Game Thread Yankees vs. Royals Sunday 5/20/18, 2:15 pm

[Mattingly23NY]

Torres hits the ball hard to LF, Gordon with a shoestring lucky catch.

I found it hilarious when Perez did not chase the passed ball allowing Romine to walk to 2nd. Instead he chose to look at the Ump as if to say that ball hit Torres foot didn't you see it? Well it didn't. Kind of points 2 KC not wanting any part of Torres, and three quarters of the bombers lineup...!

God to see Austin hitting again, I've pretty much liked him from day one.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Its a shame when Bird comes back austin is probably going down. This kid deserves to be here and has a ton of power. Gardner right now is like a number 8 hitter in the NL.

^^^^
Honestly if I were Boone I would platoon Bird & Austin. Austin has been done well with his glove and bat. Tho' he doesn't quite scoop them out of the dirt like Donnie baseball, hopefully he will in time to come. Bird proved he could hit lefties when he took Miller for a bomb and the win in Cleveland 017 ALDS.

I've got to take a look at t/Splis 4 both.

It's a Circus out there 4-0.

 

[Lillie]

Austin goes Yard 6-0.

 

[yankeesince59]

Austin with another 2-run bomb....6-0 good guys.

 

[mrmel29]

Gotta find a way to keep this kid up here. Some team is going to get some nice major league ready prospects when they trade us that stud pitcher down the line.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Stanton hits a rocket one hopper down the left-field line for a double. This game could easily turn out to be a bronx bomber blowout exhibition, I do hope so!!

I have to say Stanton has been hotter than hell versus South Paws especially.

Holy effing Cow- Hicks hit's a trouble triple one-hopper Off the center-field Wall scoring Staton. Bombers sortie score direct hits. Mission accomplished but not over. Austin just hit a 2 run bomb to Center.

Yanks 6 KC 0

They're not just hitting the ball, they're hitting it hard. Statcast for Hicks triple was 115 mph, as close by Stanton and Austin.

It's going to get really interesting to say the least isn't it? Trashman better land as good as there is for an Ace SP.

In due time to come (near trade deadline?), Trashman better not give away too much of the farm. He must land a SP who can provide an immediate impact now and for years to come.

No prima donnas, no overpriced flops. The perfect SP at the perfect price. No excuses for failure either.

On the other hand we all look forward to seeing, many of the prized pitching prospects in the farm system, in due time.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

What I was trying to say- if the Yanks pitching staff where is hot as their offense, t/team would be unstoppable, making history daily.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

The YES staff just stole my big toe little toe cliche.

 

[stampedehero]

It's comfortable with a 6 run lead in mid innings.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Another one two three inning for Gray. If you've noticed it is overcast in KC and the sun is not shining there...!!

Either Gray's pitching masterfully or this Royals team flat out sucks....

 

[cagedlion]

I’d platoon Bird & Austin. They’d be nuts to send Austin down again. How nice to have such a problem!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Why did Stanton break his Bat as if it were the bats fault that he struck out swinging at a gopher ball down in the dirt off speed?

Hix continues to hit single to CF

Only Judge has biceps triceps bigger than Austin's... Tyler could be a middle linebacker for the most teams. Hard-hit moonshot deep right. Out #2

Andujar ends the inning with a soft Infld out

[Mattingly23NY]

Bottom of 7th beginning. Gray with one hit, 4Ks, 0 base on balls.

 

[Lillie]

Pink Hatters winning again as usual.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Gray having a game today, did what he was supposed to do to this point. What was it Gomer used to say "Surprise, Surprise". Like to think Sonny may be legit but KC is not exactly a contender.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

We all should Hijack the yes Studio, find Vic Dibitetto also to join us. History would refer to t/coup as t/perfect Italian job or Oceans 23...

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Unbelievable Sonny Gray through the 7th one two three freezing KC bats.

It is not sunny in KC
Gray is breezing in Misery/Missouri...

The sky is not blue in misery today like the Royals UNIS the sky is Gray like the Bronx bombers Road grays and Sonny Gray to

Cone and Ruocco are annoying.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

One of these days we're going to see Toe on base, Judge get a triple and pass Toe up on the base Paths, or God forbid run him over accidentally...

Jesus Hicks continues to blast a ball caught for the third out of against the wall. Hicks is and doing his part ensuring red Thunder doesn't come to pass.lol...

 

[Lillie]

8-0.

 

[Lillie]

Complete Game possible???

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Cone and Ruocco are annoying.

I can't believe Cone saying and I quote "I can't believe I just referenced Vanila ice." I say I can't believe YES even hired you Cone. At times yes appears to have been desperate to hire or find talent to call games

Cone is a Drunk.

 

[Lillie]

Okay Gray time to take a shower and Shreve is warming up.

 

[Lillie]

Andujar HR 9-1.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Cone is a Drunk.

I had a feeling he was is sounds like one who hits the bottle a little too hard or should hit it harder.
