No Time to Slide

beater

David Price is all that stands in the way of the start of a new winning streak. Oh, and a bunch of OK hitters too. And Verlander tomorrow.

Never mind the funny stuff:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Sutcliff & what's his face? I'm going with the Tigers broadcasters.

2 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 6:17 pm

Good steal, me.

3 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 6:24 pm

Green better be getting those calls too, blue.

4 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 6:38 pm

When the Tigers announced their Price, the Yanks put up the Greene!

5 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 6:46 pm

2 on, no out ... how will the Yankees fail to score this time?

6 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 6:47 pm

[5] NO PLAYS.

7 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 6:48 pm

Oh, good, he's not slow. I was a little worried that the ankle thing would slow him down.

8 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 6:50 pm

[5] Like that.

It was probably the most likely of the various methods.

9 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 6:50 pm

[5] Ah, good old inning-ending double play ...

10 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 27, 2014 6:50 pm

That sucks.

11 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 6:52 pm

At least we're driving up Price's pitch count.

12 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:01 pm

[11] No thanks to Jacoby. Swinging on the first pitch! Loser.

13 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:02 pm

Hah!
Picked off and... safe.

14 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:02 pm

[12] I have redemption!

15 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:02 pm

NO PLAYS!

16 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:03 pm

No bunting in the third inning!

17 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:04 pm

Yay!

Way to go, way to go!

NO PLAYS = good things happen.

18 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:04 pm

See Derek

19 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:07 pm

Excellent. Let's get Jeter in, please.

20 coleman42   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:08 pm

Price having trouble locating

21 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:09 pm

Young Pradowan!

22 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:09 pm

Yay, Mark!

23 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:09 pm

More optimal.

24 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:09 pm

MOAR RUNZ!!!

25 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:09 pm

Fair ball!
Excellent, excellent. Maybe this will burn NO PLAYS into Joe's brain.

26 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:10 pm

Holy cow.
I thought Torii would catch it. I guess Tex did too.

27 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:11 pm

Not especially optimal base running from Tesh.

28 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:12 pm

Wooooo.

Yeah, something is badly wrong with Price.

29 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:12 pm

Score Van in da hizzy!

30 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:13 pm

[27] But, it doesn't matter.

NO PLAYS shall make ye free.

31 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:13 pm

I certainly approve of this

32 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:14 pm

C'mon, Hedy!

33 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:14 pm

Seven hits in a row!

34 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:15 pm

Eight!!!!!!

35 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:15 pm

[32] That's HEADLEY!

36 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:15 pm

This is amazing.

Can't predict baseball.

37 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:16 pm

Hot diggity, even slow rounders are hits.

38 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:16 pm

This is what California used to do to us.

39 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:16 pm

Ya' just can't predict.....

40 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:16 pm

SWEEP THE LEG, FRANKIE!

41 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:16 pm

Didn't they get like seven in a row or something in like 2002? Off of Wells, maybe?

42 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:16 pm

[36] Damn you! ; )

43 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:17 pm

This is absolutely incredible.

ALL NINE GUYS!

44 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:18 pm

Nine in a row! Everyone gets a hit in the third!

45 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:19 pm

Well, sure didn't see this inning coming ...

46 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:20 pm

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!

47 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:22 pm

Boo, I made an out

48 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:22 pm

Wait, I forget, what is this type of play? I mean, why does Ellsbury have to go back to the dugout? What's that called?

49 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:22 pm

Another productive at bat.

50 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:23 pm

Booooooooo, Jacoby, booooooooooo!

51 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:25 pm

Two straight outs. Very demoralizing.

52 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:25 pm

Score Truck, y'all!!!

53 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:25 pm

Why is Derek going the same thing as Ellsbury?

Now I want double digits.

54 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:28 pm

Inning of the year!

55 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:28 pm

Nice inning.

56 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:28 pm

Damn. That was a big score truck. Eighteen wheeler. Monster truck.

57 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:29 pm

[55] No home runs, right?

58 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:29 pm

Alright Greeney, shut 'em down.

59 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:31 pm

They're already in the sixth inning in Toronto.

60 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:32 pm

Phew

61 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:32 pm

And the Sox are rallying. Bases loaded, one in, one out.

62 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:34 pm

Two in (WP).
Can't believe I'm rooting for the Red Sox.

63 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:35 pm

Good job, rook!

64 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:37 pm

Cokey!

65 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:39 pm

[64] +1
Beat me to it!

66 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:50 pm

Boooooooo.

No no-no for Shane.

67 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:51 pm

And no shut-out.

68 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:51 pm

Tigers are stealing our hits. And runs.

69 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:51 pm

C'mon rook, knuckle down.

70 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:55 pm

Hey, look: NO DEFENSIVE PLAYS EITHER!

71 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:56 pm

And NO DEFENSIVE PLAYS succeeds!

72 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 7:56 pm

Nice pick, Tesh!

73 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:02 pm

My son and I skipped around the room. 9 straight hits? Fun fun fun, and no daddy needed.

And Green survived a potential tough inning. No matter how tough you are, you can't be a Mean Shane Green.

74 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:05 pm

Damn, the Red Sox are threatening to give away their lead. Jays in the corners with nobody out.

And indeed, Valencia homers. 4-2 Jays.

75 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:13 pm

Ouch, Frankie!

76 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:13 pm

Oh, jeez.
The injury magnet strikes draws another one.

77 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:13 pm

Oooh. Right in the Cervelli.

78 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:14 pm

Oh ... boy ... that hurt.

79 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:14 pm

[77] Right in Frankie's brains ...

80 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:15 pm

Get your one hour full body massage, only $29.95!
Let's chip in and get one for Cervelli. He could use a rub right now.

81 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:15 pm

[79] He's a guy, so . . .

82 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:18 pm

[80] for those not watching on television, there is a tacky ad right behind the plate taunting this service.

83 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:22 pm

I think it's great that there's a pitcher named "Drew Smyly".

It's like you asked your kindergartener what he did in school.

84 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:24 pm

Hey, one of them whatchamacallit a hit!

85 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:31 pm

Rick Sutcliffe ... still an imbecile.

86 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:33 pm

Cabrera looks awful trying to run ...

87 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:34 pm

Whoa. V-Bomb.

88 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:34 pm

Solo shot ... limits the damage.

89 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:41 pm

[86] bum ankle. Tigers aren't healthy this year.

90 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:50 pm

Terrible error. Bleh.

91 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:52 pm

[83] : )

92 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:52 pm

Phil Hughes has a 2-hit shutout going through seven. Against KC, so that's good.

93 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:57 pm

[57] Right!

94 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 27, 2014 8:58 pm

It's easy being Greene.

95 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 9:12 pm

Hughesy loses his shutout, and then his lead, in the eighth inning. Just a bunch of singles, though -- not the Hughes Special.

96 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 9:18 pm

The walk pisses me off more than the triple.

97 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 27, 2014 9:21 pm

Ayuh.

98 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 9:31 pm

Much as I enjoy watching Dellin, this is just dumb.

99 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 27, 2014 9:38 pm

Ugh. C'mon, close it out.

100 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 9:38 pm

Perfect.
So now Betances is burned, his ERA takes a shot, and all for no reason whatsoever.

Duncin' Betances?

102 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 27, 2014 9:39 pm

Perfect night. Pick up a game on all the bad guys.

103 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2014 9:39 pm

Okay.
Happy with the W.

104 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2014 11:51 pm
