When the schedule-makers had the Yanks and Sox playing twice in the last 2 weeks of the season, you figured these games could be enormous. Instead, they are nothing but a warm up for the playoffs, that is if the Yanks can squeak past the A’s in the dummy Wild Card game.
Our boys have not given us much encouraging news of late. But things change, and change quickly.
Never mind the back-to-school blues:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Picture by Bags
Yay, the Judge is back
Solid contact at least
The kiddo wore her "All Rise for The Judge" shirt to school today. Good timing!
Oh, Gary. Why must you suck so.
Damage limited
Can’t win if you don’t score
HAPPy!
Houdini!
Now might I suggest scoring a whole bunch of runs?
I don’t think I’ve watched several innings in a row in more than a week. More busy than apathy. But holy fucking bollocks, They look dead in the water still. And I even missed Chyll’s fine post below.
Gleyber!
[9] They've been "meh" since the all-star break.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.
Dammit.
[11] Ayuh.
[11] Indeed. I miss all the enthusiasm of the young fellas.
Another PB for Gary??? I'm starting to lose my belief in him as a catcher..
Eovaldi blows Fucking goats vs. everyone but the Yankees. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuucck!
[14] I'd put up with the PBs ... if he could remember how to hit the damn ball.
Offense disappeared weeks ago.
"Miggy Two Bags" ... I like that
Good take. Phew.
Thank you Neil!
Huuuuuuuuuuge!
Damn. That was unexpected.
Great stuff, show some damn spirit against your rivals!
Wooo-hooo Walker! (I was on the wrong thread all morning. Doh!)
I was in the middle of typing a comment bitching that Walker took a 3-1 fastball. Lol..
Holy Crap ... a Lead!
#NORISPFAIL!
Kay rocking a pink shirt.
MODAMMIIT
Nice Cadillac, Hix.
That's on Hicks.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Hicks man, WTF.
Another example of this team not putting the boot down [Hicks]. This game is far, far from over. Step on their necks, don't let up.
[14] A good read:
https://www.pinstripealley.com/2018/9/16/17865274/yankees-lineups-gary-sanchez-catcher-power-history
Yikes.
Phew!
Why do I seem to have to do a phew every game?
[33] Thanks. Yes, great read. It helps to have context.
Stop beating on Gary!
Dammit.
They can’t find the foul ball?
[36] Watching Gary "hit" this year is about as pleasant as drinking bleach ...
C'mon Zach ... nail this one down.
Well we have a little insurance
JFC Sanchez ... glad you got the out in the end ...
One down
One on
[39] Small sample size. His career numbers are still pretty good.
::facepalm::
Le sigh
That figures.
Oh come the fuck on. Yeesh. Beyond Yeesh.
[45] I did say "this year"
Another "passed ball" for Gleyber.
E4 my ass. Miguel yanked that tailor made dp.
[51] It ain't Miggy at 3rd.
Put a fucking gun in my mouth ...
Jeez Kay, a foul from the get go.
Oh come the fuck on. What the God Damn fucking Hell?!
This is going well.
[51] Huh. Torres had to catch that one.
They seem determined to lose.
Fucking finally
Pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.
Not going to cut it in the playoffs.
Sox BP is garbage, we'll take them in 6 in the playoffs.
Even when we win.... they torture us!
...or not. It's a win, but they can be better.
Night, all.
G'nite all ... see ya tomorrow ... hopefully we frustrate them again.
[61] (pssssst..... it's a 5 game series...)
[66] Oh, see..I meant...the teams are so evenly matched and they'll play extra innings so..will FEEL like a six game set...
Hmm, not a good start so far
Pheeew
YS Special.
Miggy Jr.!!
Nune5!
Our ols friend Nune5!
Nuts!
Severino's numbers look good. How has he be pitching this game???
Do the hop!
A Voit volt. I think Bird’s warranty has just been Voited.
[77] Still a pretty small sample size. Bird will be back next Spring Training.
Is good Sevy back?
[79] looks like it. Shaky first but has settled down, just that Boston is that good
Nice glove, Miggy Jr.
C'mon ... sweep this mook.
Leave Didi alone ffs! 2 hbp last night and spiked by his oan mate tonight. Oi!
Luis!
Nice ... 1 more inning, methinks.
Awesome!
ANOTHER VOIT VOLT!
Luke redux. I’ll take YS cheapies
I like this McChutchen fellow ... can we keep him?
Nice at bat from his honor.
Best thing about Voit is that we won’t be seeing Greg Bird much. What should the Yankees do with Bird next season? I wanted to see him shipped out with Sonny back before the trade deadline. Two potential front line players with weaknesses but possible upside. OTOH, left handed power in Yankee Stadium…?
Hurray. Good times.
HICKSY!
And Judge with the jets!
Next stop, double digits
Fun ass game for a change. Come on, Giancarlo, join the party!
Comforting, Luis. Very comforting. Huzzah!
Love seeing a pumped up Sevy
SEXY SEVY!!!
Fucking hell. Tracking rips all over the park. Grrrr.....
Son of a bitch!
And that's their "B" outfield, well, aside from Jackie, but DAMN.
Will we see Chapie in the 9th? I hope so.
Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke!
Yeah, I’d put Chapman out there.
O.k. It’s the debut of Justus
At least an rbi for Greg
Double digits!
NO JUSTUS ... NO PEACE!
[107] Good one! You beat me to the punch.
Damn ... he looks 35 ...
Nice to hear the crowd trying to pick him up.
Blargh ... throw strikes!
Eat shit, blue.
Phew, foul
Double play! ERA of 0.00
Yes! Cheers, y’all.
That'll do pig ... that'll do!
How about you go out there and settle him down Sanchez you butthead
What a relief. Justus can rest in peace tonight. And so can Yankee fans.
Happy to keep the Sawks from celebrating at the Stadium for another night. How about a sweep?
Yeah, I want a sweep too.
#almostobligatoryhomer
Thought that was the obligatory Tanaka Home Run.
Well, that's a shit start to things ...
More shiite ...
Oh joy, Snachez ... again ...
Finally
Bah.
Fuck.
Grrr
More Voit!
AGAIN WITH A VOIT VOLT!
C'mon Tanaka ... stop the bleeding.
Ah, there’s the #obligatoryhomer
#OBLIGATORYHOMER
Bugger.
That's cool. Sterling is in the Boston booth.
Only bottom of the 4th??
[135] ???
Cash this in.
[136] Yeah. For one inning, he moved to the Boston radio booth and one of their guys joined Susan.
Come on, Stanton.
Thank you Giancarlo!
Woooooo-hooooo!
Salami!
Curtain call for Giancarlo. Nice. If he gets right, we are a lot better.
Stanton's 'slightly slow' RH swing is great for sending balls in the direction of the short porch.
Why is Tanaka still out there? Not crisp tonight
Houdini time.
What is a gel pack?
More runs, please. Lots more.
Is Steven Wright the guy that beat up his wife? Amazing how the Sox seem to avoid all the bad pub that the Astros got for the Ozuna trade and the Yanks got for Chapman..
[147] I missed the context, but isn’t that little package that comes with some goods to control moisture?
[150] It's an upcoming Yankee giveaway. Why would you want one of those with a Yankee logo on it? Strange.
[149] Interesting. Redsux also avoided any PED flack on Ortiz.
[151] Ah, maybe the it’s one of those cold/heat packs you put on sore body parts.
[153] That sounds right.
Aw fuck
C'mon Green! I want a sweep..
This game is killing me.
Grrrrrr.
Gary is catching DB and you intentionally load the bases??? Just begging for a passed ball now..
Are you Fucking kidding me!?
Of course
Fuck me.
Hicks has been playing dubious D of late. Not a good time of year to start fucking up.
Miguel shoulda went and caught it on the fly. Terrible every which way.
Betances should not be allowed to pitch in any more close games.
That's it. I'm out. Absolute horseshit.
Mookie..man..
I can't believe I have to hope these 2 will meet in the playoffs. Gulp.
A.J. Cole was a shitty old soul.
Man this season has flown by
Damn, just foul
Didi!
Sir Didi goes BOOM!
Brett needed that hit
God the Orioles are bad
Hicks into the sticks!
Yay, Hicks
Man... trying to win Home Field is gonna be nerve racking!
Hmmm, one more out, CC.
There it is
Bullpen, please ...
Just logged in. CC looks out of gas. Bullpen time. Please not Cole.
Surprised CC is out again.
Yeah, I’d have gone to the pen too. It’s not like there aren’t a lot of arms out there. And Baltimore is essentially a AAA team.
BIG MAN!
Good for CC
Have a seat CC,good outing.
Still would have gone to the pen ...
Still afraid Cole will come in. He's not a guy to pitch to a AAA team when we need home field for the wild card.
Another run would be nice
Johnny Lasagna!
And sigh
Oy
More runs please
Yech. Time to score a crooked number.
And not just one
Luuuuuke!
Crooked number!
That's 24 RBI in 32 games for Luke.
Uh oh, Cole
Five runs is not Cole proof
For fucks sake
Two down
Phew!!!
Nailed him!
GLEYBER! batting 9th is the dumbest thing ... ever.
Nice snag, Gleyber
Nice homer, Hicks
HICKS-Y!
Yet another Voit Volt
A VOIT VOLT!
I like it!
Uh, that's a shitty way to get an out Snachez ...
Yeesh, Gary.
Yeesh, Gary.
Watching the O's broadcast. Hate listening to Palmer. Is it true that people are calling Volt "St Louis" ?
Motion for a run denied!
What a throw by the Judge!!!!
dammit
Friggin bloops
Dammit
[216] Not on YES
Good d for andujar
Huh ... I never realized that the "bullpen phone" had a full keypad ... weird.
Need the full pad to make dinner reservations, I guess
Or book a vacation for October at this rate ...
Not good, losing him from 0-2.
But that will do ...
Gotta beat this AAAA team
Chappie needs work.
Nice outing, Chapman
MODAMMIT.
::facepalm::
Well, that sucked.
Nice, Dellin
Dancin'
MODAMMIT!
Can we get some Modamn runs???
This sucks.
damn, safe
Dang. That throw was right on the money, too.
Nice to have a catcher that at the very least makes every steal attempt close.
Come on walk off
Voit voided ...
MODAMMIT
Ffs
Luuke
Phew phew phew
Ok, this time
Hicks!! Playoffs, here we come.
That was nice.
It looks like Did would have been out if the catcher held the ball. Maybe our luck is changing.
It’s a start. Now clinch that home field and go wreck some shit.
yessinDD!
So far ... HAPPy
Dang, final regular season home game
And a tough road trip coming up ...
The NY Sac Flies strike again ...
Ugh ... I smell a DP here ...
Hah!
Miggy Jr.!
But, seriously, now I smell a K ... looking, likely.
Swinging, sorry ...
Ugly, but I'll take it!
I’ll take that three
Tanke the cannoli, leave the run ...
Imagine if Miggy had more range than a statue ...
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
#RISPFAIL
A four pitch inning? grrrrrr.
Boooo
Ugh
Awful game.
Aw fuck. Didi has torn cartilage in his right wrist. Return doubtful.
Didi is turning into glass. He stumbles and he’s out weeks. He slides without being touched and he tears ligaments. Hopefully he doesn’t have any allergy problems. If he did he probably would give himself concussions when he sneezes.
And btw, why is Cole and Cessa still pitching in the majors? Is Boone contractually obligated to keep the standings close?
Like big Mac.
And agree that Cole has no role on this team.Cessa !right be a long relief inning eater.
So yanks starting backwards in the rotation... Will Sonny be good in the 3rd?
Nope. BB is obligatory by our Sonny
And the obligatory poor throw to 1st
23 pitches that inning. Have a sear Sonny.
Seat
Voit! It's been said that he's the 2018 version of Shane Sponsor. That would be OK for now.
