Happ vs. Wisler

Lineups to follow...

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Yankees need to sweep this series to come home with a winning road trip. Happ on the mound sure ain't the start of a broom handle.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

We have Wade unfortunately because of Estrada was put on the 10-day injured list.

Jordan Montgomery will throw his first rehab game today in the minors, Hooyah !!!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

The way Happ has been going he may not get a starting nod in the playoffs. Now, if he decides to
flip the switch, he may be the guy to get them over the hump! Stranger than fiction
would be my take!

 

[cagedlion]

No letdown tonight, Savages!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

No letdown tonight, Savages!

.....^^^^^


poifect.

I gotta say I was impressed to see our Brothers and Sisters in arms, with a Strong Turnout of Bomber Blue and grey, pinstripes, tons of #99 Jersey's, and not one fkng #13 jersey not one.!!!

The turnout was impressive on SNLA, with Torturro behind the backstop/plate, on the 3b side. On a good day in LA and/or Anaheim, there is always a good 50% Turnout of Yankee Fans. Always 50% minimum of MORE !!!! As often is and has been the case as long as I can remember Yankee Ball in So-Cal. Everybit as strong of Yankee Fans as the Local Fair Weather Fans out here.

One of the Strikes thrown to Gardner, was clearly outisde by several inches,

Why in the hell don't Umps have a replay of Strikes and Balls available to look at in b/t innings??? It'd be easy enough to do. Better yet, why are there still Homeplate Umps at all.

And, WTF is Gardner doing in the 3 Hole???
Another game of BaBoone putting names in the hat and drawing 'em out, for the lineup???

It's Gleyber Day 1-0.

 

[cagedlion]

Gleyber Day HR top 2nd Good Guys 1 Mariners 0

 

[Lillie]

Oh my 4-0 2nd.

 

[cagedlion]

Agree. BaBoone batting Gardner 3rd is pure nonsense. I can just here him say......”Gardy will lead
the way.” Maybe it’s true...put a monkey in charge and it will get the same results!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

GT blast another high long bomb to CF and draws instant comparisons to Joe DiMaggio.


Wait a minute GT is NOT Italian~!!!

It's great having "The Kid" (Griffey Jr.) in the Booth.
Why hasn't BSPN shelled out the $$$$ to hire The Kid full time???

Tauchman walks and is driven in by Romine's single to LF.

Ford launches a solo HR down the RF line.

"Instant Karma's gonna get ya, gonna knock ya' right in the head"
Ford's come alive: last 7 games, 16 AB's, 8 Hits, a .500 B'avg.

LeMahieu tees off on Malone, with a Double...

 

[cagedlion]

Ford unloads as Yankees add on with a 4 - 0 lead.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Da Judge with a check swing single. Tommy Malone will have nightmares tonight, .... Hooyah..!!!

Mommy !!!!

A beautiful pitch by Malone a strike on the black called a Ball by the Ump.

The UMP gives Gardner a free pass payback for the strike out earlier.

Bases Loaded for GT- Malone shit his pants.
GT swinging at the first pitch just like he did last at bat. A shallow pop fly out.

Here's a management call. Bases Loaded you got a home run last at bat in the first pitch. What are you to do?? You work the count; you don't swing at the first pitch; not unless the Pitcher Tells you he's going to throw to.

 

[mrmel29]

Happ is fucking useless. 3 run homer to a guy batting .203!!

 

[Lillie]

Take Him Out Now.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Happ you cretin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Happ you POS !!!

Happ now leads the Yankees with 32 home runs...

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Ford gets called into yesterdays game, leaps on the field from a telephone boot, 2 RBIs yesterday, two bombs today. Great example of "next man up". Voit & the Parrot are probably wondering about job security!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Why isn't Griffey jr., "The Kid"; the Yankees Skipper ???

I love his approach to hitting -
"the whole point is just to get on base not swing for a home run."
&
"The goal as a hitter is to make the job easier for the guy that follows you."

Sounds so reminiscent of Roberto Clemente and His epic soulful quote
"If you are not making life on this Earth easier for those who follow; then you are not doing your job on this Earth"...

I can attest for one thing yes the Kingdome was louder than any place I have ever been in especially in the early to mid 90s. Louder an the Astrodome.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Just when I badmouth a player he gets hot and explodes and turns me into the fool I am.
Mike Ford no longer enough F-150 but a GT500

Over his last 12 games hitting .352 with nine RBIs, five home runs.
