Game Thread Yankees vs A's Saturday 5/12/18, 1:05 pm

German vs. Triggs

Lineups to follow...

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Let's hope Germán picks up where he left off vs Cleveland. 6 + Innings of no-hit ball.

Since May 1st the bullpen has obtained Game Win & Loss Decisions in 7 of the last 10 games...

 

[cagedlion]

What was Trashman thinking? .........that this team would win the majority of their games 8-6?
The build up with this team was the offense. The starting pitching was shaky, questionable at best.
And the memo in spring training was ......’the Yankees have a strong relief corp...probably the best
in the game.
Well, we are into May......we have seen that good pitching can quiet the Yankee bats. Even weak
starting opponent pitchers can beat this team. And it is not because of the hitting.....it is because
Yankee pitching , starters and relievers.
Do not be deceived. Pitching wins championships. Trashman tends to believe that offense is the
trend toward achieving wins.

 

[cagedlion]

^^^^^with that said.......here’s hoping German can get the Yankees back on track. And you can be sure
German, as a starter this year, was not in Trashman’s plans.

My bet is that Trashman is hoping for a rainout today.....it would be better than watching
another pitching glitch.

Rain in the morning,turning to part sun then thunderstorms at about 5. I think the game will proceed.

Every time the offense would close the gap a Yankee Pitcher would increase it. Even as much as I dislike the Red Sox, Dombrowski does go to games and observe. All Cashman does is show up pre-game to prank opposing managers using gags that we gave up on in 3rd grade. That loss last night was a fucking disgrace, good thing the Blue Jays took care of the Boston.

[Mattingly23NY]

Back-to-back hix goes deep

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Yes Game announcers said: Triggs pitched a Beauty against Baltiwhore h-O's, the 13-25 O's.
My little sister could pitch a shutout against the h-O"s...

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Tell us again how much of a beauty Triggs last game vs Baltiwhore was....

 

[Lillie]

Doo Doo Bat Day and he strikes out.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Hicks just misses home run number to by 5 ft.

Is everyone other than Gardner swinging to hit a homerun every Effing time they come to bat, or is it just my warped perception?

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Doo Doo Bat Day and he strikes out.

Lil' I'll pay for your taxi and ticket if you rush to the park and get me one of those M110 Sir Didi bats, I will Western Union you $100 if you can get sir Didi to autograph it .

The M110 was Donnie baseballs bat of choice for many years. Wally Joyner's too.

 

[Lillie]

Take him out Larry.

Well my Husband is working this Weekend I might be able to pull it off.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Lil', I take that as a no, Your tickets at call waiting!!

PLEASE, pretty Please. I will even call The Dugout and have Judge give you one of his bats, don't ask him 4 any balls though He might take it personal. When you get the Sir Didi bat, please shove it up Trashmans ass, then send that Judge Bat C.O.D. I'll even ensure Judge takes you out to dinner; if I can ever get through to the Yanx dugout, the Operator has me on hold...

I could use another Yanx bat to go with my collection- i.e. one of few

what, really? What are you going to pull off? Judges Jersey now thats worth more than I have...

PS- ya' ever wonder why it takes so long for Rothschild to hook a pitcher? He's got to get Boone's permission, Boone's got to get Trashmans permission, who's got to get Hals permission....

 

[yankeesince59]

WTF is Boone waiting on?

German is throwing batting practice.

[Lillie]

On cue.... ALL RISE.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

I guess Germán had beginner's luck his last outing. Either that or he's dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde...

6-2 WTF, I mean WTF, in case I'm not clear What The Fk ??? 6-2 really....

It's never too late for a Yankee rally big time All Rise!!!!!
Judge delivers two-run home run, remain standing until His next at bat.

4-6 more 2 come, this is a bad Oakland team, being made to look like Charlie o Finley is alive and well....

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Sir Didi breaks his 0 / 30 slump.
