Hate the Jays. They are the Canadian Rays.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Tank will give a quality start, offense needs to crank up and take starch out of their East Division Run.

 

[Lillie]

I hate Joey Bats.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Good old Headley, always finding a way to fuck up a good thing.

 

[blgridesagain]

Nice play by Judge - full lunge makes the catch.

 

[blgridesagain]

These final 27 games will be excellent experience for the Yankee kids with 20 of these games vs good teams who are battling for 1st place or a WC spot.
7 each with Toronto and Boston, 3 with the Dodgers and the last 3 vs Balt.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Exactly, and they need to go for broke, the experience gained will pay off huge in the future.

 

[Lillie]

Austin having a nice game against the Dickster.

 

[Messiah717]

Judge's K rate is reaching absurd proportions.

 

[Lillie]

Why the Fuck did Girardi take out Tanaka??? I missed it now it's 5-3.

 

[cagedlion]

The (pitching) kids did not fare too well..........might as well learn against these Jays.

 

[blgridesagain]

Fasten your seatbelts. The Yanks' soft underbelly is exposed to the Bluejays, they already climbed back into the game as the Yanks' two rookie relievers couldn't shut them down in the 7th, and now Clippard working his 3rd straight game begins the 8th- Yanks lead 5-3.

Not defending Girardi but Tanaka pitch count was 105, I maybe woud have gone 1 batter at a time

Thanks Frank, I didn't know the pitch count was up there.

 

[blgridesagain]

Why the Fuck did Girardi take out Tananka??? I missed it now it's 5-3.

Probably the pitch count (Tanaka 105 pitches) and the preceeding deep flyball. Tanaka left with a runner on first one out and we would like to think the combination of the two rookie relievers could've held the fort.
Holder walked two out of his three batters then Heller gives up the 2 RBI single to Encarnacion.
Encarnation is a fine hitter and he kinda kills the Yanks...but it's time for Holder and Heller to start coming into games and getting OUTS- these kids are now getting opportunities to show what they can do in big games vs good teams- it'll be quite disappointing (imo) if neither of them steps up and show something down the stretch.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Shitty performance of those selected is not Girardis fault, those kids have to be tested, bottom line. When called Clippard pitched well, since being reacquired Good game for TA Dellin actually looked like a closer the past two games. Yankees win.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

I hate Joey Bats.

Joey Bats should be odored everywhere he goes.

 

[yankeesince59]

...the Yanx are "on a mission from God".

 

[Yankeefan5545]

And the Bostons lose to San Diego 2-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah that's what he thinks, personally I think he is an Asshole.
