    1. I jinxed it. Sorry, I'll go back to ignoring the game.

    2. Best not to ignore because, Rufus, if we all watch the games and infuse the money ment with our collective positive juju then….. we’ll likely win more games than we’ll lose throughout the rest of the season. Channel your inner mythical Vermont forest creature and make it so, get it done, whip it, whip it good ….son

  4. This never would’ve happened if Williams was closing.

  5. Couldn't close it out against a .133 hitter.

  6. Just put Stanton on second to start the inning. A no-brainer !

  7. He’s been unreal since he came back.

  8. Wells did what Mickey Mantle couldn’t: he just hit the ball out of Yankee Stadium (south).

  9. "Caballero to second on a disengagement violation" WTF is *that*?

  10. I hate the new rules. But hey, great way to disrupt Judge's entire at-bat by having Caballero steal during it.

  11. Correction, Hoss: Cabellero getting awarded 2nd, having the award rescinded , & then getting thrown out, during it.

  12. Exciting Baseball with our best pitcher on the mound. There’s a run !

  13. Everyone got their fresh servings of pineapples handy?

  14. This team needs to learn how to slide. There are fewer overslides going in feet first. Williams in, we are set up ro fail.

  15. We’re losing this game aren’t we?

    ReplyDelete
  16. You can’t put Williams in to pitch in a situation like this.

    ReplyDelete
  17. The only question is will they lose without getting an out.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Williams ! The best closer in the game*

    ReplyDelete
  19. Maybe you CAN pitch Williams in a situation like that.

  20. Pittsburgh beats Toronto🤓

    ReplyDelete
  21. Can anyone clarify why Caballero wasn’t awarded 2nd base on the third throw over? Was it because the pitcher was off the rubber? Bad job by Caballero getting thrown out after his attempted steal too. We had to put Stanton in RF.

    1. He really should have been so I can not offer any assistance here…

      Delete
    2. I think so. Technically he didn’t disengage with the rubber (insert double entendre here), & I think the rule refers to disengagement, not throws. But that’s a guess.

      Delete
    3. Thanks guys! Maybe we’ll clarification tomorrow.

  22. Lettuce it forget about Schlittler’s superior performance tonight.

    Three Cheers for bringing the SCHLIT !

  23. I haven't seen the score yet, but I'm getting the general idea.

  24. Giancarlo Stanton might be baseball's Marcus Allen, at least in this respect- limited playing time in a few of his prime years staved off some wear and tear, giving him a little juice on the back end of his career, esp in a somewhat limited, carefully calibrated role. In Allen's case Al Davis' enmity turned him into a third down back for a few years before going to KC where he flourished as a red zone specialist/ touchdown scorer. It's been health with Stanton, but he's thriving in this occassional start/pinch hit role.
