Feels like we're gonna choke. Nestor is the weakest link.

JM said...

Definitely. I was thinking, with Schmidt and Cole not available, Gil is the only guy you can rely on.

DickAllen said...

Let’s hope Cole and Schmidt get back soon to some reasonable effectiveness, because Gill is not gonna last past 100 innings

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Another Gleyber bobble. Where is that guy's head?

JM said...

Nestor doesn't suck, but he's not really that good, either. Stroman is similar, and Rodon gives us no length, so we're at the mercy of the Santanas of the world. Who the Brain signed or traded for, so we'll suffer with them until it's clearly not feasible at all. Though they did come through last night. So what do I know.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Mikey comes through in the clutch again.

Doug K. said...

It feels a little bit like the Rangers vs. the Panthers. The Dodgers seem to be better, not by that much, but better.

JM said...

Without Soto, we aren't as good. It's too bad they decided to "treat" his injury at this point in time.

JM said...

Nice play, DJ.

JM said...

Without Soto, a two run deficit seems insurmountable. We've got a few guys at the top of the order, then crap.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Where the hell did gulf of Tonkin come up with the fairy dust? I mean he's pretty much sucked until he got to the Yankees this year.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

JM,

This flashback has been been brought to you by the fact that Ca$hole dumpster dives instead of adding depth. It's who he is.

JM said...

It's up to the kid now. Come on, little Tony.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

LA starting pitcher comes from a dry county in arkan-sass. I have unfortunately been there. A lot of rice fields for cereal. No wonder I didn't like him.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Shit

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Gulf of Tonkin is starting to grow on me. Sorta like vertigo, who I DEFINITELY did not want the Yankees to sign.

This is the inning to come back, if they're going to.

JM said...

No hits with runners in scoring position. We're sucking.

JM said...

This feels like 2023. Ish.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Yes, futile at this point.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

And burn the bullpen

Doug K. said...

Gleyber must go!!!!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

It looks like Gleyber closes his eyes when he fields the ball. That can't be helpful.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Fork

Rufus T. Firefly said...

See you guys tomorrow

Hinkey Haines said...

We rewatched Alien tonight. Which makes me realize that in the Bronx, apparently no one can hear you scream at Gleyber.

JM said...

Santana is an embarrassment.

Pocono Steve said...

Suddenly we don't seem so good, do we?

JM said...

Apologies, Kahnle sucked.

AboveAverage said...

What’s that smell coming from the Bronx?

HoraceClarke66 said...

I gotta say, Gulf of Tonkin has been a pleasant surprise. The rest...

AboveAverage said...

Gleyber’s brain seems to be in Nam…

TheWinWarblist said...

Ouff.

BTR999 said...

An embarrassing loss as we see again the team can’t play with the big boys. Rizzo and Stanton in particular have been awful, especially Rizzo who should ask to be taken out of the lineup. Cortes could be headed to the pen. Without Soto, this team is like the ‘23 version, except another year older and slower.

Perhaps Gil can redeem us somewhat tomorrow; otherwise no need to watch, or even play.
Bring on the Royals!

We're doing A League of Their Own for our next family movie night.
