Snell vs. Tanaka

73 degrees and clear skies at first pitch. Looks to be a gorgeous day for baseball.

let's win in a laugher

RasputinPrime : 5/18/2019 12:37 pm : link

today.

Gardner

mitch300 : 5/18/2019 12:37 pm : link

Must have better numbers than Frazier against Snell.

Should be a good one with Snell and Tanaka going

Jints in Carolina : 5/18/2019 12:48 pm : link

I just don't get all of this Game of Thrones shit

Jints in Carolina : 5/18/2019 1:01 pm : link

Tanaka strikes out the side in the first

Jints in Carolina : 5/18/2019 1:16 pm : link

Wild pitch by Snell

adamg : 5/18/2019 2:17 pm : link

gives us our first run.

Voit

GruningsOnTheHill : 5/18/2019 2:26 pm : link

Nice grab on a wicked short hop that was ticketed for RF. I�m not seeing this �minus� defender out there�the guy can pick it.

1-0

RasputinPrime : 5/18/2019 3:04 pm : link

Mostly because we have yet another ump that is gifting pitchers strikes. It's boring as hell

Terrible slide

GruningsOnTheHill : 5/18/2019 3:08 pm : link

by Hicks

Yup thought he had a chance to slide away from the tag (perhaps head first). The OFs throw was on the money, credit where due, but Hicks may still have gotten in with a better slide

1-1

RasputinPrime : 5/18/2019 3:12 pm : link

Kahnle gives up a Lowe-job in relief of Tanaka.

Now Tanaka may be injured.

Hsilwek92 : 5/18/2019 3:26 pm : link

Christ.

Xrays negative on Tanaka

RasputinPrime : 5/18/2019 3:30 pm : link

...zzz....

Hopefully

GruningsOnTheHill : 5/18/2019 3:52 pm : link

the Yankees can push one across before the Rays do. Snell is a great pitcher; too bad Hicks couldn�t avoid that tag.

Ray's with 4 OFers

RasputinPrime : 5/18/2019 4:01 pm : link

Against Torres. This isnt beer league...or is it?

Ninth inning tied up

Beer Man : 5/18/2019 4:15 pm : link

And Maybin watches 3 strikes go. Never lifted the bat off his shoulder; wtf

Now Holder

Beer Man : 5/18/2019 4:17 pm : link

Why does Boone consistently do this. Holder can not be trusted in these types of situations.

Oy vey

DC Gmen Fan : 5/18/2019 4:34 pm : link

2-1 Rays

illmatic : 5/18/2019 4:34 pm : link

Cessa gives up a homer.

Still have last licks

GruningsOnTheHill : 5/18/2019 4:35 pm : link

but this has not been a fun game to watch. It has been exacerbated by these troll Rays announcers.

Some bad trades

RasputinPrime : 5/18/2019 4:36 pm : link

Yelich for some baseballs the worst but the Rays stealing Meadows and Glasgow a close second

LUUUUKE!

adamg : 5/18/2019 4:41 pm : link

Hicks got umped there

adamg : 5/18/2019 4:43 pm : link

on the 1-0

This strike zone is awful

illmatic : 5/18/2019 4:43 pm : link

No excuse for the lack of runs but yeah.

Should be 3-0

adamg : 5/18/2019 4:44 pm : link

3-1

adamg : 5/18/2019 4:44 pm : link

Ball 4 in the same place as ball 2

Hicks chased that.

adamg : 5/18/2019 4:46 pm : link

too bad.

Oof

illmatic : 5/18/2019 4:46 pm : link

Hicks today. That slide and now striking out on ball 4.

Then Sanchez today...

illmatic : 5/18/2019 4:48 pm : link

probably even worse. 4 K's and ends the game with a double play. Tough loss.

Sanchez had a rough day as well

robbieballs2003 : 5/18/2019 4:49 pm : link

Can�t win �em all

GruningsOnTheHill : 5/18/2019 4:51 pm : link

but that was pathetic. That was what�5 innings� with Snell out of the game and the only guy that even touched 3B was Hicks when he got thrown out at the plate?

Need to go wash my eyes out

RasputinPrime : 5/18/2019 4:52 pm : link

With something decent because today, outside of Tanaka, was fugly

Well that sucked.

Hsilwek92 : 5/18/2019 5:20 pm : link

Oh well, just win the series tomorrow.

Hicks looks a little chunky. I wonder if he isn't quite in game shape yet. Normally he would beat that easy.

If he hadn't tried to dodge the tag that way and had let his foot continue straight to the plate everything might have turned out differently.

Tampa Bay at 1/3 Yanks salary...

M.S. : 5/18/2019 6:28 pm : link

...they are one fucking pain in the ass.

Awful game. Wasted a fantastic pitching performance.

jgambrosio : 5/18/2019 6:54 pm : link

One bad pitch by kahnle, never should have gotten to cessa. Hicks with a terrible slide. Couldn't touch their bullpen. Can't blame Boone today. Hopefully we can take it back tomorrow.
