But another two-run HR from Judge (with Soto on base).

F R E A K S ! ! !

This Judge guy might be pretty good.

We are 20-23 against the AL East.
Why?

In today's Daily Murdoch, Booooone was once again proving his worth as a manager about his benching of Gleyber:

“He is an enormous part of this team, a key cog in what we’re doing,” Boone said from The Bronx before Saturday’s second game of the series. “As I’ve told him, if we’re going to get to where we want to go, he’s an important part of that.”

I miss the days when a player would get benched days for doing something stupid like admiring his single.

Judge is doing this after a truly terrible April into May.

Incredible.

Rodan flapping his wings.

JM said...

Volpe's getting jiggy.

AboveAverage said...

I’m not sure if Toho is going to re-sign Rodan

AboveAverage said...

Jazz just made a nice play at third. Thank you Mr Jazz,.

JM said...

Can't we have a starter capable of going beyond five and a fraction?

AboveAverage said...

No JM.

I am truly sorry

JM said...

Ok, thanks.

Looks like for today the ship has been righted…

Pocono Steve said...

Leiter, Jr., might have something to say about that.

AboveAverage said...

I’m glad I won’t have rip out another urinal. It’s so gross and so much work

Pocono Steve said...

Holmeslice comes in. Back to back and a-belly to belly, and we're tied!

Pocono Steve said...

He's totally going to butcher this cause you know he wants to.

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

Pocono Steve said...

See?!

JM said...

I thought we had this one in the bag. Before Holmes.

Pocono Steve said...

Woo hoo!

AboveAverage said...

Yunkeeeze veeeen!

JM said...

What??? We won???

Hahahahahaha!

JM said...

And a strikeout, no less.

JM said...

First place, for now.

BTR999 said...

Needed this today, bc who knows what’s gonna happen with Cole tomorrow?
Enjoy your evening!

Yanks now 47-11 when allowing three runs or fewer.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Meanwhile, the weirdness continues: Flopsy Vertigo puts in ANOTHER 0-5 as leadoff man. And no at-bats for DJ, who IS well enough to play the field. I do not get this.

BTR999 said...

Can we please for fuck’s sake get Verdugo out of the leadoff spot?

Doctor T said...

@Dick Allen: Did Boone mean 'key cog' or 'key clog', as in the wad of dirty toilet paper clogging up my drain? If the latter, I heartily agree.

He is the opposite of championship material.

Kevin said...

Can't wait till we get rid of Gleybor. Of course we all know that he will go from there to become a HOFer....

the internet anagram server says that "gleyber torres" equals "soberly regret"

JM said...

Makes sense.
