If Tanaka is halfway sharp todays game should be a cake walk.

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^Part of Tanaka's problem has been his inability to locate his FB which has resulted in him losing confidence in it which in turn results in his unwillingness to use it as often as he used to. Though he does not possess a 100 MPH heater he still needs to use it in order to set up his splitter and off-speed pitches.

 

[Lillie]

Be prepared Guys it looks like Rain again in The Forecast.

 

[Lillie]

Gleyber Torres named AL Rookie of the Month.

 

[cagedlion]

I would sit Stanton down just to soak in the Baltimore humidity and let Romine’s hot
bat send rockets into the dense Baltimore air. Stanton & Romine deserve the switch!

 

[Lillie]

The Game is being Delayed due to rain although it's not raining right now they expect it to come through soon.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Another ^&*^&^*^*^)&*(*rain delay ^*^&*()(*&_)(_)(*)*&^&*. I was stationed in Maryland for a time, found it nice except for Cracktown. Went to a few games at old Memorial Stadium finding Oriole Fans to be as disgusting as Red Sox Fans.

 

[Lillie]

Come on this is getting ridiculous start the Game and if it has to be delayed so be it.

 

[Lillie]

5:45 pm Start Time.

 

[cagedlion]

5:45 PM is the new starting time for today’s game. Watching other games, I have noticed teams using pitching
prospects from their respective farm systems and most prospects are doing well. You know where I’m going
with this. So how come Yankee pitching prospects are not doing well when called up?

Again, Lil you beat me to it! Short and sweet cannot be beat!

I'm all over it.

 

[Lillie]

Orioles are open to sign Hanley Ramirez.

 

[Lillie]

Godner.

Really??? That was years ago. New disgusting people are everywhere.

 

[stampedehero]

Mmmmmm. Tanaka on the mound!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Muscles Marinara fits right in with the Baltimore Keystone Cops & rain delays. Only one missing is Clams Casino...

Good 2C Yanks taking advantage of this last place team...

 

[cagedlion]

Sloppy birds giving Yankees insurance. Good Guys 6 Dirty Birds 2.

 

[cagedlion]

SOB Gleyber just got hit with pitch. He’ll be fine.
Got to protect your players, Tanaka!

 

[cagedlion]

Another HR. Tanaka sure knows how to throw a gopher ball. That’s 50 HRs
since last year. Not acceptable you jerk! That’s the most HRs by any starter in all
of MLB.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Geezus Tank suffers from Long Ball disease, he's going to need a chiropractor after this one, sudden fast turning of the head to look over yer shoulder at balls exiting the park; can damage a neck....

3 long balls. Where would the lowly O's be without Machado???

 

[cagedlion]

BozoSox up early on Verlander & Houston, 1-0. His old buddy J.D. Martinez has the RBI.

 

[cagedlion]

Tanaka is gassed. Can’t even reach the plate. 5 innings is just ridiculously bad. Five and out....
is just pathetic against this O’s team. He would have been gone earlier against a better team.

 

[Lillie]

Take him out.

 

[cagedlion]

I’m just shaking my head. Terrible pitch selection to Valencia. Now 6-4 with tying runs in scoring
position. Tanaka really does not deserve a W. Hold your breath for one more inning. It’s going to
be a long night what with the O’s pitching & defense and the Yankee pitching.....especially in this
band box.

 

[yankeesince59]

Dodged a big bullet ...good job, Holder.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Just got in score checked while out, looks like Tanaka came up short at five plus. What kind of shit is that. ?????????

 

[cagedlion]

Houston up 3-1 on the Beantowners. Keep it up.

 

[Lillie]

Time for a Drink.
