Cobb vs Rodon

 

[Messiah717]

Rodon gives up a single in the first but gets the strike out to end the inning.

 

[Messiah717]

Torres and Soto single to start the inning. Bad call made it 1-2 on Judge and he looked at strike three. Wells grounds to second for the second out.

 

[Messiah717]

Stanton just misses one for the third out. Too many failures like this. First two on and nothing.

 

[Messiah717]

Rodon another good inning.

 

[Rangers94]

Stanton just misses one for the third out. Too many failures like this. First two on and nothing.

To be fair, that second strike on Judge was awful. MLB really needs robo umps/challenge already for balls and strikes. Too many BS calls.

especially when the same pitch to Stanton was a ball.

 

[yankeesince59]

Same old same old Yanx...4 LOB in first 2 innings.

 

[mrmel29]

Already leaving an army of baserunners on. 4 in 2 innings

 

[Messiah717]

Soto with the solo shot makes it 1-0.

 

[yankeesince59]

SOTO !....1-0, good guys.

 

[yankeesince59]

Judge scores on a WP...2-0, good guys.

 

[yankeesince59]

Another WP...3-0, good guys.

 

[Messiah717]

I’ll take the wild pitches lol.

 

[yankeesince59]

9 base runners in 3 innings...only 3 runs...shoulda been 5 or 6.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Soto with the solo shot makes it 1-0.

SOTO !....1-0, good guys.

 

[yankeesince59]

Gotta keep Rodon on a short leash...lately he's been good for the first 4-5 innings...after that, not so much.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Not sure who's worse? Cantillo and his sloppy FOUR wild pitches, OR the Canadian (Missassauga, Ontario ) kid, Catcher Josh Naylor who can't wrangle FOUR wild pitches even when he gets leather on 'em.

Soto gets Walked!!!

 

[yankeesince59]

I feel bad for this young Guardians pitcher...4 WPs in 1/3 innings pitched.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Gotta keep Rodon on a short leash...lately he's been good for the first 4-5 innings...after that, not so much.

He's looked better than I have seen him look all season, but I have not seen him pitch much this year.

The Rodon that I have seen all year should be on the short leash.

 

[Messiah717]

Judge sac fly makes it 4-0.

 

[yankeesince59]

Judge with a sac fly...4-0, good guys.

 

[Messiah717]

Wind keeping Stanton in the ballpark.

 

[yankeesince59]

Stanton just missed another one...not a fan of his but he seems to be on the cusp of one of those sustained hot streaks of his where he's seeing the ball really well.

If that one dimensional SOB stays hot, it could be the difference.

 

[Messiah717]

Some good swings and hard hit balls which is good to see.

 

[yankeesince59]

Rodon gives up a HR...I called it. If he allows another base runner this inning, take him out !

 

[yankeesince59]

I though Ramirez had left the park with that one...looks like Holmes will be starting the 7th...oh goody.

 

[Messiah717]

Another run would make me feel better.

 

[Messiah717]

Playoff Stanton

 

[yankeesince59]

Stanton, yup, he's hot....he smoked that HR...5-1, good guys.
