Longest Day game thread

Birds jump right on our best pitcher as we are victimized by an ex-Yankee, as per usual.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

The interpreter is covering his mouth.

Are our lipreading Japanese spies that good?

BTR999 said...

Stanton had plenty of hittable pitches. Didn’t hit ‘em. Now come the dregs of the lineup.

BTR999 said...

Seems to me that all Japanese pitchers have very similar deliveries

AboveAverage said...

Depends on the local restaurants, I would image

Rufus T. Firefly said...

The John Sterling blog is now devoid of any threads but this one.

Be verrrrrrrrrryyyyyy afraid.

AboveAverage said...

That is So Very True 😵‍💫🙀

Rufus T. Firefly said...

So disappointed looking at the YES pregame. Had an old clip of Ken Singleton. Thought they might have him as guest announcer with the Orioles in town

Pocono Steve said...

Volpe is such a fucking, rally-killing asshole

Pocono Steve said...

Wells, too.

DickAllen said...

And now Boooooone is trying to squeeze another out with Fried. And as usual, it’s costly and foolish hope

DickAllen said...

He always manages to lose a couple of runs every time he tries to leave pitcher in just a little too long, hoping to steal an out or two.

Carl J. Weitz said...

Rufus, you should be watching the Orioles' feed on MASN with Jim Palmer. Better commentary than on YES.

AboveAverage said...

Rufus, Sir. Your Longest Day post might have awakened an anti-IIIHIIFIIC Sleeper Cell.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Carl, thanks. Just switched it on. Reminded me that I miss Gary Thorne. He use to do the Orioles games when I would occasionally work in Baltimore/DC. His audio was always in the backhalls of Camden Yards.
Jim Palmer is an underappreciated pitcher and broadcaster. Male model, not so much...

Rufus T. Firefly said...

No one has asked who was in the pic.

Almost as disappointed about that.

Platoni said...

Volpe is unwatchable. They have Judge a day off but not him?!

Platoni said...

*gave

BTR999 said...

Good point!

Carl J. Weitz said...

Easy picture to recognize if you're an old geezer like me: Paul Anka.

BTR999 said...

Hal’s thugs better not show up at our doors

BTR999 said...

James Darren

BTR999 said...

Ooops! I think you’re right Carl.

Publius said...

No rehab for Weaver. Hey, a month off, he's ready for MLB hitters. Why wouldn't he be? Of course Boonie immediately puts him in a high leverage situation, in the midst of a lost 7 of 8 streak when the offense simply isn't functioning. Why wouldnt he? What an organization.

TheWinWarblist said...

It is very sad. Very sad, but not unexpected.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Picture from the movie.
What a career, mostly forgotten.

He did it his way.

BTR999 said...

My thoughts exactly. They need REAL baseball people, not the current group of poseurs.

BTR999 said...

As usual, the team goes down without a peep in the 7th, 8th, 9th

TheWinWarblist said...

Despicable.

BTR999 said...

Methinks the June Swoon is not over so soon

AboveAverage said...

Hey Rufus. . .

Who’s that in the picture?

(Asking for a friend)

AboveAverage said...

Thank you

13bit said...

Yankees so bad they couldn't even keep their "no runs" streak going.

Remember the era of "Yo Mama" jokes?

AboveAverage said...

Yes…..
