Home Runs continue ….

AboveAverage said...

And Schlittler appears to be pitching well …..

Pocono Steve said...

Well, that's that, I guess.

Pocono Steve said...

Boone stealing outs again.

ranger_lp said...

Schlittler had a great outing…

AboveAverage said...

Very impressive

ranger_lp said...

Grisham does it again…

AboveAverage said...

Grishy, Grishy, Grish

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Am I reading the box score correctly?

Who are these guys?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I jinxed it. Sorry, I'll go back to ignoring the game.

AboveAverage said...

Best not to ignore because, Rufus, if we all watch the games and infuse the money ment with our collective positive juju then….. we’ll likely win more games than we’ll lose throughout the rest of the season. Channel your inner mythical Vermont forest creature and make it so, get it done, whip it, whip it good ….son

ranger_lp said...

Another blown save FFS…

Hinkey Haines said...

This never would’ve happened if Williams was closing.

Pocono Steve said...

Couldn't close it out against a .133 hitter.

AboveAverage said...

HAHAHA

AboveAverage said...

Just put Stanton on second to start the inning. A no-brainer !

AboveAverage said...

Wait….


STANTON !!!!!!

Hinkey Haines said...

He’s been unreal since he came back.

AboveAverage said...

Wow Wells

Hinkey Haines said...

Wells did what Mickey Mantle couldn’t: he just hit the ball out of Yankee Stadium (south).

Rufus T. Firefly said...

So you're saying there's a chance?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

"Caballero to second on a disengagement violation" WTF is *that*?

Hinkey Haines said...

This is a farce.

HoraceClarke66 said...

I hate the new rules. But hey, great way to disrupt Judge's entire at-bat by having Caballero steal during it.

Hinkey Haines said...

Correction, Hoss: Cabellero getting awarded 2nd, having the award rescinded , & then getting thrown out, during it.

AboveAverage said...

Exciting Baseball with our best pitcher on the mound. There’s a run !

Hinkey Haines said...

Everyone got their fresh servings of pineapples handy?

BTR999 said...

This team needs to learn how to slide. There are fewer overslides going in feet first. Williams in, we are set up ro fail.

BTR999 said...

And here we go

Doug K. said...

This game is totally nuts.

Doug K. said...

Williams! OMG

ranger_lp said...

We’re losing this game aren’t we?

BTR999 said...

You can’t put Williams in to pitch in a situation like this.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

The only question is will they lose without getting an out.

AboveAverage said...

Williams ! The best closer in the game*

Pocono Steve said...

That, I did not expect.

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

Kevin said...

NFW!!!!!!!!

Hinkey Haines said...

Phew.

AboveAverage said...

Skunkies Win !

Pocono Steve said...

Oh, yeah: woo hoo!

AboveAverage said...

Yes FW

HoraceClarke66 said...

Well, uh, I guess the uh Yankees...

HoraceClarke66 said...

...sorta, kinda win.

AboveAverage said...

Urgency

BTR999 said...

Maybe you CAN pitch Williams in a situation like that.

Kevin said...

Pittsburgh beats Toronto🤓

Kevin said...

Very small sample size, but maybe?

BTR999 said...

Can anyone clarify why Caballero wasn’t awarded 2nd base on the third throw over? Was it because the pitcher was off the rubber? Bad job by Caballero getting thrown out after his attempted steal too. We had to put Stanton in RF.

AboveAverage said...

He really should have been so I can not offer any assistance here…

Hinkey Haines said...

I think so. Technically he didn’t disengage with the rubber (insert double entendre here), & I think the rule refers to disengagement, not throws. But that’s a guess.

AboveAverage said...

Golly

AboveAverage said...

Lettuce it forget about Schlittler’s superior performance tonight.

Three Cheers for bringing the SCHLIT !

AboveAverage said...

Not forget
