Does anyone understand why The Martian got DEMOTED in the batting order after the previous game?!
Anyhow, let’s hope Fried somehow holds the Padres to negative runs, as that’s the only way that the Yankees are going to win this one. “With a big 0 to negative 2 win, the Yankees take the rubber match of the series!”
Wells to 3 hole moves Martian down
But from a single good game?
I’m shocked that after a good game Wells is in the lineup!
DJ 2/3 667/1234 can we hit the inside straight flush? Pereira 2/4 with a hr #7 in 21 games. Lo 2ip 0r 1h 2k
Can Pereira play third?
Or, I suppose, could Pereira net a third baseman in a trade?
Cease, outside K’s, has been quite bad this season. Naturally, the Yankees will help straighten him out.
Oh my god, get this dude some fucking runs!
Martian is just like night and day versus righties and lefties. The plate discipline, everything, it’s like a whole other guy.
Fried made that look routine.
The Yankees line up, good for what ails a pitcher.
Why are the Yankees being no hit by DYLAN CEASE
channeling Dave Mlicki I guess
He has to get his 1.6 WHIP down someway, the Yankees elect to be the ones to help.
I’d like to see The Martian do what Merrill just did.
Judge Deja Vu
Judge 2 handed that
Yankees hitters, Cease and desist.
Yankees with their one good inning every 10 days. They couldn’t touch Pivetta or King and now Cease.
Score for Fried, he deserves it!
Here’s what I’d do. I’d start by getting a coupla hits. Then a couple more hits, and beore you know it: runs.
At least make it a committee no-hittee.
Cease is a lot like the Yankees headcases. He’ll concentrate because it’s the Yankees, but then he’ll lose focus and get destroyed by, like, the Reds.
Does he concentrate when it’s the Dodgers? Or is this just the usual Yankees nonsense after a game they scored a lot of runs in?
Way to break it up.
I am sure we all expected that from Belli.
C’mon, now get Fried the win
I mean. Not how I woulda drawn it up. But I GUESS it works.
Gotta pull Fried now. No win, but no loss, either.
They shouldn’t be allowed to bring in a LHP to finish the AB.
I mean they could always do it anyway regardless of the circumstances
Cocky to not even bother with a lefty here.
We gonna see Devin tonight?
not a great looking take
Hamilton vs John Adams. I don’t like it.
If he was gonna keep throwing away his shot, then least they pulled him before Burr could pinch-hit.
Unfortunately, Weaver is getting crushed like Charles Lee.
Em-fucking-barassing, Hamilton.
Good job Ian
Can we just skip the 8th inning every game?
predictable really
Weaver coming back down to earth. The Yankee pen just OK, Weaver allows BOTH inherited runners to score. Hamilton shits the bed. Without Devin being a stud this pen is ordinary.
That’s two in a row for Weaver and a recent game where he was hit hard but not scored upon.
He’s just an above average guy who had a nice stretch.
I might become a Tigers fan, although that would mean rooting for Gleyber and I don’t want to do that
Wow this guy’s a keeper.
totally
TPTG!
Mustache man Trent Grisham gave that one a ride. A mustache ride, if you will.
That was the good news. Now the bad news-Devin Williams.
Ithink the Martian’s going to be spending a lot of time riding the bench.
It’s important to go 123. It’s also important to score pre Devin.
No walkoffs since September. And that walkoff was by a guy who is not here anymore, but in Queens.
MULTIPLE pop-ups in the ninth?!
So they’ll have 1-2-3 in the tenth and the Yankees will have 8-9-1. Awesome.
And they still have Estrada to use.
TYMM?
Three fucking pop-ups in the ninth?! Are you fucking kidding me?!
Guy was dealing pure heat, a lot of 100-101 with late movement.
Ok time get my car and beat the crowd, listen to Susie on the ride.
Well, we know how this will end.
They just have the worst fucking losses. Now an extra inning loss is impending.
Looming.
I can’t believe it’s seriously going to be Williams. Too, too funny.
At this point the rest of the team needs to hold Williams down and shave him.
A karmic debt must be paid. It’s the only way.
Reverse split? No walk?
Flirting with disaster Wetteland style. TYM?
Escarra as a PH?
our bench sucks.
come on jc, just a fly ball deep enough will do it.
Peraza or Reyes or JC?
Unlikeliest win of the season.
uber good ending
JC, our hero!
Yay win. Yay Mustache. Boo Beard.
Back-to-back games that they came from behind twice in the game.
JCDWTYMs
remember last year when they gave all that run to verdugo instead of playing trent and martian?
Vertugo is hitting in Atlanta.
“Does anyone understand why The Martian got DEMOTED in the batting order after the previous game?!”
Brian, I presume you meant: given that a good game on a Boone team should get you automatically and unceremoniously benched, how can we explain his being ONLY demoted in the batting order?”
I’m strangely optimistic about this team.
The last few years there were stretches where it felt they just couldn’t win, where they could never come back – this wasn’t like that. They could have won almost all of those games, and the reasons they lost (other than Boone) are problems that could easily solve themselves – Bellinger hitting and Williams pitching closer to their norms, for instance. Some weird failings over this period are far less important than (for example) Rodon finally having the kind of season they signed him for. That would be huge. And I believe Dominguez is eventually going to bust out and become a serious hitter.
I’m pretty concerned about his ability to hit from the right. Obviously, he could develop there, but at what point do you have him abandon switch hitting?
With Grisham hitting so well, it sure seems like they should just routinely sit Dominguez against lefties. Let him figure his shit out against lefty relievers.
