We’ve already punted this game.
Shoe-man @ SS?

JM said...

Oy vey.

TheWinWarblist said...

Who the fuck is Brendan Beck?

AboveAverage said...

Mr and Mrs Beck's Son

AboveAverage said...

Hey back to back triples ain't something one sees everyday

JM said...

Is this the Beck who did I'm a Loser Baby?

AboveAverage said...

Let’s see how many more dingers he gives up and that should answer your question

JM said...

What happened to the Martian?

BTR999 said...

2nd round draft pick a few years ago. Of course, immediate TJ surgery.

ranger_lp said...

Crashed into the wall...

JM said...

Tim, Tim, Tim. Tsk tsk.

JM said...

Fuck.

BTR999 said...

Hurt again

ranger_lp said...

Spencer Jones…c’mon down…you’re the next Yankee!!!

BTR999 said...

LOL, let’s hope not

BTR999 said...

Also out : José Caballero (left elbow contusion)

BTR999 said...

Maybe Jones + Volpe can rideshare to the Bronx

JM said...

I can be a little harsh on outfielders, thanks to DiMaggio. He said a lot of so-called great catches would not have needed to be so dramatic if the outfielder had taken a better route to the ball and got a better jump.

Over time, I've noticed that is true. And sadly, if Dominguez had been a bit better of an outfielder, that slam into the wall would not have happened.

That's something that never comes up when noting any deficiencies in a player's defense. I think even an acceptable lack of skill can be dangerous for the player. Like with Jasson.

AboveAverage said...

martian + wall = volpe and a large take out order of chicken parm

JM said...

Nice hit, Grish.

JM said...

Where the hell is Beeks?

JM said...

Winn will not win.

TheWinWarblist said...

Was (Not Was)?

JM said...

Bird warming up. Five run lead may not be enough.

JM said...

Yeah, like that.

TheWinWarblist said...

Max Schuemann?

JM said...

Bud's brother.

Jazz is really an idiot.

TheWinWarblist said...

The Martian made a very nice play against the wall and hung on for the out. May have a concussion. Weathers has the flu, puking and crapping Suzyn says he lost 9 pounds.

HoraceClarke66 said...

All right, I apologize for doubting Weathers'...intestinal fortitude?

JM said...

We survived Bird, but Doval... Jesus H. Montero.

HoraceClarke66 said...

So, The Martian out with concussion protocol. I assume that'll be okay. The bigger fear is the MRI on his left shoulder.

JM said...

It takes guts to change your mind like that, Hoss.

TheWinWarblist said...

Thuuuuuhuuhuuhuuh Yankees Win!!

TheWinWarblist said...

And this garbage pile keeps winning.

JM said...

I have to watch that play another couple times. I don't see why he slammed into the wall with such force.

ranger_lp said...

That’s the one second warble…

ranger_lp said...

Thought he misjudged the scoreboard…

ranger_lp said...

I meant the advert screen

HoraceClarke66 said...

Michael Kay's sign-off? "All things going well for the Yanks."

I keep forgetting that was what his grandfather telegraphed from the Titanic: "Just a little turbulence! All things going well!"

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Can I start calling Doval "Bhopal"?

Because he's a disaster.

TheWinWarblist said...

He caught the ball. Last year it looked like making that catch was beyond him.

TheWinWarblist said...

"Bhopal" Doval?

BTR999 said...

Fact is, Weathers has never pitched more than 95 innings in any big league season,.

Whether Weathers will weather this illness is up in the air

BTR999 said...

Dominguez to the IL with AC shoulder sprain.

BTR999 said...

I really don’t want want to dump on a young player, but a less clumsy outfielder, say Brett Gardner, would have put himself in position to catch that ball without having to smash into the wall. Now he’s down 4-6 weeks, minimum.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Got certain ring to it, doesn't it?

Hinkey Haines said...

I prefer Pineapple. Or maybe just Dole.
