Already off to a fine start, down 1-0 mid-first. But hey, at least The Martian is finally here!
Trying for the DP.
Not a Yankee first inning if they don’t strand multiple runners in scoring position.
Right where they left off, 1-17 RISP since Saturday.
The Royals already not pitching to Judge as they try and get Witt the MVP. Wells has to do better, I expect not much from Chisholm of the 763 career OPS.
Game over.
Ah yes. Rodon.
Yankees the last three full games have scored 3,2,1 runs. Progression tells us they will score 0 today. Why not!
Over to you, Judge. What is the ruling?
EDIT: At least it wasn’t a DP.
And the RISP shit-show continues. Wells twice already.
Last 3 games 1-19 RISP. It’s not just bad pitchers that shut us down. Good pitchers too.
Bad approaches by Yankees hitters.
Jasson.
Verdugo Should be hitting cleanup
Verdugo finds the range. Cashman, Boone, smugly self-satisfied.
Nice game, Wells, two RISP fails, an error, now a DP.
OTOH!
Oh, Gleyber.
This is a special game, so many fails already.
This is why you can only let this dude pitch Game 4 of a series.
I’d prefer he didn’t pitch til Game 8.
I think I still trust him over Nestor and ESPECIALLY over Stroman.
How does Jazz not steal second?!
Kind of surprised they didn’t pinch hit Volpe there.
No, you are supposed to get a hit with RISP, not make all those outs.
Definitely can’t let Cousins close. No sir.
Pigs fly.
Wells comes through.
Austin Wells going to be the Yankees catcher for a while.
But Ben Rortvedt
Walking Melendez? FFS.
EDIT: Then falls behind Garcia 3-0, before K’ing him.
That was SO FUCKING ANNOYING.
Nice to see where Waldo is with these atbats.
At least against RHPs Waldo is a better hitter than Volpe.
TACK ON RUNS?!!? What is this, the year 2009?!
I guess The Martian is not going to play every day.
Is Aaron Judge’s jock in the auction?
Not what I wanted but if he had to do that, this was a good moment.
Nice AB, Judge, another MLB leading DP.
On fucking ball three, too!
Oh, Judge no longer leads MLB in DP’s. Manny Machado has 25.
I think judge needs a day off. Totally off. I also think they should let Holmes close this one. I also think Wells needs to play more,
Hamilton.
This looks like the good Hamilton. He was totally pitching hurt like a fucking idiot, wasn’t he?
O’s lose.
Yay win.
Jets stinking it up on Monday night.
Nightmare scenario, Boston sneaks into the playoffs and knocks us out behind Kutter Crawford’s 2 wins.
