Game Thread Yankees vs. Dodgers Friday 8/23/19, 10:10 pm

Paxton has for the most part kept Dodger hitters off stride with a 97 mile per hour cross Field delivery. And his 81 mile per hour change up curveball.

Aaron “BAJ" Judge's locker had a painted bat emblazoned with the words "Judge Man" that, as part of the design, featured the .179 batting average that Judge compiled through his first 29 big league games.

It is a number that Judge has said is also pinned to the top of his iPhone notes folder, a constant reminder to remain humble.

Leave it to Orel Hershiser to remind us Yankee fans our team has not won a pennant since 2012... Thank you Orel, now stfu...!!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Bellinger with his 681 Ops vs South paws goes down swinging with no clue versus Paxton. Paxton blows the ball by him, again...

Didi slams Ryu right out of the game. Gardner doubles in Urshela. Yankees take one giant step to
ending their losing streak. Yankees 7 Dodgers 1.

Well now wait a second Aroid is calling this game???

 

[mrmel29]

The weeping willow pitching his best game of the season. It’s about time. Keep it up

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Damn, looks like Paxton diapered down and some offense showed up.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

My bad on calling GT's home run when it was Sancheeto. Wishful thinking?

Sir Didi hit's a grand salami into downtown LA.

Paxton looks masterful. Zero base on balls. Only 4 hits with nine strikeouts..
Between his 97 mph fastball that looks like a sideways slider and his 81 to 87 mph curve balls, Dodger batters cannot sit on either pitch.

Hershiser talking about the 88 World Series in the bash Brothers sitting and waiting for the curb all they never saw.

if I'm not mistaken the bash Brothers combined were 2 for 22 or something like that in the entire series

8-1 6th Inning.

 

[cagedlion]

BaBoone takes Big Maple out after 6.1 innings pitched. Brings Kahnle in & he promptly gives up RBI
double. Yankees 8 Dodgers 2.

 

[cagedlion]

Didi lights it up with his 2nd HR of the game. 5 RBIs for Didi. NYY 10 LAD 2.

 

[cagedlion]

Happy Birthday Brett Gardner, king of the ‘savages’, 36 years young.

 

[cagedlion]

Surprise. Player of the game........James Paxton. Best game as a Yankee. Usually on any other night,
Didi Gregorius with 2HRs & 5 RBIs would have claimed that honor.

You can't figure out baseball Susan. Ryu had an ERA of under 2.00 and had been unbeatable at home. Then again it was also a night where the Marlins scored 19 runs.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

In his last two games, or- last 10 innings, Ryu has given up 11 earned runs.

Judge has the highest swing-and-miss percentage on The Change-Up, more so than any other MLB player. Problem solved quit swinging at changeups. Recognize the difference and don't bite the hook; it's either a fast ball or it's not. There is no rabbit in the Hat.
