No one knows WHEN the fuck or IF the fuck this game is actually going to happen, let alone TWO games, but we shall see!
There’s no time to make fun of Willie Calhoun for being so fat if Gil walks him on four pitches.
Don’t like Soto expanding the zone on a groundout.
Austin Wells slap hitter
Another Volpe RISP hit.
Gil 30 pitches 1st inning.
Against that team. FFS.
Surprised Volpe didn’t make that play.
Waldo showing the fans where the real power lies.
It’d be nice if they could scrape together a decent third base/second base platoon between Waldo/Jazz/Peraza next season.
When will Judge hit #300. This week. Next week. Next month. Next year. Can’t hit ’em if they ain’t pitching to you.
Three IP, 68 pitches. FFS. Against a mediocre line-up, no less.
I seriously think what we’re seeing is him feeling he HAS to be perfect against these guys since they suck, so he’s nibbling nibbling nibbling.
That wasn’t good
How is he at 90 pitches in the 4th?
Channeling Phil Hughes.
That bottom of the third seemed oddly familiar.
Was it an example of “battling when you don’t have control/stuff”? Impressive to allow that many baserunners and zero runs.
Almost as if he were facing the Yankees of two weeks ago.
Unbelievable.
How can anyone be this good?
Soto is so good that when he has even a single bad game it stands out.
Yeah, anytime he fails it’s shocking. Just looks weird.
Anyone see on mlb.com the home run hit on that ridiculously high pitch?
I guess it wasn’t greed – a single-admission double-header! Have to give them props for that.
You guys acting all surprised at Gil struggling with walks and pitch count lol. Progress is rarely linear.
Umpires are still such a stupid, stupid idea when we have the ability to just get the calls right.
how did the judge ball not go out?
someone get to the bottom of this
It seems impossible.
Just when Volpe’s looking good – he strikes out swinging at a pitch over his f*ing head.
Ten men LOB and falling apart.
Cousins has been great, but he really needs to work on the long ball.
Anybody just have the audio switch to the Spanish language feed?
Do you even bother having Holmes close it out, or do you just let Weaver finish it, since he likely won’t be available for the second game now?
I’d love to not have Holmes *try to* close it out. Leave him for Game 2.
Another IBB for Judge.
Holmes get the call. How many baserunners will he allow? O/U3.5.
LOL 1, 2, 3.
It’s a good sign when your sinkerballer isn’t trying to live at the top of the strike zone. Been a while with this guy.
Yankees cleanup hitters this season
Austin Wells (63 PA)
.358/.429/.547 (.976 OPS), 2 HR, 9 RBI
Others (441 PA)
.201/.261/.316 (.577 OPS), 9 HR, 47 RBI
Ironically Game 2 cleanup Vertigo
My brother has Judge on his fantasy team, and he is so angry about Soto not batting behind him.
Maybe Warren isn’t better than Stroman.
He did this a few times at Scranton, a 6 era usually doesn’t get you a call up. The Good News he struck out the side,
That was nice, Will. Both Yankees starters struggling against that Angels line up. At least Gil managed to not allow any runs.
You’d have to actively try to have a worse approach than Warren had in that inning. That was some crazy bullshit.
Seriously, why would you pitch to him with a base open?
Now would be a good time for a six hour downpour.
go yankees
A less than inspiring split of a double header.
But if they split every two games from here on in they will win 92 games and make the playoffs. Where they will lose to Houston/seattle/boston but not Minnesota 🙂
Schmidt threw 20 pitches yesterday and will repeat again on Saturday. Realistically can we expect him to be back and effective in time.
Tied again. Boston finally lost but they have all the momentum.
Yeah but they are 6 games behind. They are going to need momentum and a big gravitational force to overtake the Yankees and orioles.
