Criswell vs Cortes

Torres homer has the Yankees up 1-0.

Torres homer has the Yankees up 1-0.

If they can win this series vs the Sox and the upcoming series vs the O's, the Yanx should be in good shape as far as winning the division goes.

(I hate that damn 1 game W/C playoff format..should be at least the best 2 out of 3)

 

[yankeesince59]

Chisholm has really surprised the hell outta me with his all-around play...still not crazy about the back pocket hanging out thingy.

 

[yankeesince59]

Remember how at the beginning of the season when Volpe finally abandoned that damn upper cut swing and instead started using a more level swing and got much better results ?

Looks like he's inexplicably reverted back to the uppercut/HR swing...and his subsequent lack of production is hurting him and the Yanx.

 

[Messiah717]

1-1 in a tight one. Really need this offense to get some consistency.

Plus, for a guy who can steal bases his lackluster on base percentage doesn’t help.

 

[Messiah717]

Wells lead off single and then Stanton swings and misses on a 3-2 pitch he should’ve killed.

 

[mrmel29]

Volpe has left an army of baserunners this season. He need to figure it out soon.

 

[mrmel29]

First and 2nd for the martian

 

[Messiah717]

First and 2nd for the martian

Would love to see a big blast from him here. I’ll take an RBI though.

 

[Messiah717]

Ugh another mental error as Jazz gets picked off.

 

[mrmel29]

Jazz caught halfway to 2nd with a runner on 2nd. Another Yankee fundamental brain cramp. Outside of a botched double steal I don’t have an explanation for that

You have to know Wells isn’t going.

 

[mrmel29]

You wouldn’t think so but again we are talking Boone here! LMAO

 

[mrmel29]

And as usual volpe leaves another army of baserunners on the bases.

 

[Messiah717]

Like Ron said. Volpe went away from what was making him successful to start the season.

 

[mrmel29]

Need a run here to walk off otherwise we’re headed for bullshit baseball

 

[yankeesince59]

Oh shit...Holmes coming in for the 10th...not even gonna watch this shit.

 

[mrmel29]

I’ve started taking my tums already

 

[Messiah717]

Oh shit...Holmes coming in for the 10th...not even gonna watch this shit.

Thankfully a nice inning. Now win it.

 

[mrmel29]

And Soto wins it

 

[Messiah717]

Soto wins it with a single as Berti motors home again.

 

[yankeesince59]

Sorry I didn't watch the end...Holmes double crossed me !
