Man, Eovaldi finally put together the big one, eh?—a real masterful performance, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh. Good for him. Betances got touched for a solo dinger in the eighth but was otherwise stingy and Miller sailed through the ninth on less than ten pitches to give the Yanks a tidy 3-1 win. Gotta be pleased for Eovaldi, I find him easy to root for, the big lug.
More tonight. Winning is fun. How bout some more?
Never mind the brisket:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Let's do this!
And how about scoring a bunch of runs tonight!
[2] Did you say "scoring", or "giving up"?
I meant, by the Yankees, not the Rangers
Another representative showing from the Yankee offense.
Hmm, it's raining
Are we rooting for a rain-out now?
I'd prefer a rain out to someone getting injured
Problem being, a walk is really bad now.
I dunno, I think it's wrong to be intimidated by Prince Fielder, who honestly is not that good.
Yep, there ya go.
The team would be much better off if they never did any plays at all.
Ackley had a play at second in the first, Luis had that guy struck out and then a walk. Fucking Bollocks!
We're rooting for the rain out, right?
Yeah I definitely want a rainout now
[10] They'd still be kinda crappy. They can't hit. At all.
Come on, rain out!
When every pitcher in baseball can pitch into the sixth without much effort against this team, is it even worth crediting individual pitchers? Like you clearly don't have to be a lefty, despite that myth, and you obviously don't have to be very good, or even a starter. You can be someone making your major league debut, a lifelong crappy reliever, an emergency starter, a middling journeyman. Just everyone slices this lineup to pieces.
Crap, now the rainout option is over
The last time a starting pitcher failed to complete five innings against the Yankees was Mike Pelfrey on April 9. In that period, only Blake Snell (making his major league debut), Nate Karns and Felix Hernandez (of all fucking people) failed to at least start the sixth inning. Other than Pelfrey, Collin McHugh on April 6 is the only other pitcher to fail to throw five innings.
This offense is putrid.
Well at least I can give up early. Night all.
