I believe Jints is at Disney World? Didn't he ask about driving times from Orlando to Tampa because he was going to try to get to one of these games? I may be misremembering but I think that's the deal.

Ok, yep that sounds right. It's only 1 to 1.5 hrs down I4.

Game is luckily on mlb network down here tonight
I paid the $91 to see all the games. Worth it to me.
I have MLB too. The problem is that Rays games are blacked out because I'm in the Tampa area. Thus I have to listen to the TV on mute, or suffer these fool announcers with their non-stop ballwashing.
And Romine way over exaggerated framing that pitch to Zunino. May have cost Tanaka, of course the ump could have just called it right in the first place
It hasnt been that many ABs, and the return was so light they couldnt pass it up, but Encarnacion looks really bad and its just a tiny bit frustrating that Frazier got banished to bring him in. He really isnt hitting anything hard aside from running into the occasional mistake

Frazier cannot play defense at a MLB level. Encarnacion can. But you are right that Encarnacion is not doing what was expected.
Already more than last season. Fascinating season for him, feels like he hasnt been at his best but the power has really been there. For whats supposed to be the 4th OF, well certainly take it.
Love the emotion the team is showing with each game, special group
we want the Rays to not be an optimistic bidder who harbors illusions they can catch us with a dip into the deadline pool
Even if we sweep them they are still going to dip into the trade deadline because they are in a wild card race
They showed a stat earlier about the Indians and As catching fire while they've been 10-17 in the last month. They could fade pretty quick if we put them out of their misery.

That's possible if they can't turn it around after the all star break and lose most of their series
Rays get 2 straight singles after Hale records the first out
I assume that the willingness to take risks ( like maybe trade for a rental from their talented farm system) is less if aiming for a WC because the payoff is much riskier.
I agree that they would do well to be in a race while looking for real estate deals from other cities but we want to make them think hard and perhaps no be in on trades we may want to make.
None of that plays out if we don't win the series. The closer they get the more they look at our injuries and tough schedule and say "why not us"?
but I feel this past week we've been cheating the reaper a bit putting the tying run on all the time. ehhh who cares wins are wins just being nit picky...
Missed some in the middle, but saw the three Yankee homers. Late innings for the Yankees remain a terrifying experience for their opponents. Judge resumes his heroic status. Gardner does it again (yes, yet again) in a key, game-determining HR performance late. Team somehow survives into extra innings -- Rays could have, but didn't win it earlier. BP works well enough, but still unsteady, requiring the closer dramatics of Chapman. Great, great baseball!

That is, missed Hicks' tying HR in the 8th. Sort of an important miss.
Hes one of the best closers in baseball. Perfect he is not. They arent all Mariano...
Bad take.
Funny thing is Mariano wasn't perfect either. Chapman actually has a higher regular season save percentage than Rivera. 89.1 vs 90.2. Mariano just had this aura with Yankees fans that he never gave up leads.

One reason is that he was almost unbeatable in the playoffs. Another is that his blown saves tended to be clustered together - he'd have a tough couple of weeks, usually early in the season, where he blew a handful of saves and then he would be lights out for the rest of the year.
He made several pitches that, from what we've seen most of this year, should have been called strikes. Certainly when the Yanks are batting those are called strikes. Now all of a sudden they are calling balls unless it actually is in the strike zone...
Cant wait for electronic strikes/balls detection. We are there, as far as the technology is concerned I suspect.
and then gets sharper as the inning goes on. Normally when he comes out sharp, he stays sharp and has an easy inning. Big Lou, I disagree, those were a bit outside and he called it that way most of the night. He was not giving low strikes consistently. But it is a rare night Chapman throws 9 pitches to retire the side.
Let's also remember he came on with two on and one out and got out of it. While it wasn't perfect he did his job.
He'll be unavailable today.
Crazy how last year they struggled with the Rays, especially in Tampa
Big-time hits by Hicks, Judge, and Gardy. I wish Boone would give Sanchez and DJ actual days off. Don't want to run them into the ground so early.
Sanchez had the night off, but pinch hit and stayed in the game in the 9th. Romine took a couple of nasty foul tips off the knee and forearm.
Just saw a list and Gardy has played the most - 82 games. DJ has 80. Gardy the part timer playing full time. I guess the $7.5 mill Cash spent on him was worth it.

None are Mariano. We got spoiled watching him.Even with a couple of other HOF contemporaries, there was no comparative closer. Nobody had the year over year, ot just consistency, bht dominance.
...Brendan McKay is gonna be a real pain in the ass for years to come. He's got real good stuff and the demeanor to match it. Wish he was wearing pinstripes instead!

It would actually be right about now. He generally came out of the break a little tired and had about 2 weeks of tough outings. They'd rest him a drop and then he was lights out the rest of the way.
As for the moron post, nobody claims he was perfect or infallible. But he was head and shoulders the best nearly every year and unquestionably the best when you look year over year. He was dominant every year, right up through his final season. He was consistently great. His contemporaries tended to flane out after 2-3 seasons. He never did.
he often had a drop in late July/August and then he would regain form in September through November.
I also agree that he could have had one more season perhaps two but at lesser effectiveness. He had lost mileage by then and he was easier to hit and he needed more rest between games. It was time.
He came back after his injury so he could end on his terms and he did
What is the lastest rumor/consensus in baseball around electronic
Ok, yep that sounds right. It's only 1 to 1.5 hrs down I4.
Rays punching balls away from the shift. Two singles just soft hit.
Next Monday Wednesday and Thursday he will be off
I doubt it. Gardner is much faster than Hicks and is still a better fielder. Only thing Hicks has on Gardner in the field is his arm.
What's with their hand wave celebration? Did I miss something?
Game is luckily on mlb network down here tonight

The four fingers opposed wave. They are not telling. Team only thing.

Well to be fair he was clearly K'd. And as for the HR the guy does have power you can't deny that
Frazier cannot play defense at a MLB level. Encarnacion can. But you are right that Encarnacion is not doing what was expected.
Absolute garbage pitching and then throws ball 4 in the dirt. Why do you nibble on a gut batting .205?
Chapman was up so he'll be in the game in the bottom of the 11th unless the Yanks pile on a lot of runs
Just move to Montreal so we can enjoy watching road games.
Gardy coming through big makes me smile. An all-time great Yankee.
Hold on to it Chappie!
Even if we sweep them they are still going to dip into the trade deadline because they are in a wild card race

We don't want that
All three OFs had a homer tonight. (Tauchman doesn't count.) 6 RBIs on 4 Hrs..
One of the most fun teams to watch in my 60 years as a Yankee fan.
(My earliest sign-post was having my heart shattered by Bill Mazeroski)
There is no getting Chapmand

I still remember the Mazeroski home run. It's one of those things that you remember where you were when it happened.
Well, I guess it isn't just football where you sound like a whining moron.
That is, missed Hicks' tying HR in the 8th. Sort of an important miss.

Yankees: 27th comeback win of season, tied with Dodgers for the most in MLB.
Last year had 37 comeback wins the entire season (12th in MLB)

Im giddy around how it would help judge's numbers. Imagine all those knee high (or shall I say below) strikes he's gotten in his career.
