Yanks vs. Rays: Game One

The Rays handled the Yanks this season. They had the best record in the league and will be a handful for our Bombers. Irregardless—as some citizens in the Bronx still like to say—we’ll be here root-root-rooting for our boys.

Never mind the nonsense:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Due to his history against Snell, I would start Gary at DH tonight, but I guess it is defensible to have Stanton DH. I would also start Frazier over Gardner, but seems Brett has done OK against Snell. Hopefully they prove me wrong.

After 8:00 1st pitch! Fuck off MLB. Fucking Bollocks! Go Yankees!

3 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 6:16 pm

Devi for game 2. And 8 pm does suck. I can’t stay up to midnight.

4 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2020 6:51 pm

[0] AB, I still say 'irregardless'!

I hate the Rays, and especially how the media treats them as sabermetric heroes. Why do we laud billionaire owners who pay their workers less for more production? I'm happy to support a team that pays the players closer to what they are worth!

5 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:09 pm

Hate the 8 pm start (I play tomorrow at 9 am). Not a huge fan of the TBS announcers either.

6 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:13 pm

Great AB by DJ

7 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:14 pm

Classic Machine!

8 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:20 pm

Good AB by Judge, Hicks does his part

9 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:20 pm

What an AB by the Machine, 'Professional Hitter' (Trademark)!

10 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:21 pm

Hey, a manufactured run

11 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:28 pm

Damn..that's a great name though, Randy Arozarena

12 seamus   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:29 pm

Argh

13 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:29 pm

Classic Cole. Mo i hate tbe Fucking rays! Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

14 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:29 pm

Obligatory Cole HR

15 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:29 pm

Sigh, #obligatoryhomer

16 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:31 pm

Man, that happy start turned fast. It's never easy.

17 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:33 pm

[4] For all intense and purposes?

18 seamus   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:39 pm

Bullshit call

19 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:40 pm

Looked inside. Hope Cole gets that call.

20 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:41 pm

Gotta win this one.

21 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:43 pm

URSHELA!

22 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:44 pm

Woooo!

23 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:44 pm

Love Gio's glove!

24 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:44 pm

Gio, sitting down on the job.

25 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:50 pm

Clint came to play!

26 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:50 pm

Clint!!!

27 seamus   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:50 pm

Holy Frazier!!

28 mhoward120   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:50 pm

Clint unmasked, figuratively and literally!

29 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:50 pm

Frazier goes down-town!

30 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:51 pm

Frazier goes down town!

31 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:51 pm

Good move, Boone. I thought for sure he was going to go with Gardner.

32 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:53 pm

Crushed

33 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:54 pm

[29][30] Jinx!

34 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 7:54 pm

Judge’s two weak grounders probably haven’t gone 90 feet, combined.

35 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:02 pm

Gas face!

36 mhoward120   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:05 pm

Is it just me who thinks these breaks are way, way too long?

37 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:16 pm

Is it me or the camera angle? smell is getting some bullshit strikes that look outside to righties.

38 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:19 pm

[36] They are way too long. It's the greed of MLB in action. If you are at one of these games there's a lot of standing around between innings.

39 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:22 pm

Rats.

40 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:22 pm

Dang.

41 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:26 pm

Wasted opportunity.

42 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:26 pm

Choi is going yard.

43 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:27 pm

Yup.

44 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:28 pm

Motherfucker. Choi owns Cole :_(

45 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:28 pm

JAY-sus!

46 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:29 pm

Yup. Figures

47 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:29 pm

Remember when Choi was a Yankee?

48 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:31 pm

[47] I really don't remember that!

Wasted opps against Snell hurt..

49 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:35 pm

Nope, don’t remember that.

50 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:36 pm

Get those runs back

51 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:40 pm

Hot damn! Didn't have that on my Bingo card.

52 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:40 pm

東丘ホームラン!!

53 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:40 pm

Gettin' Higgy with it.

54 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:40 pm

Higgi

55 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:40 pm

[53] Dammit I was about to type that.

56 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:41 pm

All rise!

57 seamus   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:41 pm

All rise!

58 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:42 pm

Here come The Judge!

59 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:42 pm

I’m standing!

60 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:43 pm

[48] [49] 2017. Came up in middle of the summer. Hit a 2-run HR in his first MLB at bat. Sent to Scranton about 2 weeks later.

61 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:43 pm

Loooooooook

62 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:44 pm

Runs back.

63 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:44 pm

Leaving in Snell to face Stanton?

64 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:48 pm

Gotta swing at that, man. Waaay too close and he could’ve extended his arms and crushed it.

65 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:49 pm

Cole has to give them length tonight, it’s five straight days.

66 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:55 pm

Cole needs to hold a Fucking lead.

67 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:56 pm

Walking Lowe really sucked

68 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:56 pm

Put him on.

69 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:59 pm

That was a strike.

70 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2020 8:59 pm

That cross up was a strike, dammit. Imagine if that happened with Gary?

71 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:00 pm

Strike 4!

72 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:00 pm

YES!!! Whew

73 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:00 pm

Woo!

74 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:00 pm

Thinking Cole worth the $$$

75 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:02 pm

[71] Good one. That sounds like a book title. Written by the Jim Bouton of the 2010s.

76 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:03 pm

So now we see the vaunted Tampa BP. Great to get to them early in what may be 5 straight games.

77 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:04 pm

Man, got to give Cashmoney credit for finding Urshela and Voit.

78 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:05 pm

PH Garner for Frazier, overmanaging?

79 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:08 pm

[78] Better to get Gardy plunked than Clint?

80 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:17 pm

Belated phew! Had to walk the terrorists. One more inning, Cole.

81 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:22 pm

More runs, please.

82 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:24 pm

Coulda shoulda this inning

83 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:28 pm

If this game started at 7 it could be over. Sigh.

84 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:30 pm

Who's comfortable seeing Chad Green here?

85 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:33 pm

Not me.

86 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:37 pm

Go ahead and walk the dude in front of the guy who has been smashing all night. Oi!

87 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:40 pm

Ok, I am.

88 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:40 pm

Close call by Green..what happened to Ottavino this year?

89 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:45 pm

[88] became a ROOGY, then fell out of the Circle Of Trust. Really sucks, coz i like him and think he's a weapon.

90 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:46 pm

fuck. gleyber gave it a ride...

91 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:52 pm

Welp, two innings and no Geico.

92 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:55 pm

Choi an out.

93 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:56 pm

damn you, blue

94 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:57 pm

Um,

95 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:57 pm

i got a cool Gio 'defensive wizards' baseball card in the mail today, just before gametime. it's a BL Series from topps. i haven't heard of that before. it was $1 in total.

96 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:58 pm

please get a quick dp right here and now.

97 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2020 9:58 pm

98 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2020 10:00 pm

That’s an out TBS.

99 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2020 10:02 pm

104 seamus   ~  Oct 5, 2020 10:10 pm

Let’s keep Chappie down for the night.

115 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 10:20 pm

Wow. Stantonion.

116 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2020 10:21 pm

Stanton Granny!!!!

117 seamus   ~  Oct 5, 2020 10:21 pm

Weak Rays throwing at Gio. Losers.

118 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2020 10:22 pm

So no Chappie. Who will bring drama to the bottom of the 9th?

119 mhoward120   ~  Oct 5, 2020 10:22 pm

Still can get double-digits again

120 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2020 10:23 pm

[114] This.

121 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2020 10:25 pm

[117] they should've been warned.

fuck you, curtisssssssssss

123 seamus   ~  Oct 5, 2020 10:27 pm

Ok double digits please...

124 knuckles   ~  Oct 5, 2020 10:28 pm

Nobody warned yet. Yanks should be able to plunk someone in the bottom half.

125 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2020 10:31 pm

welcome to the bigs, kid. steal on the first pitch. ball 1.

126 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2020 10:32 pm
