Aaron Boone heard Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will attend ALCS Game 1 at Yankee Stadium tonight, per @ChrisKirschner

JM said...

Oh joy.

JM said...

Today is Mets day. 6-0 in the second.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Mets! Lead-off homer by Lindor, grand slam by Vientos. Showing a lot of fight!

AboveAverage said...

According to my numbers, it appears that H O S S is due for a couple of platefuls of Yankee Stadium lobster tails . . . . . perhaps he'll get to hang out with Taylor and Travis at the lemon and melted butter dispenser . . . .

JM said...

I think the melted butter dispenser is in their hotel room.

Taylor is ok, but I don't like Kelce. Just don't. And he looks like a jerk in top hat and tails. So wrong.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Nah, no offers. The bankers probably want their seats back, the old bastards.

13bit said...

JM - that's a tantalizing scenario you hint at.

JM said...

Somewhere between slippery and sticky.

JM said...

The weather is looking pretty shitty.

AboveAverage said...

ewwwww that stinks

13bit said...

Where is Mothra?

BTR999 said...

Tay-Tay in da house?

BTR999 said...

I think Rodon will be ok tonight, but I feel the offense will let us down. Hope I’m wrong. CLE’s bullpen is excellent. Chilly and windy tonight. Make of itbwhatvtou will

mik said...

Almost ready!!!!!

TheWinWarblist said...

I'm here. Have the Master in my headphones.

JM said...

Kwan is a pain in the ass.

mik said...

He will be a tough out in every game...

Doug K. said...

OK. That was a lot of pitches but no harm done. I'll take it.

mik said...

Our tendency is to put runners on then fail to score them in the 1st.

BTR999 said...

Can’t take strike three there

HoraceClarke66 said...

He's like the anti-Reggie.

Doug K. said...

Spike Lee is in the stands. We're doomed. The man is a jinx.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Judge is the most un-clutch Yankee I have ever seen. And we can't go on batting Wells in the four spot.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Almost. More frustration.

Doug K. said...

Judge got jobbed low and inside and then jobbed on the outside pitch

mik said...

Another wasted opportunity.

JM said...

He got screwed by the ump.

BTR999 said...

Stanton just missed that. Judge killed that inning by not at least advancing the runners

BTR999 said...

JM said...

Most opportunities are.

Doug K. said...

yep

Rufus T. Firefly said...

You are the Warrior!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

yeppers!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Umps suck tonite

Hinkey Haines said...

Is that the game plan for tonight? Get shut out & leave 18 guys on base? Clever.

Publius said...

You'll have to take my word for it but before Gleyber stepped in I said, "Cobb knows Gleyber will be hacking first pitch, looking fastball. So he'll take something off, ground him out to left side".

mik said...

Seems to be.

HoraceClarke66 said...

The fact that your New York Yankees had the best record in the American League this year indicates only how low baseball has fallen.

mik said...

Is Spike sitting on the 3rd base line? I thought his seat was down the 1st base line...

HoraceClarke66 said...

What's everybody's call this inning? I say Judge with another called third strike. Who's got swinging?

TheWinWarblist said...

Finally, a 1-2-3 inning.

JM said...

Soto gets on, and double play.

JM said...

Spike, that is.

Publius said...

Judge flyball to center. 80% chance caught, 20% chance HR

TheWinWarblist said...

Oh, it's called strike three this time too. Why adjust, and try to put the ball in play when you can let the ump punch you out again.

BTR999 said...

Swing and a miss on strike three

JM said...

Soto!!!!!!!!!

TheWinWarblist said...

SOTO YOU FUCKRES! DRINK!

Hinkey Haines said...

Soto’s pretty good.

AboveAverage said...

Yay

JM said...

Judge walks. Again. I don't think they're paying him to walk.

Doug K. said...

Soto Sono buoni Soto is so good.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Excellent. But the new definition of insanity is NOT having the 2-3-4 be Judge, Soto-Stanton.

mik said...

How about a two out hit with runner in scoring position? I think that would help.

JM said...

Boy, we sure can walk.

Publius said...

It's a skill

JM said...

Bingo.

AboveAverage said...

But can we swing the bat with a broken hand . . ?

HoraceClarke66 said...

They let Cleveland get away with starting Cobb, having him give up only one run. Now comes their bullpen.

JM said...

Yep. If you don't have a broken hand, just walk.

TheWinWarblist said...

Scampering home like a GAZELLE! Or a GIRAFFE!

JM said...

This is a lot of walks.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Hey, we're great at the wild pitch!

mik said...

What are the odds of a ground ball to 2nd?

JM said...

Catcher had it right in the pocket of his glove and flipped it away. Wtf?

JM said...

Self immolation by Cleveland.

HoraceClarke66 said...

What I tell ya? Why, we could wild pitch these guys all night!

JM said...

What the hell was Vertigo swinging at? Jesus.

Publius said...

Great rally

HoraceClarke66 said...

Nice, guy can barely find the plate, and you swing at a pitch a foot inside. Oh, Flopsie.

Hinkey Haines said...

Analytics department was all over this when game-planning.

JM said...

Walks and wild pitches are our biggest offensive weapons.

Pocono Steve said...

Cleveland's pitching has been a shitshow. The 3 runs feels deflating and may not be enough.

Joe of AZ said...

Rodon starting to feel it

Hinkey Haines said...

Nice to see a shut-down inning instead of a meltdown.

BTR999 said...

We’re walkin’

Publius said...

The breaking ball's working for Rodon. Dropping it in for strikes often enough that when hitters see it out of hand they have to commit. The strike three swing by Thomas was awful. Pitch was never a threat to be a strike, but Thomas read "breaking ball", knows Rodon's throwing the breaking ball for strikes, so he committed. Near impossible to hit under such circumstances. Hope Rodon keeps it up.

Joe of AZ said...

Cashmans 3 True outcomes on full display

Pocono Steve said...

This is ridiculous

BTR999 said...

Always nervous when Torres is running the bases

TheWinWarblist said...

4 pitch at bat with a strikeout looking.

JM said...

Vogt might give Boone a run for his money as manager here.

mik said...

Cleveland is tempting the Yanks to break this game wide open.

BTR999 said...

Judge effective

AboveAverage said...

On vacation-Central America

mik said...

Judge get's the RBI. Much better than a double-play or strikeout. That is his first RBI of this post season (I think...)

Hinkey Haines said...

Yankees refusing to put this away.

JM said...

Yes.

Publius said...

duque, about that small ballpark...

JM said...

They have to keep up the TV ratings in the Midwest.

BTR999 said...

Yankees are 0-6 with RISP but lead 4-0

Kevin said...

This isn't the Rodan that I expected.

JM said...

Rodent keeps this up, he'll be more popular than the pizza rat.

AboveAverage said...

He Man’d Up

JM said...

Almost, Volpe.

mik said...

If it was a warm, humid July these deep fly balls may have been HR's. But, it's cold, windy and September.

AboveAverage said...

His new nickname

Joe of AZ said...

That had to be the worst HR celebration I've seen

JM said...

Holmes warming up for the seventh. Nail biting time.

mik said...

Judge is a solid as ever in the field.

Hinkey Haines said...

So … Holmes, Kahnle, Weaver?

TheWinWarblist said...

Holmes is terrible. Why is he still plaguing us.

AboveAverage said...

Better to wear his arm out in the middle innings - plus THE INSTANT he throws his first pitch someone like Tim hills have eyes will come in

Kevin said...

Stanton!

BTR999 said...

I hope they’re not planning on batting wells cleanup all postseason

JM said...

Stanton!!!

TheWinWarblist said...

The Man of Glass!

mik said...

A Stanton-Blast!!!!

AboveAverage said...

You don’t need to RUN - when its hit like THAT!

JM said...

When he hits one, it stays hit.

TheWinWarblist said...

The Hardest Part. Blondie.

https://g.co/kgs/yuczGKk

BTR999 said...

Can they at least flip Stanton and Wells in the lineup?

mik said...

I second what HoraceClark66 said - the new definition of insanity is NOT having the 2-3-4 be Judge, Soto-Stanton.

Publius said...

Keep Stanton right where he is. Don't change a thing.

TheWinWarblist said...

Who let The Moron put Hill in!?

Hinkey Haines said...

Nice play, Rizzo.

Doug K. said...

get hm the hill out of here

JM said...

Take out Hill. Now.

TheWinWarblist said...

Judge Soto Stanton. Why is that so fucking hard to figure out??

JM said...

Jesus. Fucking Boone.

Hinkey Haines said...

Getting nervous…

JM said...

Dream Weaver.

AboveAverage said...

Jesus would never fuck Boone

Publius said...

Weaver's Goose Gossage now? I don't know about this steady diet of 5 out saves.

AboveAverage said...

Here we go

AboveAverage said...

We are out of the inning!

Hinkey Haines said...

Phew.

mik said...

Dream Weaver - Weaving those dreams

Publius said...

Let's put this one out of reach

mik said...

Insurance runs baby

JM said...

The base cam has to be the dumbest, most useless gimmick MLB has come up with.

JM said...

Letterman's monkey cam would be way better.

AboveAverage said...

Or just a colonoscopy scope would work

AboveAverage said...

Anyone still awake?

Hinkey Haines said...

Just holding my breath.

HoraceClarke66 said...

No more Tim Hill, please.

Publius said...

Lead off walks...

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

mik said...




That's a big fat YANKEE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TheWinWarblist said...

Thu-uhuuhuhuhhhh-ahahahahaahhhha hhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Yakneees win!!!

JM said...

Wow. Weaver.

AboveAverage said...

Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!

Hinkey Haines said...

Magic number is 7…

BTR999 said...

😀

mik said...

sure is

Publius said...

Good win. Taylor Swift and Spike Lee seem pleased.

Kevin said...

Can't they both get transported to the middle of the sun?

AboveAverage said...

Kevin - It all comes down to the state of your Dilithium Crystals.....
