This might be Cody Poteet’s last start as a Yankee, let’s hope it’s a good one.
First game I ever went to was at YS against KC. My dad, who’s a big Cardinals fan, took me. He loathed Jack Clark for reasons not fully clear to me.
Clark came to bat in the middle of the game and hit a ball over the left field wall that Bo Jackson leapt and caught. My father leaned over and (very seriously) said, “I told you Jack Clark sucks.”
Frank White drove in the eventual winning run. A couple of years ago, I met his son, who’s the director of the transit system in KC, at an industry event. I mentioned to him that I had fond memories of my first game and told him that his dad had been involved. When he figured out that this had been against the Yankees and that I was a Yankee fan, he became noticeably cooler. I later asked a question at the event and he replied, “does anyone have a better question than this gentleman?”
I guess the rivalry really once mattered to people!
Verdugo comes through.
The Braves are never going to score against the O’s, are they.
Rizzo is career 326/925 with bases loaded.
Pity strike
Trevino!
Site problems?
I approve of six runs in the first inning
A six run first should require a spoiler alert. Move the first to the 9th and then start with the second to enhance suspense. Can I do that on Prime?
For some reason I’m getting the Mets game on Amazon instead of the Yankees. Fucking bullshit.
Yankees game here.
Trust Amazon, they know what you need more than you do.
Trying to make it interesting.
Just that 1 run for the Royals, nice.
Lynch IV nearly became the last of the line had that been hit a little higher by Stanton. Oof.
that was an error by Rizzo, I don’t care what they score it as.
He played it like a kid. Embarassing.
Judge with the nice grab.
Every time a Run Fairy leaves, another one comes to take his place.
Vikings beat Broncos 17-9. Or was that the Twins and Rockies?
Mavs cut deficit from 21-3 and they call an iffy 6th foul on Doncic. Guess the Jordan rules don’t apply to fereigners.
Poteet’s pretty good for a sixth starter
I’ve heard good things about the seventh SP on the depth chart too. He’s just been promoted to AAA. Think his name is Garrett Kohl?
