Severino vs. Zimmerman

Lineups to follow...

 

[cagedlion]

Yesterday was mind numbing in a bad way. Can their best pitcher turn the nightmare around?
Watching Yankee pitchers of late and how they are used by a neophyte manager makes me yearn
for Yankee days of yore. Hoping Seve can bring back those days tonight.

Lets see a crisp game tonight, solid pitching and defense, timely hitting that leaves Boner to stay out of sight and chew his cud>

Crap. Was hoping McCutchen would be here for tonight’s game

 

[mrmel29]

And sick of gardner with his .230 average continuing to bat leadoff. If he's in the lineup at all he should be batting 9th. Hoping Mccutchan becomes the leadoff hitter. Also even though I think the yanks still think bird is the future first baseman good to see results mean something and Voit is slowly becoming the everyday first baseman. Can't wait fo red thunder to get back and play left field.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Saw Cutches Tweet on MLB, got a good attitude about it, I think he's going to be OK.

 

[yankeesince59]

...would not be surprised if the Yanx get no-hit tonight.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Well Sevy, that bomb was the Ah shit that cancelled your attaboys thus far. And your team mates are on their butts again tonight!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mrmel29]

I think he's going to be great for the yanks

 

[mrmel29]

Gardner goes down on strikes for 2nd straight time. Batting under .200 for the month. If analytics is telling booneball he should lead off its time to get rid of it!!

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Well here we are again,the clock has struck 5th inning trouble time.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Sevy, you are closer to a joker than an ace.

 

[Rangers94]

I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t feel good about ANY of these pitchers in a one game wild card, forget about anything else in the post season.

 

[Lillie]

Boone gets tossed.

 

[mrmel29]

Boone finally shows some life. Didn't help as this idiot HP ump continues to call balls low and outside strikes. How do these guys keep their jobs. their just about all horrible

 

[cagedlion]

Team’s horrendous hitting slump is putting tremendous pressure on the pitching.
Please, Cone, you need to STFU with your philosophical rationionalizing. You are not making the situation
or this listener feel any better. You are damn annoying.

 

[cagedlion]

Boone gets tossed.

About f’king time!

 

[Lillie]

It's a Gardy Party.

 

[cagedlion]

Amazing. Jordan Zimmerman, 6-6 with 4.25 ERA no hitting these “hitless”
wonders. Just what the doctor ordered! NOT!

Well, well....I opened my big mouth and look what happened! 2 dingers!

 

[mrmel29]

And gardner showing that even the blind squirrel eventually finds the nut. 3-2 tigers

 

[mrmel29]

And hicks goes deep to tie it at 3

 

[Lillie]

Hicks with a Bomb.

 

[cagedlion]

Gardner & Hicks homer to tie this mess up! 3-3. That was quick and unexpected!
Especially Gardner’s dinger.

 

[mrmel29]

And the rookie of the year (yes thats right heyman u dickhead) makes it 4-3 yanks

 

[Lillie]

Anduithar Bomb.
