Generous hit call. Nevermind, error.

2 rbj   ~  May 31, 2014 12:11 pm

Geez, wake up guys.

3 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2014 12:14 pm

Interesting -- the GameDay locations of the two pitches in the dirt to Escobar have the pitches right in the middle of the strike zone. Must be partly because they have a lot of down break, but still, disturbingly buggy technology.

4 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2014 12:15 pm

Dammit.

5 rbj   ~  May 31, 2014 12:23 pm

Nice, Derek.

6 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 31, 2014 12:23 pm

Atta boy, Captain!

7 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 31, 2014 12:30 pm

Bases loaded. No out. It would be best to not screw this up.

8 Alex Belth   ~  May 31, 2014 12:35 pm

Jesus this pitcher is brutal.

9 Alex Belth   ~  May 31, 2014 12:35 pm

What a fucking pile of horseshit that was.

10 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 31, 2014 12:35 pm

Well that was predictable. Fucking Bollocks.

11 rbj   ~  May 31, 2014 12:35 pm

Of course

12 MSM35   ~  May 31, 2014 12:58 pm

Is there something about Irish guys that requires them to hit into DP's?

13 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2014 1:03 pm

Here we go again.
No hits, no walks, and they're gonna score. Mebbe two.

14 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2014 1:05 pm

Boy, does this team suck at defense ...

15 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2014 1:07 pm

Tanaka-san!

16 MSM35   ~  May 31, 2014 1:11 pm

This roster is a mess. Johnson, Roberts, Sori, Ichiro and Jeter are not going to get any better. If they weren't making serious money all but the captain would be gone. Emergency signings never turn out well.

17 rbj   ~  May 31, 2014 1:12 pm

two for two for Cap'n

18 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2014 1:17 pm

[16] Hm, Ichiro is fine, actually. Roberts started off terrible but has been good in May.

19 MSM35   ~  May 31, 2014 1:23 pm

Ichiro has 4 rbi's. Johnson is hitting .248. and not fielding very well. We have a low standard.

20 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2014 1:25 pm

OTOH, the money on Tanaka sure has been well spent, he's just a joy to watch ...

21 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2014 1:27 pm

[19] But he gets on base at a good clip. Ichiro. Johnson sucks, I'll give you that. (I was talking about Roberts.)

22 RIYank   ~  May 31, 2014 1:28 pm

Ichiro's OBP is .387. That's excellent.

23 seamus   ~  May 31, 2014 1:31 pm

I really want to say that I really enjoy watching Tanaka pitch. It's a true joy.

Our offense needs to undo the horrible though.

24 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2014 1:35 pm

Sorry ass Sori ... ugh.

25 rbj   ~  May 31, 2014 1:36 pm

Pipp Jervis!

26 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2014 1:37 pm

PORT JERVIS LOVES HOME COOKING!!!

27 seamus   ~  May 31, 2014 1:38 pm

Now that's a nice way to avoid the double play!

28 rbj   ~  May 31, 2014 1:50 pm

Damn, Cap'n justmissedit.

29 seamus   ~  May 31, 2014 2:00 pm

Tanaka does seem to have gotten a little wild. Maybe Kay is right and the rain is factoring in.

30 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2014 2:00 pm

That's more like it!

31 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2014 2:01 pm

Tesh to Megan's Law to Tanaka-san!

32 seamus   ~  May 31, 2014 2:01 pm

ooh that's close at first.

33 rbj   ~  May 31, 2014 2:04 pm

Ruh roh, Mark's out of the game.

34 seamus   ~  May 31, 2014 2:04 pm

oh nos. hope teix is ok.

35 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2014 2:07 pm

Bad news for the Loaf Pincher ...

36 seamus   ~  May 31, 2014 2:07 pm

our hitters know that these pitchers suck right?

37 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2014 2:10 pm

Thanks for missing that Sorry!

38 seamus   ~  May 31, 2014 2:13 pm

damn it. nice hit, bad decision to run.

39 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2014 2:13 pm

JESUS JUMPING CHRIST ON A TEENY TINY POGO STICK ... CAN WE PLEASE STOP FUCKING OURSELVES ON HITS TO RIGHT FIELD!?!?!?!?!?!?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.

40 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2014 2:14 pm

Seriously, that's THREE times in a game and a half.

FUCK!

41 seamus   ~  May 31, 2014 2:20 pm

42 seamus   ~  May 31, 2014 2:21 pm

43 rbj   ~  May 31, 2014 2:21 pm

44 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2014 2:21 pm

Oh Masahiro, you tanaka-me out!

45 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2014 2:44 pm

46 rbj   ~  May 31, 2014 2:47 pm

47 rbj   ~  May 31, 2014 2:50 pm

48 cult of basebaal   ~  May 31, 2014 2:54 pm

Bah, tarp time.

49 MSM35   ~  May 31, 2014 2:59 pm

Not raining in Westchester.

50 rbj   ~  May 31, 2014 3:24 pm

And we're back.

51 rbj   ~  May 31, 2014 3:30 pm

Insurance!

52 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 31, 2014 3:30 pm

Perfect! We'll take it!
