I'm glad that Peraza is at SS but once again Stanton and Donaldson are back to back...

(and not belly to belly - and what does that mean BTW? Why does Sterling say the belly-to-belly part?)

...in the middle of the lineup.

I would again like to point out that the games count. We need to finish ahead of the Mets (because... the Mets + home field advantage in the World Series should we both end up there.

Winning yesterday would have left us one back.

That said, the more we play Stanton the greater the possibility that he tweaks something.







Stang said...

The Yankees announced the game won’t start on time. No word on expected length of delay.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Belly to belly does sound a little to "Arod"ish to me, if you know what I mean. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Stang said...

"Back to back, belly to belly" is from a Calypso song that came out in the 50s, alternately titled "Jumbie Jamboree," "Zombie Jamboree," or "Back to Back." John would have heard the Harry Belafonte versions, or the Kingston Trio's.

1:30 first pitch

JM said...

Mighty wet outside the window. If Stanton was playing the outfield, who knows what could've happened?

That said, the guys who are playing the outfield better step gingerly.

And thanks for the musical tidbit, Stang. I never knew that.

Doug K. said...

Thank you Mr. Stang. I will listen to it.

Doug K. said...

With all the walks what is Aaron Judge's OPB for the last three weeks?

HoraceClarke66 said...

And Judge is hit. If any pitcher on the Yankees has a single ball left, he will hit at least two guys on the Orioles.

Don't expect any Orioles to get hit.

All-time asshole behavior.

HoraceClarke66 said...

And now we get robbed on a call. All bullshit, all day.

JM said...

Stanton just made the postseason lineup.

JM said...

Higgy!!!!

HoraceClarke66 said...

Another walk from Austin Voth. Already trailing, 4-0. What bullshit.

HoraceClarke66 said...

And this busher then hits Rizzo.

Have. To. Retaliate.

Doug K. said...

They should give Rizzo that ball and he should put it in a drop frame with an X-Ray.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Incidentally, they said earlier that Judge's OBP was .550 since they started walking him. Ludicrous.

This is all about pitchers who don't have the guts to risk having their names in the record books.

And we then get robbed AGAIN on a call.

Doug K. said...

Hoss - I don't understand the risk. "Ooooooh I gave up a HR to Aaron Judge along with 61 other guys and it just happened to be #62."

Do people mock the guy who gave up #61 to Maris or did he make extra bucks at card shows?

Exactly!

HoraceClarke66 said...

I know, Doug. It's probably the ONLY thing the great Austin Voth will be remembered for—but he won't do it, and his manager and teammates won't shame him into doing it.

Meanwhile, another huge crowd gets to sit in the cold and the rain and watch a guy stroll to first. What excitement!

Motherfuckers are killing the game. But you watch, not one sportswriter or broadcaster will call out Voth or his manager afterwards.

Joe of AZ said...

These fuckin opposing pitchers are bitches....give the fans wtf they came for...jesus

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Nestor is keeping the hitters out of sync. Delightfully beautiful.

Doug K. said...

Man this is some bullshit!!!!!

And the crowd screams, "Asshole!Asshole!Asshole! I agree.

They should all do the Chicken Chant (that I just invented) where they all go buck buck buck bcaw!!!

Joe of AZ said...

Nobody:
O's: "Well at least judge didn't make history"

JM said...

Fuckers.

JM said...

We can have a battery of Trevino and Barnes.

They can get you millions in your injury lawsuit.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Somebody needs to call out Brandon Hyde, the immortal manager of the Orioles, on this.

But they won't.

HoraceClarke66 said...

All right. At least a couple over the plate...

JM said...

Had two pitches in a row that were homerable. Fouled.

Not today.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Rizzo looks awful, swinging at anything.

JM said...

He might lose the Triple Crown if this keeps up.

JM said...

Judge, of course.

ranger_lp said...

I should be put on the 60-day EL with Britton viewing fatigue...

HoraceClarke66 said...

Wait, we have Jake Barnes pitching out there?

Who's next? Francis Macomber?

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Hoss, let's hope he has a long happy life.

JM,

Trevino was much more lively today.
