Alex Cobb vs Clarke Schmidt

 

[yankeesince59]

F'n HP Ump rings up DJL on a pitch that was 1/2 foot outside.

 

[yankeesince59]

Bad throw by Cobb gives the Yanx a 1-0 lead.

...Ducks on the pond and Donaldson and Torres both stand there with the bat on their shoulders and watch a called strike 3 go by.

 

[yankeesince59]

Volpe gets his first MLB hit...then steals 2B without a throw.

Can't ever remember eagerly waiting for a #9 hitter to come to bat.

 

[yankeesince59]

Stanton with a oppo field seats laser...2-0, good guys.

 

[Rangers94]

So we have a pitch clock to speed up the games, we have quicker replay to speed up the games, and we have home plate umpires fucking up games with their strike zones to speed up the games. MLB isn’t unwatchable because of the length of the games, is unwatchable because of these umps. For the love of god, bring in robo umps!!!

 

[yankeesince59]

Donaldson and Torres both once again fail miserably with runners on 2nd and 3rd.

Boone once again proving what we already know...he can't manage the bull pen for shit.

 

[Messiah717]

Boone already in mid-season form when it comes to the bullpen.

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^ "Great minds..."

 

[Messiah717]

Volpe will have growing pains at bat and in the field. Got caught going the wrong way and then couldn't snag what should've been as easy play.

Yeah, he'll struggle maybe at first...but that line drive had a ton of topspin on it and dove down at the last minute...and he's making decent contact at the plate and not at all over-matched...I hope to be watching this kid for the next 15 years.

 

[Messiah717]

Donaldson with the homer makes it 5-4 Giants.

 

[yankeesince59]

Donaldson makes it 5-4, bad guys...storm on the way.

 

[Messiah717]

Holmes with a great effort to just about seal it for SF.

 

[yankeesince59]

Same shit, different year...Boone can't manage, poor situational hitting, and a BP with Tourettes.

 

[yankeesince59]

Pinch hitting Hicks?...seriously?

 

[Messiah717]

Volpe singles while the umpire screwed Hicks out of a walk.

 

[Messiah717]

DJ walks after another crap strike call. Judge the tying run at the plate.

 

[yankeesince59]

SF stalling with the tying run at the plate.

 

[Messiah717]

Judge singles to make it 7-5. The winning run comes to the plate in Rizzo.

 

[yankeesince59]

7-5, bad guys.

 

[Messiah717]

This home plate ump is garbage.

 

[Messiah717]

And the bases are loaded with one out for Stanton.

 

[Messiah717]

Stanton that's an awful job. The pitcher is lost at 2-0 and you swing. Need to take a pitch.

 

[yankeesince59]

DAMNIT !...again, terrible situational hitting.

 

[Messiah717]

DAMNIT !...again, terrible situational hitting.

Yup, it's 7-5 with the bases jammed. Why are you swinging 2-0 when the pitcher is absolutely lost?

 

[mrmel29]

First of what I think will be many terrible losses. The 2nd and 3rd no outs and no runs scored sticks out. Bullpen is underwhelming. Boone is underwhelming, this umpiring crew sucks ass and cashman has put together the worst 295 million roster in baseball history.

 

[mrmel29]

The Martian should have made the opening roster. Kid didn’t look out of place, can hit, field and run. Instead we’ll be watching guys out there playing that aren’t that good

 

[Messiah717]

Have a drink Mel lol. It will be ok.

Not only will we be stuck watching them but we will also have to hear BaBoone constantly talk about “great at bats (that are just routine fly balls and ground balls)” and how guys are “real close to hitting top form” while going 0-4. Fucking circus this franchise has become. I really wish there was some way to force Steinbrenner to sell the team to someone who would put together a staff and players that want to win and know how to win as opposed to all these “yes men” for him and Trashman.
