Garrett Jones as DH? I never heard of the guy before this year.
I believe he was a Bucco and Marlin. Has some power and a little versatility. Seems like a good guy. I hope he does well.
I think he averages ~15 longballs per season.
I missed what Leiter was saying there, what was the point he was making about "eliminating two guys from the fifth inning and beyond?"
He was part of the Eovaldi trade
Slow motion strike calls tonight.
sigh
Crap.
I want our Jones to do that tonight too.
[3] Not sure, but Al's a lefty, so . . .
Nice slider.
[2] yep, a bucco for a while there. Not a great player but makes some clutch hits.
ok that was better end to the inning. At least it was just one run.
Oh, I just figured it out, I think...I think he's talking about pitching around guys.
He just made the point about CC pitching around guys and earlier he said "Even Nolan Ryan said that" about "eliminating two guys from the fifth inning and beyond." When asked how many Leiter eliminated, he shot back, "Oh, about five."
That makes sense. "Eliminate" means "pitch around."
Nice double.
Hang tight, Didi!
Nice ab...
Get a hit now, you're locked in...
Oh, fuck me.
Aw jeez
Why did no one bunt on Shilling that game?
I guess that's the best we could have expected.
[18] That wouldn't have been sporting.
A long season.
[20] sigh
I had forgotten or didn't know or care that Masterson was back with Boston
Remember when Darryl hit that grand slam in that epic rally in '98? That was a pinch hit slam, wasn't it? Or am I misremembering?
The game we came back from like 9-0 in 9th or something?
God, 1998.
Has the leadoff runner been on in every inning?
Nice quick inning.
NIce hit, Teix.
Mark! Yay, a run!
Hot Tex
Looking for a single here Brian
CC's doing all right.
Oh come on!
OH, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!
THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE@
Are we certain number 18 isn't still Hiroki Kuroda? That would explain why he can't hit, field or run. Try to let him pitch.
E-6, again...
[34] Early contender for comment of the year!
[36] Yes.
As bad as this is, I have to watch the O's feed and be tormented by Palmer.
Ugh, lead off triple.
Sheeze, decent throw woulda had him.
Ellsbury just has no arm.
My God.
He really is worse than Bernie or Damon in that department.
[41] It may get stronger over the next six years of his contract, don't worry.
Damon was the worst
Carlos, a HR plz...
Dammit, first and third, Yankees can't score in such a situation.
Mark, a HR plz...
HE DROPPED THE BALL!!!
Mark! Tough error.
Is that a break I just saw?
Are we absolutely certain a double would score Teixeira here?
Dagnabit.
So does Ar*d pinch hit this inning?
Gregorio Petit is pinch hitting.
Guess so.
Come on, Alex!
Come on, Alex...you got this...
A HR plz, Alex?
Low.
Nice take.
Aaaah!
Fuck.
Yech.
Oh well. Night all.
We're going to have to take Gregorio Petit away from Joe Giardi, aren't we?
In a flashback to the worst of Girardi, Joe has determined that because he's right handed Petit must be Manny fucking Ramirez.
You have no idea how ballistic this makes me.
