Taillon vs Verlander

Peraza is on the alcs as the good news. Bad news is IKF, who killed us in game 3 with his misplays and was deemed enough of a defensive liability to be benched for games 4 and 5 is back starting at shortstop while their best defensive shortstop sits on the bench. Cashman and Boone trying to be the smartest guys in the room again

Sucks no DJ for this series.

 

[mrmel29]

Looks like DJ’s body is breaking down. Wish benintendi could have been available

[Mattingly23NY]

Hicks will not play the rest of the Post Season!

 

[yankeesince59]

Donaldson fails once again.

 

[mrmel29]

Nice swing Josh. That was embarrassing

Must be a very small room.

Verlander buckles Donaldson''s knees with a 81mph offspeed curveball. Josh swatting at it like a fool, not even close...

 

[yankeesince59]

Stanton has no business in LF.

 

[mrmel29]

Great grab by judge saving 2 runs

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Ball hit over Stanton's head! WTF is Stanton doing in the field.

Judge with a diving catch in the RF-CF gap!!!!!

Ball hit over Stanton's head! WTF is Stanton doing in the field.

!

They say it is Stanton's first game in LF since July.

 

[mrmel29]

Attempt to score more runs to stay with the Astros by getting carpenters bat in the lineup. Sacrifice a little defense to maximize some more offense. What I don’t understand is IKF at shortstop instead of Peraza

 

[mrmel29]

And bader with a long homer to make it 1-0 yanks

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Bader is driving me nuts playing with his mouthpiece.

Bader smashing a HR up on the train tracks.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

 

[Mattingly23NY]

I Hereby anoint thee Darth Bader!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

GT swinging for the fences pops out. Only one thing in his mind, HR HR HR...

 

[Mattingly23NY]

It's Sweet to have a Gold Glove 1st Baseman!
Can you imagine having 9 Gold Glove players at every position? I doubt that has ever occurred, a Team with 9 past and/or present Gold Gloves.

 

[mrmel29]

How the fuck does Josh Donaldson continue to bat fifth and suck ass every time up. Get your bat on the ball U dick

 

[yankeesince59]

Fuck you, Donaldson.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Look at Judge spitting out sunflower seeds in the batter's box.
Where the hell is the discipline from the Manager?
The discipline not to play with sunflower seeds while in the field, on the field, on the bases, or fielding a position,... NO sunflower seeds on the field of play! No distractions! I can see Judge choking on a shell anyday now.... It will happen eventually, it's inevitable.
Not even little Leaguers are allowed to chew sunflower seeds while batting or on the field... It is a distraction and bad practice for concentrating...

 

[yankeesince59]

Verlander not on his game tonight yet the Yanx keep letting him off the hook....don't like out chances tonight.

 

[Stepupstepan]

A parade of stranded runners on base.

 

[mrmel29]

Not his fault but carpenter missing 2 months will take a couple of weeks to get going. Need to find an alternative and put Stanton back at DH. How many shitty games on offense does boones boy Joshy get before they play someone that can make contact. He kills a rally every time up!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

The shift is on for Carpenter, with no one home at third base Rizzo is leading off halfway to home plate.

Verlander throws the perfect inside fastball to Carpenter, and Carpenter goes down looking! Never go down looking- go down in flames swinging!!!

A lot of simple fundamentals being overlooked with this Yankees team.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Is Darth Bader fast enough to play both center field and left field also?

 

[Stepupstepan]

they should bring Bader back for a couple of years. ah, I see he is signed for next year
