Obviously, I guess it’s POSSIBLE that he could suck tonight, and still end up good for the season overall, but I think it’s probably fair to say that if Rodon sucks tonight, he just fucking sucks, so this becomes one of the most important starts of the season for the Yankees. They really need Rodon to not suck.
Stros playing like the Yankees.
How will they squander this?
“Anthony Volpe reaches on a fielder’s choice, fielded by shortstop Jeremy Peña. Anthony Rizzo to 3rd. Alex Verdugo to 2nd. Throwing error by shortstop Jeremy Peña.”
Insufficient explanation. What kind of hit to SS, what was the throw? Home?
Volpe hit it softly basically directly to Pena who tried to scoop it to Altuve but missed wide (Verdugo might have been safe if the throw were accurate)
Thanks, Clay!
This ad is very boring.
And GD’s not showing a run yet. A challenge?
Well, how about that.
Enjoyable.
Waldo left on left for his 4th hit now hitting 750/2000.
I think Stanton may have bitten Judge under a full moon.
Judge really clogging up this lineup! )))
When you get a lead, it’s important for your relievers to nibble and throw balls.
Oh my! I am so enjoying the Cheatstros infield play in the 8th inning.
Judge to himself: I do not want another plate appearance in this game.
Altuve, I remind us all, should have been banned from baseball.
Well that was weird
The DEFINITELY stole this one
Keep on stealin’!
Caldera Gleyber was concerned about his throwing after being struck on right thumb. X-rays negative per Boone.
Soto had twisted his ankle, reason for attention from training staff, but he’s OK.
Soto walked to force in a run, but watch the catcher frame that pitch.
It didn’t work, but – damn!
