Yankees are actual underdogs in tonight’s game at Yankee Stadium……..two teams going in opposite directions.
Consensus says the obvious does not always happen when these 2 teams clash.

 

[Messiah717]

Benentendi hbp to get on and then Judge with the strike out.

 

[Messiah717]

Rizzo with the looper over the SS to make it first and third with one out.

 

[Messiah717]

DJ with the sac fly to make it 1-0.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Nice defensive play by Donaldson to Stretch Rizzo!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Vogelbach was scouted from a Tijuana Bull Ring, and he wasn't the Matador either...

 

[Mattingly23NY]

 

[Messiah717]

All rise. Judge makes it 2-0.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

All Rise.
The short drought is over

 

[yankeesince59]

ALL RISE !!...2-0, good guys.

[yankeesince59]

Whew...thought we were in trouble there...German wiggled out of it though with an easy DP.

 

[yankeesince59]

Game is now official.

 

[Messiah717]

Benintendi RBI double makes it 3-0.

 

[cagedlion]

Sherzer is making mistakes. Benintendi drives in Yankees 3rd run.

 

[yankeesince59]

Beni makes it 3-0.

 

[yankeesince59]

Damnit...Judge just missed that one.

 

[yankeesince59]

Rizzo just missed too...I thought both balls were gone.

 

[Messiah717]

And Rizzo just misses on a pitch that was just a bit too high. Didn't quite drive it.

 

[yankeesince59]

Damn...12 pitch AB by Mccann

 

[yankeesince59]

Good bounce back by German...seems like he's got every first pitch over for a strike tonight.


Edit; just checked, he's 13 for 20 in first pitch strikes.

 

[Messiah717]

Error and what should've been an easy fly out.

 

[Messiah717]

Now a two run homer by Vogelbach on a hanging curve makes it 3-2.

 

[yankeesince59]

God damnit !

 

[yankeesince59]

Quick hook by Boone...wasn't German's fault his defense let him down.

How much confidence y'all got in the BP?
