Okay, if they can’t hit Joe fucking Boyle, then yes, WOE is totally back.
DA RUBBER MATCH
WHO WILL WIN
It’s a four game series. 😉
Rizzo a little slow to react.
That last walk was a pitch well within the strike zone (according to the graphic).
Pitcher-friendly?
But the announcers said nothing.
Brutal swinging strike out from volpe.
Why is he still leading off?
Yankees absolutely determined to ruin his confidence
Gotta keep those early arbitration raises down
Wow. Just a bizarre AB
Judge was absolutely frozen on a fantastic fastball.
The old balk home run move. Honus Wagner used to do that in my day.
Wow.
After the balk.
So lucky.
I don’t think Stanton swung at that until it hit the glove
I hope Schmidt can make those 2 runs stand up. It’s not like they’re going to score in more than one inning.
Does Torres know it’s his walk year?
Aaron Judge is 4th Yankee in last 50 years to have a balked called while at the plate and then hit a HR later in the at-bat.
The others:
Franchy Cordero 4/9/23 vs Orioles
Brett Gardner 7/23/14 vs Rangers
Mark Teixeira 5/18/09 vs Twins

Nice hitting from volpe on that “triple”
Austin Wells is the first Yankees catcher since Bill Dickey to break an 0fer 20+ with a bunt single.
I presume Bleday’s first name is Brickey?
Or B’Rickey?
Schmidt 3rd time thru melt down. A good start becomes a 5 inning bullpen burner.
Against Oakland!
I don’t agree with this pitching change. The bases are empty, let Schmidt finish the inning
Why take him out NOW? Now – bases empty and an out already. Now let him get through six, and maybe beyond. You need to get him used to going farther into the game.
If you took him out with 2nd and 3rd and no outs, I’d have understood.
UPD: shoutout to UJD )
They’re not winning this game 5-3, so more rums needed.
Soto reads RLYW.
very Yankees kind of inning
Pretty sad send. At least Wells got a legit hit after looking bad on the first 2 strikes.
Hamilton up 4?
DJ residual edema, week to week, not day to day.
How did they not know he had an edema?
They were looking for symptoms of appendicitis
No I said edema, not enema.
YANKEES WIN DA RUBBER MATCH
It’s a four-game series.
Another nice outing for Monty.
Schmidt and weaver, huzzah
cortes day, BOO
Soooooooooooooooo……. how are those updates to the site coming, Brian? 😉
Saw a stat that Schmidt has 30 starts allowing 3 runs or less – best in mlb since last year. No reference to innings pitched! Stupid.
On the other hand it means he never gets so bombed that the yanks have no chance to win. So that’s good.
