3 up, 3 strikeouts
HoG - I answered your Hedgehog question
I’ve never seen a team take so many called strike threes.
My take: they are guess hitters.
My guess is that they aren’t hitters
Please keep telling me Rice is our best hitter.
His k-rate now 30%
Mlb network drones just mentioned that wells is wearing an old style orange chest protector in honor of Thurman Munson. RIP
Awful throw by Dominguez.
Some players get better with consistent playing time.
Others get exposed.
Dominguez is the latter.
Thanks! I'll check
47th anniversary of his untimely death
Wow, could've sworn the roof was gonna collapse there!
Fucking Calvin Rea. They can't hit fucking Rea either.
Sorry, Colin Rea. He of the 4 1/2 ERA. Pronounced "ray" but the way it's spelled, you'd think "rea, rea, diarrhea".
Wells wore 15 in the minors when I saw him.
Too bad he's not that good.
Munson was my favorite player. I was on the way to Saratoga races when I heard on the radio.
The Rays acquired Freddy Peralta from the Mess.
He's a dh.
Too bad they didn't try him at 2b/3b in the minors. Of course he'd probably been worse in the infield
He kinda sucked with the Mets, but you know the Rays will turn him around. He'll have a resurrection!
The really good news is Boone can't pitch doval in the 8th.
No, JD can't play the infield. Would be a disaster.
Never fear. Boone will find a substitute for Doval. The new kid Yovanny Cruz, perhaps? The bullpen yesterday was a total shit show. They just weren't throwing strikes.
Wow, Yanks got lucky. Wind knocked down a three run homer. Boone should've gone to a different reliever before that.
Heard the trade rumors…of course we need another first baseman…that is so YankeesAI…
Fucking pathetic at bats by the Yankees. If we're going to win this one, it'll have to be by a 2-1 score.
Fucking Cashman.
Cruz is rumored to be traded because we need another first baseman…
Fuck, way ahead in the count and walked him
These Cubbie hitters don't expand the zone, do they? 'Course, that's why they're one of the top scoring offenses.
Walk and a steal. Now runner in scoring position.
One more mile to go.
I'm always scared of former Mets. Even though they're not with the Mets anymore, their eyes always seem to bet bigger when they play the Yankees.
Battlin' Bronx Bastards walked the tightrope!
Assholes win…
Will these bastards ever score more than two fucking runs in a game?
Yankees Win!!!
Yee-ha.
THE YANKEES 'r' GRIM !
At this fucking rate, cardiologists in the NYC area are gonna be doing quite well. Anywhere there are Yankee fans, they'll see a big uptick in their practices.
Six fucking runs scored in a three game series. But they won two of three. I didn't think they'd hold down the Cubbie bats. Especially today.
Seems our lack of hitting is contagious. Everywhere we go, offenses starve! Our bastards bring on the famine!
We're no longer the Bronx Bombers. Gotta come up with a new name for this brand of famine ball. How 'bout stitchin' a skull on their uniforms? The starving bastards.
Our hitting is like a drip irrigation system.
The Yankees have acquired first baseman Luis Garcia Jr. from the Nationals, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post
Details to follow
Yankees are trading Ben Grable, Yovanny Cruz, Jack Cebert and Jake Bird for Garcia
1b / DH
First question: where do you play him..
Second question: How does this affect Stanton/Judge/Rice/Goldschmidt?
I would think Garcia mostly is the DH. Goldschmidt will sit a lot more. When or if Judge gets back, they'll figure out what to do. If Dominguez finally starts hitting left handed, maybe you put JD in CF. Judge plays RF. Garcia DH. If Dominguez is still not hitting lefthanded, I'm sure they'll send him back to the minors.
Stanton? Ha ha ha, I wouldn't worry about Stanton. Even if he does finally get back, he's nothing more than a pinch hitter. At least, that's the way I see it. Cashman will probably order Boone to DH Stanton. Which means Garcia then plays 1B, and then Ben Rice must catch. But how many games before Stanton gets hurt again? We'll take bets. I say he'll play two games before he lands on the DL.
And Grisham would sit on the bench. Or maybe they play Grisham in CF and Dominguez is sent down or traded.
Hmm...Garcia is now leading the NL in slugging. Annnnddd...he has played second and short in the majors, as well as first base.
I wonder...could it be that Jazz really is hurting? Or on his way out? I know, I know. But a guy can dream, can't he?
There is another shoe to drop
Does it taste good and does one feel the need to BS afetr every sip?
