Threadbare game thread

Posted by JM at 3:03 PM

Between the two teams, you could fashion a pretty decent lineup. Maybe we should just merge.

BTR999 said...: O’s pitching around Judge, which is how you handle the opposition’s big hitter.

Boone - pay attention!; July 13, 2024 at 4:15 PM
AboveAverage said...: I sure hope Boone heard u, BTR (formerly Clark Kent); July 13, 2024 at 4:17 PM

Doug K. said...: That'll do. Oh and NO Joe Buck.; July 13, 2024 at 4:21 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: AA,

For some reason, I don't think the Master would use that as his home run call.; July 13, 2024 at 4:23 PM
Hinkey Haines said...: Something’s wrong with my computer. It says the Yankees are winning.; July 13, 2024 at 4:24 PM
AboveAverage said...: Try pouring a glass of Budweiser into your computer and then reboot.; July 13, 2024 at 4:27 PM
AboveAverage said...: Gil’s body language looked awkward there for a bit but he got out of it.

OK NOW….

Who on your NY Yankees gets buzzed/hit?; July 13, 2024 at 4:34 PM
BTR999 said...: Today is LeMahieu’s 36th birthday. Hope he gives US a present and retires.

The dregs of the Yankee order are out on 4 pitches in the second. I’d make ‘em run laps in the heat.

A/A, I think they’ll buzz Welles.

Buzz Welles sounds like the sidekick from a 1940’# serial; July 13, 2024 at 4:42 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: If they buzz Wells, will it remove his porn stash?; July 13, 2024 at 4:58 PM
AboveAverage said...: Setting up low - catching high with a positive nod - could mean the pitch calling is being jiggled up a bit. Nice; July 13, 2024 at 5:00 PM
AboveAverage said...: Depends….on what brand of razor blades are mounted on the ball they buzz him with, RTF.

I think it will be Volpe or Vertigo; July 13, 2024 at 5:05 PM
Doug K. said...: Volpe looks terrible; July 13, 2024 at 5:06 PM
JM said...: I think we should call Wells "Buzz." Aren't nearly enough goofy nicknames in baseball these days.; July 13, 2024 at 5:07 PM
JM said...: DJ looking 36 during that punch out.; July 13, 2024 at 5:09 PM
JM said...: Volpe not looking foxish, Doug. More like Droopy Dog.; July 13, 2024 at 5:11 PM
BTR999 said...: JM 👍👍 on both.; July 13, 2024 at 5:12 PM
JM said...: So how does a stomach virus put Davis on the IL for 10 days? Must be a hell of a virus.; July 13, 2024 at 5:16 PM
AboveAverage said...: Torres eaten alive by that hit . Too bad it didn’t swallow him as well; July 13, 2024 at 5:16 PM
JM said...: DJ looking kinda 36 on that grounder.; July 13, 2024 at 5:18 PM
JM said...: Showboat Soto.; July 13, 2024 at 5:24 PM
AboveAverage said...: Soto goes Yardo; July 13, 2024 at 5:24 PM
JM said...: Judge!!!

Belly to belly!!; July 13, 2024 at 5:26 PM
AboveAverage said...: Judge Goes Smudge; July 13, 2024 at 5:26 PM
ranger_lp said...: Back to back and a belly to belly…; July 13, 2024 at 5:27 PM
AboveAverage said...: NExt pitcher; July 13, 2024 at 5:30 PM
JM said...: Kay is an ivy hater.; July 13, 2024 at 5:31 PM
AboveAverage said...: Brutal AB; July 13, 2024 at 5:51 PM
Doug K. said...: Richard Simmons and Dr. Ruth RIP. I heard they were lovers.; July 13, 2024 at 6:03 PM
AboveAverage said...: And there - ladies and gentlemen - is our third :

Shelly Duvall
Dr Ruth
Richard Simmons; July 13, 2024 at 6:14 PM
JM said...: Santander dives a lot.; July 13, 2024 at 6:23 PM
JM said...: Dr. Ruth was 4' 7". Her husband was 5' 5". Towered over her.; July 13, 2024 at 6:25 PM
AboveAverage said...: They lived on different floors in their high rise apartment, JM?

Also Michael Kay is really excited about that new razor phone, isn’t he?; July 13, 2024 at 6:29 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: They had better not blow this; July 13, 2024 at 6:34 PM
Doug K. said...: I'm watching on FS1 - don't have to listen to Kay and Co.; July 13, 2024 at 6:35 PM
JM said...: Trump might have been shot at a rally. Not hurt badly.

Story developing....; July 13, 2024 at 6:39 PM
JM said...: He hit the dirt really fast after grabbing the side of his head.; July 13, 2024 at 6:41 PM
JM said...: Thuuuuuuuuh Yankees win!!; July 13, 2024 at 6:42 PM
AboveAverage said...: 2024 - continues; July 13, 2024 at 6:44 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: It's over. It's over. I'm relieved.; July 13, 2024 at 6:47 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: So relieved...; July 13, 2024 at 6:56 PM
BTR999 said...: Looks like he was clipped in the ear. I’ll forgo further comment

But a pretty solid win today. Very good outing by Gil backed by 3 homers. Sweep tomorrow? Whoda thunk it?; July 13, 2024 at 7:00 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Dr. Ruth was proof that size doesn't matter.

At least that's what she said.; July 13, 2024 at 10:35 PM
AboveAverage said...: I respect our attempts to not comment too much on what happened a few hours ago.*
