Extra Vitamin K ...

Touché, sir!

 

[Lillie]

Just let them Play 1 more Inning.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Got called to supper after the Torres bomb, come back to find LeMahieu got one to put the Yanks up 6-0 then the rains came. What a crock of shit. LeMahieu Yankee MVP in '19 on both sides of the dish.

 

[cagedlion]

I cannot watch Boner interviews with media staff. He never gives real reasons for roster/ player moves.
He double talks really well.....on a par any politician. Yada, yada, yada.......

This guy can put me to sleep.

One revealing comment......when asked about Severino....Boner responds,
“I do not want to talk about that.”

 

[cagedlion]

Cortes Jr. is one pleasant surprise in these “Opener” games. Does he come out to pitch the 5th inning?

Yes, he does.

 

[Lillie]

Take him out Boner.

 

[cagedlion]

Stros hit back to back HRs after two quick outs. Yankees 6 Stros 2

 

[Lillie]

Maybin 8-2.

 

[cagedlion]

Maybin doubles two more runners home. Yankees 8 Stros 2

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Maybin: the man has earned his pinstripes in more ways than one. I sincerely hope the Yankees can keep him on.

 

[cagedlion]

I’d like to see Cashman put Maybin “on assignment”. I’d personally kick the GM out the door! Lol

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Hale with the Hershey Squirts, Offense aside between shaky bull pen pitchers and Boners inability to lead diminishes confidence game to game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cagedlion]

What was DiDi thinking? On the automatic fly rule, you cannot fake catch the ball to get a DP.
Only the batter is the automatic out.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Hale, Yankee Dodles Pony saved your ass onight with a lucky horse shoe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cagedlion]

The Parrot is out on Encarnacion’s arm. That ball left the yard in a NY second! NYY 10 - Hst 3.

 

[Lillie]

Walk The Parrot 10-3.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Damn Boner, are you watching Hale, for Gos Sakes get him the hell out of there.

 

[mrmel29]

What was DiDi thinking? On the automatic fly rule, you cannot fake catch the ball to get a DP.
Only the batter is the automatic out.

That is correct but if the runner at 2nd doesn’t know the rule and he thinks he has to run to 3rd didi tags him for the easy out. Didi knee he had the out and was trying to catch the runner at 2nd sleeping

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Anyone watching this game who thinks the Yankee Pen is ready is wrong! Hale is struggling to finish the 9th and Boner just sits on his ass as he score tightens.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

The Yankees were lucky to win this game, good offense, absolutely putrid relief by the pen.

 

[cagedlion]

What is the significance of how hard a ball is hit even for outs.......another ridiculous stat. For me, a hit is a hit....
I do not care how hard the ball was hit. For me, just another insignificant stat.

 

[cagedlion]

I want to thank Boner for knowing how to drag on a game with minor league farm hands. Even Michael
Kay could not make this game exciting! It just dragged on and on and on. Boner, all in the name of
saving your bullpen. What a crock!

 

[cagedlion]

Maybin will stay on the Yankee team.......from Jack Curry.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

To open a spot for Maybin the Yankees optioned Cortes who in fact did a better relief job than Hale. Glad they decided to keep him he;s done a nice job for the Yankees and is proud to be with the team.
