Game Thread Yankees vs. Oakland Tuesday 9/4/18, 10:05 pm

Shocker. 1 hit for the last 38 batters this series. Do you think the team is in a slump?
15 up. 15 down. One runner got on by way of an error then next batter hits into DP

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Sanchez, another waste of a roster spot, Boner will be telling us that it's difficult to get back in the grove after a DL Stint. If I'm the Yankees GM I'd have great difficulty pulling Gardners '19 option out of the garbage can.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Andujar reaches safely on what was a routine groundout, on a throwing error sailing 3ft over the first baseman's head.

Something's got to give Mengden is in a Groove he looks like he could roll three up three down all night long. He's painting the black and getting everybody to go inside and outside the strike zone...

Sanchez hits into a 6-4-3 double play dammit damn it damn it... Kills any small semblance of putting a runner in scoring position, dammit dammit dammit and double dammit.

Mengden smells blood in the water. Happ is doing pretty damn good himself still a one hitter. Mengden still a no hitter one error 1 runner on base....

The one hitter overall still through four and a half innings. Bottom of the 4th Happ hits Piscotty in the knee. The intentional or unintentional hit batter. Or the unintentional intentional hit batter.

Deep Fly ball to Hix, out #1. Piscotty remains at first...
Another 4-6-3 double play... Happ still has a one hitter...
Mengden a no-hitter through 5...

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Walker hits a soft grounder in the safe at first. Second baseman was playing Walker deep for a hard hit ball and got an easy soft when they burn Walker to run it out... Close close call.
Voit up followed by GT come on guys let's get some runs

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Voit hits into a double play 6-4-3

I feel the same way. Gardner has the worst rubber noodle limp arm in baseball. When he's hot he can outrun an infield ground ball but he has not been hot a long time.
Honestly Gardner has really not been hot at all!!!...

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Mengden is pulled after giving up his first hit to Torres through the hole between short and third. 82 pitches.

Buchter throws the ball behind Gardner, he tries to pawn it off as a fckng hit by pitch. So damn obvious the ball never hit him, it hit his damn bat.
No Pride trying to sell a cheap bullshit HBP give me a Fkng break. This is not little league yeah I get it but have some damn Pride.

Chi-Chi' GT squanders his opportunity and gets picked off at first sob...!!! @#$%&!!**×

 

[cagedlion]

18 up. 18 down. Gleyber gets Yankees first hit then proceeds to get picked off at first base. Can things go so
wrong? Mistakes have become part of this team’s make up.

^^^^....
This is about the most bulshit game I've seen in well a couple days... But IF this is the team going to a play a wild-card they're screwed

 

[cagedlion]

Happ is pitching a very creditable game..better than creditable, but he’s not getting any f’kin’ support.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

My bad Mengden only threw 51 pitches 0 hits. 51 Pitches !!!
Thru 6 IP Happ is rolling with a one hitter at 69 pitches...

This damn Android has a mind of its own when it comes to spelling.

Gardner leads off the inning with a deep hit to shortstop, long single.

Stanton due up commercial break. Go buy some Reese's PCS and ride a horse through the wild west just 2 drink a Coors around the campfire. Followed by a Papa John's Pizza. Drink that down with some Gatorade. 50 most memorable moments in Oakland history. Get me back to the damn baseball game

 

[cagedlion]

As I have watched these past few weeks, that old song phrase...”$lip slidin’ away”
comes to mind.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Stanton rips 1 thru the left INF hole, God removes over to 2nd.
2 on no outs for McCutchen.
McCutcheon hacks away slash and wildly at two strikes then works the walk. Bases Loaded for Hicks come on man don't let me down... No outs Bases Loaded...!!!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Feats don't fail me now.
A's pitcher must have been born in a courthouse. Jeurys Familia jury family. Two straight balls in the dirt to Hicks. He works a very close Full Count and fouls off the six pitch pitch. Ball 4 and 1 scores. Yankees got to capitalize here no ounce and bases still loaded for andujar

 

[cagedlion]

First real Yankee threat comes in 7th inning. First & second & nobody out.
Bases loaded nobody out. Game tied 1-1 as Familia goes wild. Hicks walks in run.

Andujar & Sanchez swinging at air with pitches in the dirt. Two outs and bases
still loaded.
Now Rodney, crooked hat and all....the one that shoots arrows on an out, to
face Walker.....who pops out. What a fucking revolting display of offense!

Enough of this shit!

 

[Lillie]

West Coast is killing me.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

This Familia kid has a wild pitch but is painting the black pretty well. Mostly close pitces some balls are called strikes and some strikes or called balls...
This familia kid basketball starts at the top of the strike zone and breaks like a splitter to the bottom of the zone. Harder to hit than looks...
Andujar enticed to go for a ball chest-high that lands at his ankles.
1 out bases juiced for Sanchez.
Yanks got to take advantage of this bases-loaded situation. This could be the ball game right here. Pretend like you're in Scranton Wilkes-Barre Gary.

Gary looks like a minor Leaguer swatting at flies on a change up, 1-2 count. And Sanchez goes down swinging two down bassist still juiced SOB. Neither team looks like a postseason worthy contender.

Pitching change oh goodness here comes Rodney the invisible arrow shooter... crooked hat and all... if there's one pitcher U utterly cannot stand it is Fernando fkng Rodney. Come on Walker be the hero you're supposed to be just do it. Walker damn near went around and it hit the fkng dirt... Walker is a rally killer foul ball the third base off of crooked hat at FKNG Rodney...

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Bases juiced, no outs, all these worthless fucks could do was get get one on a walk. And they had all faced Familia when he was a Met. Just beyond stupid.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

West Coast is killing me.

^^^...
LOL
It's killing me to not. I eat this shit up I love West Coast trips. Dammit Happ gives up his second hit of the night single down the right-field line. Voigt was playing 15 feet off the bag... WTF...

Android is ebbing killing me. I have to go back in type out everything I dictate it to it. I think I'll just let it go and no one will understand a damn thing I'm saying.

 

[Lillie]

Put your earplugs in.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Hop along Happ pulled from the game. One run on two hits & 1 BB, 6+ IP, and out comes D-Rob...
1 on 0 out.
Out #1 D-Rob threw nothing but breaking balls works the count full & got the K,...

D-Rob works the count full again, working everything out of the strike zone and walks Davis.
2 on 1 out...
D-Rob gets Piscotty swinging, chasing a ball down in the dirt. 10/25 Piscotty kind of hot lately. 2 outs.
D-Rob works the nasty sliders Wicked hook and finally a fastball or two.
Umps all meet they don't know what the count is!!! HYSTERICAL

D-rob gets the third strike out and keeps me on the edge of my seat. This is what pisses me off about d-rob sometimes. Throws too many pitches.

Crazy to think the Yankees Bullpen is second best... 3.19 Era, unbelievable. Stat...

This is one crazy game. It was a very tight game to 6 and now it is sloppier than hell... Is this a wild card game

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Voit strikes home run against Fernando the invisible arrow shooter

 

[Mattingly23NY]

I can't say it enough I cannot stand Fernando Rodney. Him and Pineda both can't wear a hat proper drives me crazy

 

[Lillie]

Voit 2-1.

 

[cagedlion]

Will Voit’s solo HR hold up? I’m not going to hold my breath on this! Not with the way this team is playing.

 

[Lillie]

Come on Boone go Bat Shit again.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Gardner outruns a double play
one-on-one out for Stanton.

Stanton did not swing at one of six pitches. Strike 3 on the black low inside. 2 outs Gardner on 2nd...

Rodney throws like shit. He's a sloppy as his crooked cap seriously. I think he's cross-eyed too...

McCutchen works a walk 2 on 2 out for Hix.

I got to take a break this effing Android is making me see as cross-eyed as Rodney. The typos are ridiculous it keeps saying hips instead of hicks and a lot of other shit too....

Break time,,,, Android you are shitcanned.

BTW Rodney's third Pitch 2 ft above the strike zone LOL you effing joke

 

[cagedlion]

Hicks gets insurance with single. Yankees up 3-1.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Bad move by McCutchen. Still wondering when Stanton is going to do something for this team. Now find a pitcher who can get some consistent outs.

 

[Lillie]

Hechavarria 4-1.
