  2. Why bother pitching to Judge if you're going to walk him in four pitches anyway?

    Rizzo hbp... classic Riz.

  3. Where I live, in northeast Pennsylvania, Fox is Phillies Braves. Thinking I might throw something

  4. If DJ had had that toe amputated, he'd be back in the lineup by now.

    Donaldson... double play. Schmuck.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Donaldson is really good.

    The 2015 version that is, even with the roid rage. The current one, not so much.

  6. They cut in JM with the Judge at-bat. Sucks bad. Too far up in the hills for the radio feed so I'm blind here. Watching Mannix reruns with the wife😒

  7. Mildred,

    I feel your pain. I am in NH and VT. Both are carmines broadcast areas. So, my mlb.tv subscription doesn't work when the Yankees play the carmines. I am forced to pretend I am in Bratislava. Plug for hidemyip.com here. It works, but you have to hunt around for a feed that has enough speed.

    I can stand the Fox announcers, or any of the other national announcers for that matter.

    Works for me. mlb.tv at 60 buck for the second half of the year and about 40 per year for hidemyip.

    Started when I lived in Sydney Australia for a while. Kept it because it works.

  8. I liked Mannix, but I liked Peggy more.

    I signed up for MLB TV when was out in California last month. It was only 25 or 30 bucks for the rest of the season. Of course, I live in NYC, so it's pretty useless here.

  9. Apologies if this was noted in another thread, but it finally happened. Andujar has been designated for assignment. Peralta is on the DL with back tightness. Britton back on the roster.

    ReplyDelete
  10. The master and Joe Castiglione are announcing.

    Castiglione is the only carmines' announcer worth more than a bucket of shit.

  12. I hope the author of this thread rides herd on the turd in the punchbowl.

  13. I fear EBD is right. Even a great young player gets bumped when a big name comes back.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Smoltz gets IKF. I've thought of him as one of our best hitters this year. He makes contact.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Andujar was DFA’d to open a spot on the 40 man roster
    He would have been eligible to become a free agent next if he wasn’t kept on the 26 man roster.
    This likely ends his Yankee career.

  16. Blue Jays down 9-3 in the 5th to the Rays.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Rufus - I'm late to this party BUT I have to ask . . . .

    Is your home straddling the Vermont/New Hamsphire border?

    Do you hang out at night at the Cabot cheese emporium and wait to rummage through the evening trash for some pepper jack?

    ReplyDelete
  18. he stood and watched it and it barely wet out. I hate that crap.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Wow, Stanton got lucky. He stood there admiring that hit, and it barely made it over the wall. If that had hit the wall, there might have been a play at second.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Bitty, don't worry. I still have mod privileges. All sorts of things that need flushing will be flushed.

    ReplyDelete
  21. AA,

    Grew up in Bernmontistan. Own an old log cabin on top of a mountain in Southern Bermontistan in a secure undisclosed location. Long driveway and clean shot to the road. Very safe.

    Legal residence is NH (i.e., tax free NH) near the coast in kinda sorta horse country. Commuting distance to St. Botolph's town.

    Both are in carmines 'home' broadcast area, so my mlb package doesn't work when they play the carmines. So I have to pretend to be in Slovakia in those cases.

    Plus I spend winters in Hawaii. I get spring training games there at breakfast time. I have major first world problems.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Winnie,

    Don't say flushing on a Yankees blog. Too close to referencing the mutts.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh Clarke, Clarke, Clarkey-clarkey Clarke.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Ah, I didn't realize who Bit meant. Now I do.

    ReplyDelete
  25. We could be pretty good if we had a bullpen.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Can't help but think of the United Nations when I hear U Thant. I mean Yu Chang.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Is there a turd echo in here?

    Bucks Puckered Hemorrhoid is surrounded by a huge vacuum, where no sound can escape.

    ReplyDelete
  28. And Schmidt completes his meltdown.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Didn't Boone see he had nothing?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Doesn't have a single out in him, and yet he stays.

    ReplyDelete
  31. "this didn't exactly work out for the yanks"

    Yes indeedie.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Boone is a GENIUS. He can see Schmidt hasn’t got anything, but leaves him out there anyway. GENIUS.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Why is he still pitching? Why?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Winnie,

    You are a gentleman and a scholar, and a good judge of fine liquor.

    And to be commended otherwise.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Everyone saw it coming except Baboone.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Is there a rule that you MUST leave the reliever in until they blow the game? Did I miss that?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Wow, Mom's internet service really rocks. Even on wifi from her basement!

    ReplyDelete
  38. This bullpen is a flat out fucking disaster

    ReplyDelete
  39. Winnie,

    That is Boone's rule #46. The first 30 involve making Baghdad Bob look like a straight shooter.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Never forget, those goons from Beantown LIVE to fuck us. They live for it.

  42. Judge got walked three times, but the silver lining is don't bogart that joint is 0 for 4.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I'm so disgusted with this game. But I'm learning new things about all sorts of stuff. Not Flushing, but flushing. Mmmmm ... minty fresh like the space between Boone's ears.

    ReplyDelete
  44. So very many pitches and pitches beat the "Riz."

    Fuck.

    ReplyDelete
  45. "lead off double and they didn't score him. that's not good."

    ReplyDelete
  46. He it's fine! This lineup has got lots of leadoff doubles in them! It'll be fine!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Not Chappy!!!!!! It's still a winnable game...

    ReplyDelete
  48. They're counting on scoring 13 runs in the bottom of the 8th!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Chappo is a fucking head case.

    Keeping the cement footed runner close.

    ReplyDelete
  50. None of the last 4 pitches were anywhere near the strike zone.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I hate trash can cora, but he sees that he can fuck with chappo with a faster player.

    Bonehead doing something that bright? Ain't gonna happen.

    ReplyDelete
  52. The Master agrees the bullpen has "Big Problems. You could hear the capital letters when he said it.

    ReplyDelete
  53. So, I guess Judge really is going to pitch the 9th.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Trivino is just as wild as Flop Sweat was. This is bracing.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Criminy. Just fucking fucker fuck criminy.

    ReplyDelete
  56. OK, who pitches the 9th?

    Jesus, they're going to put Britton in, fresh off the DL

    ReplyDelete
  57. Boone must consider the game expendable.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Bitch ass Boston refusing to pitch to Judge

    ReplyDelete
  59. Wait! Overturned and then OsO advanced the runner?

    ReplyDelete
  60. Judge will get another AB, but they will walk him.

    ReplyDelete
  61. To paraphrase Samir from Office Space,

    Boone is a very, very bad manager.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Judge could turn out to be a pretty good outfielder.

    ReplyDelete
  63. One, Holmes sucks. Two, Judge doesn’t.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Arraez went 1-4 tonight & is batting .313. Bogaerts is 0-5 & is .314.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Would Trevino be boo'ed if he hits a HR?

    ReplyDelete
  66. I have to admit it: I kind of love Tots Bader.

    He DOES play a great OF. And he gets guys in.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Two pretty damn fine innings by Holmes

    ReplyDelete
  68. Bader is okay. I'd rather have pitching, but he's okay.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Holmes' second inning actually better than his first. Because he STOPPED throwing 0-2 strikes!!!

    ReplyDelete
  70. You said it Hoss. Bader looks good, and it is such a pleasure not to see Hicks out there.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Thuhuh-uhuhuhuh-aaaaaahhhhahahahaah-UH! UH! UH! UH! Yankees WIN!!

    ReplyDelete
  72. We are now officially a wild card team

    ReplyDelete
  73. Playoffs clinched. Magic number for the division...down to 6, I think. 24th playoff appearance in last 28 seasons.

    ReplyDelete
  74. And no World Series appearances in the last 12
    Fuck The Intern

    ReplyDelete
  75. Yes, 6 for the division clinch.

    We have 13 games left, 3 w/TOR, they have 12 games left.

    I thought the camera work on Judge’s 9th inning ball was deceiving, they did a wide shot of CF as if the ball was gone, which unfortunately it was not. Hope he gets it done at home, but if Boston is intent on pitching around him…

    Thank you mods for blocking EDB/Barney or whoever the fuck it was. We have so much freedom on this blog, all we have to do is be civil to one another. Is that hard? (that’s what she said)

    See you all on the morrow.

    ReplyDelete
  76. This team could win the World Series, but give us all a-fib. A lot of talent on the squad, top to bottom. The problem is that most of the players are totally capable of have a catastrophic night. I prefer teams who jump ahead by three runs in the first inning, then slowly pull away....

    ReplyDelete
  77. Love the Carel reference, 999! And you're not kidding, Kevin!

    I don't know if it was the weather, the big crowd, or what, but this team seemed absolutely galvanized tonight. Some flashy D, great situational hitting.

    And...I gotta say...so far I am LOVING Tots. Seems like a smart, situational hitter—got that tying run in—and it's been so long since I've seen it that I was genuinely baffled by his circling around to line up that high fly in the 10th.

    Then it hit me: Oh my goodness—could it be—he's actually positioning himself to make the strongest possible THROW???

    Fundamentals! Dazzling!

    ReplyDelete
  78. Still don't think they have the pitching to go all the way. But at this point, I'd settle for a good faith effort.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Oh, and 999, you're completely right: that camera angle in the 9th was horribly deceptive. It was the John Sterling equivalent of camera angles.

    When I saw him hit the ball, I immediately thought, "He didn't get all of it." But you never know. As Judge himself said, "Windy night..."

    Then—no. Absolutely moronic—just playing with us.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Hoss, yes it was crazy watching one of our outfielders set himself up for the throw. I can't recall the last time a Yankee outfielder took advantage of momentum like that. Emblematic of our farm system's "way", as compared to say, the Cardinals who perennially come up with the " right " players. The amazing thing is how Judge is able to make those canon throws flat-footed and seemingly without effort! Well he is built like a biomechanical catapult... I think that he's a better athlete than Winfield and it's not even close. Hopefully Hal understands what he has right now.
