Where is Gleyber? 10 of his 12 HRs are against the O’s! That’s like giving Baltimore a leg up in this
game. For crying out loud.....he’s 23 years old! I guess just because Boone is the manager, it
must be the right move......

He needs to Rest.

Four game sweeps are improbable but not impossible, but if the Yankees can make it so then go for it.

 

[Lillie]

Biggie is out with Left Knee Inflammation.

 

[cagedlion]

^^^^^I guess personal goals are much more important than team goals. So CC being on IL is going
to give him the boost needed from his manager! The team loses another player. That’ll win players’
confidences!

 

[cagedlion]

Biggie is out with Left Knee Inflammation.

Of course he is! Did you expect anything different?

[Lillie]

My Bad it's Right Knee Inflammation.

 

[cagedlion]

Gary Thorne, Baltimore’s superb announcer, must be doing jumping jax with whoopdeedoos
after seeing the Yankee lineup minus Gleyber Torres. Thorne made it well-known why O’s pitchers
should just walk the guy instead of pitching to him.

Lillie, you could have given CC head contusions, he’d still wind up on the IL!!!

Tanaka about to Shit the Bed.

 

[cagedlion]

Unable to turn a double play gives the Birds a 1 - 0 lead.

 

[cagedlion]

Hicks chased that ball as if he was taking a walk in the park. Where was the hustle?
No harm. Tanaka Ks the next batter.

Yankees are the sole MLB team not to be shut out this year. It would be ironic if the O’s
were the team to shut out the Yankees.

 

[Lillie]

Frazier goes Yard 1-1.

 

[cagedlion]

^^^^^ So, as soon as I utter the ‘shut out’ words, Frazier goes yard to tie game at 1 apiece.

 

[Lillie]

Gio 3-1.

 

[cagedlion]

Urshela is CLUTCH again! He is tough with RISP. I have not seen this since the days of Yogi Berra!
Two out single. Yankees 3 O’s 1
That was Urshela’s 5th hit this series.

 

[cagedlion]

The biggest complaint on this board last year was this team was horrible with RISP.
We cannot complain with Gio making consistent contributions.

 

[Lillie]

Romine 4-1.

 

[Lillie]

Luuuuke 5-1.

 

[Lillie]

Take this Gas Can out Boner.

 

[Lillie]

Rain Heading to Baltimore in 20 Minutes.

 

[Lillie]

Gas Can Kahnle gives up a Bomb 5-5.

 

[mrmel29]

Tie score thanks to mr inept Boone sitting on his ass while holder had nothing in the 8th and put a million runners on base till one mistake by kahnle could tie up the game. Boone just has no feel for when to take a pitcher out or not

 

[cagedlion]

Yep. Another passing truth.....that the Yankees have an excellent relief staff.
Yes, it is just one game. But it is the O’s.

What once was a comfortable 5 - 1 Yankee lead is now tied 5 - 5 top of the 9th.
