75 degrees and partly cloudy with a 19% chance of precip at first pitch. But they should be good to go.
I want CC to hit at least three guys tonight.
that's what i'm gathering as well which totally sucks because it isn't only whether we win or lose but how much fun the fans have watching the game. I really miss seeing them out there.
Nope

Haha yup, he clearly hasn’t learned proper coach-speak when it comes to delivering bullshit to cover up injuries
Kay just said they are on for the pro-rated league minimum of Morales salary.

Armed Forces Day tomorrow. They will wear them all weekend.
And When are the yankees going to finally admit to themselves that gardner is done ? He should not be starting anymore unless someone needs a day off or there is an injury. Maybin should be playing over him. Even tauchman has better numbers then him this year

Tauchman playing over Gardner is just wrong and Tauchman is where he belongs in SWB.
Gardner needs a few days off.

It's not wrong if we are going based on merit and not based on past history. Either way, tauchamn is in AAA and my point wasn't vouching for tauchman to come back up it was to say how bad gardner has been .
And he needs more then a few days off. There is nothing that shows he should be starting anymore . His AB aren't good anymore and he has the worst numbers on the team
Anyone else getting more and more popup ads while the game is going on? It's gotten way too prominent.
Getting tight now.
same pitch that was a ball on 2-2 to Torres, was called for a third strike on the next pitch. Infuriating.
As Torres throws the ball away....
That was on Sanchez, not Green. Green's FB is great high in the zone. Low is easier to hit. Did you not listen to O'Neill keep saying get the FB up.
He gets lackadaisical too often and that is what that was.
I agree section and have been saying the same thing for a couple of years now. He does the same thing with Chapman. Both guys are so much more effective up in the zone, but Gary seems to always want it down.
You'd think a catcher would think like a batter sometimes and know it's easier to just drop the bat on a low heater than it is to catch up to the high ones, and call for it up in the zone and not down. I honestly can't figure out his thinking on those types of calls.
Chad Green's ERA with Austin Romine this season is 32.40(!!!). Maybe he just sucks now regardless of what the catcher does.

Gardner does not need days off the guy stunk last year. Why they foolishly resigned this guy was mind boggling meanwhile Michael Brantley is batting over .320 for the astros he would of been a great signing.

kahnle for 8 pitches and then has green throw the whole 8th inning with a rested britton in the bullpen. They weren't going to win the game anyway because this team can't score any runs but that is just terrible managing

ain't over yet!
3-2
I assume Gleyber's shot was at least close to out?
Really enjoying this season.

I had to run to the store and had the game on in the truck and heard the same thing. Not the first time he's fucked up a call like that and won't be the last but to call a walk off homer that turns out to be a double is about as bad as it gets for any announcer.
He's horrible at describing the action on the field and a real tough listen as far as that goes. He's all schtick, and might be good on TV, but sucks as a radio announcer.

yeah, I was a radio fan in the car tonight as well, and it's hard to take. I know he and Suzyn both have their shticks but for actual fans trying to follow the game they're a disaster. We're getting robot umps, I think I would actually prefer robot announcers who just call the game to Jon and Suzyn.

Jon calls the game like we're watching it and either forgets or just doesn't care that we depend on him to be our eyes.
My favorite is when he messes up then says "we don't have a monitor here in the booth" and I'm like yeah no shit, I don't have one here at the beach, or on my deck either asshole!

I just watched the replay of Gleyber's hit on MLB TV expecting it have hit near the top of the wall...it didn't even hit the wall! It hit the warning track near the bottom of the wall, bounced off the wall right to Pham. Not even close to a home run. What an absolute brutal call.

Gardy and Kendrys are subs along with Their.
Warning track, base of the wall, not even close. Even after he tried to correct his goof, he tried to say that it hit between the scoreboard and the State Farm sign. What an ass clown

Haha, I'm not surprised in the least it wasn't close. I probably listen to about a third of the games on radio and maybe more. I hear him blow calls all the time or just not mention things like a runner moving up a base or how many outs there are.
He never fails to manage from the booth though and if anyone thinks guys posting here about moves Boone makes are bad, they need to listen to some Yankee games and hear Sterling give his opinions as facts about what should be done or what wasn't done.
I could go on and on about his shortcomings but it's futile. The Yanks evidently love him and I don't expect him to be forced out of the booth until they cart him out in a box. It sucks, such a storied franchise deserves the best announcer there is but goes for the schtick master instead.
No quit. Ultimate resilience in a scenario where about 90% of the other teams in the league would have folded or been unable to keep "thriving rather than just surviving," as Kay usually puts it.
I love this team.
1st place.
You should really be banned from ever watching a Yankees game again.
He’s been looking really good lately.

LOL. Thankfully this Yankee team has a bigger pair than a lot of fans do.
Amen to that AB by Torres. Brilliant. And pretty sure not 2 weeks or so ago one of our resident twits declared him an overrated part time player or something like that.
Tanaka-Snell round 2 today should be a good one, let’s go boys!
Try listening to Sterling for a third to half of all Yankee games for a season and get back to us.
Scooter was completely different. He rotated between TV and Radio, and wasn't responsible for calling every pitch of every game. Plus he was beloved for more than just his "Holy Cows" he was a Yankee legend on the field. He also made far far less mistakes than Sterling IMO, and if you had to listen to Sterling as much as some of us do, you'd realize that.
I have no idea when the magic wears off but this Urshela guy is something else.

Honestly though, do you listen to a lot of the games on radio? His mistakes are one thing, and last nights was a biggie but it's more the normal happenings of the game where he's bad.
He's one of the worst at actually describing the action. The Yanks could be in a defensive jam and he'll say something like "popped up" then go on to finish whatever point he was making before the pitch, al the while listeners thinking the "pop out" to be an easy out, only to have him finish his point and then tell us the ball landed foul about twenty rows back behind the dugout.
Honestly, that's just one of his typical calls. As someone who grew up with a transistor radio practically attached to me, and visualizing baseball,hockey, basketball games being described to me by greats like Messer,, and Marv Albert, it's hard to enjoy a Sterling called game because it's near impossible to visualize the game or count on him to accurately describe what's happening.
It's easy to say waiting on him to make big mistakes is entertaining but when he makes a call like last night with Gleyber, and we're going hell yeah Torres, great AB and walk off win for the Yanks, to find out it's only a double and they didn't even tie the game it isn't entertaining at all. Maybe after the fact and once they won we can laugh at him for it, but in the moment it's deflating and a cardinal sin for a radio announcer.
in Green in a tie game in the 8th. They sent him down to the minors to get straightened out, one appearance in a 7-1 game doesn't change that. Britton wasn't available.
You have Ottavino finish the 7th, and bring Kahnle on in the 8th.
The Gio magic continues, enjoy the ride.

If your name is not Vin Scully, don't have octogenarians
as announcers, that's how I look at it.
I don't have to listen to Sterling myself.
When you think there Yanks hit a walk off two run home run only to still find them down by one run, it's not a fun experience. It's not like the ball was even close to gone either.

I think Suzyn Waldman has actually been staying silent more often than before, bc she can’t get herself to correct him
