"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Let’s Try this Again

Think David Price will get his first career playoff win tonight? In Boston, they are holding their breath. And some Yankee fans might think he’ll roll over. But I expect he’ll be tough tonight and the Yanks will come back home down 0-2.

Hope I’m wrong—again:

Never mind the late night:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Hicks on the bench. Better than being off the roster

2 OldYanksFan   ~  Oct 6, 2018 5:48 pm

We Winning tonight?

3 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2018 6:17 pm

We winning tonight!

4 OldYanksFan   ~  Oct 6, 2018 6:55 pm

Will this be a private chat between you and I?

5 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:10 pm

Let’s put out the beer and chips and see who shows up.

6 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:14 pm

good morning from seoul!

7 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:15 pm

a bit hungover, looking for some smooth ground ball sailing from tanaka.

8 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:20 pm

I accept that ruling!

9 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:21 pm

Almost a NunE5

10 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:24 pm

Judge!

11 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:25 pm

good to see stanton make big contact even if he missed it

12 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:25 pm

really no one here, huh

13 OldYanksFan   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:25 pm

Blasphemy but... between Judge and Didi, I can't remember that guy that used to play SS for us.

14 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:26 pm

[12] Still working on the nachos

15 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:27 pm

[13] Bucky Bleeping Dent?

16 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:28 pm

[13] A little early for the Alvaro Espinoza reference

17 knuckles   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:30 pm

A little late to the party.
Great start by Judge, something to build on for Stanton.

18 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:30 pm

Judge is Supreme!

19 knuckles   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:30 pm

Alvaro was Bob Sheppard’s favorite name to announce.

20 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:32 pm

[19] Can hear it still.

I always loved Bob Murphy saying “Edgardo Alfonso.”

21 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:32 pm

(6) Good morning from Yokohama!
Will only be checking in intermittently as the Jazz Princess and I are hitting the music festival today.
All Rise! 田中頑張れ!

22 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:34 pm

I'm here but the game is on pause while I'm unable to get off the phone

23 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:34 pm

[21] Enjoy. What kind of music?

24 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:36 pm

really nice defense!

25 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:37 pm

Can I start counting the outs now? Only 24 to go.

26 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:37 pm

and no matter the result of the series, excited to do away with the TBS announcers.

is there any known way to stream john and suzyn on the net?

27 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:40 pm

Kraken released!

28 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:40 pm

Did you seek out Sachez, too ya cocksucker, Darling?

29 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:41 pm

(23) Yokohama Jazz Promenade. Live stages all round town, indoors and outdoors.

30 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:41 pm

[26] If you have the MLB Premium Package or the app At-BAT, just hit audio and you can choose WFAN.

31 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:43 pm

How can Dickass Darling justify that bad throw. This guy is a total deuche bag

32 OldYanksFan   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:48 pm

[31] Easy my friend. The Dude is a 'Met'... right? We can deal with him.

33 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:49 pm

Great take, GGBG.

34 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:49 pm

FINALLY off the phone, but will have to catch up

35 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:51 pm

[32] Sorry. Yes. Breath. Relax. We are winning.

36 BobbyB   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:51 pm

Leave him in!

37 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:52 pm

How much are the Shit Sawx paying Price?

38 knuckles   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:52 pm

Time to burn thru the soft underbelly of the bullpen.

39 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:54 pm

bye bye price!

back to back walks gardner n torres, clean double off the green monster. darling was just talking about how "many different ways" red sox can score runs but was kind of talking shit about the yankees for home runs. cant stand this guy!!! no matter, we are winning and price is gone!

40 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:55 pm

joooooooooe

41 OldYanksFan   ~  Oct 6, 2018 7:57 pm

[39] Easy my friend. The Dude is a 'Met'... right? We can deal with him.
(Can I start charging for this advice?)

42 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:03 pm

wooo that last strikeout from tanaka was cool as cucumber

43 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:03 pm

I'm home with my new black lab puppy named Yogi. Go Yankees! I'm glad the boys did to Price what he deserves.

44 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:05 pm

[41] Oh, I have other problems I need help with. ;>) I've got John & Suzyn on now. It's a beat behind, but I needed a break.

45 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:06 pm

[43] Aw, new puppy! I’m down to one old dog. Still gets around well.

46 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:25 pm

kind of unbelievable--- gary struggling so much, but is 7 of 14 with 6 Home Runs against Price and just hits a bomb right away.

47 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:29 pm

Work Kelly

48 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:30 pm

Damn, catching up took a long time.

Fuck Joe Kelly

49 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:32 pm

I've had a few old dogs in my day.

50 knuckles   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:37 pm

Got my first dog after age thirty and she’s about to turn ten. Best thing that ever happened to me.

51 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:38 pm

Gah

52 knuckles   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:38 pm

Our morning walks are either shorter, or take longer for the same distance but it’s the most peaceful time of my day. (3 kids under 5...)

53 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:39 pm

#obligatoryhomer

54 knuckles   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:39 pm

Shake it off Tanaka.

55 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:45 pm

love watching tanaka when he's a bit confident. breezy and all these pitches seem to be working.

56 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:49 pm

More runs, please

57 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:50 pm

I wish Price was still in.

58 OldYanksFan   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:54 pm

Boston is a GREAT comeback team. Yankees can't get lulled to sleep with just a 2 run lead.

59 BobbyB   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:58 pm

Ugh

60 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:59 pm

Nune5 looked like Andujar over there with that throw on Judge's GB

61 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 6, 2018 8:59 pm

Oh look another K from Stanton when it actually mattered.

62 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:02 pm

Fucking Bollocks!

63 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:03 pm

Love Gary trying to rattle Brasier. You gotta hit the ball, though.

64 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:04 pm

stanton and sanchez need to do much better there. yikes.

brazier added to the list of deeply unlikable boston relievers. telling gary to get back in the box. lame thing though is that gary struck out swinging immediately after, giving brazier the chance to stare him down. someone needs to blast one off against him and give him the business.

65 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:04 pm

Stanton may have 2 singles in these 2 games, but he's flailed and failed pathetically in a every at bat that could matter

66 knuckles   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:09 pm

Brasier also shit the bed last night, so it’s not like he’s dealing from strength here tonight.

67 BobbyB   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:11 pm

Hope I don’t jinx him but Tanaka looks great

68 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:12 pm

Gritner with the jump!

69 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:12 pm

anyone else surprised at tanaka being just 29?

70 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:13 pm

fenway been a bit quiet tonight.

71 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:17 pm

Eat a shit, blue, you fucking cur!

72 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:19 pm

More runs, please.

73 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:20 pm

C'mon Gritner, turn the screw here.

74 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:21 pm

[69] He seems older in his make up, but he probably started right out of high school in Japan. I could look it up, but...lazy

75 knuckles   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:22 pm

[69] IIRC, Tanaka was about the youngest star to leave Japan before Ohtani more recently.

76 OldYanksFan   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:23 pm

Let's go GGBG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

77 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:24 pm

Yeah made his NPB debut for Rakuten at 18ish.

78 BobbyB   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:24 pm

Could the TBS announcers be worse?

79 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:24 pm

That's not what you want, Brett.

80 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:26 pm

[78] No Hawk Harrelson. An admittedly subterranean bar

81 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:29 pm

yikes

82 OldYanksFan   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:29 pm

Last Inning for Tanak?

83 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:29 pm

Sigh.

More #RISPFAIL

84 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:30 pm

[82] And Boone-y should have someone up with the 1st batter.

85 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:30 pm

I’d like to see some more cut-down two-strike approaches with RISP. Everyone is swinging for Lansdowne. I’ll take a handful of timely singles instead. Sure would have helped last night.

86 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:32 pm

Nope ... it's Dancin'

87 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:33 pm

like some playoff betances

88 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:34 pm

Like to see these infielders hit Voit in the chest more routinely too. That’s trouble waiting for its moment.

89 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:35 pm

There ya go

90 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:35 pm

I love it.

91 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:37 pm

9 more outs. Start another inning with Betances, but heat D-Robb up, just in case.

92 knuckles   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:38 pm

I might’ve stretched MT more, but if both D.B. and the Hammer can impersonate ‘96 Mo, we’re in good hands.

93 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:39 pm

Put the ball in play and ya never know what can happen.

94 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:40 pm

Infield single for Judge. Line drive in the box score

95 knuckles   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:40 pm

Holy shit that was awful.
If a Yankee had covered first like that TBS would’ve lined up a firing squad between innings.

96 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:41 pm

Stop trying to make fetch* happen

*bullpenning

97 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:43 pm

It would behoove the Yankees to cash in some runs when this happens.

98 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:44 pm

Paging midsummer Stanton

99 knuckles   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:44 pm

Steps on their throats, now. Cmon.

Horseshit call.

103 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:47 pm

That's BULLSHIT. He was as safe as you can get.

Bullshit, not enough to overturn

106 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:47 pm

Double play?

107 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:49 pm

Kraken! Baseball gods take care of business

108 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:49 pm

On second thought, Lansdowne approach may have merit :)

109 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:51 pm

Take that motherfuckers! Boom!

110 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:51 pm

wooooo

111 OldYanksFan   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:52 pm

And I guess that's why you start Fat Lazy Sanchez instead of Romine.

112 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:56 pm

Awesome, Gary. Awesome.

113 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:56 pm

Tough day packing and cleaning, just gonna enjoy the last few outs.

114 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:57 pm

What I like was that Kraken went out to CF on that shot ... didn't try and pull it.

479ft

115 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 6, 2018 9:59 pm

Our LF are not playing the wall well last day or two

116 BobbyB   ~  Oct 6, 2018 10:00 pm

Betances starting to think…a bad sign

117 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 10:04 pm

Britton and Chapman for the W.

118 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 10:09 pm

its a bit nitpicky i suppose, but hearing about mccutchen's lack of time in left field at fenway, curious that boone didnt go with gardy in left mccutchen in center

119 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 10:10 pm

cant wait for the hicks pinch hit three run homer at the stadium on tuesday

120 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 6, 2018 10:14 pm

[118] Apparently, CF at Fenway is the more difficult position. Lots of ground, weird angles.

121 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 10:15 pm

Makes sense, yeah

122 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 10:15 pm

falling into my afternoon nap, now

123 OldYanksFan   ~  Oct 6, 2018 10:15 pm

[118] CF at Fenway is ALSO very hard to learn. The 'Triangle', garage doors, vermin, etc.

124 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 6, 2018 10:16 pm

I think I would have gone with the Hammer

125 Springdeeds   ~  Oct 6, 2018 10:17 pm

betts, bradley, benintendi all such impressive outfielders

126 OldYanksFan   ~  Oct 6, 2018 10:17 pm

151 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 7, 2018 2:48 pm

Great win. All eyes on Sevey. Let’s Go Yank-ees!

152 Greg G   ~  Oct 8, 2018 2:41 pm

It's exciting because Cora said that Price might come in as a reliever in one of the next two games. Gasoline meet fire.

Let's go Yang-keys. Clap, clap, clap clap clap.

153 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 8, 2018 4:00 pm

Let's see, I remember Bucky F*cking Dent, and Aaron F*cking Boone.... so who is going to be the newest Yankee in the Sawks pantheon? Can't be a first-line star, but how about Austin F*cking Romine, or maybe Adeiny F*cking Hechavarria?
