Game 157: They run and hide their heads

Posted by Stang at 12:00 PM

News bulletin! News bulletin! Britton to 60-day IL. “Left shoulder fatigue.”

34 comments:

Doug K. said...: I'm glad that Peraza is at SS but once again Stanton and Donaldson are back to back...

(and not belly to belly - and what does that mean BTW? Why does Sterling say the belly-to-belly part?)

...in the middle of the lineup.

I would again like to point out that the games count. We need to finish ahead of the Mets (because... the Mets + home field advantage in the World Series should we both end up there.

Winning yesterday would have left us one back.

That said, the more we play Stanton the greater the possibility that he tweaks something.; October 1, 2022 at 12:19 PM
Stang said...: The Yankees announced the game won’t start on time. No word on expected length of delay.; October 1, 2022 at 12:36 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Belly to belly does sound a little to "Arod"ish to me, if you know what I mean. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.; October 1, 2022 at 1:11 PM
Stang said...: "Back to back, belly to belly" is from a Calypso song that came out in the 50s, alternately titled "Jumbie Jamboree," "Zombie Jamboree," or "Back to Back." John would have heard the Harry Belafonte versions, or the Kingston Trio's.

1:30 first pitch; October 1, 2022 at 1:19 PM
JM said...: Mighty wet outside the window. If Stanton was playing the outfield, who knows what could've happened?

That said, the guys who are playing the outfield better step gingerly.

And thanks for the musical tidbit, Stang. I never knew that.; October 1, 2022 at 1:25 PM
Doug K. said...: Thank you Mr. Stang. I will listen to it.; October 1, 2022 at 1:35 PM
Doug K. said...: With all the walks what is Aaron Judge's OPB for the last three weeks?; October 1, 2022 at 1:43 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: And Judge is hit. If any pitcher on the Yankees has a single ball left, he will hit at least two guys on the Orioles.

Don't expect any Orioles to get hit.

All-time asshole behavior.; October 1, 2022 at 1:45 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: And now we get robbed on a call. All bullshit, all day.; October 1, 2022 at 1:48 PM
JM said...: Stanton just made the postseason lineup.; October 1, 2022 at 2:01 PM
JM said...: Higgy!!!!; October 1, 2022 at 2:02 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Another walk from Austin Voth. Already trailing, 4-0. What bullshit.; October 1, 2022 at 2:07 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: And this busher then hits Rizzo.

Have. To. Retaliate.; October 1, 2022 at 2:09 PM
Doug K. said...: They should give Rizzo that ball and he should put it in a drop frame with an X-Ray.; October 1, 2022 at 2:12 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Incidentally, they said earlier that Judge's OBP was .550 since they started walking him. Ludicrous.

This is all about pitchers who don't have the guts to risk having their names in the record books.

And we then get robbed AGAIN on a call.; October 1, 2022 at 2:12 PM
Doug K. said...: Hoss - I don't understand the risk. "Ooooooh I gave up a HR to Aaron Judge along with 61 other guys and it just happened to be #62."

Do people mock the guy who gave up #61 to Maris or did he make extra bucks at card shows?

Exactly!; October 1, 2022 at 2:16 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: I know, Doug. It's probably the ONLY thing the great Austin Voth will be remembered for—but he won't do it, and his manager and teammates won't shame him into doing it.

Meanwhile, another huge crowd gets to sit in the cold and the rain and watch a guy stroll to first. What excitement!

Motherfuckers are killing the game. But you watch, not one sportswriter or broadcaster will call out Voth or his manager afterwards.; October 1, 2022 at 2:27 PM
Joe of AZ said...: These fuckin opposing pitchers are bitches....give the fans wtf they came for...jesus; October 1, 2022 at 2:44 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Nestor is keeping the hitters out of sync. Delightfully beautiful.; October 1, 2022 at 3:12 PM
Doug K. said...: Man this is some bullshit!!!!!

And the crowd screams, "Asshole!Asshole!Asshole! I agree.

They should all do the Chicken Chant (that I just invented) where they all go buck buck buck bcaw!!!; October 1, 2022 at 3:33 PM
Joe of AZ said...: Nobody:
O's: "Well at least judge didn't make history"; October 1, 2022 at 3:38 PM
JM said...: Fuckers.; October 1, 2022 at 3:41 PM
JM said...: We can have a battery of Trevino and Barnes.

They can get you millions in your injury lawsuit.; October 1, 2022 at 3:54 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Somebody needs to call out Brandon Hyde, the immortal manager of the Orioles, on this.

But they won't.; October 1, 2022 at 3:57 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: All right. At least a couple over the plate...; October 1, 2022 at 3:59 PM
JM said...: Had two pitches in a row that were homerable. Fouled.

Not today.; October 1, 2022 at 4:00 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Rizzo looks awful, swinging at anything.; October 1, 2022 at 4:00 PM
JM said...: He might lose the Triple Crown if this keeps up.; October 1, 2022 at 4:02 PM
JM said...: Judge, of course.; October 1, 2022 at 4:02 PM
ranger_lp said...: I should be put on the 60-day EL with Britton viewing fatigue...; October 1, 2022 at 4:02 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Wait, we have Jake Barnes pitching out there?

Who's next? Francis Macomber?; October 1, 2022 at 4:08 PM
ranger_lp said...: Yankees Win!!!; October 1, 2022 at 4:11 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Hoss, let's hope he has a long happy life.

JM,

Trevino was much more lively today.; October 1, 2022 at 5:51 PM
13bit said...: The Ghost of Scott Proctor. Remember the blog titled "Scott Proctor's Arm"?; October 1, 2022 at 5:57 PM
