Yankees are favored to win tonight’s game.

 

[cagedlion]

Thank you Mets…..for rearranging your pitching rotation. It’s good news that the Yankees do not have face
Jacob deGrom.

 

[yankeesince59]

Montas walking a very thin tightrope in the first.

Montas walking a very thin tightrope in the second.


Both of the first two innings, Montas puts the first two batters on base...needless to say, he can't keep doing that.

 

[mrmel29]

In the 2nd too

 

[yankeesince59]

Same ole Torres...swinging as hard as he absolutely can, even when they are out of the strike zone...then stands there as a called strike 3 goes whizzing by.

So tired of his shit...for the umpteenth time, shoulda traded him when he had value...completely mediocre hitter, completely mediocre defender.

 

[yankeesince59]

In the 2nd too

HA !!!...beat you to it.

 

[yankeesince59]

Montas retires the first batter in the 3rd...WOOOO HOOOO !!!

 

[yankeesince59]

Frankie fans the first 2 batters in the 3rd.

Here's to open he's finally settling in.

 

[yankeesince59]

Strikes out the side...***CONFIDENCE BUILDER***

 

[yankeesince59]

Another 1-2-3 inning for Frenchie.

 

[mrmel29]

Don’t like a DP machine like lemehieau in front of judge.

 

[mrmel29]

All rise and I rest my case

 

[yankeesince59]

Judge, with #48...1-0, good guys.

 

[yankeesince59]

Don’t like a DP machine like lemehieau in front of judge.

If you look at the players with the most DPs, you'll only find good hitters...in fact, I believe Pujols is the all time leader.

 

[yankeesince59]

Yup...just checked...here's the all time leaders in GIDPs; (stands to reason that most are RHed batters)

Albert Pujols 423
Cal Ripken, Jr. 350
Miguel Cabrera 349
Ivan Rodriguez 338
Hank Aaron 328
Carl Yastrzemski 323
Dave Winfield 319
Eddie Murray 316
Jim Rice 315
Julio Franco 312

you are correct. I’d just rather see DJ hitting behind and protecting judge instead of in front of hom

 

[yankeesince59]

Walker walks in another run...2-0, good guys.

 

[cagedlion]

Base on balls is killing Mr.Walker! Good guys up 2-0, bot 4

I don't think DJ is gonna make pitchers squirm hitting behind Judge...that's where Rizzo and Stanton come into play...just my 2 cents.

 

[mrmel29]

Wish IKF could have gotten a big hit there and broke open the game

 

[yankeesince59]

Catcher's interference on Higgy...damnit...1st and 2nd, nobody out.

 

[yankeesince59]

After a sac bunt, 2nd and 3rd, 1 out...Need a strike out from Montas here.

Edit; A line out to DJ, just as good.

 

[yankeesince59]

Cabrera with a rocket throw home to nail the 2nd runner...2-1, good guys.

 

[Messiah717]

Cabrera with a rocket throw home to nail the 2nd runner...2-1, good guys.

Made a perfect play there.

 

[yankeesince59]

Made a perfect play there.

Yeah, the kid is making a statement to stay with the Yanx.

 

[yankeesince59]

Beni starting to square the ball up nearly every time.

 

[yankeesince59]

Torres is completely braindead....did you completely forget about Alonzo who was between 3rd and home before trying to get the runner at 2nd?

 

[mrmel29]

Another braindead play by the mentally challenged gleyber. Slow runner coming home and he doesn’t even look at him. Instead tries to beat the runner back to second. They can’t trade this idiot fast enough for my liking.

 

[cagedlion]

OMG! What a bonehead play by Torres & IKF. Game tied 2-2.
This play is the fault of both players. Torres focused on the wrong runner.IKF did not
give Torres any support with him watching McNeil scrambling back to second instead
to tell Torres to throw home.
Where the hell is team work on this club?
