Cole vs Sears

 

[cagedlion]

Yankees should romp. Ex-Yankee JP Sears will be psyched for this game. He was part of
the Frankie Montas trade.

This looks like the game we’ll leave a small army on the base paths

 

[cagedlion]

Yankees held scoreless by Sears through 4. In a jam top 5.

 

[cagedlion]

Judge hits 49 HR for 3-0 lead, top 5.

 

[mrmel29]

All rise. Judge hits 3 run blast to dead center and yanks up 3-0.

 

[cagedlion]

JP Sears made one mistake, otherwise he kept Yankees in check. Yankees left many runners on base throughout
the game.

 

[cagedlion]

Cole gives up HR to a .224 hitting 2nd baseman in 7th…..this was Oakland’s 2nd hit of the game.
Yankees 3 Oakland 1 end of 7.

 

[cagedlion]

Loaisiga pitching the 8th inning.

How many times have Yankee catchers committed catcher’s interference? Unreal.

 

[cagedlion]

Peralta is not the pitcher you want protecting a 2 run lead, but BaBoone continues to call this guy to pitch the 9th….
and of course, he gives up 2 hits and 1 run. Yankees win 3-2 in a game that should never have been this close.

One swing by Judge…and that’s all they could muster. Ugh!

I hate these west coast games.

 

[yankeesince59]

Picked up a game on the Rays and Jays.

Can't believe the contract the Mariners gave the rookie Julio Rodrigez...could max out at $470 Mil with $210 Mil guaranteed.

New York Yankees activate Giancarlo Stanton from injured list, place Nestor Cortes on IL with groin injury (espn.com)

That reminds me of what clueless Bush gave A Rod.
