Ronald Torreyes is not just a cute mascot who is hosted on Didi Gregorius’s shoulders every time A-Aron Judge homers. Last night, he made a trio of terrific plays in the field and then came through with a looping base hit in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Yanks a much-needed, 2-1 win.
Masahiro Tanaka was excellent, he looked like his old self, and matching him was Yu Darvish.
Alas, Chris Carter—who made a few nice scoops at first last night—has gone the way of Garrett Jones and any number of other sluggers picked up on the cheap in the hopes that they would catch fire. Carter never did with the Yanks and he was DFA’d after the game. Seems like a good dude. And while this is likely a wise move by the team, and I won’t miss watching Carter’s at bats, I always feel badly when things don’t work out. Then again, he is making $3.5 million this year so I am not too broken up about it.
And Tyler Austin gets called up so be nice to see him again.
It is muggier than muggy today. Afternoon game at the Stadium.
Never mind the stupidity:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Picture by Bags
Actually did manage to stay awake for the game. Heluva pitching duel. Nice win
That's what ya get for walking the lead off guy.
Damn, that's going to come back and bite the Yankees in the ass
Sigh. The sun's not yellow it's chicken.
Phew
mason williams leading off? what the hell?
why is headley taking up a spot on the bench when he can't play and the dl is only 10 days now?
Austin struck out in three pitches. He sucks. Bring Carter back.
Paulie has a fidget spinner? I just bought one today.
Well that was a good nap spoiled. 3-0?
Nice, Didii
I can play first.
Ugh. Where's the Score Truck?
This is infuriating.
Oh good, the dregs of the bullpen are here.
the two guys who hit in yesterday's game get benched today. interesting strategy.
Yay!
Judge gavels another dinger
Woo-hoo. I turn my attention to House of Cards and miss seeing the Judgement live.
Well, gas up the score truck guys, I gotta get some shut eye. I expect a win when I wake up.
Boo
The focus on Clippard has masked how terrible Holder is.
have the yankees ever had a bullpen this bad?
You can always tell when Joe is panicking because he falls back *hard* on pointless matchups.
Hard to win when you aren't scoring runs
Atta boy, Tyler. Fuck!
This really is appalling.
We're losing to a Bibens-Dirkx
[28] Completely dominated by a Bibens-Dirkx
Sigh
I'm over Clippard.
Is Carter still around? Tyler could grab a ride.
Jeebus. When even Kay can predict what's going to happen . . .
Blech!
Bibens-Dirkx...what?
All right, let's try this again.
Ugh
I can't bear to watch anymore. Please tell me when it's over.
what's with girardi resting multiple regulars per game?
Fer fuck's sake. Time to do some chores.
Now they just need a grand slam for the homer cycle.
Tyler Austin hurt sliding feet first. Wonderful.
What now, Hicks injured?
Judge overrules the shutout.
Gery comes through.
The Franchise.
Why in hell was Chase running there?
WTF, Chase!
every time al downing's name comes up, kay mentions he gave up hank aaron's 715th home run in order to say downing didn't let that define him
Rom Ron goes boom.
Toe!
Being the owner of a terrible back. I wish Didi would stop picking up his mates. Especially Judge. Now where's the Advil.
Sweet! Fuck!
To within one
Why is Sanchez trying to go to third there? Who does he think he is? Jorge Posada?
Hey, who's this Betances kid?
Modammit, Tyler!!! Grrrrrrr......
I would have bunted Austin there
No reason to pinch hit one of your best hitters with a man in scoring position down one run in the 8th
Girardi needs to go. This is insanity. Can we replace him with David Cone please?
Up to Gary now.
Rats
3-4 weeks for Hicks, but I'm close to a return
