I’ll watch part of it, but had to mow the lawn for the first time this year. Boy am I out of shape.

2 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 8:51 pm

Nice dinner time start here in Cali ...

3 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 9:18 pm

Nice!

4 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 9:30 pm

I fucking hate scioscia. Reminds me of an Asshole Little League coach.

5 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 9:34 pm

Fucking horse shit.

6 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 9:41 pm

Wowzers.

7 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 9:43 pm

Damn, that was a nice piece of hitting from Ohtani

8 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 9:49 pm

DAMMIT!

9 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 9:52 pm

Blue is garbage.

10 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:02 pm

He's consistent.

Yankees have to stop taking that pitch and then looking surprised.

11 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:12 pm

Gah, the Angels piss me off.

12 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:12 pm

Sunofabitch. Just missed it.

13 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:15 pm

Like I said, he's consistent.

14 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:21 pm

Miggy A!

15 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:25 pm

Yes. Rats. Tie it up!

16 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:28 pm

Thank you for doing some hitting there Hicks.

17 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:29 pm

Hix’ sac trick.

18 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:36 pm

We are lucky to see Didi every day. So good.

19 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:39 pm

MVDiDi!

20 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:39 pm

Nice, Didi!

Take it if they're giving it away!

21 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:39 pm

This game is flying by.

22 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:39 pm

Home runs. Slick d. Bunts against the shift. Holy nelly.

23 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:42 pm

Baltimore Chop!

24 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:46 pm

Seriously?

25 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:46 pm

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!!?!?!

AAAAAAAAAAAARGH.

26 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:47 pm

That is fucking ridiculous. WTF!!!

27 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:50 pm

Walker can't buy a break. Calhoun can take a hike.

28 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:51 pm

What the hell just happened? Stanton tagged up, didn't he?

29 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:54 pm

Cole Calhoun sounds like a character from the Dukes of Hazzard.

30 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:55 pm

4 blind mice.

31 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:57 pm

I'm gon got them Duke boys and that Wiley Cole Calhoun.

32 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 27, 2018 10:57 pm

How can that be a double play? The Yanks should protest.

33 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:01 pm

They haven't shown one definitive camera angle. Fucking Bollocks.

34 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:14 pm

Oh, Gary.

35 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:15 pm

Fucking Hell.

36 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:17 pm

Did I say how much I hate the Angels?

37 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:20 pm

I'm With you, Cult.

38 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:21 pm

[36] Always worth repeating.

39 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:28 pm

Weak. Weak! Dammit! C'mon, Stanton!

40 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:29 pm

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.

That's gone in July.

41 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:30 pm

Nooooooooooooooooooooo. Shite!

42 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:31 pm

I thought that was 20 rows deep.

43 51cq24   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:32 pm

holder pitches the bottom of the 8th down 1 run? what the hell is this?

44 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:33 pm

That goddamn field's too big.

45 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:35 pm

Boone's binder is full of surprises.

46 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:37 pm

Calhoun lost that game of Hold 'em.

47 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:42 pm

Gary watched a meatball.

48 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:44 pm

Atta boy, Gary.

49 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:47 pm

Sanchez is so fucking slow.

50 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:48 pm

Ah man! Tie it up!

51 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:48 pm

Another double!!

52 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:49 pm

GRITNER TIME!

53 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:49 pm

Must. Tie. Game.

54 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:49 pm

Let’s go, Gritner!

55 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:50 pm

Gritner. Don't fuck it up.

56 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:50 pm

I, too, wondered why Holder was in during such a close game and thought Stanton’s shot was gone...

57 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:51 pm

We showed some nice D in the 8th.

58 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:51 pm

Would love to gain a game on the shit sox.

59 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:52 pm

Word!

60 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:52 pm

Tied up!

61 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:52 pm

Gritty gets it done!

62 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:52 pm

Let’s go, Hicks!

63 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:53 pm

Word up, Nostra!

64 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:53 pm

Cult - are you going to any of the games this weekend?

65 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:54 pm

Rats. Live to fight another half.

66 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:54 pm

Hey cult - I actually called the Sanchize walkoff in the car the other day!

67 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:56 pm

Hammer time.

68 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:57 pm

I’d prefer the Hammer to Houdini tonight

69 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:58 pm

NAILED!

70 thelarmis   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:58 pm

NAILED!

71 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:58 pm

That was fun. We can play small ball too.

72 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 27, 2018 11:59 pm

Seems like I'm about 3 minutes behind yous guys.

73 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:00 am

I’m sure I’m behind a bit too, as I’m watching via Roku

74 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:02 am

Runs, please. It's late!

75 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:02 am

Nice! Only 10 pitches; send the hammer back out for the 10th.

Judgement time!!!

I friggin *hate* Blake Parker’s delivery. Let’s destroy him this frame!

76 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:05 am

This dude is way too twitchy.

77 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:06 am

SIR DIDI!@!!!!!!

78 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:07 am

Love me some Didi.

79 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:07 am

HOLY SHIT, DIDI!!!! ⚾️

80 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:07 am

Superstar.

81 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:08 am

LOVE all the Yankee fans there

82 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:09 am

Wait. Should he have done the curtain call there? Hmmm. I hope that’s not bad karma...

83 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:11 am

MVDiDi. I forgot...who was the last Yankee shortstop?

84 knuckles   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:12 am

Was thinking the same thing. That curtain call may have been bad juju. But I love it regardless.
Sciosscscsiaisia will probably feel the need to teach a lesson about the old timey unwritten rules of the game.

85 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:14 am

There were a lot of cheers for him and it was understated and done with a laugh, but still...

Also: Fuck scioscia.

86 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:17 am

Fuck scioscia is right. If something pisses him off it is a positive.

87 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:17 am

Uno

88 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:18 am

His look on the ball called to judge - which was indeed a ball - is just the worst.

89 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:18 am

Dos

90 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:19 am

MVDiDi. I forgot...who was the last Yankee shortstop?

Wayne Tolleson?

Alvaro Espinoza?

91 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:21 am

Ugh.

Let’s get young on one pitch. Infield pop up to gleyber or Miguel

92 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:21 am

Bobby Meachem!

93 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:23 am

Great win!

94 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:24 am

NICE WIN.

SEE Y'ALL TOMORROW!

95 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:24 am

Tres!!!

96 knuckles   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:25 am

Definitely Meachem or Dale Berra.

97 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 28, 2018 12:29 am

Lucky 7!

98 rbj   ~  Apr 28, 2018 8:13 pm

Wow, didn’t realize MVDidi has triple crown numbers

99 rbj   ~  Apr 28, 2018 8:15 pm

Thanks for that error

100 rbj   ~  Apr 28, 2018 8:18 pm

And that hit, Gary

Pour it on boys!

102 rbj   ~  Apr 28, 2018 8:23 pm

He’s safe.

103 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 28, 2018 8:23 pm

Safe at 1st.

104 rbj   ~  Apr 28, 2018 8:26 pm

I approve of all this scoring in the first

105 rbj   ~  Apr 28, 2018 8:46 pm

And in the second, too.

106 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 28, 2018 8:46 pm

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Could that be the Score Truck I hear?

107 rbj   ~  Apr 28, 2018 8:47 pm

Next up, double digits.

108 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 28, 2018 8:54 pm

Wow, I can't remember the last time the Yanks batted around in 2 consecutive innings ...

109 rbj   ~  Apr 28, 2018 8:54 pm

And there it is. This is a good old fashioned ass kicking

110 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 8:57 pm

Double digits already!!! On pace for 45-0!!!

I’ll have to watch those two frames later...

111 yankintexas   ~  Apr 28, 2018 9:05 pm

Did I read the box score right. 10 runs scored but 0 HRs?

112 rbj   ~  Apr 28, 2018 9:08 pm

[111] Yup. Just wait til the break out the big bats

113 rbj   ~  Apr 28, 2018 9:13 pm

I’m just going to go offline and enjoy this. Night all.

114 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 28, 2018 9:46 pm

Haven't scored in 3 innings.

Losers.

115 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 10:37 pm

Stanton just missed another. Got under it a tiny bit. Sanchize scorched another double. Damn he’s slow!

116 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 10:45 pm

Finally, Walker gets some good luck. Ribbie against the shift. +10 fun diff on the game again!

LOUD cheers for the Yanks @ Yankee Stadium West! ⚾️

117 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 10:45 pm

I don’t think he went on that check swing, but it looked like a strike anyway...

118 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 10:49 pm

The AJ Cole era is upon us.

119 thelarmis   ~  Apr 28, 2018 11:00 pm

5th two-bagger of the night! This one for Gleyber

120 rbj   ~  Apr 29, 2018 7:07 pm

Come on Large Guy, I want a sweep.

121 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 29, 2018 7:15 pm

Evening all!

122 rbj   ~  Apr 29, 2018 7:32 pm

Skaggs early on is dealing like a Boz.

123 seamus   ~  Apr 29, 2018 7:43 pm

Bats hopefully wake up soon. Might need shadows to shift.

124 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 29, 2018 8:09 pm

Nice rip, Mike.

125 rbj   ~  Apr 29, 2018 8:10 pm

Nice hit, Stanton. Hope the guy is heating up

126 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 29, 2018 8:11 pm

Kaboom!

127 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 29, 2018 8:11 pm

Gary goes BOOM!

128 rbj   ~  Apr 29, 2018 8:11 pm

Even better, kraken!

129 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 29, 2018 8:13 pm

447ft!

130 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 29, 2018 8:34 pm

Ugh ... 6 Ks in a row for Judge

131 rbj   ~  Apr 29, 2018 8:38 pm

Big strike zone tonight. At least it’s going both ways.

132 rbj   ~  Apr 29, 2018 8:40 pm

Miggy Jr.! CC lined up for the win. More runs.

133 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 29, 2018 8:40 pm

Look like the Kraken got released today.

However, I'm pissed off. MLB Premium Package is supposed to give me every game, for every team. Every game.

This game is not on. WTF? At least I got John & Suzyn and CC is cruising.

134 rbj   ~  Apr 29, 2018 8:43 pm

[133] even the four letter network games?

135 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 29, 2018 8:50 pm

This game is cruising along.

136 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 29, 2018 8:55 pm

[134] Well, apparently not, but I guess I need to check the info.

I don't ever remember being denied a game last year. Anyway, the point of premium MLB and NFL packages for people in Asia is you don't have to worry about any blackouts at all. We can't keep track of what network is hosting the game, cause we are always "not there."

137 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 29, 2018 8:58 pm

That figures. Fuck!

138 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 29, 2018 8:59 pm

[135] Obviously, this is my fault.

139 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:02 pm

Well that's nice.

140 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:02 pm

That was a typical "pesky Angels run."

141 rbj   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:03 pm

[136] Ah, out of country. I have no idea About international broadcasting rights.

142 rbj   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:04 pm

CC for the seventh?

143 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:21 pm

Oh, Didi

144 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:22 pm

Big Poppa thru 7 on 97 pitches!

145 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:25 pm

CC is now 5th in strikeouts on the all-time Yankees list. Wow!

146 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:28 pm

At least Judge didn’t strike out in that at-bat

147 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:30 pm

The ESPN microphones are waaay too loud. A weak foul ball sounds like a 500 ft blast from Stanton.

Heart of the halos lineup now. D-Rob?

148 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:34 pm

So now I have the game. Ghost in the Machine? Anyway saves me from having to complain.

[147] I agree. Sounds like gun fire.

149 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:34 pm

Damn. Leadoff walk by Green. Guess it coulda been worse...

150 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:35 pm

I'm worried about Trout.

151 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:35 pm

Bollocks.

152 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:35 pm

Yeah, an 80mph offspeed pitch sounds like Chapman’s fastball popping the mitt.

153 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:36 pm

I can see Trout stealing. We really need a DP here.

154 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:37 pm

Nice. I’ll take the DP here and now.

155 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:38 pm

Seems like I'm behind. I better stay off the Banter in case of spoilers.

156 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:39 pm

Stop losing the strike zone

157 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:40 pm

Don't walk everybody.

158 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:40 pm

Whew. Game of inches...

159 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:41 pm

He's gonna walk him.

160 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:41 pm

Yikes!

161 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:41 pm

Weird catch and way too scary, but an out is an out and no advance.

Let’s have a quick and easy out now, thank you please

162 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:42 pm

Ok, NOW adore the quick n easy out

163 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:43 pm

One more strike, Chad

164 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:44 pm

YEAH!!!!

165 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:45 pm

Gotta love the Anaheim Yankees crowd!

166 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:46 pm

Onions.

167 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:49 pm

Yeah, cult - it’s totally Yankee Stadium West out there. I loves it! You go to any of the games?

168 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:49 pm

Unfortunately not, just didn't work out.

169 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:54 pm

Hicks ripped that double! Would love to cash that in here

170 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:54 pm

I hear ya, cult. Sometimes it’s easier to just watch and follow at home. Actually, all the time but it’s nice to go to the park sometimes

171 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:55 pm

Damn. Alright, kick some ass Chapman!

172 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:58 pm

Buckle up.

173 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 9:59 pm

One down

174 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 29, 2018 10:05 pm

Hold on, Gary.

175 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 10:05 pm

We caught a BIG break there. Whew.

Two down

176 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 10:06 pm

I’m glad that went our way, but Angel Hernandez is just a terrible umpire.

177 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 10:08 pm

Gotta get him out here. Really don’t want Trout coming up...

178 thelarmis   ~  Apr 29, 2018 10:09 pm

YES!!!

179 Ara Just Fair   ~  Apr 29, 2018 10:09 pm

Happy days! Cheers, y'all!

180 seamus   ~  Apr 29, 2018 10:10 pm

9 in a row!!

181 Boatzilla   ~  Apr 29, 2018 10:21 pm

Woo-Hoo. CC is beautiful. The Kraken is crackin'. Let's keep rollin'.

182 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Apr 30, 2018 10:56 am

Was driving, listening last night to ESPN on radio. What a win. The real test starts tonight. Love to tke the series from the 'Stros.
