Wacha vs Cole

 

[Messiah717]

Cole on the mound and we’re about ready to go for game one.

 

[Messiah717]

Three hard hit balls but three outs.

 

[Messiah717]

Second and third with nobody out and Judge strikes out, Gleyber thrown out out the plate and Stanton strikes out. Terrible start.

I hate that contact play especially with a slow runner at third like Torres. Just like all season leaving an army of baserunners

Torres is a disaster. Never recognizes anything. The ball was ripped to first. You can’t go.

 

[mrmel29]

Cole fortunate with some good defenseive plays behind him that it’s only 1-0

Hopefully he found something there because he has been throwing BP otherwise.

 

[mrmel29]

Can’t believe that ball Torres hit went out but I’ll take the 2-1 lead

 

[Messiah717]

Gleyber two run shot makes it 2-1.

 

[mrmel29]

And Cole gives it right back. 3-2 kc

And Cole gives it right back. 3-2 kc

Cole is simply not the pitcher he was before they took his sticky stuff away from him...and not the pitcher we thought we were getting.

 

[mrmel29]

And Verdugo as usual never gets a clutch hit when you need one as we leave another 2 runners on base

 

[yankeesince59]

And FWIW, the sloth that is Stanton cost us a run there....just about anyone else scores from 1B on that double by Cabrera with 2 out.

 

[Messiah717]

Same offensive ineptness.

 

[mrmel29]

Bases loaded and no out. MUSY SCORE HERE

 

[Messiah717]

Tied 3-3 with bases still jammed and nobody out. Let’s go Stanton.

 

[yankeesince59]

Tie game...bases still loaded, nobody out....this could be the ball game right here.

 

[mrmel29]

Yayyyyyyyy. We scored on a walk. 3-3

 

[yankeesince59]

F'n Stanton...should known.

 

[yankeesince59]

Jazz fails too.

 

[mrmel29]

Thank god kc pitchers can’t find the plate. 4-3

 

[yankeesince59]

Yanx take the lead in spite of themselves...on another bases loaded walk.

 

[yankeesince59]

Yanx have left 5 RISP.

 

[yankeesince59]

Cole very lucky Guriel didn't get a HR there...kinda surprised the fans are cheering for him as he walks off the mound after Boone pulls him.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Yanx have left 5 RISP.

No way! Yankees and RISP in the playoffs?

 

[Messiah717]

As usual have squandered chances to bust the game open.

 

[yankeesince59]

Oh goody...Holmes is warming up in the pen.

 

[yankeesince59]

Nice play, Volpe...jackass.

 

[mrmel29]

And our vastly overrated GG shortstop throws a double play ball away
