Go Yankees!
Let’s go Yankees!
And so it begins. Buckle up! Lets Go YANKEES!
Throw fucking strikes, Rodon!
Yikes
Nice!
Rizzo is back!
Uh oh, two on, no outs. Yankees won’t score
Eat fucking shit, blue.
[8] News at 11:00!
3rd time in 5 playoff games the Yankees get Gleyber and Soto on with no outs and fuck it all up. Amazing.
Alas
Yup. Sad that we know this.
Ok that’s two innings!
Good job, Rodon!
Ump sucks
Nice! At a minimum at least they are working Cobb
I know it’s a moot point but what stupid base running by Verdugo there.
[18] it’s intentional for sure
I like it.
That’s 3 innings down!
[18] The only way he's going to be safe is if the 2nd baseman drops it and he'll be on the way to 3rd causing confusion. Sliding will slow him down. It's not the worst idea. imho.
Another bad strike call
Pay him Hal, pay him
Soto!!!
HELL YEAH!
Score multiple runs, ffs! Don't lot Cobb off the hook.
Well we’re into the bullpen! For Better or worse
Yay! I’ll take it!
Still waiting on that key hit.
And I’ll take that too! Yay!
Still waiting.
I can’t believe VerduNo swung at that garbage
That’s 4 innings!
Ah, walking the terrorists worked.
Wild pitches are acceptable
My kingdom for a hit witih risp. This is try number 4 in the last week for Judge. Gleyber and Soto on base again for you again. Let's GO!
They might pull the catcher while they’re at it. Naylor ain’t helping.
Well he just missed. I’ll take the run though
meh.
Another bad strike call That’s 4
Sigh. That might have been out on another night.
I have not been frustrated with a 4-0 lead for since I don't know when.
And that’s 5 innings!
I approve.
Damn, the hits to right are just dying.
Ugh
Fucking bollocks.
Crap. At least it’s a solo shot
Ok that’s one of those gift strikes for us finaqlly
Phew! That’s 6 innings!
Yikes. Atta boy, Rodon!
Verdugo with another k on a pitch nowhere hear the zone.
Holmes? I do not want an ulcer
Phew, no runs by Holmes
7 innings!
Our bats have gone so sleepy.
YES!
Stanton you beast!
Stanton Comes Alive!
Big G goes BOOM!!!
Hi, Team! : )
[61] thelarmis!
Hello! ; )
[61]
Hi
Dr. Nickthelarmis[64] ???
Simpsons “Hi Dr. Nick”
Oh come on. Out
And here is when the failure with risp comes back to fuck over the Yankees.
That’s nonsense. He had no chance at getting to second
Bullshit
[66] acha
well, this is a bunch 'o bollocks : /
and, weaver is now having to warm...
Controversial call at first base in the ALCS against Cleveland? Seems like I’ve heard this one before…
fuck.
So it is possible.
Boone panics right away.
[73] At least no midges are involved
Dream Weaver!
Just keep him in the park.
Ferocious Jungle Cat!!!
NIIIIIICE!
That’s 8 innings!
[80] Yo! Fancy seeing you round these parts! ; )
[83] Hey, there! I know, right? Been meaning to message you, as it's easier than logging in here...
That's 13 postseason homers for Stanton in his Yankee career!
Come on, Gleyber - get Soto another AB!
psssssttttt... there a risp.
Well, now...let's hope Soto does *not* get another at-bat tonight!
Fail. again.
3 run lead, Holmes out of the game, ok, nail this down.
I don’t like that we had to pull Rizzo
Ugh, Taylor Swift sighting.
Defensive replacement for Rizz or are his fingers bothering him?
I don't mind the Taylor sighting in the slightest!
Weaver is wild
This can turn bad quickly.
I hate the leadoff walk. Speedy baserunner too. Weaver never walks anyone. Ruh-Roh...
Not too worried though. He's nails. Now, let's nail Naylor!
Howza bout a quick K, then roll the 2-Ball
I’d go defensive replacement. If his fingers are bothering him, he’s off the roster and not available for the WS.
There's part one!
Falling behind too much.
3-0 on this guy???
Gassed him up!
Two down
Use the force, Luke.
two down!!
i think between the cold weather and nice rips rizzo took, his fingers are barking a bit. should be okay tomorrow...
And that’s nine! Wooh!
Strike three!
Ferocious Jungle Cat for the Save!!!
Cheers, y'all! Great win. Shitty offense. Judge will hit, eventually.
Rodon was the star of tonight's show.
[111] Rodon rode on and was awesome tonight. Tried really hard to stay in check with his emotions. 25 swings and misses!!!
Let’s go Yankees!!!!
Give Cole some run support tonight!
Yikes.
Good first!
Good gleyber!
Soto being Soto!
Hey. I've seen this movie before. 5th time these 2 have been on in front of Judge with no outs?
The judge special. Lol
AMAZEBALLS.
Wells is struggling with high fast balls.
[122] Yup
Darn
The team is struggling to hit a gd single with anyone on base.
Unfortunately as expected.
0 for 4 with a guy on second in one inning! Sweet!
If we could hit with RISP we’d be so hard to beat.
Well, one.
Ok that’s two innings for Cole!
Volpe!
Rizzo! And nice running Volpe!
I like it! Time for disappointment!
A RISP hit! I like it.
Verdugo!! I can’t believe it!
It happened! It really happened!
Wow Judge gotta be pissed
That’s a quick hook
Just need any kind of hit here. C’mon Judge!
Ok, a sac fly, at least something
We’ll take it!
Ugh Wells
High strike, not surprising.
Wells is fucking brutal right now. sigh.
He’s chasing. Can’t hit high fast balls. Just not good right now.
Jose Ramirez is going to go yard off Cole tonight. That first at bat was scary.
[146] he has good #s against Cole so it’s scary indeed
Not a good time to lose the zone
The old shutdown inning.
Walk Ramirez! lol....
Just like Devers.
Well phew
Ok that’s three innings!
Damn. Didn’t work him enough there.
How do they both freaking miss? Yeesh. He's not getting thrown out anyway.
The Guardians may have to show the Yankees how to drive in 2 runs with a single.
Small fry.
Phew! That’s four innings!
Hot dog! Got a small break.
Exhale! Caught the upper right corner
Now work some at bats !
Ok nice work Gleyber!
Gleyber has been killing it!
Cleveland seems to have all the offensive momentum. Grrrrrr.....
EVERY FUCKING INNING!
Worrisome. Cole not dominant.
I’m getting tired of the traffic on the basepaths
That’s a fucking strike
The ace is choking away a 3-0 lead.
Jesus fuck
There’s no way Naylor is his listed 250 lbs. He looks enormous!
OMG.
Another strike…
Wells can't hit water if he fell out of a boat and now he's dropping 1st strikes.
22 to 22. Need a 2-ball now
So much for the conventional DP…
Fucking hell. 4.1? Ugh
Heart attack Holmes. Ugh. Not ideal.
Lame. Fucking Lame! It's doesn't help that the Yankees offense remains terrible.
4 walks + 6 hits. WHIP > 2 : /
Fielders need to be alert
[179] Not ideal.
Didn’t see this coming from Cole.
Holmes? Holmes?
Fall behind, Clay. It works every time. Walk everyone.
I do not need an ulcer.
Fucking fuck.
If he keeps walking people he won't give up a big hit.
Phew!
Some phew
Cardiac Clay has been really great so far this postseason!
Judge needs to damage coming up
Phew. Judge leading off. Maybe the pressure of not having someone on base will ease his pain.
He’s getting closer and closer to having his timing down.
Some 3 and 4 hitters…
That was a terrible inning
Well done, boys. Super inning.
Good thing we made their pitcher work.
Nice inning!
Rejoice!
Very nice, Tim Hill
Jazz!
SWEEET, SWEEET, JAZZ!
Me likey the Jazz!
Put on the jazz music … and score! ; )
Good at bat Volpe!
Oh, boy. Worst case scenario.
Serious speed on the basepaths!
This is why I’m a metalhead. Fuck Jazz! : /
Ugh, he’s out
You're out dummy. Put a star on that one. Way to fuck it up again, boys.
Jazz giveth and taketh away. That was fucking TERRIBLE.
Why did they challenge?
Fucking brutal. Completely stoopid
Imagine Rizz goes yard for the first time since, I dunno, 2016?!
Yes Rizzo!
I’ll take it! Should be 5-2 though…
Nice. Yankees keep scoring due to the shit play of their opponents.
[215] Jazz would have tripped rounding third and Volpe would've passed him so I'm not sure. ; )
Looks like they have regular sized water bottles in the dugout for the postseason. I’m here for the important reporting! ; )
[218] reporter: “Yankees struggling to hydrate due to nerves”
Omg dumb running errors
un-fucking-believable
Just fuck off with your stupid ass fucking base running. Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the fck.
Leaving multiple men on base wasn’t enough, they have to go and start giving away outs directly on the base paths.
Reporter: Yankee players drinking waaay too much water in the dugout, due to the larger bottles, and purposely get thrown out on the basepaths so they can go potty.
[224] haha.
Headline: Hitting Doubles Causes Yankees To Become Braindead Baserunners
I'm glad Tim Hill is still in. As a nocturnal creature, I end up watching a lot of West Coast baseball games - especially Dodgers and Padres - on my MLB phone app. The other year, it felt like every time I turned on a San Diego game, a long-haired Hill was either warming up in the bullpen or pitching on the mound. He's been a good pickup for us!
[227] he did well!
I'm not sure why Brian Anderson gets so much props. He's certainly no Joe Davis. He just said: NOW the Yankees go to their lefty. Here comes Kahnle.
Um, Tim Hill IS a lefty, though he bats right-handed. Kahnle is good for a lefty *lane*, but he's a RIGHTY. Jeesh.
Too many 2-0 counts tonight.
Phew
This ump has made a few random calls in favor of they Yanks.
Jesus. 6 walks thus far tonight.
Now Ramirez is assured of getting up in the 9th...
Not ideal walk there
Walks in late innings are super helpful. Especially with 2 outs.
[232] I'll take anything we can get
phew.
jazz made a couple of good plays that inning.
Ok good!
11 pitches for Tommy Tightpants. I imagine he begins the 8th?
top of the order. let's add some runs!
that pitch is high. not a strike.
Nice Gleyber!
Gleyber, man. He's killin' it!!!
Wizardy from Gleyber.
I heart Soto. Please come through, Oh Generational Juan!
So, 3 years $75 million for Gleyber? It is Cashman
Now Judge, please do good.
Judge has not hit with Gleyber and Soto on base. He has not hit with nobody on base. We'll see what happens with just Gleyber on 1st.
ALL RISE!!!
All rise!
HELL FUCKING YES!
[248] I’ll take it.
FINALLY!!!
[253] Knew he was going to unleash something!
[246] at this point, i'd do it. i doubt gleyber takes it. he's still so young and can probably do quite a bit better on the open market.
wells taking better rips this AB
Damn, hope that means Wells coming around too.
definitely a better at-bat for wells. that's promising.
tommy tightpants to dream weaver? or, do we see cousins and hamilton tonight?
[259] with the 4 run lead we have options at least for now.
Kahnle needs to throw strikes.
[261] ask and receive! K for Kahnle!
Jazz is Electric!
this fucking guy. : /
REPORTER: I must report - since it's my job - that I very much enjoy the mock-turtle longsleeve look on Captain Judge
Great! Just 3 more outs!
Changeup King!
Some insurance?
so much for cleveland's vaunted defense.
[268] as i saw that, tbs put up the progressive insurance ad. so, YES!
[259] Looks like it will be the dream Weaver, though maybe if some more runs come across...
Well take it
How about a 4-hit night for Gley?
Walking the hound while listening to the game with earbuds is a whole lot less stressful than watching on tv. I wonder if I can take a 3 hour walk on Thursday.
That was way high
Not a strike. Dammit.
what in the goddamn fuck was that, blue???
Real high strike there, blue.
[274] i hear ya
the ump needs to be forced to watch that. should also be docked and disallowed to call further playoff games. far beyond egregious.
Here comes The Ferocious Jungle Cat!
stop dropping strikes, wells
Get ahead. Throw strikes, please.
[282] Seriously
One down
one down!
Damn.
Gulp. That’s why you have insurance
ugh. you'll have that with hosey...
I knew that was coming. Ungood.
i'll miss thursday's game. i hate that it's an early start time. i'll be teaching the whole time...
Weaver really missed his spot on that homer pitch.
let's get two quick outs now.
There was gonna be a home run at some point... up by 4 and no on one base is as good a time as any.
two away!!
[291] I won’t have to miss my bed time. Which I’m doing right now.
Two.
i have my audio set to hear sterling's call!
three outs = 2-0 !!!
Wooh! 2-0.
Three, night all.
Hell yeah. Cheers, y'all. See ya Thursday.
