2-out hitting w/RISP, Minnesota

 

[cagedlion]

Twins scoring insurance runs off Robertson’s breaking pitches. All with 2 outs.Yankees down 3-0. Keep blowing the bubbles BaBoone. It seems that’s all you got....a cheek full of cud!

 

[roywhite6]

As we watch Robertson fuck up I'm remembering that the last no-hitter thrown by a single game pitcher was Hoyt Wilhelm of the Orioles way back in 1958. Sure hopethese clowns can come up with a hit.

I remember the astros throwing like a 6-pitcher no hitter against us like 10 years ago. maybe longer.

 

[cagedlion]

Here comes Odorizzi for the 8th. How many fly balls have they hit to the track?
Twins do not lack defensive skills.

...I just screamed George Carlin's 7 words you can't say on TV.

Tell me about it.

 

[roywhite6]

They have to let Odorizzi pitch until he gives up a hit. Its the end of the season and they have nothing else to play for other than the no-hitter.

 

[Lillie]

Okay Birdie takes care of Biz.

 

[yankeesince59]

...well, at least we didn't get no hit.

 

[cagedlion]

Bird breaks up no hit bid. Hits double to score Voit. Out comes Odorizzi.....to a standing ovation.

 

[roywhite6]

Bird (of all people) breaks up the no-hitter and ends the shutout all at once. NOW Odorizzi will come out.

 

[roywhite6]

I really need something other than ESPN boxscore updates to watch the Yanks. I am so far behind everyone here.

 

[roywhite6]

2 down, Bird still at second. C'mon Cutch. A home run ties this mess.

 

[Lillie]

They will still lose but whatever.

Whatta game, the alleged ace can't get to 6 vs the Twinkies, Roberson shits the bed, at last Bird spared the Yankees from the stigma of a no hitter.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

I remember the astros throwing like a 6-pitcher no hitter against us like 10 years ago. maybe longer.

Yep, I remember that game but Hoyt Wilhelms no-no in 58 was a CG. That was an accomplishment that '58 Team had some boppers aboard!.

 

[cagedlion]

Cannot believe they lost this series to the Twinkies. They are in a bad way.

Take that cud out of your mouth and throw it away....just like you saw your team
throw another game to a bad ball club.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Well (kumbaya) it ain't so bead, (kumbaya) still got the season series 5-2. Yeah only 1 game ahead (kumbaya) . Jesus Christ this team just stinks. Boner & the boys laid another egg this evening. When you look at where the Yankees stood on 1 July, and where they are now what a chokejob!

 

[cagedlion]

Tighter than a strung drum, they are squeezing their bats to saw dust. We are watching a team in
self-destruct mode.

RISP 0-5/ LOB 4/ only 7 SO's things are looking up eh?/ 2 Hit's a No-No thru 7 & 1/3 and Bird breaks it up and the Shutout too...

Leave it to Andujar to hit where no man has gone this year; still flirting with .300. If Trashman says he wants Machado at 3rd, I'mma gonna shit...

Obviously this group of misfits are no longer playing not to loose, they're resting on their laurels, as Oakland climbs closer within 1 game of the Wild Card; with a rout of the O's...
it aint over til its over, and I don't hear a fat lady singing- yet...

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Imagine losing 6 in a row to the Twinkies, Jays or Rangers, before beating them. That's what t/Bums went thru b4 beating Cincy, deservedly so, and who cares right...

I don't recall off the top of my head, one season when both Lgs had maximum suckage, with this many teams flirting with .500 or
light dark/years below breaking even.

A weird season so far in both leagues.
8 AL Teams at/or within 1 game of .500 or less.
7 NL Teams within a game or 2 of .500 or less.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Old Nixon language: "Credibility Gap" David Robertson claimed that he did not know where the Yankees stood in the Wild Card Race. The man either thinks the fans are totally stupid of a liar. How in the hell can you be on a baseball team in competition and not know where you stand. I have a feeling that there is some real shit going on with that team that has not surfaced as yet.
