games for Montgomery. He is primarily a third baseman, but he has also shown the ability to play shortstop.
Caminero, who just turned 20 on July 5, will be the youngest active player in the Majors upon his official promotion. The Rays acquired him from Cleveland in a November 2021 trade for right-hander Tobias Myers, a relatively low-profile acquisition at the time, considering Caminero had only played 43 professional games in the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League.
Uh ... I thought Luke Weaver was tomorrow's "delight"
Power is out here, gotta conserve my Bluetooth data.
Jeebus, FranK ... that was just pathetic.
ALL RISE!!!
I'm looking forward to cutting Jake Bauers this offseason.
Though that was a BAD throw from VolKe
Huh ... who had Luke Weaver pitches 5 innings of 2 hit shutout ball on the 2023 Yankees Bingo card?
SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YA!
Aaron Judge 5 ... D'backs 0
Aaron Judge 6 ... D'backs 0
I've detected a pattern.
Judge will hit one more dinger, but it will be a zero-run homer.
Why are they not running for Frankenstanton?
ONE MORE BATTER!
(Wouldn't have been close if it wasn't FranK running).
Well .... poop.
There goes the shutout ...
Nice win ... just wanted one more at bat for His Honor.
The MLB record for HRs in consecutive ABs is 4 (I saw Murcer do it!).
It's OK to span games. So if Judge hits a HR in his first AB Saturday afternoon, he ties the record.
Tonight’s game already postponed. Nasty weather on the east coast. Even the terrorists’ long walk cancelled for today.
[300] Was right about the game yesterday, wrong about a DH today.
Might be wrong about a game *today*.
Might be wrong about a game tomorrow as well.
It'll be quite the pickle for MLB if today AND tomorrow are rained out.
The delay is begun.
Ophelia seems to be hanging around.
Thanks, Florial.
Well, they're trying for today, at least.
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Crap, hits the ump.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
O CAB!!!
Sigh.
Bring on our Robot Umpire Overlords ... please?
We could use 2 here, just to make sure we keep playing.
Flo-GO!!!
Please get 1 run ... PLEASE GET 1 RUN!!!
Strewth.
That's 1 chance gone.
That's the other.
SO fucking predictable.
Well, so much for today's game.
Crud
Oops!
Should have done a better rain dance.
Strong wind today.
Ein ... zwei ... VolKe!
Christ, Boone-y ... we're down 6-0 ... how about you give the random rook we just called up a chance to pitch the 9th?
Worried we'll let this one get away from us???
Very strong wind
Good night.
Might see you tomorrow.
Rats
Sorry Ara ... the clock done struck midnight.
The Yankees lost their 77th game of the season on Sunday, falling 7-1 to the Arizona Diamondbacks in a rain-soaked contest in New York. They’re officially eliminated from postseason contention, and as we’ve all anticipated for most of the last six weeks, they’ll be watching the October festivities from home for the first time since 2016.
Last home game of the season.
WHO IS WITH ME????
Well, that was an inauspicious 1st inning.
There are only slightly more people in the stands in the Bronx today than there are posters on Bronx Banter ...
I think Aaron Judge might be the only person capable of hitting one out today.
GiDP ... LOL
I like Florial's at bats ... good thing the Yankees decided to play him over Bauers and McKinney ... after 90% of the season was gone.
AAAARGH ... probably a hit with a dry infield.
Afternoon. Just got back from taking my parents grocery shopping.
[354] WELLS PROVES ME WRONG!
[353] wells says “hold my beer”
He was probably out, but not sure there's enough evidence to overturn.
Nope ... guess there was.
LOOKY WHAT I DONE DID ... a double!
YEAH ... O.P.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!
Retied.
Untied!
Oh, Boone-y ... all the yelling at umpires in the world doesn't change a thing when it comes to your general competency.
IT'S AN AVALANCHE OF RUNS!
Happy last home game!
A win!
Our Tragic Number is SIX!!!!
