5 pm start

2 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:09 pm

Let’s Go Yankees!

3 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:11 pm

Nice at bat for Gleyber! (With one favorable call)

4 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:13 pm

Damn. Thought that was gonna drop.

5 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:15 pm

Judge chasing like that isn’t normal.

6 knuckles   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:17 pm

Good multi pitch AB for Torres. Soto stings one, at the CF. Judge chases again. Hope the latter is a blip towards heating up.

7 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:19 pm

Wow that was low. Darn

8 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:20 pm

2 great at bats and 2 garbage at bats. And a line out in the gap.

9 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:25 pm

Ugh bad start here for Clarke. Bad break on that pop up

10 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:26 pm

Look out right field seats.

11 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:27 pm

Nice k!

12 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:29 pm

Nice job Schmidt!

13 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:29 pm

Ah, Cleveland caught the Yankees disease

14 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:33 pm

Terrible at bat by Berti

15 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:36 pm

Good at bat for Volpe

16 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:37 pm

Phew at second!

17 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:37 pm

He’s safe either way.

18 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:38 pm

Atta boy, Alex!

19 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:39 pm

Trevino!!

20 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:39 pm

My gob is smacked!

21 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:40 pm

Why the hell would Trevino be anywhere close to being caught at first?

22 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:41 pm

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

23 knuckles   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:41 pm

Jeezus. That is not the way to minimize your LOB stats.

24 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:42 pm

Damn right at Kwan.

25 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:43 pm

That's going to cost the Yankees. And why is the booth rooting so hard for Ckwveland? Yeesh.

26 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:45 pm

Trevino giveth and taketh.

27 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:47 pm

Good inning!

28 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:54 pm

Bleh

29 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 4:59 pm

Fuck. That's the easiest one he's had hit to him. Clank.

30 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:01 pm

Throw strikes!

31 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:02 pm

Fuck but saw that coming. Can;t fall behind like that

32 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:02 pm

3-1. That's what you get.

33 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:06 pm

Nice inning, Clark.

34 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:06 pm

Out getting MickeyD’s for supper
Yay Trevino
Boo Trevino
Now what hell is this?

35 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:10 pm

Safe

36 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:10 pm

He’s out but it;s so close they may not overturn it

37 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:12 pm

After watching the replays he's out
What's the point?

38 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:13 pm

Schmidt throwing balls after being up in the count

39 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:14 pm

A run saving play?

40 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:19 pm

Berti looks bad at the plate.

41 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:21 pm

Way to make this dude look like C.C. Sabathia.

42 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:22 pm

Left handers are ur kryptonite.

43 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:22 pm

*our

44 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:28 pm

Sigh

45 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:29 pm

Ok that works

46 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:33 pm

I guess getting hits is no longer in the game plan.

47 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:33 pm

Well we *had* worked Boyd;s pitch count up.

48 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:35 pm

Well this is fucking bollocks.

49 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:42 pm

Cool. A hit.

50 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:53 pm

Disappointing. We need offense but we have none

51 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:58 pm

Lead off walks no good

52 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:59 pm

He’s out at first

53 knuckles   ~  Oct 17, 2024 5:59 pm

Out.

54 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:00 pm

Phew, I worried his foot wasn’t on the bag looking at replays.

55 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:01 pm

Uh oh, injury

56 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:01 pm

Oh no, Hamilton hurt.

57 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:08 pm

Can't hit. Can't cut down the running game. Run into outs on the basepaths. Ugh.

58 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:09 pm

Sigh

59 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:10 pm

I feel like using Mayza in a big situation is mid-season nonsense. Not one run game in the playoffs stuff.

60 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:15 pm

Whew! That could have been worse

61 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:19 pm

Let’s try for some runs this half inning

62 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:20 pm

Ok lead off walk for us good

63 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:20 pm

Don't get picked off, Jazz!

64 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:21 pm

Terrible

65 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:22 pm

Not a strike

66 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:23 pm

Volpe!

67 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:30 pm

Wells likely pinch hitting for Trevino

68 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:31 pm

I didn’t like Mayza being in there that long

69 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:33 pm

Should have gone to Kahhle one batter ago.

70 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:36 pm

Nice!

71 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:39 pm

Kahnle!

72 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:43 pm

Gee I miss good Wells

73 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:43 pm

At least they're not going to get shutout.

74 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:46 pm

If Judge was hitting better I’d be more optimistic obviously. But as it is…

75 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:49 pm

All Rise! Tied up!!

76 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:50 pm

Wow ALL RISE!!!

77 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:52 pm

Belly to belly!

78 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:52 pm

Stantonian!!

80 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:54 pm

Haha, fuck off!

81 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:56 pm

Yeah jazz!

82 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:57 pm

Darn i wanted more. Greedy i am

83 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:57 pm

Why wouldn’t Rizzo bat for Berti there?

84 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 6:58 pm

A approve.

85 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:00 pm

Especially since Rizzo is in now

86 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:01 pm

Fuck : /

87 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:02 pm

Ugh

88 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:02 pm

Rizzo should have had that

89 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:02 pm

Defensive replacement should have been Waldo…

90 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:03 pm

Sterling calls him Rocky-oh, instead of ROW… Oy!

91 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:04 pm

Nice pick, Wells. Trevi would not have had that…

92 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:04 pm

Radio is ahead of TV. I have both on…

93 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:05 pm

[92] double umm audio? Or just radio audio?

94 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:06 pm

Come on blue

95 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:07 pm

4 out save time.

96 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:12 pm

Radio audio via MLB app + TBS on the tube

97 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:13 pm

Nice! Weaver!

98 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:13 pm

Strike three!
Now, some insurance

99 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:13 pm

[96] ok that makes more sense than me imagining double audio.

100 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:13 pm

Phew! And … whew!

Good eye, kid

102 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:19 pm

Sterling calls him Vol-PAY

103 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:21 pm

Volpe with the bump and slide!

104 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:21 pm

Huh? Bizarre, but acceptable

105 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:22 pm

How are they going to screw this up? Triple play?

106 knuckles   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:22 pm

Another would-be stupid base running move.
Make them pay, Wells.

107 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:22 pm

As Sterling said yesterday, the Yankees run the basepaths like drunks! That stumble was safe!!!

108 RIYank   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:23 pm

I am officially ACCEPTING that... result. Whatever it was.
I do not feel that we should let our pride get in the way of a nice second-and-third-nobody-out situation.

109 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:23 pm

We need to plate BOTH of these sots!!

110 RIYank   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:23 pm

thelarmis!!!!
I came to accept just in time!

111 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:23 pm

Hi, RI !!! : )

112 RIYank   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:24 pm

Dammit. Strikeout not acceptable.

113 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:24 pm

I forgot Wells was up. He can't put the bat on the ball.

114 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:24 pm

Crap. Must make them pay with the top of the order!

115 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:24 pm

Not sure how you get Wells right in the middle of the playoffs. He’s not right at all.

116 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:28 pm

I like how Gleyber apologized to the ump on that. Definitely a strike

117 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:29 pm

Ok that works!

118 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:29 pm

There’s one run

119 RIYank   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:29 pm

Acceptable.

120 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:29 pm

Nice work, Gleyber.

121 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:30 pm

Very productive out, Gleyber!

122 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:32 pm

And that’s it

123 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:32 pm

Damn, wanted more judge

124 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:32 pm

Now it is a strike? Kahnle would like a word.

125 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:32 pm

Christ. Paint a picture before you ring him up.

126 RIYank   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:32 pm

[123] Yeah.
But now I don't.

That strike three to Soto, bottom of his kneecaps... that's been a ball all night. For both teams.

127 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:32 pm

Really wanted to cash in both runners, but I’ll take the two run lead with Hosie leading off. Worst he can do is make it a one run game…

128 RIYank   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:33 pm

[124] Exactly.

129 RIYank   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:35 pm

Ugh.
That was unexpected.

130 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:35 pm

Argh

131 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:36 pm

Broken fingers - should not be defensive replacement

132 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:37 pm

Bootsie.

133 RIYank   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:37 pm

Ooh fuck yes.

Goddam. That was very, very satisfying. Nice job, boys.

134 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:37 pm

Phew, DP!

135 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:37 pm

Beautiful!

136 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:37 pm

Rolled the 2-ball !!

137 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:37 pm

Nice freaking play. The anti-Mo!

138 RIYank   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:37 pm

(Just the GIDP -- still one out to go for the *real* 'good job boys'.)

139 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:39 pm

Ah, 19 foot wall.

140 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:40 pm

Omg that was bad

141 RIYank   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:41 pm

Sigh.

142 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:41 pm

Shit shit shit

143 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:41 pm

Fuck

144 RIYank   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:41 pm

Well, we do get to see more Judge.

I hope!

145 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:41 pm

FUCK

146 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:42 pm

[144] i hope so

147 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:42 pm

Easy come easy go.

148 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:45 pm

Come on, Kid

153 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:54 pm

Crap

154 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:57 pm

Misery.

155 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:58 pm

Holmes make sense at this point but I’m already too nervus.

156 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:58 pm

This isn't going to last long.

157 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:58 pm

Uh oh indeed

158 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:58 pm

Not a good start…

159 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:59 pm

Weaver and Holmes have pitched in every postseason game thus far, methinks

160 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 7:59 pm

That play developed slowly…

1 out

161 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 8:00 pm

Could have gotten him out at third?

Please get out of this.

162 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2024 8:01 pm

FUCK!!! : (

163 RIYank   ~  Oct 17, 2024 8:01 pm

Yeesh.

164 jaynek   ~  Oct 17, 2024 8:01 pm

Well that’s Holmes

165 RIYank   ~  Oct 17, 2024 8:02 pm

Clay Holmer.

166 RIYank   ~  Oct 17, 2024 8:02 pm

Gotta get 'em tomorrow!

167 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 17, 2024 8:02 pm

Yanks didn't deserve to win this game despite the heroics of Judge and Stanton. Their offense continues to suck donkey balls.

168 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 17, 2024 8:03 pm

I guess neither team's bullpen is special today.

169 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2024 8:05 pm

This is not the result I expect when I go walk the terrorists

170 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 17, 2024 8:12 pm

Both teams scored 4 runs after the 8th inning. That was crazy. Could have used that additional run in the bottom of the ninth.

171 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 17, 2024 8:13 pm

er, top of the ninth.

172 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:05 pm

Let’s do this Yankees!

173 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:08 pm

C'mon Gil!

174 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:10 pm

Dear Yankees:

Please fucking win. Score lots of runs.

Many thanks,
Thelarmis

175 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:10 pm

Gleyber nice start!

176 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:10 pm

Gleyber has been really great!

177 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:12 pm

Yeah Soto!

178 knuckles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:12 pm

Good start. Keep it up

Soto! So fine.

180 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:14 pm

S-O-T-O SOTO!!!

I love him!

181 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:17 pm

That was calming. Dammit, Jazz!

182 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:20 pm

Pound the zone. Get ahead.

183 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:22 pm

Fucking fuck

184 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:22 pm

Sterling always calls Cleveland The Indians

185 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:23 pm

[184] i hate that he does that

186 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:27 pm

24 more outs to go, without giving up a run…

187 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:27 pm

Phew. That was a huge recovery for Gil.

188 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:27 pm

Ok, Gil’s location was a bit off early but hopefully he settles down now.

189 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:29 pm

Yup, and his velocity is there, so that’s good

190 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:33 pm

Don’t sit curve and not swing at fastball

191 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:33 pm

Wells gets that run back

Wells!

Got that run back!!!

196 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:34 pm

YEAH, BABY!

197 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:36 pm

Settle down and settle in, Gil.

198 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:36 pm

What was that celebration from Wells and Rizzo? haha

199 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:37 pm

I was just thinking the same thing, ha! I bet Jomboy Media will be all over that ‘celly’!

200 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:37 pm

I’ll never forget this. When I was a kid playing little league, I had a coach who used to soften the blow when kids were hitting at the bottom of the lineup. He wouldn’t say someone was hitting eighth, for example, he’d call it “second cleanup.” Wells just went from first cleanup to second cleanup. No biggie.

That wasn’t close, Gil. I hope he wasn’t showing the ump up there…

Those 97 & 98 4-seam fastballs up in the zone are pretty electric. Let’s not allow them to creep middle-middle. Thank you, please!

206 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:43 pm

Two Austin catchers. (My reporting skills at their finest!)

207 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:44 pm

Walking hedges not good.

208 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:44 pm

Don’t walk the light-hitting second cleanup batter to face the on-fire second leadoff batter. Frick!

209 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:45 pm

That was a strike

210 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:45 pm

Phew. Whew, even.

211 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:46 pm

My heart goes phew

212 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:46 pm

Yikes.

213 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:47 pm

Gil is still missing location.

214 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:49 pm

That was a ball

215 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:51 pm

I guess the Yanks will be seeing a lot of the Guardian pen.

216 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:53 pm

None of their main bullpen arms threw more than 18 pitches, but we’re pretty familiar with them by this point.

We’re probably gonna throw Leiter, Cousins, and Stroman after Gil. Need more runs!!!

217 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:54 pm

Crap. Lefty vs Judge.

218 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:56 pm

Shit. Quick, clean inning from Gil, please

219 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 7:57 pm

The no name rookie is going to be our kryptonite. Always is.

220 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:00 pm

I feel like they are squaring up Gil too much

221 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:00 pm

Kwan is such a fucking pest

222 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:03 pm

[221] If you need a hit Kwan is the one in this lineup. Maybe not XBH.

223 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:05 pm

Ok I’ll take that call

224 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:06 pm

Fuck.

225 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:06 pm

Damn it

226 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:06 pm

Fucking bollocks!

227 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:06 pm

Walk/single + SB = XBH for the fucking pest: /

228 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:09 pm

Jesus Fucking Christ with the goddamn walks already.

229 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:10 pm

He swung

230 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:11 pm

61 pitches in less than 3 innings. Barely 50% strikes. 3 walks, 1 strikeout. Hill warming to replace Gil.

231 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:12 pm

Gil has zero command.

232 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:14 pm

This is brutal.

233 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:14 pm

I doubt Gil comes out for the 4th…

234 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:15 pm

Yes! Ok enough Gil lol

235 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:15 pm

Well, if that’s all we see of Gil tonight, at least he limited the damage. That felt like a big moment there.

236 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:16 pm

Hmm, walking the terrorists not working. And Hamilton done for the year, can’t come back for the WS. So, Leiter. Which is probably mandated in baseball by rules somewhere that a Leiter has to be in the postseason

237 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:20 pm

[236] nothing i do right now feels like it’s working lol. But the superstitious in me keeps trying.

238 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:30 pm

Thanks for bunting

239 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:31 pm

Wow a really good inning and i thought he was done

240 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:32 pm

Well, how ‘bout that? A quick, easy, 1-2-3 inning for Gil!

241 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:32 pm

Did not see that shutdown inning coming. Does he dare send him out for the fifth?

242 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:33 pm

Good comeback.

243 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:33 pm

Yankee pitchers have hit the wall in the 5th several times this post-season.

244 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:36 pm

In important reporting news: Eli Morgan is not a good baseball name. Fine for a lawyer, though.

245 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:39 pm

This strike zone is ridiculous.

246 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:40 pm

Guardian pitchers have no trouble getting these guys out.

247 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:40 pm

Unfortunately, he’s good at throwing an orb.

Can’t have Gil face the top of the lineup again…right?!

248 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:45 pm

Beautiful.

249 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:47 pm

Horse shit.

250 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:51 pm

More runs please

251 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:54 pm

Soto Shuffle!

252 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:55 pm

He’s so fucking good. Unbelievable, really.

Come on, Cap. Hit it out!

253 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:56 pm

Alright, cash them in, Jazz

254 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:56 pm

Let the games begin!

255 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:57 pm

Stanton!

256 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:57 pm

Make this bunt stand up

257 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:57 pm

BIG G!!!

258 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:58 pm

WOW STANTON!

259 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:58 pm

Kaboom! That was fucking awesome.

260 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 8:59 pm

Remember when there were people out there (and here) who wanted to DFA Stanton?

261 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:00 pm

[260] I didn’t do that but I’ve been worried about him going into the post-season but he has found his swing! So happy for that!

262 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:00 pm

And by the way — Bombers.

263 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:01 pm

[261] I think everyone knows who I’m talking about.

264 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:02 pm

The Fox!

265 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:04 pm

[260] He can be very streaky. When he is not swinging at the pitch off the plate and low, he is a formidable hitter.

266 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:06 pm

Yeah, it’s weird. During that at bat I was wondering why people aren’t throwing him those sliders off the plate anymore. I mean, that’s his kryptonite.

267 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:08 pm

Stanton, by all accounts, is just a really good guy and human off the field. He’s handled New York very well and deserves a lot of respect.

He and I also have very similar physiques. (That last sentence may or may not be true…)

268 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:09 pm

In case you missed this fun fact, Stanton has seven career hits in this park, all seven are home runs.

269 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:09 pm

[266] I think he’s an afterthought these days, which makes him dangerous

270 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:12 pm

When will TBS learn that the ump cam is the absolute worst view for a live shot? It’s beyond stupid.

271 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:12 pm

Stanton now has the same amount of postseason homers as Babe Ruth, in 6 fewer games! 15 in 35

272 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:12 pm

[270] oh my i hate it so much. I’m used to the outfield view and i can see the whole play well

273 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:13 pm

[271] that’s amazing!

274 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:13 pm

We just need a grand slam for the Homer Cycle!

275 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:14 pm

I like Cousins and am glad he’s healthy enough to pitch for us this postseason

276 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:15 pm

Excellent.

277 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:16 pm

Ok that’s 6 innings!

278 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:17 pm

[274] I could accept that.

279 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:20 pm

Damn. That was a really nice DP

280 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:22 pm

Annoyed we let that pitcher off easy

281 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:26 pm

Gotta throw strikes

282 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:27 pm

Can’t get this fucking guy out, damnit. Now, it’s the fucking pest. Bollocks

283 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:27 pm

Really curious to see how Boone is going to put together these last nine outs.

284 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:27 pm

Lame.

285 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:27 pm

Not easy to double these two up. Holmes warming to get some wormburners (hopefully)…

286 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:29 pm

No bueno. Get him outta there. Don’t give them life and make this close

287 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:29 pm

Still curious.

288 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:30 pm

Just saw another cool note… Big G joins Reggie as the only Yankee player to ever hit 4+ homers in a postseason multiple times. Amazing!

289 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:30 pm

I bet Scott Proctor is rested. Holmes?

290 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:33 pm

Ok that’s one out.

291 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:34 pm

Nice!

292 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:34 pm

If Proctor is unavailable, what’s Tanyon The Canyon doing these days?

293 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:36 pm

please get hosie out...

294 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:36 pm

Kyle Farnsworth.

295 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:36 pm

fucking hell. FUCK!

296 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:37 pm

[294] nah, he's busy playing xfl or in some random wrestling league!

297 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:38 pm

Chance of ulcer increasing

298 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:38 pm

Holmes gonna blow this. Feels bad. I just don’t trust him.

299 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:38 pm

i don't like this at all.

300 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:38 pm

no one is warming, correct?

tim mayza is up. that's right. so is leiter. doesn't help my blood pressure

302 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:39 pm

motherfucker. this is brutal : /

303 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:39 pm

TAKE HIM OUT!

304 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:40 pm

That Grand Slam is now a necessity

305 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:40 pm

cleveland is sooo frustrating to play in october. always...

306 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:41 pm

[303] yes. NOW!

[304] i am all for it.

307 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:41 pm

Cleveland looks better overall tonight.

308 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:41 pm

Mayza coming in for the lefty lane. have to...

309 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:42 pm

The Titanic is sinking.

310 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:42 pm

wait. leiter? WTF? 3 lefties are due up!!!

boone is beyond terrible. this is horseshit.

311 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:42 pm

Omg no good choices here

312 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:44 pm

Boone does not have the touch. Maybe it would have been same if Holmes started inning, but whatever he is doing is not working.

313 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:46 pm

Omg I thought that was gone

314 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:46 pm

Breathe

315 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:46 pm

Wow. I was certain that was gone. Certain.

316 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:47 pm

[313] same. i can't believe it stayed in the park

317 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:49 pm

lead in tact. need more runs. lots of them. loads and loads of runs.

anyone here have the keys to the Score Truck?!

318 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:49 pm

Omg whew

319 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:49 pm

If only Stanton could bat every inning.

320 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:50 pm

I'd like Mikey Moose to come in and get the last 6 outs.

321 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:51 pm

[319] well, he will be third this inning. hopefully, give us a 4-run lead, as opposed to this rather tenuous 1-run...

322 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:55 pm

that call at least caused him to throw a few extra pitches...

323 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:56 pm

jazz looked awful there... : (

324 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:56 pm

Sad at bats.

325 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:57 pm

stanton looked worse... :_(

326 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:58 pm

how do we get 6 outs without giving up a run?

327 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:58 pm

gotta get bo naylor out. after that, it's a tough go...

328 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 9:59 pm

I’m fighting negative thoughts right now.

329 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:00 pm

leiter still in. um...not really sure how to feel about this. what else can we do?

330 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:01 pm

Out of gas.

331 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:01 pm

you've gotta be kidding me. TERRIBLE fucking hitter. the ONE guy you can easily get out. FUCKING FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!

332 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:01 pm

The problem is that Cleveland has good relievers left and the Yankees do not.

333 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:01 pm

We really riding on Leiter for this?

334 OldYanksFan   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:02 pm

I tuned in yesterday just as the Yanks scored their last run, going up 5-3. Then the nightmare began... giving us a historically brutal loss. And holy shit!!! we may be there again.

335 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:02 pm

sooo fucking awful. who's warming up?

336 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:03 pm

please pull a J-Rod @ 3rd base(ment)

337 OldYanksFan   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:03 pm

Kwan is a very hard guy to strike out....

338 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:04 pm

[332] true.

[333] ridiculous.

339 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:04 pm

I guess Kahnle and Mayza are still available.

340 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:04 pm

great, the fucking pest is up.

341 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:05 pm

It’s shocking that Leiter is in the eighth inning of a playoff game.

342 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:05 pm

WAHOO!!!

343 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:06 pm

you've gotta be kidding me.

344 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:06 pm

Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.

345 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:06 pm

347 knuckles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:07 pm

Unbelievable.

348 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:07 pm

Rizzo?

349 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:07 pm

he got out of it. and fucked it all straight to hell.

350 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:07 pm

Sweet play.

351 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:07 pm

oswaldo needs to be playing first

Jeebus H E double hockey stick fragging Cristabol!

353 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:08 pm

Rizzo should have caught that.

354 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:08 pm

Still can’t believe Leiter is in there.

355 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:08 pm

double-plus ungood

356 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:09 pm

was beeter hurt? can't believe they didn't give an error on that. should have been two errors

357 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:09 pm

Ok tie game. We can do this.

358 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:10 pm

I swear that was the most flukish play I’ve ever seen.

359 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:10 pm

oh, great - clase. we have who - stroman?

360 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:10 pm

It was a hit and an error to allow him to get to second.

361 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:13 pm

The pesky Guardians keep coming after you.

362 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:13 pm

i'll take the single, but two nights in a row with bad defense for rizzo. MUST pinch run.

363 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:13 pm

At least Rizzo can hit even if he can't field.

364 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:14 pm

DON'T GET PICKED OFF!!!

365 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:14 pm

String some hits together ffs.

beautiful, kid!!! now - SCORE!

367 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:15 pm

Steal second. don't hit into a dp...

fuck. is he hurt? is he out? challenge? injury?

ok, safe. please be alright.

369 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:17 pm

single, please. sac fly that scores and advances the runners.

NO unproductive outs.

370 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:18 pm

FUCK!!! : /

371 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:18 pm

Wells is a punchline despite his homer. Oi!

372 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:18 pm

That’s karma right there.

373 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:19 pm

A run!

374 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:19 pm

Woooh! Verdugo with the squib but it worked!

375 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:19 pm

give it right back to these fuckers. YEAH!!!

376 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:20 pm

shit. sterling just said leiter is gonna start the 9th and no one is warming up right now

377 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:20 pm

Gleyber!!!!!

378 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:20 pm

GLEYBER, yeah baby!!!

379 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:20 pm

It is gleyber day!

380 rbj   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:21 pm

Gleyber with insurance

381 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:21 pm

uh-oh. gleyber's hurt? waldo running for him???

382 knuckles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:21 pm

Gleyber is IT!

383 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:21 pm

Gleyber has become The Man.

384 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:21 pm

berti will play second, his 'natural' position; oswaldo at first.

who's on the mound??? ramiro mendoza?!

385 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:22 pm

[383] he sure has!

386 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:22 pm

Why pinch run for Torres?

387 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:22 pm

bury them, soto!

388 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:23 pm

ack. c'mon, cap!

389 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:23 pm

Will Jazz finally do something?

390 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:23 pm

avila warming up without a hat on? strange!

why isn't Tommy Tightpants warming???

391 jaynek   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:24 pm

This move makes sense. Jazz is the weak link.

[390] I noticed that several times where the other guy hands they reliever their hat. Probably 5 times this series.

Damn. I wanted more.

Oh, well.

397 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:26 pm

Wanted more. Every cleveland swing is dangerous.

398 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:26 pm

I really thought Soto was gonna salt this away.

399 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:27 pm

So who closes? Kahnle?

400 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 18, 2024 10:27 pm

439 thelarmis   ~  Oct 18, 2024 11:01 pm

according to the *amazing* Sarah Langs, the Yankees have a whopping 48 walks thus far this postseason. which ties the '98 Yanks for the most in 8 playoff games.

i think the dodgers are pretty close this year, but am not positive.

440 jaynek   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:01 pm

Let’s go Yankees! One more game please!

441 jaynek   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:02 pm

Well, five more overall please

442 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:07 pm

444 jaynek   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:11 pm

Bad start for the ump

Nice work gleyber!

446 rbj   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:13 pm

Damn, aggressive baserunning

447 jaynek   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:13 pm

Bad send. Judge and Stanton are up next

448 knuckles   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:13 pm

Drunk, again. This time the third base coach.

449 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:13 pm

I guess not a bad send there. But another out on the base paths.

450 thelarmis   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:14 pm

FUCK!!! Why send him? He’s a terrible baserunner.

451 thelarmis   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:16 pm

Goddamnit

452 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:20 pm

OMG ... NOSTRA!!!!!!!

453 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:21 pm

[450] No, he just seems fatter and slower than I remember

454 rbj   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:21 pm

Of course no runs, sigh

455 jaynek   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:22 pm

Darn

456 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:22 pm

I know there were no runs scored, but I still don’t mind that send. It took an absolute perfect relay, and he was out by about an inch. Run that back twenty times and I bet he scored nineteen.

457 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:25 pm

[456] I was also OK with the send ... when I saw the ball bouncing near the wall I was yelling ... send, Send, SEND!

So ... I cannot complain that they did.

458 jaynek   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:26 pm

Strike out of Kwan. Impressive

459 rbj   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:28 pm

[456] Besides, second and third with no outs? How often does this team not score in that situation

460 thelarmis   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:28 pm

Cult!!!

461 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:29 pm

[459] Excellent, if unfortunate, point.

462 jaynek   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:30 pm

Excellent first inning for Rodon!

463 thelarmis   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:30 pm

Nice!!!

464 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:33 pm

Volpe, Wells, Verdugo ... a veritable Murderer's Row ... of any hope for runs

465 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:35 pm

Wells needs a Code Red ... strewth.

466 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:36 pm

I am NOT sanguine for his future

467 thelarmis   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:36 pm

VWV - Volks Wagon Vehicle

468 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:38 pm

[467] Like ... I think hitters should be graded by the consistent level of execution you'd need to get them out.

I'd have to think Wells is a D+/C- at best.

469 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:38 pm

Bibbe attacked the strike zone that inning.

470 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:39 pm

He swung at a pitch at least 2 inches above the zone and then took one right down the middle.
Sheesh.
But we can't play Trevino because the Not-Indians would run all over him.
Sigh

471 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:49 pm

I am NOT hopeful ... obviously ... Cleveland is going to win the battle of fatties running the bases tonight.

472 thelarmis   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:50 pm

What a bunch of fucking bollocks

473 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 19, 2024 7:53 pm

Love it when a guy has a 10 pitch ab and turns it into a hit or walk. Better if it is a Yankee, though. Nice AB.

474 thelarmis   ~  Oct 19, 2024 8:00 pm

What a boatload of fucking bollocks

475 thelarmis   ~  Oct 19, 2024 8:04 pm

Great, a leadoff walk and now the fucking pest is up

476 thelarmis   ~  Oct 19, 2024 8:05 pm

Throw a fucking strike! That’s 6 in a row

477 jaynek   ~  Oct 19, 2024 8:07 pm

Ugh need to calm my heart rate and this game isn’t helping. C’mon Yankees! For my health!

478 jaynek   ~  Oct 19, 2024 8:09 pm

Ok good 3rd for Rodon!

479 thelarmis   ~  Oct 19, 2024 8:18 pm

Crap.

480 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 19, 2024 8:18 pm

I miss the top of the first.

481 rbj   ~  Oct 19, 2024 8:18 pm

Buckus walking the terrorists.

By the by, Bandit had his follow up visit for his eyes. Left eye is back to normal for tear production. Right is still at zero. Up the ointment, adding an antibiotic ointment, and a referral to an animal ophthalmologist.
Wait, what?
Yup they do exist, and such a specialization can’t be cheap.

482 jaynek   ~  Oct 19, 2024 8:23 pm

Easy goes it for the 4th!

483 jaynek   ~  Oct 19, 2024 8:23 pm

487 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 19, 2024 8:27 pm

Something!
Now he'll probably get himself picked off

Dammit, Jazz. I kinda like him a lot and really hope he starts a postseason hot streak, beginning with his next A-B

524 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 19, 2024 9:04 pm

Guardians could be up 3 games to 1 if they had just walked Stanton every time he comes up.

525 thelarmis   ~  Oct 19, 2024 9:09 pm

Walk the huge guy that NEVER walks. Leadoff no less. Fuck Leiter

526 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 19, 2024 9:09 pm

They should just bring new pitchers in for a clean inning. It seems like when they start the next inning they give up a walk or a hit.

Ok, kept my eyes open. Pay him, Hal

577 thelarmis   ~  Oct 19, 2024 10:36 pm

SOTO!!!

578 thelarmis   ~  Oct 19, 2024 10:37 pm

I was gonna say Soto needs to send us to the Whirled Serious, but didn't want to jinx it.

HE DID IT!!!

579 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 19, 2024 10:37 pm

Blank check.

580 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 19, 2024 10:37 pm

HE DID IT!!!

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... have you MET our bullpen?
Talk to me in 3 outs.

581 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 19, 2024 10:38 pm

That at bat was simply phenomenal. One of the best you’ll ever see.

582 knuckles   ~  Oct 19, 2024 10:39 pm

If they hold on tonight, they need to put Judge in front of the wildest, sketchiest pitching machine in the five boros this week and crank that thing up to 11.

583 thelarmis   ~  Oct 19, 2024 10:41 pm

of course, it's the fucking pest and top of the order.

nothing's easy...

Now I don't know WHAT I want to happen tomorrow

602 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 19, 2024 10:59 pm

EITHER WAY?

This will be one of the two matchups I wanted the most going into the playoffs

Yankees vs Dodgers OR Mets

That's some PRIME classic baseball, right there.

603 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 19, 2024 11:03 pm

[601] Oh, that's easy. Mets win and they play Game 7. Whichever team wins the NL, having them play another 2 games is the thing.

604 knuckles   ~  Oct 19, 2024 11:06 pm

1. I want the Mets. Fall 2000 was one of the most fun of my life, was working in Manhattan at the time, and NY truly felt like the center of the universe for a bit. Bonus is that I’ve managed to add a Mets fan brother in law since then, so that’s fun too.

2. The on field AL trophy presentation is a little weird, esp on the road. I prefer the Stanton (Jeter-esque) take that nothing is really done yet.

605 monkeypants   ~  Oct 19, 2024 11:09 pm

Well I suppose if the Yankees clinch the pennant, I should show up after a few years away to say Go Yanks!

Nostalgic me hopes for a Dodgers-Yankees series.

606 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 19, 2024 11:11 pm

[604] Re 2, weird for sure. I did enjoy seeing how Stanton was trying to hide a bit even knowing he couldn't - they all knew he was the ALCS MVP, including him - and the look of absolute joy on Judge's face the entire time.

607 IL Yankee Fan   ~  Oct 19, 2024 11:17 pm

[603]. Home field against Mets but Dodgers have Home Field in that matchup. Let's go game 7.

608 thelarmis   ~  Oct 19, 2024 11:19 pm

[605] monkeypants!!!

609 thelarmis   ~  Oct 19, 2024 11:20 pm

we're going to the Whirled Serious!!!

I blacked out as Soto was rounding the bases, after I saw the ball bounce into the stands, then threw out my lower back celebrating! I also lost my voice. Damn, I'm old!

610 monkeypants   ~  Oct 19, 2024 11:27 pm

[608] The one and the same!!!

611 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 19, 2024 11:42 pm

Jazz Chisholm: “Pay my guy! Pay Juan Soto!”

Amen.

612 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 19, 2024 11:45 pm

I was at a comic club tonight. I only saw the 10th inning. Holy shite! Cheers, y'all! A lot goes down in 15 years. Go Yankees!

613 jaynek   ~  Oct 20, 2024 10:36 am

I can’t believe how much of a role Mark Leiter played. And successfully!

614 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 21, 2024 2:49 pm

Dodgers-Yankees. Finally.

I became a Yankees fan in 1977 when our gym coach made everyone choose a team and promised "no calisthenics" each day to the winners. I chose wisely. (It's the dumbest ever reason to become a fan or just as good as any other reason. I've never been able to decide, but we lived 250 miles from any MLB team. Regardless, it made me a fan of baseball too). The Dodgers played a big role and so did Reg-gie! Reg-gie!

By 1978 I was a real fan of the Yankees and followed them closely all that tumultuous summer. I remember running home from school to see Bucky hit that homer on a TV with snowy reception. The 2-0 deficit in the World Series and the comeback was pretty much the season in a nutshell. And when Munson caught the final out against the Dodgers in Game Six it turned into the greatest season ever.

In 1981 I was miserable for 50 days during that strike but ecstatic when the season resumed. The playoffs were a bit of a blur, but I remember watching the series from our couch since I had Chicken Pox. This time the Yanks led 2-0 and then were overcome by Fernandomania and some timely hitting. If I remember correctly George Frazier took three losses. The Boss broke his hand in an elevator after the series. I was 14 then and have been waiting 43 years for the Yanks to face the Dodgers again.

Let's Go Yank-ees!
