Tough luck of the draw for the Yankees to get the Royals’ only three good pitchers.
This shit show of a lineup is basically a sacrificial lamb tonight.
Seriously, they aren’t serious.
Gil could pitch a shutout. Revisiting yesterday’s Historic Yankee game.
This is the first game in Yankees history in which the lineup had:
✅0 walks
✅0 extra-base hits
✅14+ strikeouts
phenom could turn singles into doubles and doubles into triples if he got singles and doubles.
Yankees were betting favorites?
Survived……..for now.
.
Judge last 14 days 548, Soto 764
Judge is hitting like he did for a ~4 week period in 2017 after getting injured. Is he hiding an injury?
Mets, no-hit for 8-innings, won their game. How many hits will the Yankees get? Some teams fight, others lay down.
They’re hitting the ball hard against Gil. Yankees are not (I’m shocked.)
phenom needs to learn how to do that.
Game going about as expected. I said 6 hits for the Stinkees in the previous thread, they may not make it.
Soto!
Turned it back on just in time
And then Judge K’s. 🙁
We went from Soto looking like he was done for the season to a lead. Amazing.
Up by 6 two nights ago.
Down by 5 last night.
They couldn’t give Holmes an inning then?
I guess tonight’s his lane.
And Holmes gives up a leadoff single. Followed by another single.
But it’s not the ninth.
Is this considered a blown save? I think so, right?
And it is tied up.
The thing with Holmes is that you know RIGHT AWAY if he has it or not, so he should have been pulled after Witt.
Blown save #12. The first hit was kind of unlucky but then he gave up a hard hit single and some hard hit outs.
So their pen is bad. Right! Right?
He who hesitates is lost, Volpe hesitated and was out.
This team looks for ways to GIDP.
I still can’t believe Boone let Trevino hit there.
Well executed team.
i thought he got the glove there
The Royals pen is bad. Our’s is good.
Pitching around Pham Jake?
Wow.
Great pick-off. But now they’ll have Witt and Perez in the 10th with runner on 2nd. We know how that will end.
We got Leiter Jr. KC got Erceg. They did better than us.
Stanton needs to be the odd man out going forward, platooning with The Martian.
KC’s bad pen 3ip, 0r 2H. Last night 2ip 0r 0H. Maybe we just kind of stink.
concerning
The Yankees way.
Trevi!
O’s lose as Red Sox win on a Tyler O’Neill walk off 3-run HR in the 10th.
Bottom of the 9th Yankees had Stanton, phenom and Vertigo. In other words no shot at scoring. Royals in the 10 had Witt and Sanchez.
Their pen stinks or so I’ve heard, ours is very, very good. How could we possibly lose?
Terrible bunt. Got lucky.
The sound is out of sync with the picture.
Delaying the inevitable.
I hear the ball hitting the catcher’s glove before I see it.
There’s no possible way we lose this.
The right play was to walk Chisholm and strike out Stanton.
And leave the game open for our true MVP, Mr Wild Pitch?
Exactly my thought.
And then it would take a hit.
That was unexpected. O’s on the verge of winning, Yankees on the verge of losing, reverso.
Shocked how Ohtani, without much speed, keeps stealing bases. Almost as if they just ignore him when on base. And he’s catching up the moribund Judge in HR’s.
Judge’s collapse really is something.
August 25th was when he hit his last 2 HR’s.
go yankees
Be nice to bury Boston
Now that judge is not going to get 63 HRS (or even 55) what other records can we look forward to seeing broken?
White Sox 120+ losses
Ohtani 50/50
And Clay Holmes only 2 away from most blown saves in a single season. Cmon Boone – you can help make this happen!
Judge is hurt. After the first round exit he will admit to being “a little sore and banged up”
Then he’ll have appendix surgery
