NFT: New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox - Game 2 - 7:05p

What would anyone in here have said if I told you after that Sunday night game a few months back where we absolutely tatoo'd Price, that when him and Sevi met up again in September that he'd come in with a better ERA than Sevi.

while I was away.

Arc is now a Yankees fan? WTF is that all about? What kind of sorcery took place to make that happen?

You've been gone a long time, B.

It's true. I finally had enough of it. I had one foot out the door after another crappy offseason that told me another non-competitive year was on the horizon - and after the mirage start, gave me that last push out by proving me right.

Baseball is fun again. Went to the stadium on Saturday and had a blast even though the comeback fell a run short. The Andujar GS was worth the price of admission. Place was going wild.

I couldn't switch allegiances but that's me. Even though the Knicks are a bottom feeding joke for the last two decades, I couldn't imaging attaching to another team. To each his own. Enjoy bud.

.

Good block on a bad slider and calling for the change up multiple times in hitters counts.

Sevy gets out of it. Made a few real nice pitches there,and hopefully he's locked in the rest of the way.

Time to tag Price. Make this fucker work and throw some pitches.

are tingling

Jump on this fu*ker

something to the ump after that low inside 2nd strike...quietly as he was digging in..

Root for the Mets for like 25 years and you'll probably think differently. :)

I'd never do it in any other sport. This was just a special circumstance for a few different reasons.

It did rock the BBI world a bit and after 3 months or however long its been now, I am just finally getting to the end of my friends and acquaintances being surprised by it or not knowing. But it's done and I don't have any regrets.

It was a weird feeling the first few weeks. Especially because the Yanks and Mets had a few games against each other, but I've probably missed 2-3 games at most since I hopped the fence and it honestly feels like it's the Yankees that are "my team" now when I watch them. The excitement is natural. It's not forced.

Maybe 10 years ago this would have been harder with fewer young Bombers to latch onto. But this is kind of the beginning of a new era and it felt natural to ease in while watching youngsters like Miggy, Gleyber, Judge, Sevy, etc. who are either just getting started or haven't been around long.

Anyway. There's no conflict for me. I wish the Metsies well and hope things turn around for them, but I was at the point where Jacob deGrom was the only thing I liked about the team anymore. I'm here to stay.

As for the game... Judge has hit into some bad luck since last night, but he's getting a lot of good wood on it. Good sign. Probably not going to be long before he's tearing the cover off the ball again.

Usually throws that into the right field seats.

Yeah I like how he did that, and not show the ump up at all. Face down so no one can see what he's saying. No chance for the cameras to see or anyone to read his lips. Smart.

Draw first blood baby!

HR but the 3rd baseman....

Wooooooo Miggy

No more let up. Just gotta get Stanton and Gary out of their funks. Not sure Gary is ever going to really get it figured out this year at the plate (or behind it) but Stanton should be able to get back on track soon.

David Price is starting to sweat again...

1st hit back from the DL....

.

Bahahah.. Nunez.

Awesome!

through and lives up to his Scissors hand name

Nunez. Not

Good things are happening with Judge back.

techniques tonight.

Heard on the radio today the Yanks are 32 over .500 with Judge in the lineup, and 2 over without him.

So does this damn ump. It takes him throwing a ball 3 feet out of the zone to call a ball.

Inside off the plate to Stanton? Strike
Outside and high to Torres? Strike
Outside to Sanchez? Strike

None of those pitches were particularly close. I normally don’t bitch about the umps but it’s mildly annoying since this team is seemingly trying to change their approach and be more selective. This is the kind of guy that will keep them right there in “swing at everything” mode.

LUUUUUUUUUUKE

pleasant surprise.

jobs tonight...

Love pounding this fucking team

Much more consistent than Bird.

Really, really encouraging if Sevy is getting back on track.

Wow, what a catch by Miggy

in some time

Staggering around like he's nipping between innings! Ball must have been knuckling..

Tanaka and Happ are playoff ready - if Sevy gets rolling a bit, we can compete with anyone in October. Britton is locked in too, which is huge.

Adios, Greggy.

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!

Another awesome shot st a good time!!

Wow
