..."I just love winning...and it's so easy !"

 

[roywhite6]

Stanton excels at striking out. He is really fucked up at the plate. Not a good look!

Maybe he's going to get super hot for the post season? He is a notorious streaky guy and, when he is hot, he can carry a team. Let's hope that's the case.

 

[cagedlion]

I have seen this kid twice and he was so-so both times. Did not think he was ready for the
big club. But Yankee GM knows better!??

 

[roywhite6]

Wow, Sheff. Two batter's 2 hits.

 

[roywhite6]

After Betts hits the grand slam here, we should pull him. What do you think?

 

[cagedlion]

Sheffield had that lucky horseshoe right where he wanted it!

 

[roywhite6]

wait, did Betts just hit into a DP?

 

[cagedlion]

After Betts hits the grand slam here, we should pull him. What do you think?

Almost. Betts just missed the grand salami. Whew!

 

[roywhite6]

What did Betts do?

 

[roywhite6]

Never mind. ESPN finally updated the box score. Betts grounded to SS and DP 6-4-3.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Good win, Severin pitches well, offense sores some runs, Andujar with timely hits and some pretty nice "D" couple of bombs by Voit. Pen did well though JS was a bit nervous he gets Betts on a GIDP. Get out the brooms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[roywhite6]

Sweep tomorrow and the sox can go the f home and clinch there.

 

[Messiah717]

Tanaka for the sweep. Let them celebrate elsewhere.

Well, the manager thinks so.....but this(Ks) is getting ridiculous.

 

[roywhite6]

If the Mariners go 6-4 in their final 10...and the Rays go 5-6 in their last 11, we will have 6 AL teams with 90+ wins. Unbelievable. Hopefully, the Rays don't get any of those 5 wins against us during our 4 in TB.

Unfortunately, the Rays are the Yankees’ kryptonite!...especially in Tampa Bay.

 

[roywhite6]

True. They are such an underrated team...especially against us, lol. Anyway, how the hell do they stay so competitive when they trade their stars off every year and don't sign any high profile FA's?

I mean, I get that they've had premium draft choices in like...forever. They have been getting great picks for 25 years now. The astros too. Thats how they've put together the championship calliber team they currently have.

 

[roywhite6]

Right now, Andujar has 278 total bases as a rookie. 158 hits, 41 doubles, 2 triples and 25 HR's. He will reach the 300 TB mark. That's amazing.

68 XBH's. wow.

Torres and Du may be the best rookie duo to enter the league the same season since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975.

^^^^....
bingo. I't was a real treat watching the Stro's A+ Minor Lg team here in town. It was beyond obvious, the Stro's were so bad for so long, they stockpiled #1 draft picks; unlike what I've seen in modern time.

The local Stro's Affiliate i.e. Lancaster Jethawks Calif Lg from 2009-2016 were a thrill to watch. By 2013 I was saying to anyone who would listen: The Astro's will be in the W.S. by 016-017, and Win the W.S. by 2018. They delivered a year early, no surprise hat all.

^^^^.... great stuff roy
Andujar has done something special, no Yankee Rookie has done since DiMaggio, 40 Dbls, 25 HR's, but then Judge did what no Yankee has ever done as a rookie, but ya' knew that, lol. Imagine if Judge had broke in the Bigs at 21 yrs of age.

Torres, the hands on favorite b4 the A.S. break, amazing how fast his slump cost him.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Game Recap-

Game ball split it in half, give one half to Severino, the other to 4for4 Voit, 2 HR's holy cow.

Gotta Love Andujar inside outting the HR to RF.
Yanx have had Price's number, Whose Your Daddy David???

Good 2C Judge flying around the basepaths, a giant amongst men...

and I thought the Yanx didn't stand a chance vs these guys, ...
