They haven't said so explicitly, but it's pretty clear to me that Gary is now a part-time catcher with this team and will be so in October (if they make it that far).

ReplyDeleteLooks like the postseason alignment would be:
Cole - Higashioka
Montgomery - Sanchez
Kluber - Higashioka
Cortes - Sanchez
Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteBut I think a better song would be:
"A few more hours
That's all the time we've got
Just a few more hours
Before we're really shot."
JERRY: (Singing) Camera, curtains, lights - This is it, we'll hit the
ReplyDeleteheights - Oh what heights we'll hit - On with the show this is it!
ELAINE: You know, it is so sad, all your knowledge of high culture comes
from bugs bunny cartoons.
It's bluejay season!
ReplyDeleteIt's DEVIL ray season!
oooooh, you wascally wabbit!
I'll be getting some "culcha" at a dance performance tonight with my sis.
ReplyDeletePlease excoriate Boone for me when he inevitably does something stupid.
Great clip! I love that song.
ReplyDeleteIf tonight's game becomes too painful there's always this...

or if you prefer...
Popeye

and if it gets really bad...

Oh, and for the record... there is no way we win this game.
ReplyDeleteDoug K.
Remember, all: nothing is important.
ReplyDeleteStrikeout. Getting off to a classic these are "Our 2021 Suckees" start.
ReplyDeleteOh. Oh wait. That's right. Judge can still hit.
ReplyDeleteSuzyn is the best: "Isn't it good to see another team hit into a double play?"
ReplyDeleteIt feels like every time I fire up the ol' Gameday, Kluber has allowed another run
ReplyDeleteI just don't see a 1-2-3 inning left in him today.
ReplyDeleteHow did Kluber ever toss a no-hitter this year?
ReplyDeleteKluber now looks more like Gruber from McHale's Navy.
Carl,
ReplyDeleteGruber actually got things done.
Stanton's hitting .000 for the rest of the season, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees are hitting .000 today except for the Judge homer.
ReplyDeleteI wish I sensed that changing.
One loud hit is not going to get it done tonight.
ReplyDeleteThat's the game. Probably the season too. We will not score again this week.
ReplyDeleteALL RIIISSE!!
ReplyDeleteWhat's happening? What is this? What is going on!?
ReplyDeleteFuck you, Ray, you short-sleeved, glute-flex-for-the-centerfield-camera asshole.
ReplyDeleteYou look like Barry Gibb's lost grandson.
ReplyDeleteHe's been taking the Dominican milkshakes. "Bulked up" in the offseason.
ReplyDeletemlb tv feed is stuck in the stupid fucking ad for themselves loop.
ReplyDeleteI hate those fucking bastards.
Unlike Joe West, I'm not sure this yoyo ump is retiring this year.
ReplyDeleteI used to love Sid Fernandez' centerfield camera glute flex. Even Met fans called him Baby Huey.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that Higgy wasn't rung up on that 1-2 pitch that bounced in front of the plate.
ReplyDeleteI mean c'mon! Baby had back!
ReplyDeleteRay looked…well…sort of ordinary…
ReplyDeleteMaybe Ray can win the Sigh Young award...
ReplyDeleteBoston just lost to Baltimore. Ha!
ReplyDeleteJudge sucks.
ReplyDeleteHe can only hit a home run every other at bat.
I hope for the carmines to lose every single game until the day I die, then for another hundred years.
ReplyDeleteThat idiot and his gagle of other idiots are gonna put Green in, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteRufus, I'll drink to that sentiment.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to need to drink with Green in there.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
We need good Green, not the bad one.
ReplyDeleteMichael Kay just made a Joe Shlabotnik reference!
ReplyDeleteI imagine all the fans watching who are under 50 immediately started Googling who that was.
I'm fantasizing about a three team tie for the second wild card.
ReplyDeleteA guy can dream, can't he?
Why is Chad Green in?
ReplyDeleteBoston sucks - they have a losing record since July 1 - Fuck them and their piss yellow frock coats
ReplyDeleteSevi looked good. King looked good.
ReplyDeleteWhy is he in?
Doug K.
Boone should have let Sevy pitch another inning.
ReplyDeleteI remember Joe Shlabotnik. Also Moonbeam McSwine.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Sevvy move. You don't want to work him too hard, considering the history.
ReplyDeleteBut Green...
He's not going to strike him out, is he?
ReplyDeleteBoone should have committed ritual Hari-Kari a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeleteHe has to get Dickerson here. This is the season in a batter.
ReplyDeleteAll right.
ReplyDeleteWe still have to endure El Chapo in the ninth.
ReplyDeleteUnless the Yankees score 5 the next half inning.
They keep going on about how good Green looks. I don't like it.
ReplyDeleteHiggy!
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, the true test awaits: Trial by Sweat.
ReplyDelete"Sanchez, afforded a miraculous second chance...struck out."
ReplyDeleteSigh.
Three more and we might not see El Chapo.
ReplyDeleteOld Useless Man hits one out! How do ya like.....that?
ReplyDeleteTequila for everyone!
ReplyDelete8-9-1. That's all he has to do. 8-9-1, to protect a 4-run lead. And he walks the first hitter.
ReplyDeleteThey need two runners on for that patented game ending triple play.
ReplyDeleteHere we go. Gut punch city.
ReplyDeleteDoug K.
Okay, struck out Breyvic Valera. Fine.
ReplyDeletewhat's with chapman and all the off-speed stuff? nervous I am Kevin
ReplyDeleteThrowing 88-mph splitters. Terrific.
ReplyDeleteAnd all over the plate.
ReplyDeleteHiggy just caught two ICS passed balls.
ReplyDeleteHe really cannot throw 100 anymore.
ReplyDelete"The most agonizing 20 minutes in sports"—watching this guy try to close a game.
ReplyDeleteI really don't like Chapman.
ReplyDeleteDoug K.
Oh, hurrah: it was Chapo's 1,000th strike out. He can put the baseball on the mantle next to his 1,000th expended shell.
ReplyDelete"The most agonizing 20 minutes in sports"—watching this guy try to close a game."
ReplyDeleteThis!
Doug K.
The whole Yankee infield on the mound, whispering to Aroldis behind their gloves: "Stop being an asshole."
ReplyDeleteThrowing an 87-mph splitter to Semien, outside the strike zone. You think he's going to bite on that?
ReplyDeleteThankfully the BJs are swinging at balls way out of the zone.
ReplyDelete3-2. I'm too old for this.
ReplyDeleteThat weird sort of cutter he seems to have is fooling them. For now.
ReplyDeleteChapo isn't sweating buckets. Is there something wrong with him?
ReplyDeletePhew!!!!
ReplyDeleteFlopsweat is exhausting.
ReplyDeletecool. I'll take it.
ReplyDeleteDoug K.
FUCK YES MOTHERFUCKER!! But, also, it's the hope that kills you.
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't for Gardner still around since 2009, the only Yankees with World Series wins would be the fucking ex-cubs. That is pathetic.
ReplyDeleteI will leave you all with this. The Giants have 104 wins and the Dodgers have 102 wins.
ReplyDeleteOur 2021 Suckees do not have 100 wins, nowhere close.
True, Winnie, but one of them will have to play the Bud Selig game, and wouldn't it be funny and just if they were to lose?
ReplyDeleteThe Giants and Dodgers play most of their games against the schmucks in their division. The good teams there are the Giants and the Dodgers.
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees have Tampa, Toronto and Boston to deal with. Makes a difference.
They look better than us, granted. But the win count is a little misleading.
A Giants Dodgers series would be super to watch.
ReplyDeleteNah. I want the Dodgers to lose that play-in game. You let them into a longer series, and it's hard to see anyone beating their pitching.
ReplyDeleteForgot San Diego. Ok, it's not a pushover division. Sorry.
