5/15 vs Athletics of Oakland

[Slasher9]

Mengden vs Erod

evil vs good

loss vs win

 

not a must win but lets win.

[Maxbialystock]

A must win, sort of, to me. I hate giving into the Yankees. And yes I know it's only May. But right now we have about everyone we are supposed to have except Pedey and Thornberg. Long since time for the rotation and bullpen to man up.

 

Last night the lineup score 4 runs off the same guy who no hit us last time, but Porcello gave up 5. To me that was the ball game in a nutshell. I have nothing against starting JBJ or anyone else because to me the lineup has been doing its job.

 

Slasher9 is just the guy to get us this win.

7. Eduardo Nunez ® 2B

8. Rafael Devers (L) 3B

Sad to see JBj not in vs this righty. At least tonight it’s to get MM into the lineup....

I just drove home through serious tornado warnings in western NJ. That ain’t supposed to be like that

So it seems that we may have lost Carson Smith for the season. Or at least a long while.

 

Dombrowski is saying Smith sustained a likely serious injury to his shoulder when throwing his glove after he let up a dinger.

 

Cut the s***.

 

That guy is useless.

Glad you made it home safely, my friend. We need you here to put up those kick-ass avatars! (and support me in my campaign to keep JBJ on the field.)

We had serious hail here an hour ago. So weird seeing mothball-sized hailstones raining from the sky when it's warm out.

There are severe thunderstorms presently moving west to east in eastern Mass. Tornado warning earlier today.

 

Expect delays at Game time according to WCVB.

They're saying first pitch @ 8:30 now.

Some friends of mine went to Phillies v Mets game on Saturday. They sang the National anthem and then rolled the tarp out. Thanks for paying for parking, food, and beer!

I'm watching Yankees at the Nats which for me is a local game. Tanaka gave up a dinger on a sinker low in the zone. Top of second, the leadoff Yankees double and single on hard hit balls, men on 2d and 3d. Next three, Tanaka (batting 8th), torres, and Hicks all K and that big curve Gio Gonzalez throws.

 

Nats lead off bottom of 2d with double by Howie Kendricks. He scores on a grounder to the left side. 2-0 Nats.

 

Now 3-0 in the 2d off a double by Severino (not the pitcher of course).

I'm viewing it too. Tanaka is painfully slow to throw a ball.

Tonight he is getting more pain than he is inflicting.Yankees out in the 3d after a walk to Judge, a GIDP by Stanton (he should have struck out to help the team), and a fly out by Sanchez. Now 3-2 in the 4th: Yanks got a 2 run error double by the CF who ran all the way over to the standing still LF to forced the dropped ball--followed by a dinger on a curve up in the zone.

When are we starting?

[Maxbialystock]

Gio Gonzalez is a lot shorter, but a lot like POM. Both have slow fastballs, 88-89-90, and big curves breaking from left to right. But Gio has a usable changeup and better command of his pitches.

Backed off to an 8:50 start now. Looks like they will play though.

Slasher,

 

I love seeing you come back to your "HOT" AVATAR roots.

 

I feared you were going "soft?"

 

Welcome back!

[Maxbialystock]

Unbelievable. Yankees have loaded the bases in the 5th on two walks and a pop fly behind the firstbaseman. One out on grounder to 1b, throw to home.

Jesus,

 

This could be a 110 win team we'Re looking at!

 

They are THAT good!

[Sox75]

Slow start, but unbelievable looking since!

[Sox75]

Jalen BROWN!

[Sox75]

That's no "average Al."

[Maxbialystock]

I apologize for the bulletins, but what the heck. Gonzalez escaped with 1 run, score now tie 3-3, despite bases loaded and no outs. I am less than 20 miles from the stadium and we are getting a lot of thunder and rain.

:'( No game?! Celtics!

[d-money]

Nice start. Back to back singles.

[d-money]

Just terrible execution. One out away and they get a triple. This team's playing some s***** baseball. Not getting the pitching.

[Maxbialystock]

When will Cora learn? If JBJ had been in RF, he catches that one easy.
