Game Thread Yankees vs. Rays Thursday 10/8/20, 7:10 pm

Not for nothing...but Judge shouldn’t be in the 2 spot. He has been awful. Gleyber should be there or Gio. Judge should be batting 6th.

 

[Lillie]

JMO is imploding in inning 3. Second & third with nobody out! How do you hit a wall
in inning 3?

 

[mrmel29]

Only gave up a run. Not bad considering. Now lets score some runs

 

[cagedlion]

Mid 3rd Yankees 2 Rays 1 .....JMO limits the damage for now to one run.

Can these player time Yarborough’s breaking pitches? The righties must hit to the opposite field & stop pulling
his soft crap.

 

[cagedlion]

Yankee hitters just don’t get it. They will be pulling everything into the dirt with this Yarborough.

I was thinking the exact same thing last inning...I was thinking Gio. A little demotion for Judge just might wake his ass up.

LeMahieu, best Yankee hitter, hits sac fly for a 2-0 lead bot 2. Now begins the Rays bullpen-on-the-fly.....
enter Yarborough.

Yankees need to lock up lemahieu for the rest of his career. Not only for his Veteran presence with Gardner gone,... his offense, defense, his overall demeanor 8s crucial to this team.

 

[cagedlion]

Another Yankee stranded on 2nd...still 2-1 top 5.

Here comes Green.

 

[mrmel29]

Great inning for greene

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Stanton settling back to his old self, the rest of the lineu isn't hitting so we'd best hope that the pitching can hold that 1 run lead!!

 

[mrmel29]

Great 2 innings for Greene!!

 

[mrmel29]

It’s gleyber day. 4-1 yanks

 

[cagedlion]

Gleyber baby! 4-1 Yankees.

 

[cagedlion]

Zach Britton pitching the 7th. Hold my breath! The Criminal in the wings.

I said a couple months ago the should've locked him up before the season began...but now that they waited and DJ responded with another great year, he'll be a FA which will make his price tag go up a good bit, and the Yanx will therefore have to pay more now to keep him.

 

[cagedlion]

Surprise! Relief today. 9 up, 9 down. So far, that’s Lockdown!

 

[yankeesince59]

Still not feeling all warm and fuzzy with a 3 run lead...need at least a couple more insurance runs.

 

[yankeesince59]

Judge isn't exactly making his case for a big pay day.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Judge continues hacking at 1st pitches. He's not going to bloom into a contact hitter with power by hacking at what he mistakenly thinks is 1st pitch lazy meat pitch strike. His approach as a power hitter trying to make contact is bass ackwards.

4 yrs 100 Million $$$?

I could see DJ playing this game until he he's 42 or 3

 

[yankeesince59]

Why the hell is Boone removing Britton?

 

[mrmel29]

Britton absolutely unhittable yet here comes manager gump instead of letting him finishe the last out off. Man, just sits there and watch Forrest!!

 

[cagedlion]

Why the hell is Boone removing Britton?

Because he’s the Idiot, in person.

Sounds fair to me, Matts...Happ's/Tanaka's/Maypole's salaries should be off the books...and if anyone deserves that kind of money, it's DJ.

 

[yankeesince59]

...fucking Chapman...how often does he have a clean inning?

 

[cagedlion]

Boone is not a big league manager!
