“Unbelievable”

has beens and never will be's

kill me.

Another note I meant to include in the OP...

CC is 6 K's away from 3,000.

So, there's like a 50/50 chance he'll get there tonight.

(Don't quote me on those odds, I did no math at all... he's got 8 K's in 10 innings, so it's probably closer to 35-40% if he pitches 5 innings)

Did you say "Mahvelous"??

clean out the strength and conditioning staff after the year.

First Hicks, now Stanton- which is to say nothing of the Ellsbury situation. Shit, we could use him!

Catch by Trout....wow.


What a game.

Sometimes shit happens. Scapegoats aren’t require for every little thing that happens.

I don't know how you overturn on that. You can't tell if he was tagged while his foot was still.off the bag.

Fucking BS that the replay was conclusive.

Second, get your head out of your ass Wade. Just keep your damn foot on the base and stop wondering around the base like an idiot.

but if I was Wade I would have been standing on 2B. If Trout catches it then tag up. If he doesn't you are still scoring from 2B because Trout would be in no position to field it cleanly.

...that was one helluva catch by Trout. Damn.

but this team will leave no stone un-turned to find a way to fuck up baserunning...

It’s too bad he’ll likely waste his best years on a shitty team.

but when a bunch of the walking wounded come back I'd love to find a way to keep Urshela around. The guy is Nettles/Brosius like at 3rd only with a better arm.

Yeah I didn't think it would be overturned either but they must've had an angle we didn't see. If they didn't though, there wasn't anything conclusive there as far as if/when he was actually tagged.

Not ridiculous at all...it was horrendous baserunning by Wade.

Very frustrating player. Has great tools, but hes a terrible hitter, makes bad base running decisions and looks like this cock mongrel:

Rosinbagger.

6-5 good guys

Wade redeems himself a bit with the single and steal, and DJ clutch once again with the two strike, two out single.

Heck of a battle back by the B Bombers.

after Tauch got robbed, though his blast was gone. Hopefully Chappy gets it done here.

but I have zero faith in Chapman here. Honestly I would have left Loaisiga in.

Gotta love the fight in these guys, and they're really coming through big time.

I would've been happy with playing .500 til we get healthy but six in a row is a really nice bonus. Keep it rolling tomorrow night and get the sweep!

Lucky for us, you’re not the manager.

Yanks come all the way back and win 6-5.

6 wins in a row.

great win. Down 5-0 and being no-hit going into the 5th...

I agree. Hopefully they can keep him on the roster. Dude can pick it.

in Anaheim.

Love it.

Chapman also got a huge break when Tauchman caught that rocket off a hanging slider. Otherwise you'd have Trout up with 2 men on.

I’ve been killing Wade lately - and the blunder at 2B made me want to strangle him, but his speed on the bases was a huge reason why we won this game. So, kudos to him for that. He certainly had a hand in this win.

Frazier is IL-bound. Small tear. They’re saying 10-14 days. Weeeee.

With our recent luck he'll hurt the other ankle while re-habbing...

...

Didn't stay up to watch it, but it sounds like the subs are getting it done at the plate. Amazing! Sorry to see Sabathia got hammered, though. Does not bode well for the rotation.

He gave up five but he didn't really have a fastball last night. Saying that, I wouldn't say he really got hammered. He gave up two solo homers to Simmons, and then later didn't get any help from the Snchez error before giving up the 3 run HR to Calhoun. That was just a slider that hung in a bad location and Calhoun jacked it.

CC gutted out five though and finished strong, with Johnny pitching a fantastic three shutout innings to give them time to comeback.

No doubt I would've liked better from CC but I think maybe chasing the 3,000 K's had some effect. He had his whole family flown in for last night and I have to think that had at least a little to do with his start/ focus. He did get three K's last night and needs three more. Hopefully he gets them in his next start in Arizona, and gets it out of the way.

Love it. I love getting the opportunity to watch the kid develop in the bigs, but i hope they send him back down and give him a prolonged stretch of building innings and getting deeper into games.

A bit ironic that the chatter is going to be whether DJLM or Estrada should be the 4th OF after we talk all offseason about the OF glut.

Hopefully this 10-14 day stretch of playing 9 innings every day can help Wade settle down and let the game come to him a bit. I won’t kill him for that thing at second base. Lesson learned. (As a fan, I have to say that the cheap little shit like that annoys me). But his speed and glove will be a help. He’s made some really solid plays at the warning track in LF the last few games. He does a really nice job of tracking the ball and finding the wall under control, for a guy who has spent the majority of his development as an IF.

Pretty surprising to see a comeback win like that from this lineup. Nice to see DJLM heat back up a bit.

is unbelievable. As long as the Yankees are healthy in October and can hang on until then. But man, it is concerning.

And yet, the Yankees keep winning. I can't wait for another post today criticizing Boone.

really is a baseball IQ test, isn't he?

.

They said there was 'discoloration' is his ankle, that's why they sent him for a MRI. It should only be a couple weeks. They say it's not a bad situation.
A great win for this team though, down 5-0, these guys that are playing now are a scrappy bunch!
The next post will probably be criticizing Sanchez instead, with the golden sombrero, and costly error.

...no one ever heard of.

And welcome back Gary Sánchez, 0-for-4, 4 strikeouts and a crucial fielding error.

OF issue goes back to hose earlier trades. How is Rutherford doing? McKinley?

He is indeed. I say it often.

Closers often are in general.

But not much power, and he's struggling mightily in his AA debut this year.

McKinney is struggling too, in Toronto

Mateo hasn't done well, is that correct?
The pitcher, Kaprielian, can't get healthy.

Mateo struggled last year in AAA but is off to a terrific start this year.

Fowler has been kind of like Wade - keeps playing well in the minors but struggling in the majors. Looking like a AAAA kind of player.
