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

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

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

  4. 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 . . . .

    1. 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.

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

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

  7. The weather is looking pretty shitty.

  8. 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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  12. Can’t take strike three there

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  15. Judge got jobbed low and inside and then jobbed on the outside pitch

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  18. 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".

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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  23. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  25. Soto Sono buoni Soto is so good.

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

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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  30. Scampering home like a GAZELLE! Or a GIRAFFE!

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  32. Self immolation by Cleveland.

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

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Walks and wild pitches are our biggest offensive weapons.

  34. What the hell was Vertigo swinging at? Jesus.

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

    ReplyDelete
  36. Analytics department was all over this when game-planning.

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  39. 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.

  41. Always nervous when Torres is running the bases

    ReplyDelete
  42. 4 pitch at bat with a strikeout looking.

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

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

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

  47. duque, about that small ballpark...

    ReplyDelete
  48. Yankees are 0-6 with RISP but lead 4-0

    ReplyDelete
  49. This isn't the Rodan that I expected.

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  53. Holmes warming up for the seventh. Nail biting time.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Judge is a solid as ever in the field.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Holmes is terrible. Why is he still plaguing us.

    1. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  67. Letterman's monkey cam would be way better.
