Stacking up to be a pitchers' duel...Rodon is fired up after striking out the side in the 1st.

 

[yankeesince59]

C'mon Judge...you gotta do better than that.

 

[Messiah717]

Judge is becoming the antijeter.

 

[yankeesince59]

First 2 batters reach...Judge, Wells and Stanton come up small.

 

[Messiah717]

Judge is 10-77 .130 in his last 19 postseason games including this with 29Ks

 

[mrmel29]

Rodon is sharp but it will be for naught if we continue to not score runs and leave an army of runners on the bases

 

[Stepupstepan]

It’s comical at this point with Judge. Give me a star player who hits in the playoffs and has very good regular season. I don’t need the guy having these monster regular seasons and stinking up the joint when it matters the most

 

[yankeesince59]

Terrible called 2nd strike on Berti...should've been ball 4.

Give me Bernie Williams over this shit.

 

[yankeesince59]

Judge just missed that one.

 

[Messiah717]

Good job Stanton.

 

[yankeesince59]

Yanx take the lead, 1-0.

 

[mrmel29]

Well, that lead disappeared in a hurry. Stop letting this guy beat us

 

[Messiah717]

Bad mistake by Rodon there. Pham just chased a bad pitch. Hung a 1-2 pitch right there.

 

[Messiah717]

3-1 as Rodon lost it unfortunately.

 

[Messiah717]

Hamilton immediately gives up a single to make it 4-1. Bad news.

 

[yankeesince59]

4-1, bad guys...that may just wrap this game up.

 

[mrmel29]

And Boone brings in Ian Hamilton who sucks ass. This is what Boone does. Concedes games early by bringing in our lesser pitchers

 

[Stepupstepan]

Typical Boone/cashman teams in the playoffs. They're always so predictable. lol

 

[Mattingly23NY]

HP UMP is stretching the K-Zone. Pitch #5 (Ball) to Soto was a called strike!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Berti playing like a mud-shark!

 

[Messiah717]

2-18 so far this series with RISP. Nothing changes and the negative result will be the same.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Cousins takes the mound, and he hasn't seen any action since September 19th, wtf

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Giancarlo with the only Yankee RBI, who would have thought it?

 

[Messiah717]

I always hope for the best but this is exactly what I was afraid would happen. They’re not built for playoff success.

 

[Messiah717]

4-2 loss. Lucky not to be down 2-0.

 

[Messiah717]

Well, they will see Lugo in game three who was dominant the last time they faced him. I also don’t expect Witt to be quiet in his home park. Unfortunately, unless something drastically changes within this lineup it’s will be the same story of facing elimination in game four.

You're just trying to cheer me up, right?
