Huh, an All-Star pitcher versus Stroman. Yikes. The only way the Yankees don’t lose this one is if it is rained out.
That started well then like The Hindenburg.
Does PGold make that play?
“phenom’s trying to get his swing right.” I know this stat is a total aberration and means nothing but in games where the margin is 4 or more runs phenom is hitting 333/973.
Stroman is almost certainly pitching through pain right now, like a fucking moron.
Do they really have a good alternative?
They don’t have a better option than Stroman right now, but Winans is probably as good as an injured Stroman. As soon as he tweaked his knee, he gave up hits to three of the next four batters.
Way to make Woo work, you fucking dummies.
I still doubt he goes nine, but they’re certainly making it possible for him with these quick outs.
That last pitch by Woo was fucking FILTHY.
Awesome Yankee offense.
They’ve scored 19 runs in the last two games. It’s okay to sometimes acknowledge that the All-Star pitcher on the other team is just having a great game.
Good teams manage to at least hit a few pitches hard. This is embarrassing.
They DID have two hard hit outs (100 MPH and 99.6 MPH).
It’s fascinating when you see a pitcher clearly overthrowing it. It seems so obvious, but I guess sometimes there’s nothing you can do about it.
Wells did whatever the opposite of framing is with that 2-0 pitch.
That mound visit was successful. 😒 Nice job, Beeter, blowing the game open like that.
That was pretty much the picture perfect example of stupid pitching by Beeter. His stuff is so good that you still want to see what he can do, but boy, that was super low baseball IQ pitching.
Beeter era 14.73 which is better than Hartlieb 40.50. This is what Cashman calls depth.
Do the Yankee hitters have money on Woo pitching a no-hitter?
Nobody’s beating Boston scoring 3.
Tampa Bay seemed to be playing over their heads, and now are falling down to Earth.
Red Sox about to win their seventh in a row. Crazy. At least the Yankees stay up 1.5 on Tampa Bay.
At least they’re not no-hit.
Of course NOW they score some runs, once the game was out of reach.
Was about to say down 4, I wouldn’t use Stanton, I’d go PGold. phenom now 215/678.
But you wouldn’t pinch hit him for Martian, right? So I think that’s the spot you need to use him there.
I mean, come on, having Judge up as the tying run in the ninth inning. You can’t ask for anything more than that (okay, I guess I could have asked for Clayton Beeter to not give up three fucking runs).
Jesus Christ, did he hit that shit hard.
Stanton’s first PH HR ever?
Does tying run up, no out, constitute a CT?
Yes, very definitely. Now even MORE CTing with Jazz up with the tying runs on base, and the only out in the inning being an EXTREMELY loud out by Judge.
How about two on, 1 out, down 2, Jazz up?
What a fucking awful strike two call. In such a big moment, too. Fucking umps.
Not close ump
It totally changes the at-bat. 1-1 instead of 0-2 is a HUGE swing.
It should be 3-1 now. Such a big change.
Okay, since he walked, I can’t complain too much about the ump. What a fucking CT.
Walk Wells to get to Volpe.
You KNOW I was thinking that same thing.
Loving Wells making him throw a strike.
That was a great 2-1 pitch by Munoz.
This fucking ump
WELLS! Wow!
Do you pinch hit Goldy for Volpe?
Should’ve but it wasn’t going to happen
Redemption song Tony
SHOULDN’T they have just pinch hit Goldy for Volpe?
Yes, but no way was it going to happen.
He DID hit it hard at least.
Is there anyone to play SS had they pinch hit?
Yeah, Peraza moves to short, and Escarra plays third.
Unfortunately there are no points awarded for a regulation tie.
What the fuck
how did this happen
Williams does have a sick change though
Ruh roh, Polanco 0-2. Scary.
Who the fuck is this Devin Williams and what did he do to the shitty Devin Williams we all knew and loved?
Peraza has GOT to be bunting, right?
glue factory for Peraza
ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME, PERAZA?!?!
Why would anyone in the entire Yankees organization, at any level, teach bunting?
150 hitters need to be able to bunt. Thats partially on Boone and Cashman for not being prepared.
I mean, that was an insanely bad pitch to bunt on. You can’t teach a guy when he’s stupid enough to offer on that pitch.
Not prepared.
So when they choke out this inning, is their plan to just lose the DH spot?
Boone teams are never fundamentally sound.
If I were Speier I would have thrown a different 2-1 pitch
Holy shit, right? Speier must be thinking, “What the fuck!?!?”
Wow, ump, what the fuck? I’ll take it, but that was a PATHETICALLY bad call.
borderline I thought
If they can’t fucking win now with Aaron goddamn Judge at the plate, they should all perform ritual suicide after this inning.
Well, at least that takes away the intentional walk.
who is the guy with the full beard bushy hair and eyeblack?
Let’s see that replay.
What a fucking slide by Volpe!!!
OK Volpe all is forgiven
The smile on his face as he crossed the plate, priceless
The same day his baserunning was shit on, too!
You did good Tony.
phenomenal slide
Mickey Klutts approves of this message
thank you
My wife started screaming at the safe call. Not so fast I warned her.
My wife was on the phone with her sister, and I’m shouting, “Holy shit, I think he’s actually safe!” and her sister was very confused.
I think she started out as not much of a fan? I love that she’s so into it now. Does she ever tell you you’re too negative though?
That slide is Better and better with each slo mo replay!
Hell yeah man
SUCH an amazing slide. My brother was texting me to shit on Raleigh (he has him in fantasy, and wanted him to get another at-bat), and I was saying I don’t think he did a bad tag, Volpe just made an astonishingly good slide.
Colossal game for me to realize the Yanks tied it, free to watch, joined in the tenth when the Yanks traditionally shit the bed, my nemesis Volpe being the hero.
People I might be having another heart attack
Most improbable win of the year…which isn’t hard to say when you hadn’t overcome more than a 2 run deficit all season.
There were something like just two teams that hadn’t come back from a three-run deficit this season. I think the Yankees might have been the last ones to do it.
They hadn’t come back from any deficit trailing after 8.
0-35 trailing after 8
I mean even the best teams in baseball only win a couple games after trailing in the 8th or 9th. What makes a team good is not trailing after the 7th
Oh, 100%. The best teams just win easily.
Um let’s give Wells some credit.
Oh, 100%.
And Williams deserves a ton of credit, too. I guess Ian Hamilton should, as well.
Great win.
Shortest sac-fly ever?
And the wind even pulled the ball further IN a little bit!
Just Baseball: After his walk-off sac fly tonight, Aaron Judge is now tied for the most walk-offs in MLB since 2021 👨⚖️
Katie S: Aaron Judge: 1st career walk-off sac
Could Nicky Lopez be an (temporary) upgrade over Peraza or Vivas? He stinks but as a career 245 hitter he’s not totally an automatic out.
Yankees caught Muñoz tipping from 2nd base, confirmed by Raleigh.
