LET'S GO YAN-KEES!! !!!

GO SEVY!!!

What's the big deal about Bauer going on 3 days of rest? That used to be the normal amount of rest between starts.

He can't be any worse! Let's Go, Luis!

Wow lotsa rain

should they really be playing right now? doesn't seem like a good idea

[2] Bauer, himself, prefers it.

Anyone know why Rizzo was screaming "respect me" after his run scoring go ahead bloop hit? He yelled it twice after getting caught in a rundown. There's gotta be some backstory there I don't know about.

Really hoping to see a game tonight. I'll be working nights Tues/Wed/Thurs.

There's more than a 10 second delay between the radio and TV broadcasts. Wow!!

Finish him!

Luis has lasted three times longer than his last start

Phew. I don't see Bauer's clown curveballs killing the Yanks again. Unless he flips his m.o. 180 degrees and throws them all out of whack.

i didn't realize the time and have been caught up on the NL game. missed the top of the foist!

nats down to their last out. would be cool if werth goes yard and ties it! full count...

cy bauer. sigh...

Make him work here.

didi with another walk!

Good take, Didi.

weak.

This ump has already called about 3 strikes on pitches Luis got squeezed on last start.

NOW Girardi is checking out a replay. Oy.

nice, sevy!

Look at Johnny Bench back there. Good save.

oh, and: nice block, gary! :)

Nice! The Gas Face!

Nice, Sevvy

for the first time all series, a yankee pitcher is getting calls on the edge of the strike zone

[21] i know, right?!

mlbn gave him props last night. well deserved too! passed balls are important and it's an issue with him, but he calls a fine game, is an above average pitch framer, and has a fucking *canon* for an arm that's quite accurate. and for regular pitches, he seems to be a fine receiver. and his bat is unbelievable. he deserves a lot more credit and love. oh, and trust from his idiot fucking manager about when to review a phantom HBP!

Sevy!

that should be a hit.

That has to be an E5.

oof. that's gotta hurt!

called an error. huh. it was scalded.

Gotta be a hit

Ouch. That's got to hurt.

Tough error

[27]-[30] Ha!

i figured the hometown scorer would call that a hit. i wouldn't be surprised if it gets changed in the next few minutes. either way, it's a baserunner with 1-out...

remember when headley was kinda hot at the plate...?

runner in scoring position.

plate him.

c'mon, toddfather. do it for tom's river!

Sit curveball. Sit curveball. Sit curveball. Sit curveball. Sit curveball. Sit curveball. Sit curveball. Sit curveball. Sit curveball. Sit curveball. Sit curveball. Sit curveball.

todfather!!!

Toddfather!

he laced that. game of inches. clearly fair!

wait, no thumbs down?

nice changeup.

That's not a strike!

he wasn't close to going around. i hate all these checks to the line umps.

Sit curveball. Sit curveball. Sit curveball.

FUCK YEAH!!!

i dig hicks!

A-ARON!

haha bauer is pissed about that checked swing call. it could have gone either way.

Run up his pitch count

A hit, Judge.

Just. A. Hit.

keep the hits a-comin', fellas.

more runs, please!

C'mon, Judge! Raise the roof!

[48] he wasn't close to going.

just pauer the ball outta the damn stadium!

Finally getting to watch a game!

you know he's gonna throw a bender. expect it, sit on it, CRUSH IT!!!

[55] who let this guy in here?

i'll accept a 2-run single.

[57] Hey, I *love* the idea that Sanchez has [26] a canon for an arm!
It's a four-part canon. Maybe it's an endlessly rising canon!

i just put in earplugs, in case judge goes boom and i let out a guttural scream

I am going to be listening hard next time Gary throws, I know that.

Groove one you putz.

[59] i prefer music to violence. i hate guns and stuff. i figured no one would notice the missing en. then, you had to come along...

and, hey, pachalbel!

[61] maybe you'll hear the sound of a ball hitting the knob of a bat.

A two run ruling!

THERE WE GO!!!

Yes!

That was a good sound right there! I'll listen to that!

[58] Will a double do?

Adios, bauer.

What a great ab.

Yay, this is when I *love* IBBs!

Rats!

I guess three days' rest ain't what it used to be.
I guess *preferring* three days' rest isn't all that relevant.

Woo-Hoo! I an lovin' this. Something's coming....maybe toniiiiight!

quick inning here would be great

Someone in the stands had a sign "In Girardi We Trust." So now he's a genius for starting Tanaka in Game 3? I'm not complaining.

The proverbial shut down inning. Get the tribe back playing defense asap, Sevi!

Whoooooosh!

[69] sure, why not!

glad i put my plugs in. i screamed LOUDLY! hurt my hand clapping. my daughter made it downstairs in time to see the replay.

keep it up, sevy!

This is Lovable Luis.

[77] huh. how many signs with the opposite message? was he roundly booed again during the pregame introductions?

[81] to be fair, luis has a canon too. tenor, methinks.

[82] Roundly booed!
Like, in a canon?

I like it!

[76] good call.

lindor and sanders. we each chocolate companies that bear our surnames. i'm a godiva guy though...

[84] but, of course!

an old high school friend texted me the other day saying this pitcher looks like me (minus that tattoos of course)...

me likey that leadoff walk!

The hair, maybe.

Nice! Score everyone!

very nice, all-starlin.

please plate both of these runners. i don't care how, just plate them.

Whatever, I like him. He can stay. Keep pitching.

VIVA LA REVOLUCION!

[91] the hair only. and mine's longer, thinner...and a whole lot grayer!

[93] This. Just. Get. Them. In.

Hmph.

dammit, headley. fuck!

I gotta leave for work soon. Trying to schedule my shower. Donwanna go. Grrrr.

Uh, shit job, Hedley.

finally back to live TV after watching the Nats lose a heartbreaker. FF thru commercials, saw the Judge deliver. Let's go Yankees. Hedley still sucks.

earplugs back in...

Can Bird score on a single from third? The jury is still out.

put the ball in play, todfather

I missed all the fun..let's hope they put it out of reach!

I ACCEPT THE WALK.

i can't believe he took that pitch. good call. bases loaded.

Knock this hippie freak out of the box.

Unacceptable.

fuck.

ARGH

My GRRRRRRRR is rising with this inning.

[109] just because he has semi long hair, doesn't mean he's a hippie or a freak.

still bases loaded. at least it wasn't a double play...

Bird might be the slowest man in baseball, aside from our old catcher.

[109] The kid from Dazed and Confused is all growed up and pitching for Cleveland ...

that was outside...

Ha!

[108] Me, too. Looked like a "couldn't swing" not "didn't". Good result!

[114] His wind up is freakish. Anyone with long hair is a hippie. ;>)

ooh! high throw

YEAH BABY!

Ha! Another E5!

safe! wahoo!!

Ummmm ... I feel dirty, but I'll take it !!!

Too bad, kid from Dazed and Confused.

Speed kills.

gardy beats it out

SWEEP. THE. FUCKING. LEG.

[121] haha! i know a TON of long-haired metalheads that would disagree. this typer included! :)

yeah, i'm not fully comfy with a 5-run lead. maybe if tony pena was managing...

[128] i was gonna type that, but replied to your other comment instead!

[131] I cut my off my shoulder length-hair after 3 years.. :(

[134] BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

why????? i don't think i saw that on facebook...

[134] Once a hippy, always a hippy.

why swing at that pitch???

wow, what a pitch high and tight

[136] i've never been one, so i'm in luck!

[137] cuz it looks like it's right there when it's time to start to swing.

GODDAMIT.

Dammit!

Damn

dude. gotta swing at that!

i hope the long frame doesn't ill affect sevy.

Meh.

No sweepage occurred.

[131] I'm just playing. Got hate on the opponent.

Actually, I love long hair....

...on girls. ;>)

[135] You're married too, right? Sometimes you just gotta compromise..

5 runs is not enough ... to keep us safe from The Binder.

Actually, I'm jealous. I've got in between hair. It won't grow long, it just grows out until I look like Bozo the Clown.

[147] i would never marry someone who didn't let me have long hair! i've always had it though. over 30 years now. it really is a part of me and who i am. plus, she loves it and so does my daughter. mom too! it's not growing like it used to though. really sucks. they won't even let me crop my beard more than i already do.

but, yeah man, i hear ya.

[149] Kind of sound like him too.. :)

[147] you're also one of those guys that looks good with any hair style. i'd look like more of a doofus than i already do!

[150] Wow, was that very restrictive?
Did you have to turn down a lot of proposals?

sevy wanted that pitch.

[153] my wife was going to propose to me if i kept on stalling...

Darn it

Sevy serving serpents

i prefer bruce to walk than trot...

[157] nice!

Bruce must have a helluv an eye.

settle down, sevy

[151] And that's why I'm doing stand-up. Cheers.

motherfucker.

Fuck

Ouch

FUCK.

Gonna regret not sweeping the leg, dammit.

uh-oh

That's a mosquito bite. Sevy still got this.

Motherfucker.

[169] i'm more worried about GI Joe

[150] Oh it wasn't an ultimatum! Just a 'strong request' :)

Hm.

Get those runs back

[172] gotta make her happy!

[159] Thanks~ [158] Yup. 'cept he did both. But 3 runs up is good!

[172] just saw a coupla recent shots of you. lookin' sharp, man! and, at least you still have your earrings :)

[176] all true! need to get 'em back...and then some.

Get those runs back now, please.

check out didi with the walks!

oh, look - yankee haters in the booth. :/

what are you looking at, gary???

That was a poor at bat.

terrible AB. just awful.

feh.

get 'em both back, all-starlin.

not close. no need to even check on that!

[177] Those never come out! Was thinking of getting a Sir Didi tattoo as well but am fairly certain Mrs. Jazz would have a stern reaction to that..

It's only the bottom of the 4th??

Castro having a good game tonight.

good job, castro.

let's go, chase. get a big hit, goddammit!

C'mon, Chase! Ferfuckssake!

[188] nice! yeah, i don't even notice mine. well, except the high one in the cartilage. that was kinda dumb. really need to get that one out... ooh, no tats for me!

that first pitch was the best he's gonna see...

NOOOOO!!!!

way inside. fuck off, blue. assfucker.

Looked outside

Too close to take, HEDLEY.

Er, inside

Eat shit, blue! Fucking Asshole.

What an awful call!!

Yanks have left a shit load of men on base.

5th is a BIG inning

High cheese!

Mofuckingdammit

Fucking Bollocks

I picked a bad day to give up snus.

Need more runs! Viva Castro!

Starlin’ Darlin’!

fuck shit piss hell

So my Fox Sports 1 in Birmingham hasn't worked tonight on Spectrum. This is the second time it wouldn't work this series. I went round with Spectrum and I'm literally switching to Direct TV tonight. I'm glad the Yankees are winning.

Snus. Is that what the kids are calling it these days? Lol...

[209] that sucks, evil. do you mlb.tv?

Hey now!

i totally thought he was gonna throw that away!

let's get those 3 back, get to 8-3, and make it stand up this time.

[209] is spectrum instead of xfinity down here?

way inside...

Is there a squeeze in that binder? Frazier is too slow.

MUST get the runner in from 3rd. MUST!!!

I’ll take a balk here

[214] i7m perplexed by how complicated the cable tv & mlb blackout stuff works in the US. People in LA can't watch the Dodgers?! It's so easy overseas, can watch any game any time just via mlb.tv

[219] it is indeed confusing.

Good~

SPEED!!!

haha. WAHOO :)

Safe! Damn, I thought it was too shallow

alright, that's 1 back and we've doubled 'em up. still want that 5-run lead though...

Holy shit!

THE OTHER FRAZIER!!!

Wait, how did Frazier score without Torreyes pinch-running for him? Binder says he's crippled or something. :)

TAKE 'EM BY SURPRISE!

Nice extra run!
Wow, CLE radio advertising mypillow.com...riveting website, surely.

time for the Judge

[219] and the local Fox ownership has pulled the Fox main channel from Directv in a fee dispute. Hope they resolve it before the WS. Meanwhile Fox News, Fox Buisness And Fox Sports all still work. I guess there’s a difference between broadcast and straight cable

What a take!

Grrrrrr.....

swung right through it...

Mm good cutter and squeeze by the Cleveland battery.

[229] could be, man. use your imagination! ;)

[234] Judge tipped it.

beautiful, sevy. more of that.

1st out always good.

[237] semantics! :)

where's adam warren? he hasn't pitched in forever. i guess that's why he's not in these games...

Nasty curve.

siddown!!! nice fucking pitch, sevy! YEAH!

strike one.

Wow, Luis!

I hate jay bruce.

beautiful, sevy!!!

what a nice inning. i'm tempted to send him back out...

Sevi! Atta boy, Luis!

Luis comes out for the 7th? No Chapman, no Robertson

NICE!

91 pitches. It is tempting to see The Kid 1 more inning.

[240] : ) I'm a stickler. Occupational hazard.

More runs!

i'd go batter to batter

[236] I'm at ACME, Investigations HQ this morning, no imagining allowed!

Luis back out next inning?

[211] [214] Hey thelarmis -- it's spectrum in B'ham. What the hey, I'm saving $70 per month by switching.

I'm having to listen to the game on MLB Radio. I don't have MLB.TV this year because, although I'm a T-mobile subscriber, the app didn't work on my blackberry phone. Oye.

again with the foolish check to the line ump.

[252] i love it!

[251] i want him out there again.

[256] oh, man. i hope you'll be all setup soon and have more yankee games to watch this season!

Yes!

[259] I'd go batter-to-batter

Hail Gary!

SANCHIZE!!!!!

oh, how i love him!!!

BAM!!!

BOOM!

[262] yup.

Indians deserve to lose just for the "Yankees suck" chants.

Seriously, grow up and get some class.

DIRTY SANCHEZ!

Hot diggity! More, please

Love those thumbs down~

A-wop-bom-a-loo-mop-a-lomp-[265]-[266]

Keep scoring. Can Sevi start the 9th? I hope they leave D-Rob and Chapman on the bench

[268] agreed.

[271] agreed.

[272] Fruity!

damn. good play...

Chase is getting jammed every time.

headley should not be in the lineup. i'd go with holliday and ellsbury over him right now.

HUGE!

sooo glad sevy is still out there. 1-pitch, 1-out!

That's a strike.

No walks!

Agree, ride Sevvy til he bucks ya. Whether that's the next batter, a CG, or anywhere in between. Rested bullpen could be a huge advantage Weds night.

still throwing 100 mph. but losing the zone. don't get wild, dude.

Grrr

that's prolly it for sev...

C'mon Louie!

oh, good. get the dp and be done!!

Gouble play here

[287] louie louie and tutti frutti!!

100 pitches, getting balls up, losing the zone ... let this be his last batter, regardless.

Hey, Verducci. Stfu.

Agonizing.

I thought so highly of Verducci as a writer that to have him mouthing this mush on TV instead is painful.

holy crap, luis. fucking badass!

one more, man.

One more, Sevvy

he went.

No outside fastballs.

Alright, put this dickbag down and let's go hit.

Yes!

SEVY!!!!!

Awesome!

What a nice bounce back for Severino.

Please no D-Rob or Chapman...Pretty Please. How's about Warren for the 8th and Kahnle or Betances for the 9th?

[194] I have to say I'm not positive it's V. He's just the first name who popped into my head. Lol...

[304] Betances has been looking better, give the 9th to him?

Kahnle. Now or never. He's already been dry-humped twice. One would hope that Joey Joe Joe learned a lesson from game 2 ...

yeah, start with kahnle, then dellin...

Nice. Score him!

get him in.

that's an error. i would've given a hit on the hot shot to 3rd though...

Wow, an error. Took a bad hop on muddy ground

What's with all the Bad News Bears plays by CLE?

Thumbs down!

GRITNER!!!

score them *both*

way to be heads up, Gardner.

Gritty!

TV stooge thinks they'd pitch around Judge to load the bases for Sanchez.

I predicte a nonintentional intentional walk

Noooo. Don't offer at that.

That's two nights in a row Gritner has taken the extra base on pure heads-upitude.

[312] I thought I saw a bad hop on the first replay. Didn't see one on the next one from the 3rd base camera.

Maybe not

dammit, judge. too close...

Wtf!

gift out.

This is a big K day for Da Judge.

[322] Glove was down, expecting a routine grounder. Bounced up

It should be 12-3 ffs!

crap. total waste...

I mean Didi. :) Sane point. Grrr, popup anyhow.

i'd like to see a graphic of how big judge's strike zone has been this series

*same*

Clearly cannot type

Well, that was bullshit.

Again.

[327] K-clefs. rare these days, save for trombone and viola.

Why didn't they send Hicks? Judge doesn't seem to good in the less than 2 outs man on third situation.

[328] Yes. His eyes stopped following the grounder at least a foot and a half early.

In case you’re wondering, 11 LOB tonight through 7.

There will be runners.

[336] yeah, i was thinking hicks would score...

jesus, dellin. really???

Dellin is not going to last long.

Just a bit high and inside

That is not how you win the steak, TV Stooge. (Writing to you from Durham

oh man. a Singleton LOOK OUT!

Oy.

Here we go. Where it goes. Nobody knows.

fuck. i hate leadoff walks. shoulda started with kahnle. can't rely on chapman again tonight...

Sheeeeeeiiiite.....pull him?

Oh Christ. Who next?

Scary Dellin in the house

Fer cryin’ our loud. Not again…

Um, Dellin doesn’t have it this year

he has NO command...

Pep talk. Smooth it out Big D

take him out before he walks the bases loaded

oh great bad Betances per Sterling

Take him out. Now.

kahnle needed to start this inning. he was warm and we can't trust chapman tonight...

here comes a 2-run homer...

GET HIM OUT. NOW!!!!!!!

fuck

He’s gotta be hiding an injury

Fucking terrible.

DB is done

Good thing this is what ... the 3rd time Kahnle has warmed?

Girardi having quite the series ...

what a fucking disaster. if betances can't be trusted with a 4 run lead in the 8th inning, he can never be trusted. he's taking up a roster spot.

a strike!

Owed us that one

A K!

sit the fuck down!

now a quick DP...

Ha! 1 down. Far better than Judge's shit strike.

that was a strike at the knees, blue...

Yikes!

two down!!

Mound meetings are a Yankee thing?!? Now you're just fuckin' making things up.

Another quick out, then send Tommy back out for the ninth

Hell fucking yeah!

BIG!!

WOOOO!!!

he shoulda started the inning...

Thar ya go!

Hand it to Tommy there. Stock just went up for sure.

Kahnle owned it!

TAWWWWMY!

Hey, Joey Joe Joe, just imagine if you'd brought him in earlier in game 2, you'd be 3 outs from going to the ALCS ... fuckstick.

[378] sure. i'm down with that! he didn't throw many pitches at all.

A certain calypso comes to mind~

He should pitch the 9th. Ride the lightning.

we've got calypso [387], metallica's 2nd album [388], old timey rock 'n roll, classical canons, hippies, jazz dudes. this is a great thread! \m/

[389] METAL UP YOUR ASS!

I'd bring Tawwwwmey back, is anybody warming?

alright, folks. here we go...

And here we go

[390] \m/

keep pumping those strikes, kahnle.

[390] Happy to report several T-shirt sightings recently. The album cover that was disallowed.

Siddown!

Triple diggies for Tawwwwwmey!

The wide zone pays off.

One down. Sit Chapman.
