The Yankees came down to Kansas City,
Kicking that ass til theirs got shitty.

Well looking at that lineup I sure hope they do

 

[yankeesince59]

Nice job, Voit....man on 3B, 1 out, and you strike out trying to hit a HR.

But this POS is pissed off because of how he's being used?....puhlease.

Taillon has really improved...between him and Gil, things are looking up for the starters.

 

[yankeesince59]

Stanton...not even bothering to run to 1B.

 

[mrmel29]

Would have liked to see him try that with billy
Martin!

 

[yankeesince59]

Cone...ugh.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Thus far te action is snore rather than score. Getting tired of heearing about how Voit hit 20 plus bombs. The mman talked too much shit and failed to answer the bell at Playoff time. Sorry Dizzo, Rizzo earned your former job!

 

[yankeesince59]

What a surprise, yet another GIDP.

 

[Lillie]

Score some Runs now!!!

As usual.

 

[yankeesince59]

What a horrible call even after the review...Judge was safe.

 

[Messiah717]

What a horrible call even after the review...Judge was safe.

Definitely looked like he got in there.

 

[Lillie]

So Voit makes himself useful for once.

 

[yankeesince59]

Definitely looked like he got in there.

Cone said that it looked like Judge's foot came up as he got to HP... well of course it did, it has to... HP is beveled on the edge and is a good 1/2" higher than the dirt...DUH !

 

[yankeesince59]

Now Lil's Italian pasta dish is coming in for Taillon.

 

[yankeesince59]

Voit shoulda had that throw.

 

[yankeesince59]

...and now Lasagna balks.

 

[mrmel29]

And
The master of
Overmanaging boone at it again. Taillon pitching a 4 hit shutout with 87 pitches and is taken out why?? And now it will take a miracle to
Keep the lead. And this inexperienced replacement POS bp ump calling a Ricky tack ball. The umps are so
Bad it’s hard to describe anymore. And judge was safe at home. That one angle clearly shows his
Foot across hitting home plate. But again idiot Boone takes out a starter pitching a shutout for no reason. No feel for pitchers ever.

 

[yankeesince59]

...unreal.

 

[Messiah717]

Yankees best pitcher for the past month gets taken out at 87 pitches. Why?

 

[mrmel29]

Voit shoulda had that throw.

voit sucks ass defensively

I started to say the same thing about Taillon...he had the Royals guessing pretty much all night...and had only thrown 87 pitches...definitely another head scratcher.
