[Mattingly23NY]

I just wanna see some close ups of Kate Upton in between every inning !!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Imagine having both Cole and Strasburg on the Yanx SP Staff.
Then-

Pay any team to take Happ.

Convert Heman the German into the next Flash Gordon.
Convert Severino into the next Mo'.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Asstros & Verlander down 2-0 heading into the bottom half of the 1st inning.

Verlander looks tired.

Nats- get "em on, get 'em over, get 'em in-"

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Altuve thrown out attempting to steal third base. Brantley single to Centerfield could have scored him.

Astros stranded 11 last night and now they're throwing away baserunners.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Bregman with a two-run home run to deep left field.

Convert Heman the German into the next Flash Gordon.
Convert Severino into the next Mo'.

Yup, it's been done before. Mo was a setup man in '95 and was not at all successful as a starter.

 

[yankeesince59]

Bregman with a two-run home run to deep left field.

Bregman reminds me of a 3B version of Gardner...a cocky SOB too.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Soto- 3rd XBH in 2 games.

[Mattingly23NY]

Strasburg 2019 Post Season
39 SO / 1 BB

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Through 6 complete innings both Verlander & Strasburg have very similar numbers

Strasburg 114 pitches
Verlander 98 returning for the 7th

 

[Mattingly23NY]

First pitch to Suzuki Kawasaki Yamaha for a homerun

 

[Mattingly23NY]

DC going for the jugular scoring 4 in the 7th and threatening to score more with two outs and two on.
DC scores 2 more as Wonder Boy Bregman Air-Mails the ball 10 feet in front of first off the wall, 2 more runs score

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Home runs are fine but I also like to see a line formed and moved along with small ball. End result a 6 run inning.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

I cannot believe my eyes. Fernando effing Rodney steps in to relieve a 6 run lean. It's time to change the channel not because of the score but because of the aasshole on the mound

 

[Messiah717]

This goes to show what happens when your pitching falters.

 

[Messiah717]

10-2 as Eaton homers.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Maybe Kate Upton is wearing him out, or maybe it's an age thing with Verlander. He has looked tired Imo since the ALDS. Yep it's got to be Kate as well as the DC hitters. Question is which one is been hitting his balls more frequently??

 

[cagedlion]

I’m ecstatic.....sports’ media figured Verlander & Cole to be automatic winners but Nats’ hitters
figured both these guys out....for victories. Nats up 2 games to zero! More pissed Yankee
management did not prepare players for small ball assault.

 

[yankeesince59]

Verlander, like Kershaw, has not faired well in the WS.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Verlander, like Kershaw, has not faired well in the WS.

The 2 will go down as incapable of winning the big one; a shit smear on their resumes.
