Yeah, so I forgot to get up a game thread in time yesterday but it didn’t make much difference—the Yanks can’t seem to score these days despite putting runners on base: they lost to the Mariners, 7-1 on Friday and 3-2 yesterday. Alex Rodriguez, in an early-season slump, looked especially weak yesterday, didn’t he? Carlos Beltran is the only guy really hitting but it hasn’t been enough.
Another lovely spring day today. Here’s hoping they can reverse their fortunes.
Never mind the nonsense:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Not starting out well
I truly believe that if I came up to bat against the Yankees, the entire team would shift to the left side of the field like I was Jose fucking Bautista. You know, because I'm right handed and we think every hitter in baseball is a dead ass pull hitter
Phew, only one run
gardy had that sb easy. Let's bring him home!
pathetic.
well damn that was quick and clean.
Nice. Way to snap out of that A-rod.
Ah, missed it
two efficient innings in a row for Tanaka. And Cano loafing to first on the groundout. Old times!
Nice SB
A hit with RISP!
nice nice nice! Thought Martin was going to get there but then it seemed to carry.
Tough error
Ouch
I was just at Target buying some whiffle ball stuff and a husband and wife were doing the same. The husband was complaining that his son wouldn't be able to hit anything. I said to them, "just like the Mets." Only because the guy was wearing a Mets jersey and hat. He laughed. : )
Yankee defense is really showing off today
Atta boy, Lil' G.
Perhaps Brett Gardner should try to steal a base off the guy that has ten caught stealings in his life
I'll take that
We'll take it.
C'mon, A Rod, you can do it!
Jeez, Alex, what are you looking for?
Okay, he's ahead, 2-1. Put a good swing on one now...
Fug.
Disturbing.
Good outing for Tanaka
Makes sense, with the off day tomorrow. I wouldn't have minded seeing another few pitches from Tanaka, but this is okay.
Damn. Yeah, it's just fine watching Betances.
Sweet!
Beata down!
Could Dellin be a starter? Because as fun as it is to watch the eighth with a lead, I feel like we're not getting as much out of him as we could. If he developed one more pitch?
Miller time
One down
Two down
Good.
Three down! 6Ks
It's almost unfair.
[32] "Miller Time" A time that gives me pleasure (baseball) and disgust (beer)
Nice win! Needed that to rebound from last few games.
That was to script. Nice win.
Can Betances be a starter? Let the mystery be.
Nice W.
Great win guys. Thanks for being there. I had to sleep, hated to miss my boy. Been juggling a cold with overseas visitors and a colossal work load. Fever's knocking on the door again today.
Hate to be a wet blanket, but I'd like to see some stats on how many first pitch HRs A-Rod had last year. It might my imagination (and fear of watching a declining giant) but he seems to connect at a much higher rate on the first pitch of a an AB anymore.
[42]Hey Boat, お大事に. I'm watching the game now, nice to see A-Rod's tater but man, Leiter and O'Neil are just awful. Al seems such a smig know-it-all and O'Neil's dumb-jock routine is maybe not a routine, how could he have never heard of the posting system for Japanese players?? He gets paid to watch baseball!
[42] I totally agree, Dude. I can't stand Leiter. Smarmy bastard. Ruins the game for me. O'Neil at least provides some decent insights on pitching and hitting, but he seems to be blissfully incurious about the world outside his universe.
