Did you know that Will Warren is actually fucking SECOND on the Yankees in wins? He’s just ahead of Paul Blackburn and Blake Headrick, who each have seven wins. That’s hilarious.
Good for Anthony for getting back from his injury.
The Yankees need to win this game to win the season series against Boston.
The Yankees are not going to win this game.
Oh well, I guess they will just need to finish ahead of Boston in the standings. This series split helps in that endeavor!
DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?!!!!
…
…
…No? Okay.
I saw Anthony play in Worcester on Tuesday (against SWB) and he looked REALLY good. He’s going to torch the Yankees.
Just wait till we get Dominguez and Volpe back.
Warren did not self destruct…….yet
Meredith says it’s just a matter of getting the inflammation out of Lombard’s knee. Easy Peazy.
This exciting new TV show is called:
That’s So Yankees.
Grisham 2-30 so that’s why Boone is playing Grisham over Spence?
If we can get 3 or 4 lucky hits in a row we should be OK.
Warren looks pretty on it today, I have to say.
Why is Sanchez playing almost every day?
Against the Yankees of the 1990s or 2000s, Suarez would be at 60 pitches after 3.
He’s pitching incredibly uneconomically, and they keep giving him back the pitches, starting. of course, with the incredibly ill-times and predictable double-play.
What a terrible lineup and yet this is the team Cash built.
Are the Yankees taking a serious look at Kellenic. They have him leading off at Scranton.
Spencer has been solid vs. LHP, so he sits in favor of Grisham. Only Boone would do that.
Warren pitching much better than I expected. Yankees hitting about what I expected.
Too close to overturn? There was ground contact.
Look who’s up. I guess you have to bunt. Not that the Yankees will get any of the runners in.
Good thing Ranger is not a good fielder
The Yankees executed their one statistically inevitable bunt for the season!
Good timing, anyway.
A successful sac-bunt followed by a hit with RISP in the same inning.
Followed by another single. Followed by a Heliot 3-run Ballantine Blast.
Say it ain’t so Heliot.
Uh oh Heliot.
Look, pork festooning the treetops!
Now the half-inning of fate.
No one could have predicted this from Warren.
Buckle down, asshole! Just do what you did after all the innings your team DIDN’T score!
Just tell yourself you’re behind in this game and pitch like that.
Actually, just take him out.
Take him out now, BEFORE hie issues ball four.
Holy Toledo.
They’re using up a decades worth of luck in one game!
Where is everyone?
If the answer is: hiding with crossed fingers and hiding your faces, peeking though fingers at the screen, I totally get it.
Hallelujah!
I got religion (no matter that it’s Ahmed who knocked that one in)!
it’s Costanza opposite day
Grisham, 211/711.
We’re not out of the woods yet, but is it crazy to suspect that maybe, maybe they won’t get completely swept out of that series?
If you told me in advance that Warren would have the best performance of any starter this weekend, I would have expected being swept. I don’t think anyone expected him to go 7+ innings or get 7 K’s, just 1 walk and no homers, or let in just 1 earned run. That’s a really good job, arguably better than Schlittler did.
And that’s baseball, Suzyn.
I did not expect the Yankees to be the team *facing* the position player on the mound.
Well, pretty much the outcome we knew we’d get when we saw the pitching match-up.
The Pythag is getting a nice workout.
Sic did you see any of the psycho action on High Stakes poker? Wasserman won am2 Million dollar pot from Robl with a pair of nines and much more.
It’s raining runs.
Would it be against the unwritten rules for Jazz to steal a couple bases here, so he’s closer to getting at least half the 50/50?
Wells: I can hit the position player.
Way to keep the complaining muscles sharp!
Congrats to Andruw Monasterio on lowering his ERA by and to 67.50 just a moment ago.
Wells joins a list of five Yankees before him who have homered twice in an inning.
One did it twice!
I know y’all can name them…
White knuckes time: can they get three outs before giving up 15 runs?
UPD: ONE OUT before they give up 15 runs!
Yes, they can!
So who had the Yankees outscoring the Red Sox by 17 this series?
Incredible stretch against the AL East (Houston, obviously, excluded)!
Yay win! Yay Warren! Yay putting the ball in play!
they were, in order: Gleyber a few years back; A Rod twice; Cliff Johnson (!); Joe Pepitone (!!); and DiMaggio
But never Mantle. Crazy.
I had been thinking Jorge or Bernie, but now realize I’m confusing that with the time they each homered from both sides of the plate in the same game.
There’s one other current Yankee who has homered twice in one inning, though he did it for another team. Can you guess?
Speaking of putting the ball in play, Japan wins the LLWS on a walk-off squeeze bunt.
I’ve been impatient with Ramos. Hope he’s regressing to his career norm vs LHP. But I think we all agree that if he gets any AB’s they should be at Grisham’s expense and not Jones’s.
I assume he’ll play most/all games against LH starters. I’m guessing Jones and Grisham will alternate for the other spot tho Jones should get the job.
Pretend Judge is back. Against RH starters it’s Judge, Cody, Grish or Jones, Rice/Garcia. If Judge needs to DH some games Rice or Garcia need to sit.
Against LH starters it’s Judge, Cody, Ramos PGold/ Garcia or Rice. If Judge needs to DH then Jones or Grish play.
phenom with two home runs today, 8 for the month, he’s at 241/337/566 for August.
Just another day in Tampa Bay with Jorge Mateo driving in the winning run.
… in extra innings, after Mason Miller gave up a game-tying home run (that should have been called a four-base error, as the outfielder caught it on the warning track but then dropped it over the low fence) with two out in the 9th.
So, if Cashman had gotten Miller at the deadline, the Rays might not have won today.
Watched the condensed game. Two thoughts.
1.) If I were playing with friends, I’d count that as a catch. But would the ball have stayed in his glove if the ground didn’t hold it in as the glove turned around? I think pretty plainly the answer is no, and that’s what I think the call was on the replay.
2.) Warren could have had no earned runs. Spencer looked strangely bad on that play, slowing down near the wall when it looked to me like he should have caught it without too much in the way of heroics.
Yeah, the replay made it pretty clear that Rafaela’s glove was open with the ball against the grass. Impressive that the ump was able to see that in real time.
If the ump called it a catch would they have overturned it?
Although, if we take that logic further, I believe his glove would NOT have opened if the ground hadn’t smooshed it open. Without the ground, in other words, it was a catch.
