Need a game from Tanaka.
This KC team just knows how to put things together and rattle off wins during crunch time, the team has balls and talent.
Go Yanks!

Judge is big enough to hunt bears with a switch, hope he reaches out with the bat and gets some hits. Tank on the mound, one can watch the game. A win tonight gives the Yankees the season series.

Yeah, Yanks need to take this series the hard way after dropping one last night. Taking this series would certainly stop the leak and give the Yanks a good chance to gain ground on a couple of other WC chasers, easier said than done.
I don't expect the Yanks to go on a winning streak in September while playing so many good teams who are battling for a playoff spot.....lmao, they have 14 games left with Toronto and Boston, even the Dodgers are coming into YS for 3 games.
Yanks would be doing very well taking "2/3" the rest of the way....these next few games are exciting because the Yanks could fall by the wayside if they do poorly. Yanks can either be a couple of games out, or 6-7 games in the first week of September.

agreed, smells like a victory....
I found out last night, I had lost my best friend, to Leukemia; suddenly with little to no warning. (1 of the most avid MLB Fans/Historian's) I've ever known. Age 72 and out-
I'm stuck in a funk......ie staring mindlessly blank at the screen...! Even a bag of Cheetos won't solve this one, ...
I think of Aug 4th 1979, and how the Team had to take to the field, missing their infamous Catcher Munson, how in the hell did those guys even play that game??? (we just spoke of this recently)...

It's always tough to lose someone close. I've got your back. Have a strong drink and try to relax.
A Yankee victory may help. Just go for another strong drink. To get numb won't hurt.

Offense is stranding too many runners this evening, Yankees should be up more than they are.

At delay start I checked KC weather. Per what I read the storm was to be of 3 hours duration. Gott get up at 0 Dark 30 and take the squeeze to the doctor. Be nice if the game were made official.

Hear ya loud and clear- I always root for a storm whenever there's a rain delay AND the Yanks are leading in an official game.
Game has resumed.....Yanks had 2nd and 3rd with NO OUTS and they're still there---Didi now up with 2nd and 3rd, two outs..Yanks 4-2.

Nope- Didi flies out for 3rd out.
Bottom 6th, Yanks lead 4-2 and this game is a long way from being over.
Dammit, Yanks had 2nd and 3rd no outs in top 6th and couldn't score a run.
Austin walked, Gardner doubled and fukn Ellsbury struck out- then Sanchez grounded to drawn in 1b, and Didi flied out.

Game is in Warren's hands...bottom 6th.
Oops, infield single and an RBI double by Cain on a hanging meatball....now 4-3 Yanks, runner on 2nd no outs- Layne replaces Warren and the Yanks are in hot water.

Clippard replaces Layne- KC runners 1st and 3rd one out, Yanks lead 4-3 with Perez up.
Yeesh- Perez absolutely smoked a short hopper to Headley....an early Christmas gift as Headley comes up with it and goes around the horn for an inning ending DP.....and I have no confidence in any Yankee reliever who isn't Betances.
It's like playing Russian Roulette with the Yankee relief pitchers.
Very easy to envision this group gagging away games during crunch time.

I kinda expect it to happen.
Yanks had runners on 1st and 3rd no outs in 1st inning and didn't score-
They had runners on 2nd and 3rd no outs in the 6th inning and didn't score.
Castro just made an error to prolong the 7th inning, KC now has runners on 1st and 2nd with two outs....Clippard facing Dyson....tic tic tic tic

Dyson flies out to end the 7th.
Betances might be called on to get more than an inning.
Shit...Judge just looked at a first pitch straight fastball right down the middle.
