Cold Chillin’

Ah, a good close win. Good at bats for Stanton, nice performance from Betances, dominant one from Chapman.

Still cold as hell out here and we are still looking for Sonny Gray to show up. Speaking of chilly, Holy Crud but the Red Sox are putting the rest of the division on ice. They are now 16-2 for crying out loud. Good start is one thing but this is just ridiculous.

Never mind the tailwinds:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

3 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 20, 2018 6:47 pm

Blue skies and high 40’s. Rejoice! 2 run YS special.

4 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2018 6:59 pm

Blegh

5 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 20, 2018 7:07 pm

Fuck off, blue!

6 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 20, 2018 7:08 pm

Nice!

7 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2018 7:08 pm

Woo hoo, Stanton

8 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2018 7:18 pm

Oy

9 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 20, 2018 7:23 pm

Sonny is not a fan of the shutdown inning.

10 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2018 7:23 pm

Sigh. Congrats, kid

11 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 20, 2018 7:25 pm

Weak fucking tea.

12 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2018 7:38 pm

Yay, Miggy Jr.

13 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 20, 2018 7:52 pm

German has no idea where his pitches are going.

14 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 20, 2018 7:55 pm

Here comes the Grandyman.

15 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2018 7:56 pm

Win one, lose one, what the fuck is going on in the Boogey Down?

16 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 20, 2018 8:00 pm

Unfuckingbelievable.

17 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2018 8:02 pm

Come on bats

18 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 20, 2018 8:03 pm

ugh ... this sure isn't the start to 2018 I imagined.

19 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2018 8:24 pm

Fuck off blue, outside

20 rbj   ~  Apr 20, 2018 8:42 pm

I’m really tired. Night all

21 seamus   ~  Apr 20, 2018 9:25 pm

The pitching and defense had been disappointing so far. But I’m Here.

22 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 20, 2018 9:32 pm

Judge needs to start giving these umps grief. WTF!

23 Chyll Will   ~  Apr 20, 2018 11:20 pm

[18] the Spring season of 2018 has had a similarly befuddling and disappointing start. I really don't want to be critical, so I won't say anything until summer, maybe.

Yankee For A Minute Trayce Thomspon (brother of GS Warrior Klay Thompson) hasn't swung a bat yet it seems and he's already on his fourth team of the season with Oakland trading him to the White Sox for a PTBNL. He's a hot potato he is.

Is anyone else disconcerted by the number of players who suddenly seem to require Tommy John surgery? It's not even just pitchers anymore. Am I wrong in thinking that this has been a rising trend for the last several years and it just seems like a default at this point? Or has baseball always been this dangerous and medical science is just recently catching up with the reality? It's a topic of discussion every season now, and it bothers me a lot; I'm just not one for seeing young players wear out so quickly no matter how much they get paid, not to mention how it affects the overall quality of play. Injuries suck, but constant injuries can really suck the life out of the game for me.

Nice leather, Didi

25 rbj   ~  Apr 21, 2018 12:14 pm

Brett too.

26 rbj   ~  Apr 21, 2018 12:59 pm

Judged fair!

27 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 21, 2018 1:21 pm

Ugh. Bad decision there by Gritner and ever worse throw.

28 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 21, 2018 1:22 pm

Or probably the reverse ...

29 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 21, 2018 1:28 pm

Phew ....

Good job wriggling off that hook, Monty ...

30 rbj   ~  Apr 21, 2018 1:52 pm

I'll take that.

31 rbj   ~  Apr 21, 2018 1:58 pm

And that as well.

32 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 21, 2018 2:01 pm

For an at bat that had me yelling at the screen on the first 2 strikes, that ended much better than I had any reason to expect ...

33 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 21, 2018 2:11 pm

And I'll take that!

34 rbj   ~  Apr 21, 2018 2:15 pm

I want double digits.

35 rbj   ~  Apr 21, 2018 2:55 pm

Guess I'll have to settle for nine.

36 rbj   ~  Apr 21, 2018 2:59 pm

Nice catch, Hicks

37 rbj   ~  Apr 21, 2018 3:00 pm

Great game. Nice bounce back from last night.

38 rbj   ~  Apr 21, 2018 6:37 pm

Gleyber Torres era to start tomorrow

39 mhoward120   ~  Apr 22, 2018 12:12 pm

The Glyber Toores Era starts right now. He led the team onto the field and didn’t touch the white lines - his first true Jeterian move.

40 rbj   ~  Apr 22, 2018 12:23 pm

Didi!

41 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 22, 2018 12:42 pm

GT also got with the NY habit of k's. It's uphill from here!

42 rbj   ~  Apr 22, 2018 12:43 pm

Nice, lettuce

43 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 22, 2018 12:43 pm

Romine! nice to see the old guys coming through

44 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 22, 2018 12:45 pm

Gah ... missed the kid's first at bat.

Guess I didn't miss much.

45 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 22, 2018 12:52 pm

Yup. 3 swings and misses. 1 take. 1 foul ball.

46 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 22, 2018 1:00 pm

Phew. Good wiggling.

47 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 22, 2018 1:08 pm

PLEASE stop running into walls, Yankees outfielders!

48 rbj   ~  Apr 22, 2018 1:30 pm

Nice catch, Stanton

49 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 22, 2018 1:34 pm

cult. didn't you tell them not to run into walls?

50 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 22, 2018 1:36 pm

So ... Stanton runs into a wall in LF, Hicks in CF ... guess it's Judge's turn next in RF ...

Sigh.

51 rbj   ~  Apr 22, 2018 1:48 pm

There’s the shutout

52 rbj   ~  Apr 22, 2018 2:15 pm

Great outing by Sevy

53 rbj   ~  Apr 22, 2018 2:43 pm

Boo! Clearly safe

54 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 22, 2018 2:57 pm

nice W on a sunny Sunday. looking forward to Nats Dodgers tonite

55 rbj   ~  Apr 22, 2018 3:02 pm
