Can we TALK about the Yankees shitty infield defense. WTF happened Jesus!!!!

In happier news...

"Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Aroldis Chapman was suspended two games by Major League Baseball on Thursday, three days after he was ejected from a game against the New York Mets.

Chapman was seen arguing with home plate umpire Edwin Moscoso in the bottom of the eighth inning Monday after the veteran reliever allowed a two-run double to Harrison Bader in a 3-3 game. Bader's hit made the difference in the Mets' 6-3 win over the Pirates at Citi Field.

It's unclear what Chapman said to prompt the ejection, but it came swiftly:

Monday's loss came two days after Chapman blew a save in the seventh inning of a 4-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. The two rocky outings followed a strong start to his first season with the Pirates, and his 15th in Major League Baseball. According to Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com

Vertucci, whom I loath, had a nice article on SI (i think?) about the master.

I tuned in just in time. Just like the good old days - if they give you extra outs, make them pay extra.

Juan Soto is very good at baseball.




Fuck Boone.

Winny - you just made me laugh

If Holmes gives up the lead (assuming Hamilton holds it) then he should be shot into deep space!

Suzyn just said that John’s gunna be in the booth with her after the “press conference and ceremony “ and that it originally had been planned as something small but a lot of the 90’s players wanted to be there so it grew into something bigger.

Then she mentioned that when she told John he was going to join her in the booth for the game he said, “well what am I going to do?”

Same thing we’ve done for 20 years!

Ready the Holmes-Rocket for launch . . . AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE’S ENOUGH ROOM TO STUFF GLEYBER IN AS WELL!

That and the odd infield fly rule call is all I saw. Visitors from the old country.

AboveAverage said...

Maybe these visitors need to be shown around the city
