5/10 vs Yanks

Lineup pending

 

Let's just play a bs-less game without some dickwad reliever throwing a game away. That's how the MFY pile up wins lately.

How is Mookie looking in CF?

 

he was too shallow on the gardner triple last night and got burned big time.

benching JBj because of offense woes definitely affects the D. but it's also hard to argue that point when both HanRam & MM went yard in the same game.

 

as for tonights game - Erod please don't nibble. we need 7 out of you big guy.

thanks.

[Maxbialystock]

With a man on 3b and 1 out, you don't play deep on Gardner. The fault lay with Kimbrel throwing 7 straight fast balls and no knuckle curves.

 

JBJ was absolutely not missed last night and won't be missed tonight.

 

Tonight it's ERod's 5.29 ERA vs. Sabathia's 1.39 ERA, so our work is cut out for us. A week ago he held the Guardians scoreless for 6 innings, 6 days earlier he held the Angels to 1 run in 7 innings. He mixes his pitches, keeps the ball low, and has great control. ERod probably has better stuff, but little control and not much desire to keep the ball low.

Don't the coaches position the players? Him being too shallow is tough to blame on Mookie.

This. It doesn't matter who was in the game there in CF, they weren't catching that ball with the way the coaching staff had them positioned.

[TylerD]

Just win...... that is all.

[Divinity]

Just popped the cork on my Yankees's wine ahead of tonight's sweep.

 

[Divinity]

oooh oooh ooooh ooooh ooooohhhhh

its crazy how fast the Yankees trolls appear when theyre good and disappear when theyre bad.

[fxkatt]

The Yanks are excellent at making pitchers throw strikes, so E-Rod might as well forget the finesses stuff tonight or he'll be through in the 5th... and you know what that means... 4 more innings of our suddenly ineffective relief staff. (right now Yanks big reliever advantage)

 

Shouldn't Wright have gotten back by now? And how long to we have to wait for Thornburg to see action??

Good start Mookie

[guinness22]

Nice Mookie. Now get him in Hanley

[Station 13]

Hanley you're a 3-hole hitter. Take care of business

[guinness22]

always nice to get to CC early

[guinness22]

Did I miss something, why the blues tonight? Thought those were for Fridays.

[Jasonbay44]

Lol, I feel like every night I sit down and watch a game and check the ticker, the Orioles are getting destroyed. They already allowed a grand slam and are down 4-0 in top of 1st.

[Maxbialystock]

Good he's keeping the ball low, better if he would just consider--he doesn't have to do it--throwing strikes.

[guinness22]

Seager just hit a slam as well, Jays down 4-0 already too.

[Jasonbay44]

E-Rod doing his usual nibble nibble nibble, fall behind and walk guy approach. This should be fun.

Feels like there has been an absurd amount of grand slams this season.

[guinness22]

ERod nibble nibble nibble. Seen this movie before. Good pitch to get Didi though in the end.

[jung]

So I missed what OB and Remy were just saying. Were they saying the Cora is now committed to saves only for Kimbrel and 4 out saves at a max? Is that what I just heard?

[guinness22]

ERod seems to have good stuff, pretty early I know. Good FB velocity, and great change there to Stanton

 

EDIT - and still goes 3-2

[guinness22]

22 pitch first.

[bmattioli]

Watching E-Rod pitch is like watching paint dry.. Game will last until midnight unless he gets pounded..

The Oakland pitcher who no-hit us was incredibly quick to the plate... I was counting... sometimes 12 seconds between pitches.

[jacksonianmarch]

ERod at 22 pitches through 1. Betts hit a good pitch. So be it

[Maxbialystock]

Sabathia is looking very sharp. He made mincemeat out of Bogie in 3 pitches. Now he K's Moreland--with ease.

[guinness22]

Calling that a line drive is a little generous OB, but it still works just the same
