"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

I Hope Carlos Beltran Has a Good Game Tonight

littleIt

The Yanks played well in Tampa. Tonight, the Rays come to town for the first time this year.

It’s the Warren Report featuring:

Jacoby Ellsbury CF

Brett Gardner LF

Alex Rodriguez 3B

Mark Teixeira 1B

Brian McCann C

Carlos Beltran DH

Chris Young RF

Stephen Drew 2B

Didi Gregorius SS

Will be watching Didi with special interest–I’m rooting for the guy, I feel for him, especially in the field where he seems all screwed up. I just hope he can ride it out because he should be better than this and he will be better than this. It’s not easy following Jeter, you know?

I know Beltran has sucked but I hope he stops sucking any day now. It’s bound to happen.

Hey, never mind the kvetchin’:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

I share the sentiment. He's no Carl Pavano.

2 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:04 pm

White Sox/Orioles postponed due to riot.

3 Mattpat11   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:09 pm

Those 8 fans behind home plate look thrilled.

4 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:09 pm

It's so lame seeing all those empty seats behind home plate.

Just so sad and lame.

5 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:10 pm

[3] Right?

6 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:10 pm

[2] Ugly situation all around.

7 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:12 pm

NIce fucking play.

Damn, though.

8 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:13 pm

Lucky break.

9 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:13 pm

Lucky break.

10 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:13 pm

[8] Jinx

11 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:18 pm

Yes!

12 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:22 pm

Good Houdini ing by Warren. Let's go offense, By the way, if Maddon was still the manager, YES would have shown him about 37 times by now. Good riddance to the "genius."

13 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:25 pm

Really?

Player of the week?

That's kind of sad, isn't it? Teix is the hottest player in the league right now?

14 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:26 pm

That was low.

15 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:28 pm

Yeah, it was way low.

16 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:29 pm

[12] I just discovered that Mike Matheny is a serious chess player. I mean, literally, not the way Girardi and Maddon used to play. Interesting.

17 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:32 pm

Well how about that?

18 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:34 pm

[2] Christ, that is serious.
Damn. The Bronx is a cozy little suburb, huh?

19 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:36 pm

What are we going to do with Beltran?

20 coleman42   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:41 pm

[19] Carlos must seek advice from Pentland. They won't approach him because of his seniority.

21 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:42 pm

It doesn't look like this game will waste too much of my evening.

22 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:46 pm

Via David Pinto, Brandon McCarthy needs TJ surgery.

23 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:49 pm

McCann could.

24 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:50 pm

Me likey

25 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:51 pm

[2] Yes, the macing and clubbing of newspaper photographers by police is really out of control. Hope the N Guard is sent in to protect the protesters.

26 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:56 pm

Man, Didi.

27 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:57 pm

Attaboy, Jacoby.

28 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:58 pm

[25] Where's the footage of that?

29 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:58 pm

He might have been thrown out anyway had he not tripped.

30 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:59 pm

[26] we're all rooting for him, I know..but man..

Weeping, check out John Angelos's statement last night? Orioles COO (Peter's son)

31 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:59 pm

(Also, thanks for saving Mattpat's kishkes by not just standing there waiting for Brett to homer.)

32 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 6:59 pm

That wasn't a strike.

33 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:00 pm

[28] Chicago Tribune. Train now, will look for a link and send you later if you can't find it.

34 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:01 pm

Wait--everyone seems to be doing it, or at least a lot of guys. This scrubby little mustachio growth. Holy cow. Dude, Gardner looks like a gay stripper. This is could be so bad it's good. If they get A Rod to grow a mustache the Internet will explode.

35 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:02 pm

[33] I was looking at the Tribune videos. Must have looked at the wrong page.

36 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:03 pm

[30] Wow! Damn! That's incredible.

37 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:07 pm

[36] Isn't it? Wonder if Hal&Hank would respond that way.. :)
[35] Saw on Twitter

38 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:10 pm

Warren dispensing some justice this evening.

39 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:16 pm

[38] I won't judge you on that pun.

40 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:18 pm

Pace of play pretty good tonight.

41 coleman42   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:31 pm

Atta boy, Didi

42 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:32 pm

Hey!

I was just thinking, "Well, at least that Drew walk clears Gregorius so we don't have to start the sixth with one out."
Got a break. Now Jacoby has to do something big...

43 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:33 pm

Damn.

Just missed.

44 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:33 pm

Damn, foul.

45 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:33 pm

Argh!
I got excited by a foul ball. Jacoby didn't.

46 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:34 pm

Two on, two out, two balls, two strikes...

47 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:36 pm

Ball four.

Let's go, Brett!

Nice and easy...

48 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:36 pm

Nice AB scrubby mustache Ellsbury. Time to bring 'em home, scrubby mustache Brett.

49 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:36 pm

Well, just a nice line drive and Brett could be the hero.

50 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:37 pm

Up to you, Brett.

51 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:38 pm

[48] Is JoeyJoeJoe growing a 'stache too?

52 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:40 pm

Find a gap, Lil G!

53 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:41 pm

3-1...

54 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:41 pm

3-1 count...
Sit on the fast ball, Gritner!

55 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:41 pm

3-2.
Start the merry-go-round...

56 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:42 pm

Hey!
I'll take it, baby.

57 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:42 pm

I'll take that!

58 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:42 pm

Yay!

Nice ab, Brett!

59 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:42 pm

Three BB and an IF single.

And now... it's money time...

60 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:42 pm

Hit this fucker out, Alex!

61 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:42 pm

Or that.

62 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:43 pm

Nope. No money for you.

63 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:43 pm

It's cause he doesn't have a scrubby mustache.

64 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:43 pm

Dagnabit!

65 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:43 pm

Damn.

Alex in a funk.

That was a lame-ass dribbler.

66 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:43 pm

Shit.

67 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:47 pm

Hm. Warren might be running out of gas here. Big inning for him.

68 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:48 pm

Run roh!

69 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:48 pm

IF in, interesting. Probably right.

70 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:49 pm

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Fuck fuck fuck fuck!

Damn it damn it damn it.

71 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:49 pm

What?

Oh, bad throw. Should get the runner on that kind of grounder.

Dammit.

72 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:49 pm

Fuckit! Damn, did touch, can't challenge.

73 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:50 pm

So the proper strategy backfires. Can't predict baseball.

74 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:50 pm

You fucked up the easy part! Dammit!

75 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:51 pm

Ohhh, come on!

Bear the fuck down, guys!

76 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:51 pm

Oy

77 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:51 pm

Imploding.

78 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:57 pm

Tied his ass up.

79 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 7:57 pm

Whoa.

Justin Wilson. Go figure.

80 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:01 pm

Ahhhhhhh.

Yes he McCann.

81 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:01 pm

Yaaay!!!

I was just thinking, "Hit a home run, Brian." And then he did!!

82 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:01 pm

McCann can!

83 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:02 pm

Yay, Carlos!

Keep that up!

84 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:02 pm

Now Carlos is happy.

SCORE HIM.

85 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:02 pm

There ya go, Carlos!

86 Alex Belth   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:02 pm

Nice rip Carlos!

87 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:02 pm

Good On all accounts.

88 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:03 pm

[83] I have not seen that Medici show, by the way -- but I mean to. Maybe when Mad Men is over.

89 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:06 pm

Whiff.

Okay, one more shot at a cushion.

90 coleman42   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:07 pm

Baltimore is on fire

91 coleman42   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:11 pm

Police appear to be passive. Like they don't want to shoot anybody.

92 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:11 pm

Yay!!

A hit! A hit!

RBI!

93 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:11 pm

Yes!!!

I like Stephen Drew now, despite myself.

94 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:11 pm

That was a sweet rip.

95 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:11 pm

Sweet, insurance!

96 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:12 pm

And Carlos definitely has his head up his ass.

97 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:13 pm

[90] Can't condone the rioters, but when a shackled guy goes into a police van and comes out with a severed spine, something ain't right.

98 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:16 pm

Nice.
I was sure he'd walk Guyer.

99 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:18 pm

So if he gets Kiermaier, Betances for four outs?

100 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:18 pm

Nice hustle Didi!

101 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:18 pm

Fabulous play, Didi.

102 coleman42   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:18 pm

Nice play, Didi. Looked confident.

103 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:18 pm

Yep, looks like.

104 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:22 pm

Well, that doesn't look like Betances at all.

105 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:22 pm

just checking in...

LOVE the title of this post!!!

106 mhoward120   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:26 pm

Love Hannah Davis

107 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:27 pm

[105] Well, he scored an insurance run for us, so I think it counts as a good game.

108 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:30 pm

[107] after hitting a double, no? yup, good game!

109 coleman42   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:31 pm

Very terrible mustaches. Please guys, shave!

110 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:31 pm

Hustle hustle hustle gritner!

111 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:32 pm

Go Go, Brett!

112 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:32 pm

[108] Yes, and a real one, not like that one Brett just hit.

113 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:33 pm

nice hustle by the gritty 'stache!

114 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:33 pm

[106] Had too Google the name. I'm fast losing touch with popular culture.

115 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:34 pm

Boooooooooo!

116 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:34 pm

Scary A-Rod.
I remember scary A-Rod. He's not really back, is he?

117 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:35 pm

Hmph. Squandered.

118 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:42 pm

Strike up the band, Souza: you just got Delined.

119 coleman42   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:42 pm

Totally fooled

120 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:43 pm

Man.

Betances is not a piss-poor pitcher, is he?

121 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:43 pm

Ohhhh!

God, that wasn't even fair.

Jesus.

122 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:44 pm

Hello Nasty.

123 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:44 pm

Sweet. Dancin' Betances is back!

124 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:44 pm

Holy moly.

That is just sick.

Blow those huge heaters by a hacker like Asdrubal, then that nauseous hook. Absolutely no chance.

125 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:45 pm

fuck yeah, dellin!

that was really nice to watch.

126 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:46 pm

It's such a luxury to have two shut-down pitchers in the bullpen.

I wonder if Dellin might move into the rotation, though. He has three top shelf pitches.

127 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:46 pm

: )

128 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:47 pm

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

What if Brian was trying to do that? And also hiding it so he can do it again later?

Nah.

129 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:49 pm

Monday night, Tampa Bay. Ye olde castle keep abandoned by the peers. The moat keeping the rable at bay.

Can't they at least give the corporate held seats to the guys in the mailroom?

The wide open spaces behind the plate is disgusting. What about hired seat fillers like at the Oscars and Grammys?

130 coleman42   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:50 pm

Dellin dealin' like Mo in '96. Automatic outs.

131 coleman42   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:51 pm

[129] Ken Boyer!

132 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:51 pm

BA up to .193? Ugh.

133 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:52 pm

It would bs great if Drew wasn't terrible this season.

134 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:52 pm

Two, three more hits and McCann will score.

135 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:53 pm

[130] we can dream, but it's exciting to watch.

136 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:53 pm

Dangerous Didi gets walked.

137 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:53 pm

Oooh.
You know your reliever has control problems when he walks one of our Gregorii.

138 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:54 pm

OK, me.

139 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:55 pm

Yep, control problems.

Is that an RBI? It is.

140 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:55 pm

Ouch, that hurts!

141 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:55 pm

HBP RBI!

142 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:55 pm

ooh, rbj - you ok?

146 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:57 pm

[143] Roku tends to be slow, I've found.

147 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:57 pm

[145] RBIs make the pain go away. Thanks for asking.

148 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:59 pm

Miller time

149 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 8:59 pm

I don't think I'd use Miller here. I know Joe will do it, because it's a Save situation, but he pitched yesterday. I'd rather have him available for the next two or three days.

150 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:02 pm

Hmm

151 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:02 pm

[149] Mo, instead?

152 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:04 pm

Phew!

153 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:04 pm

Had it all the way.

154 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:04 pm

[151] I wonder what he's doing right now.

155 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:05 pm

Two down!

loud out.

157 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:07 pm

Mr. Miller, I presume? Nasty.

160 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:08 pm

Got him!

Well done.

161 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:08 pm

Cheers, y'all. Great game!

162 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:08 pm

[151] 泣く...

betances & miller yet to give up a run this month..

they need a nickname.

163 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:08 pm

Nice win, Team!

Nice pitching.

164 rbj   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:08 pm

Strike three! Miller makes history. Night all.

165 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:09 pm

13 - 8, right? That's good! A whole lot better than I expected.

I have to admit that I pegged this team for maybe 84 wins this year.

166 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:09 pm

good job from the non-closer!

167 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:11 pm

No, 12-8. Well, respectable. That's .600.

168 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:11 pm

1st place!

169 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:12 pm

Nice win. This team has numerous points of interest that to me seemed pointless at.the start of the season. Baseball!

170 RIYank   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:13 pm

[169] You should have known better. There are no pointless points.

171 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:16 pm

The team was pointless, not the points. But by definition, aren't points pointless geometry speaking?

172 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:16 pm

[170] You havn't been watching CNN..

173 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Apr 27, 2015 9:40 pm

[172] Hahahah! Very good.
