Sox won again today—man, you seen the box scores this afternoon? nobody is scoring any runs. The Yanks will try to keep pace tonight with Sonny G on the hill. Bombers won last night, 3-0, thanks to a pair of singers by Didi and a good start by C.C. and more ace work out of the pen.
More, please.
Never mind the strikeouts:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Picture by Bags
Hopefully good Sonny shows up.
I don’t have much faith in Sonny being able to keep Harper in the park.
Urge. To. Kill. Rising.
Ugh, Didi
I sit corrected.
Good times, bad times ...
It’s struggling Sonny
Sonny makes me want to punch myself in the face ...
Well that was a nice, efficient inning. Gag.
not the good Sonny...yet. at this rate, maybe 4?
Gritner at third, no outs, how do the YNkees no score here.
My bad
Well, that inning turned around ...
Bird lets it fly
Bird is the wird!
Judge just missed that
All ... stand up half of the way!
close but no cigar
Still scores
I'll take it !
btw, looks like another big crowd
Sonny may have a future with Dancing with the stars
Nice reaction from Gray there.
Grrrrrrrrr.
Modammit!
that sucks Sonny
Double GRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Bugger fuck.
good D. need a couple now.
Juan (son of Mario?) Soto is the Nats hot young prospect?
Was Gray unlucky or was it a bomb? Just logging in here.
ole tires ole
OK... sorta pop fly opposite field, but with some pop.
EVERYBODY GLEYBER NOW!!!
and Soto is the Nats 2nd prospect. Victor Robles is the guy they're expecting to be an all star, maybe replace Harper
Doh, Didi
[32] SNAP fan?
EVERYBODY GLEYBER NOW!!!!
Pretty play by Gleyber. Cano-esque.
That was fruitless.
[36] my bad, not SNAP, C&C Music Factory! (And not Wang Chung either..sorry, my 80s vibes are sloppy today)
Fuck.
crushed
Ok, this Soto kid is starting to get on my nerves
Grrrrrrr.
Looks safe to me
Hmm, out
ok Robbie. niw let's get a couple
I'd run Didi to stay out of the DP
ok. my bad. good hit
[47] Stanton comes through! Can Hicksy plate Didi?
What a garbage at bat.
Well, Miggy ain't going to walk so let's see if he can tie it up.
Oh well, can't win em' all.
Bigger picture though: who's going to come rescue the pitching staff..wonder if the Rocket is interested in a half-year deal?
Well fuck.
At least we get 4 with Tampa next. And last time I loked, still in 1st.
Weird, this game is on FS1
But Yankees announcers ...
Guidry!
Well that’s not a good start
Lightning!!!
His 1978 season is the reason I became a Yankees fan ... I just remember turning over that Topps card for the first time and marveling at the numbers.
Well, that was a shitty start to the game.
Nice bounce back, though.
Kid has talent, just needs consistency ...
Nice hit, Miggy Jr.
A 2 out rbi sure would be nice.
Sigh...
Of course it’s a strikeout
Softer contact, please, German.
Been discussing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec14W8oh4sg over at BBTF.
What a hell of a throw ...
Snell vs. German? There's a joke in there somewhere.
A German could make a joke?
[68] Ha!
Anyone know who's with Kay tonight? I can't recall hearing him before.
Something ... anything ... would be nice.
Ugh
Lame! Score off this chump!
[70] Brian Anderson
Baby Face Snell today, is this good now?
[75] Is he 'this' good now?
[74] Thanks.
To the Sticks!
[75] Ha! Sounds like a Bugs Bunny villain
Just a disgraceful at bat from Stanton.
C'mon Gleyber!
Groove a heater!
[78] shh be vewy vaewy quiet. We’re hunting Snells.
Gleyber!
EVERYBODY GLEYBER NOW!!!
OONCE, OONCE, OONCE!!!
If we took a Gleyberday...took time to celebrate!
And a lead off walk. Ungood.
C'mon German ...
Dropped. Saw that one coming through the Holland Tunnel
MODAMMIT.
CALL THAT SHIT.
Hot diggity. Just hope that gift run doesn’t come back to bite us in the ass
Gleyber Tater!!
(BTW, Pa Sterling's HR call for the kid is just excruciating..)
Now I expect Gleyber to do something special every game.
[90] It's a spoof of the State Farm jingle, right?
[92] Yeah, really bad. Tried explaining that one to Jazz Jr, he was baffled.
(BTW, Pa Sterling's HR call for the kid is just excruciating..)
EVERYTHING Sterling does is excruciating ...
[94] Can't believe he's going to be 80 on July 4th..
Sherrif stops another steal.
[95] He's my hero. To have the gumption to be that creative (corny or not) at 80, and it's day after day.
I bet we could get a great pitcher for Stanton. [half joking]
[98] Kershaw?
One down
No chance in that curve. Holy.
Kay is talking about Chapman's sweat. Hmmm...
Two
Three!
This pleases me.
Gleyber Freaking Torres.
Am I being greedy for missing that 3rd strike Chapman stare?
Sorry to have missed the fun. was I'm my own softball double header. lost 16-15 and 12-11. I went 4 for 6 with a walk. also, an e-4. looking ahead to tonight!
It’s lasagna night!
Johnny Lasagna night!
First ML K
Nicely done!
Now ... score runs!
And DP action too.
Damn, that was a fat one on the first pitch to Judge ...
Coley Harvey, ESPN Staff Writer
Yankees GM Brian Cashman was just asked about whether he'd listen to trade scenarios that include players in exchange for Gleyber Torres. His response? "No. Come on now. I've got to walk around this city."
:)
Damn, Wade Boggs is 60 today?
Old. I feel old.
Tasty lasagna
Bird is the wird ...
Uh, that sucked Gary.
This team can't hit for shit right now ...
Have to spoil that pitch.
4 walks total in the minors this year .. 3 walks tonight.
Nerves. And the Rays are major league hitters
Thing is, he's juuuuuuust off the plate on a lot of those calls.
So yeah.
Sir Didi!
Get that third out
Grrr
Still a strike, blue
There ya go!
Johnny Lasagna!
I hear the ghost of Scooter complaining about those bunt attempts
Speaking of which
Nice play to get the lead runner
FUCK YOU TORRES!
That was squeeeee!
Send him out for the sixth?
[135] Nah, from what I've read he hasn't been stretched out in the minors. Time for the bully.
[136] my thinking as well. Injuries and never pitched above AA.
Ah, good.
Ran into the tag. Ha
Boone looks like a manager. Even with a lead he looks annoyed.
I’d think about Gleyber for Kershaw.
Think.
Not with his back issues.
Forgot about that.
Mike Trout? Which blows up the luxury tax plan
That was gorgeous from Dancin'
That was gorgeous from Dancin'
x2!!
Sub-optimal from Bird
I but very optimal for Gary
One
Dos
Two
Yankees win!
And three!
Nice big helping of lasagna tonight
Mmmmmm ... tasty lasagna!
See y'all tomorrow!
So it seems that either Drury or Frazier or both will be gone soon. Maybe Wade too.
I would think at this point that infielders are more expendable than outfielders, given Gardy's age.
Or would Cashman give up young pitching for a Hamels-type hired gun?
Oh, I forgot about Austin. His days have to be numbered.
Clutch Gleyber
Painfully slow
Maybe it's just a bad game, or maybe it's that the Rays just aren't good.
Belly to belly!
late to the party. looking very comfortable.
Don't mind saving some of Luis' bullets.
Sigh
Oy vey
enuf of Shreve today
One down, with no attempt to score
Ditto with two
Strikeout!
nice finish
watching the Nats. just saw an ump call interferece with the catcher by himself! never saw THAT before. Catcher's hand hit the ump on a throw to second.
Brick hot out. Didi with the triple
Not good
Hicks with the bomb!
Le Sigh
Some run support for CC would be good
Geez, Stanton.
Blegh. I wanted a sweep.
It's a hot and humid afternoon in the DC area. waiting for the semi-double header to start.
A Judgeian blast. Too bad for the wrong team.
Soto is making lots of Nats fans feel ok about letting Harper walk. and he's not even the top prospect.
nice knock Birdie, way to go GT
fortunately for NY, Madson is awful
too many LOB
Nerts
Blergh
Ah nightcap started early
complete with obligatory K from Judge
seeing eye rbi.
Since this is a road game, I'm really hoping for the "good" Sonny
Ruh roh
Yup
Could have been much worse
Double plays blow.
That’s a fucking strike, blue!
Oh great, Sonny’s on base
That was pretty. Hix hits one to the sticks!
Thank you Hicks, now Sonny doesn’t have to eun
Good way to keep Gray from running hard. Woo-hoo!
That I heard from Sterling the other day.
Seems like they won't throw Judge anything on the plate.
Good to have the real Didi back.
Not that good.
When did Harper shave his beard. Samson?
Stanton really has disappointed so far this season.
[292] either yesterday or today. An outfield of Stanton, Harper and Judge?
[204] Waxing poetic there with the numbers?
[202] Message to the Stein Bros?
[203] For sure, his swing looks so bad, so often..yet 59 taters last year not a mirage so maybe he's still just 'pressing'?
I'm hoping the game won't be that exciting going forward. ;>)
[206] could be
[205] Fifty, fifty, fifty.
I don't trust batting averages anymore. Some of our best hitters are hovering around .200, yet I still have faith in them to change the game.
Phew
Texas Holder!
Holder held 'em!
We need some State Farm runs now.
Hey Jazz, don't you have some people in Osaka? I hope all are safe and well.
[214] Hey Boat, Gran and Great-Gran are down there. All ok though, thanks!
[215] Good to hear it.
This is no way to tack on runs.
Good to hear, Jazz. Any deaths reported?
Why hold Judge there?
THAT's the way! What were you guys saying about Stanton?
Gleyber respect
C’mon, Bird! Find a gap.
[203] Except against lefties!
Boom Boom!
[218] 3 dead, couple hundred injured. My co-worker is from Osaka, he heard from his buddy who is in the hospital with a broken leg. A tree fell on him(!!)
[224] glad it isn’t more. From what video I’ve seen looked like it could have been nasty
DB time.
[225] The real tragedy was a nine-year-old girl crushed by a wall while walking to school.
[227] ugh. Awful.
Betances dances!
Dealin' Betances!
Vintage Dancin’!
I figure someone's gonna get tossed on the Nationals, they won't be happy with more than a couple calls in that inning ...
nice to see Stanton with a 4 hit night.
just noticed that Bruce shaved off his beard. Signal to Cash? Don't think he's a 400 million man with the boom in younger and cheaper talent. Don't see the Yanks moving for him.
Bryce
not Bruce
Bryce is going to have to move off the 10 year $40p mil ask. First, no more ten year deals. Eight tops. And towards the end Judge, Sevy and Gleyber need to get paid too.
Bryce Bruce would be a funny name.
I don’t like this.
I would say the very last thing the Yankees need is an expensive outfielder.
There’s one
Has Chapman given up a devastating walk off loss this year, yet?
Um, not good
Finally two
No Bryce please.
Boo
Didi blocking signs from Nats runner
Judge ends it!
Exhale!
What a nice ending! Huzzah!
Night all, thunderstorms rolling in.
nite all.
ALL RISE
Phew. That's was too close for comfort.
