When Ausmus comes to the mound to give instructions to his pitcher, the whole infield team
convenes on the mound with him. “OK guys, let’s huddle up. Wait that’s another sport!”

 

[cagedlion]

Urshela hits sac fly to manufacture 3rd run .

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Runners at the corner 1 out- Urshela lifts a SF to CF, 3-2 Yanx

That's cuz he doesn't know what to say

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Top 12th Frazier doubles to right. On a pick off throw to 2nd Frazier is hurt. Absolutely ridiculous.

Getting his ankle taped up, is he the next to the DL

 

[Lillie]

They will be Okay.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Ford runs like a broken down Chevy

 

[cagedlion]

Do I see the criminal on the horizon? Come on. Do not screw this up!

 

[Lillie]

Here comes The Criminal.

 

[cagedlion]

They are sitting on his fastball. Already a runner on against this overrated reliever.

Chapman gives up a single to the 1st batter. Tying run on & Lucroy AB, who homered (2 run Hr) in his 1st AB.


Torres loses a pop foul near the stands

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Chapman- 10 pickoffs in his career WOWEE

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Angels Runner easily steals second base

 

[cagedlion]

.177 hitter Calhoun hits the ball hard but at Gardner.....2 outs, an out away from a W.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Whatever happened to baBoone's comment from two weeks ago-? "we're turning the corner".

 

[cagedlion]

Cozart up....getting good swings off The Criminal. The count is 1-2..he hits the batter.
Looks as if Cozart wants this more.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

We are turning the corner into a dead end Street; watch out for that brick wall at the end of it

1-2 count, three consecutive foul balls and Chapman hits Cozart. Men on first and second two outs

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Just another classic example why Chapman is not an elite closer I repeat Chapman is NOT an elite closer

Closers slam the door they never open the door of opportunity

 

[Mattingly23NY]

What do you know they just showed the first clip of baboon blowing a bubble, Justice quick this game is tied.

 

[cagedlion]

Brian Goodwin up. This is not the time for ump to squeeze the pitches. Boom.
Single ties score 3-3. Chapman seen feuding with HP ump, Mike Everitt.

Another blown save.

His closer days are fast coming to an end....he, a lefty, gives up hit to a lefty batter.
Shame on him.

 

[cagedlion]

Whatever happened to baBoone's comment from two weeks ago-? "we're turning the corner".

I don’t think we will be hearing that phrase for a while. Let’s hope so.

 

[cagedlion]

Hold my breath. Holder is making his entrance. Bot 13th inning!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Bottom 13th-
Holder vs Trout

Holder a native of Gulfport Mississippi, I didn't know that. Almost went to work in Gulfport in 2001, where the mud never ever dries out.
Katrina destroyed Gulfport, so where did Holder play ball in High School?? Arena Baseball.
Mississippi natives make 4 good Mudshark ballplayers.

Trout strikes out, rarely fooled by change-ups.
1-2-3 13th thru the heart of the Angels lineup...

 

[cagedlion]

Trout has Holder timed. But Holder gets him to SO. Kay is complaining as usual....and it is precisely
what we’ve been saying. BaBoone had his long man reliever (Cessa) pitch one inning. Yankees took a 3-2 lead
He brings in Chapman to close....He failed again.

 

[cagedlion]

Urshela singles in Torres for 4-3 lead Top 14th. Two outs. That’s that! One run.

 

[cagedlion]

Now Joe Harvey will come in to get ( hopefully) the last three outs.

No. He kept Holder in....one out, two outs, they decide to walk Calhoun,
three damn outs.

It’s ovah!

 

[cagedlion]

Yankees take the W. I’m tired. It’s 2:45 AM . Good night all & Rob for your
enlightening barbs & play-by-play. It’s the outcome that counts.

 

[cagedlion]

The star of the game is Gio Urshela. Extra stars go out to JA Happ, Holder in relief tonight.
