German vs Oiler

 

[yankeesince59]

Rays and Jays both lose again...we need to pick up another game on both of them and hopefully soon get back to a double digit lead.

What a dumbass...but the again, we already knew that;




New York Yankees reliever Aroldis Chapman placed on IL because of leg infection stemming from tattoo



OAKLAND, Calif. -- New York Yankees reliever Aroldis Chapman has been placed on the injured list because of a leg infection, manager Aaron Boone said Saturday.

Speaking before the Yankees took on the Oakland Athletics in the third game of a four-game series, Boone said the infection stemmed from a tattoo.

The veteran, who is no longer the closer in New York, hasn't pitched since Aug. 19, though he has been used in several different roles this season. Boone added that he expects Chapman to pitch again this season.

• A seven-time All-Star, Chapman sports a 4.70 ERA this season to go along with a 1.44 WHIP. In his second turn with the Yankees, Chapman will be a free agent this offseason.

The Yankees entered play Saturday with a nine-game lead for first place in the American League East, and they had a five-game winning streak that included a sweep of the New York Mets in the Subway Series.

^^^^^hope he’s out for the rest of the year. Then, whoever is the GM, dump his contract & get him off the team.

Just saw the lineup.BaBoone is batting Donaldson 3rd behind Judge. What does that idiot know that the rest
of us know that’s not good for Judge……or the team!

You beat me to it...I mean, WTF ?

After the game, Boone will say something totally inane, like;

"Though the numbers don't show it, he's been getting good ABs."

 

[cagedlion]

So typical of this team….facing pitcher, Oller, who entered this game with an ERA of 6.41.
The guy has pitched 4 perfect innings. Another WTF?

Luckily for Yankees, German is matching Oller pitch for pitch…..end of 4, 0-0.

 

[yankeesince59]

5 innings, no hits... De'ja vu.

 

[cagedlion]

Cabrera gets first hit of game, a double top 6.

 

[cagedlion]

Yankee base running sucks big time. Twice been caught stealing.

 

[cagedlion]

I really believe this team is over rated. Hard to watch their ineptness at the plate.

 

[cagedlion]

Tight ballgame. I’m waiting for BaBoone to make a fuck-up move.

 

[Messiah717]

No offense whatsoever.

 

[cagedlion]

A fucking joke of a game. Yankees score 2 runs without getting a hit. A bases loaded, two out wild pitch.
They are all laughing. I’m shaking my head in absolute disgust. Putting a runner on 2nd base
is baseball’s answer to idiocy and a sham.

 

[cagedlion]

They are not laughing anymore. A’s tie game on Vogt’s 2 run HR off Marinaccio.

 

[cagedlion]

A’s threatening bot 10. Trevino replaces Marinaccio with 2 on, 2 out.

 

[cagedlion]

Yankees have not scored an earned run tonight…..so far. They in top 11th.
They are not capable of advancing a runner. Pathetic for a first place team.

 

[cagedlion]

Yankee blunder bot 11 gives A’s victory……and of all players…..LaMahieu. Yankees give the A’s a 3-2 victory.


One hit. A well deserved loss.

 

[cagedlion]

Boone…”We weren’t able to do much.” How about your team was not able to do anything resembling
competitive baseball! The Yankees sucked tonight.
