Mahle vs German

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Game On!!!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

I utterly detest Correa, in case I haven't expressed as much lately. He's as despicable as Shrek, the Big Sloppy Ortiz!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Gérman struck out the side in the first IP, 1-2-3.

 

[Messiah717]

Higgy with the two run shot to make it 2-0.

 

[Messiah717]

Rizzo homer makes it 3-0.

 

[Messiah717]

German with a perfect four innings with 8 strike outs.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

8 Strikeouts through 4 IP for German. He looks like the Domingo of old, effective with a deceptive hook!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Rizzo homer makes it 3-0.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Cabrera with a foul ball HR; misses the pole by inches.

 

[yankeesince59]

3 runs on 2 hits...cool.

German is so unpredictable...he has nasty movement on his pitches but from start to start, he's either lights out or completely ineffective.

 

[yankeesince59]

Volpe steal 2B...and DJL drives him in...4-0, good guys.

German perfect thru 5 with 10 Ks.

 

[yankeesince59]

2nd and 3rd, nobody out....Rizzo pops up, Stanton rolls over on a 2-0 outside pitch and DJL make a horrible decision to come home and is thrown out by 5-10 feet.

They walk Torres and Cordero grounds out...once again the Yanx leave the bases juiced.

FWIW, they brought in a LHer to face Stanton with runners on 2nd and 3rd and though it was obvious that they were not gonna pitch to him, like a dumbass, he inexplicably tries to pull an outside 2-0 pitch and hits a weak grounder to 3rd. Yeah, DJL should've stayed at 3rd instead of trying to score...but Stanton should not have swung in the first place.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

6.1-IP with 0 BB and a career high of 11 K's for German. 3 H and 1 earned run, as Domingo lowers his ERA.

 

[yankeesince59]

Stanton makes it 6-1 with a loud double.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

2 out single up the middle for Volpe, and another SB too.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Volpe with 3 Stolen Bases on the day.
6 SB's on the year in 6 attempts, and Volpe has yet to be caught stealing.
