Nah, actually it was a chilly first week for the Yanks who lost games and got hurt feelings—along with hurt players.
Now, they head up to Fenway to play the Sox who’ve come out gangbusters, although they ran into a little trouble of their own when Xander Bogaerts had to go on the DL. Otherwise, they look sharp.
Tonight gives Dueling Aces—Sale vs. Severino. Should be a good one. Maybe Stanton can loosen up. Or maybe it’ll get worse. We’re pulling for the Big Guy and know he’ll be okay.
Never mind nuthin’:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Picture by Bags
And away we go
Has anyone ever struck out on less than 3 pitches? Asking for a friend.
There is an apocryphal tale of a rookie facing Walter Johnson. After two quick strikes, the hitter walked back. Ump told him he had another strike. Rookie remarked the ump could have it, it wasn’t going to do him any good.
Crud
Not good
Phew
Ball 1 to Betts was a better pitch than the called 3rd strike. Wtf.
Crap.
This is just the game I needed to wash the bad taste of the weekend o’s series out of my mouth. Grrrrrrrrrr.......Fuck boston.
maybe i'm looking for it, but the sox sure seem to know what's coming on every pitch
I wonder how cold weather affects a slider relative to other types of breaking pitches...
The vaunted bullpen will keep it close.
Burned up half the mound visits
We’re not winning tonight
Cousin Oliver flashing the leather.
C’mon, Stanton! Ferfuck’s sake!
Damn. This game sucks already. Why is Romine catching? Gary just had 3 days off.
I gotta keep the faith. My whole day is wheeled around the game.
Stanton’s timing is off
He's gonna strike out.
This is not going to end well.
Turrible.
At least Gary looks relaxed.
Big boppers coming up meaningless. Sigh.
More coffee. Grrrrr.
That’s better
And that is not
Word.
I picked a bad day to give up fentanyl. ;>)
Judge overrules the shutout motion
Sheet. My timing is off. Woo-Hoo!
Another hit. Another LOB.
Eat shit, blue.
Weeeeeeeeee....pop ups.
This week is draggin'. I can't believe it's only Wednesday (here).
Christ on a candlestick!
Fucking Bollocks. I wish it was Wednesday.
Would I be considered a "fair weather" fan, if I turned the game off now?
I really dislike how Boone handles pitchers so far. I just think he’s pulling them too early half the time and the other half leaving them in too long. It doesn’t feel to me like he has good instincts for it.
[37] oh I turned it off. I’ll probably turn it back on lol
[37] I’m going to check on the game, but Forged in Fire and Chopped are on, plus I’m coming off a stomach bug, so I’m out for the night.
Sevvy didn’t have it, Sale did. Tip your cap and wait for tomorrow.
BTW, what are they testing Drury for? I thought migraines were migraines.
Anyone have any experience? Reasons to be Cheerful?
This game sucks. Good thing hockey playoffs start tomorrow to distract me from the next debacle or three.
[41] migraines can be symptoms of a number of things I think.
[43] Gotcha.
FWIW, I had cluster headaches several years ago. Devastating pain. Three sequences over about 4 months, then they just disappeared and never came back [knocking wood]. This is after doc said they would be with me for life. They never came up with a cause.
Stantonian! I'm a glass half full guy.
[43] I’m glad they went away for now at least.
[15] Hah! Who is the Oliver lookalike?
Glad I missed this game...yuck.
[47] I knew there was someone out there in Banterland that knew that one! lol
Brock Holt the SS was rocking his position last night with some shaggy blond hair and glasses.
