JULY 26TH TORONTO BLUE JAYS VS NEW YORK YANKEES GAME THREAD

[Mattingly23NY]

I wouldn't know Rob.

me neither, didn't have my spectacles on and just woke up, swore I was seeing everything thru a mirror, now where did my Cheshire cat go.....?

 

[Rick2583]

McCann what the hell was that. Now bases loaded & nobody out.

 

[Rick2583]

Big strikeout. Still loaded now one out. A big DP here P L E A S E!!!!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh shit..........

 

[Mattingly23NY]

can't let that 17 game winning streak get away........

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Do you think O'Neill would come out of the broadcast booth to pinch hit....?

How can someone as bad in all aspects of the game like Roberts get to keep starting

The Bobble Hands Figurine of Roberts, will be passed out this sunday, maybe that will wake Roberts up..ya' gotta say in his prime he was a damn good 2nd baseman, but those times are LONG behind him, nd.....

 

[Messiah717]

Somebody needs to jack one out and tie this thing up.

My guess, there's no one else to put out there.

 

[Rick2583]

Damn it Gardner take the freaking bat off your shoulder.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

I swear the over head cam showed that 3rd strike out call on Gardener WAS OUTSIDE BY SIX INCHES....

 

[Messiah717]

The problem with Gardner is that he seems to be 0-2 constantly.

 

[Rick2583]

2nd & 3rd 1 out in the 9th. Where the hell is Betances? This is his spot. instead we bring in Francis & his near 6.00 ERA.

aahhh shit and shit fire......

 

[Rick2583]

Great fucking move Girardi. 3 run shot off a pitcher who's only good for batting practice. Just the guy to bring in in a crucial situation. Now 6-2

 

[Mattingly23NY]

These are not the Yanx of our Big Brothers. Wait.....we ARE those Big Brothers....!

 

[Rick2583]

Is there something wrong with Betances that I haven't heard about?

 

[Messiah717]

lol you don't bring Betances in a game you're trailing.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Damn it....well......lets play two, or start another skid for another team.....hated to see those 17 games not become 18.....nice streak....

 

[Rick2583]

lol you don't bring Betances in a game you're trailing.

Sorry Vic but I disagree, you're down one run in the 9th & you want to keep it right there to give your team a chance to win in the bottom of the 9th. He has been used all season long to come in & get the big out when needed. And even if we went with your logic why in that situation with the game on the line 2nd & 3rd with only one out in the 9th would you bring in a guy with 6 ERA & couldn't get out his mother?

 

[totus44]

Betances comes in at the spot during a playoff game, no question.

 

[Messiah717]

You can disagree but that's a good way to overuse a guy and potentially injure him. The Yankees play mostly close games so you cannot bring in your shutdown guys when trailing.

 

[Messiah717]

Betances had already pitched two days in a row. You want to bring him in a third straight day while trailing? Makes no sense since you then lose him for the next game.

 

[Rick2583]

Betances comes in at the spot during a playoff game, no question.

First you've got to get to the playoffs & isn't that what the Yankees are trying to do. I mean the Orioles won today so because you don't use a guy to only pitch for 2/3rds of an inning you lose a full game in the standings. I really don't see the benefits there. But hey, JMO.

 

[Messiah717]

The O's are down 3-0.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Yep, you gotta' give Betances some rest..... I do believe by next year we will See Dellin as our Closer..

IMO, right now he's more vital putting fires out in the 7th, 8th, hopefully stem the tide from needing a closer by the 9th, save it early.....Mo' began much the same way, other than he threw 2 Innings in lieu of 1.....

Yet, there will NEVER be another Mo'

I recall watching Rollie Fingers in Oakland often pitch the 7th-9th. Fingers threw 2 innings in more than 2/3rds of his Saves....! Gone too are those days....no more true work horse, yet with so many blown arms, I understand the need to be conservative....

When a manager can only depend on one-third of his roster,
the team has problems.

Your point is Valid.....(don't mean to be to forward, as you sure don't need my opinion to know as much)....!

Boy do I miss the 90s, 70s too, 60s, hell 50s......the 80s a blur....the new millenium,.....not to fond of......

 

[Rick2583]

The O's are down 3-0.

My bad Vic, I was watching sportscenter earlier while I was on the computer & they mentioned about the Orioles winning. I didn't realize they were reporting last night games. Well now lets hope they lose so we can at least keep pace. They're now down 4-0
