07/25/19 Yankees (Tanaka) @ Red Sox (Big Dick)

[TylerD]

Yup, Yanks just missed them. I wonder if Porcello has some deception in his release. Guys are swinging through 90 at the belt like he's throwing 99

 

Or that’s how baseball goes sometimes. He had some very good pitches last inning that went as balls and could have been strikes. And sometimes bad pitches work too. Happens with every pitcher.

[Maxbialystock]

Porcello is actually trying not to throw gopher balls and has thrown a lot of strikes. Plus, all things considered, that was a gutsy 2d inning and very smooth 3d. In a big game vs. the so-called arch rivals.

 

But is anyone besides me pulling for him? Nope. Funny thing is, I'm usually very critical of Porcello, but tonight I thought he looked pretty darn good in the 1st. Plus, foolish me, I'm pulling for the Sox to win this game.

[TylerD]

f*** this ump!

 

f*** you to hell. Didn’t give Porcello that but gives the Yankees that. f*** off *******.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Doesn't mean anything IMO. Playoff is a different beast

 

 

For a team with a 240 million dollar payroll, I believe it means something.

[jacksonianmarch]

That's a strike Brock

[iortiz]

Well at least Nate knows what he wants to do. Probably does not have the stuff to get it done right now. But once he does, he does not exhibit confusion on the mound. Rick knows he cannot land that FB the way he was landing it for that magical year and a half and he really does not know what to do next.

Eovaldi will need 10 games or so to settle, but once settled, he is a better bet. No doubt.

[Maxbialystock]

Sheer stupidity by HOlt. Now he's out.

[Station 13]

Tanaka is really trying to stay away the last 2 inning.

[iortiz]

That's a strike Brock

 

yeah, but ump still sucks.

[TylerD]

That's a strike Brock

 

Lmao no it’s not. Porcello has at least 3 pitches just off that we’re called balls. This ump is inconsistent. Don’t let your yankee love blind you. You’re smarter than that.

[jacksonianmarch]

Interestingly, it took a 7 run 1st inning beatdown to give Tanaka his command back

Yeah, Max, as you continuously remind us, you're the perfect fan.

That's on the corner in K zone. Porcello had a couple that were close to the corner, but none that were in the box. The ump who's been inconsistent is the 1b ump

[moonslav59]

Robo Umps NOW!

[Maxbialystock]

Man, I wish we had SP'ers like the Yankees have!

 

Right on! Porcello just stinking up with those 7 runs in the 1st. Oh, wait.

[TylerD]

yeah, but ump still sucks.

 

He’s inconsistent as hell.

[moonslav59]

yeah, but ump still sucks.

 

...and robo umps would lessen ejections immensely.

[TylerD]

It was just outside the corner actually. It didn’t touch the box.

[Station 13]

Much less fastball out of Tanaka

[Maxbialystock]

Yeah, Max, as you continuously remind us, you're the perfect fan.

 

No, I'm not. But tonight I'm pissed that no one but no one but me wants Porcello to do well. I'm serious when I ask, whatever happened to rooting for your own team and that includes Porcello?

[jung]

I actually don't really know why either taam's hitters are swinging at anything. If they just rested the bat on their shoulders both of them would just walk everybody around until their Managers came out and rescued them.

[moonslav59]

Right on! Porcello just stinking up with those 7 runs in the 1st. Oh, wait.

 

...at least we have 3 SP'ers with an ERA at 4.10 or under.

We are going to win tonight, but Porcello sucks. Look at his numbers this season. He is what? 5 ERA pitcher?

[jacksonianmarch]

Alright Boone. Might want to reconsider your current pitching option

[moonslav59]

Bad, but all considerably better than Rick---Who, however just pitched a nice comeback inning

 

Happ=Porcello

[Maxbialystock]

Moreland barely got from 1st to 3d on a stand up double by JBJ. Same exact thing happened in the 1st.

[TylerD]

One good hit come on.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JBJ says give me some more of that Taknockaround.

[TylerD]

See that was a strike from Tanaka. This ump is ridiculous

[TylerD]

f***. .

 

Hold your breath people. Here comes Rick.
