Did Verdugo just get hurt? It was a great play. If he's hurt Dominguez is pretty close to being ready.

AboveAverage said...

That’s dark. :)

AboveAverage said...

(from the previous thread)

Vertigo got billed there and Rodon wants to kiss him really, really hard.

JM said...

Vertigo and Gleyber are supposedly trade bait. We shall see.

Doug K. said...

Triple!

Doug K. said...

Stanton runs like me. Then again I'm 68.

AboveAverage said...

Forfeit the game, Minnesota.

Be careful Judge!

Also - maybe instead of trade bait they should just be trade chum.

Plus Stanton runs slower than the Yankees trying to sign Soto

JM said...

We might have enough runs. Hard to say. Boone may bring in Santana.

JM said...

Rodon out of gas already. Here comes Santana.

JM said...

Maybe Ferguson.

AboveAverage said...

Let him finish the inning

JM said...

Jesus, that was a major struggle. And after five perfect. The Yankees' long half inning derailed him? Still.

JM said...

And Santana is up for the Yankees.

Fucking Boone is such a moron.

AboveAverage said...

Now Cole won’t shut up.

AboveAverage said...

My gawd - we aren’t about to score runs again, are we?

MAKE IT STOP!

JM said...

Fatboy Not Slim didn't last long. Not to worry, Twins. Santana is on the way.

Doug K. said...

Are we really the only ones with Amazon? Interesting.

AboveAverage said...

JM - Carlos he ain’t

JM said...

Santana being Santana. I still don't understand why Boone trots him out there. At all. Ever.

TheWinWarblist said...

Oh sweet, sweet pliable soft and yielding Minnesota.

JM said...

God, he's just awful.

Doug K. said...

Why is Santana a part of this team?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Doug, I'm in local blackout area. Even though I'm in New Hampshire

TheWinWarblist said...

There must be somebody, anybody in Triple A who is better than Surrender Santana.

JM said...

I keep saying that but he's still there. Cashman has ignored my continuing objections.

TheWinWarblist said...

As much as I hate Rodon, that human trash heap, that's another quality start. How was he so fucking awful last year? Or have the Yankees' starters found a really great way to cheat? It's clear they're not sharing it with Santana if they have.

JM said...

DFA the poor schlub.

JM said...

Win, five innings isn't great in my book. Yeah, he went six, but the sixth was labored and lame.

JM said...

I guess these days that gets you a gazillion dollar contract, though.

TheWinWarblist said...

Fuck Santana. And fuck CashBrain for signing him. Denis Santana has never been good. Never. Why is he a Yankee? I mean good for him, I guess, feather in the cap with the interlocking NY, but he's awful. He should be with the White Sox or another tanking franchise.


And FUCK CashBrain for signing him!

TheWinWarblist said...

Yes, JM. A bunch of quality starts - even against Minnesota - gets you a gazillion dollar contract. Six innings or more and three runs or less. It's at least an adequate night's work.

TheWinWarblist said...

WHY THE FUCK IS SANTANA STILL OUT THERE!!!!!!???? BOONE IS A FUCKING MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!

JM said...

I hear you.

I think Santana is in there to make sure Holmes can get a save. Just another run or two...

TheWinWarblist said...

WHY ARE THEY SENDING THE PITCHING COAH OUT THERE!!?? WHAT IS HE GOING TO SAY??? "SANTANA, YOU SUCK AND CAN'T GET OUT MAJOR LEAGUE HITTERS!!!???!?!???!!!!"

Doug K. said...

Rufus - You should only be blacked out for the Expos.

JM said...

This is exactly what I expected when we went up 8-0. Santana would get the call, and we'd sweat it out instead of enjoying a laugher.

Hinkey Haines said...

Into every life a little Santana must fall.

JM said...

Chip chip chipping away. The Santana way.

JM said...

Does any Yankees announcer ever say that Santana sucks? Certainly not on YES, but on radio?

TheWinWarblist said...

Volpe seems to have figured some things out.

AboveAverage said...

VolleVolpeVolpe

AboveAverage said...

No more Dillon Lawson helps with everything

TheWinWarblist said...

Now The Gulf of Despair.

BECAUSE OF COURSE IT'S MICHAEL TONKIN.

JM said...

Tonkin is actually better than Santana, I think. Not that he's good, but he's only the eighth ring of hell.

Doug K. said...

Tonkin Lord of the Rings of Hell.

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

JM said...

Thuuuuuuuuh Yankees win!!

AboveAverage said...

Yunkeez Vein! ZaaaaaaaaYunkeeezVein!

JM said...

The Tonk looked really good there. Wow.

TheWinWarblist said...

Pocono Steve said...

Woo hoo!

BTR999 said...

Not for nothing, but it looks like Meredith is about to bust out of that top-⚾️⚾️

13bit said...

I just want the Paxlovid to start working.

AboveAverage said...

13 Bit - you got it bad?

13bit said...

The last, and only previous time was much worse, but Trying to not let this get bad.

JM said...

Sorry to hear, Bit. This, too, shall pass.

I told my wife that Meredith's boobs are each larger than her head. She agreed.

AboveAverage said...

JM - but both of Meredith’s boobs together are still only half the size of Michael Kay’s head - - - which frankly is surprising given the what inside of that noggin.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I have the plague also. Gotta love selfish people that have no business on a plane (aka self contained germ box). Counted 6 of them on the last flight. I avoided it, but the missus caught it, then a week later...
