NFT: Rays at Yankees GDT 7/18 Doubleheader

Yankees are going up against two tough pitchers in Chirinos and Chick Morton. A split would be great.

I'd sign up for a split today and be done with Tampa with no ground gained.

.

2nd would be gravy and TB would have a little pressure on them.

Thanks.

.

but with the injuries we've had this year, i'm glad they aren't forcing the action.

Who gets the callup for the 26th man today?

would be the 26th man for game 2.

Joe Harvey could also be an option - he's pitched really well in Scranton lately and is on 3 days rest after pitching an inning on the 15th.

Either way - I think it's got to be a pitcher. The Yanks haven't even decided who's going to start the second game because it'll be so reliant on who we need to use in the first one.

But, I'd guess Boone will try to avoid Greenie and Nestor in Game 1 and try to go with those guys and hope he gets through 4-5... then you'll get some David Hale. See who's leftover after that.

nice.

explaining that there was a Yankees game about to start.

I grabbed my laptop, got out on their balcony overlooking the beautiful Atlantic, thinking, "ahhh,this is gonna be the life - Yankee baseball, the Ocean and, oh no, rain delay!

What are the chances that we actually do see some action?


I guess I can just dig the Ocean but it did seem like there was a chance for a perfect parlay.

My Dad just handed me a cold one so life is good.

Only one more request: we take two today

for the update on the 4:20pm start time.

Just turned on the TV here at work with the volume off (TB in-market) and I'm seeing some Rays highlights with "weather delay" across the bottom.

Hopefully they can get some ball in...

It's unbelievable how it keeps happening to him.

.

...

2-2.

...

and Gardy gave him an ovation.

can't get here soon enough. I like what Boone did he should do it every time they miss calls on Judge. So basically everyday.

He's blatantly blown 4 calls and its only the bottom of the 2nd...hey let's throw him behind there for game 2 as well!

@Jomboy_ breakdown of the Boone ejection

And already three or four hideously awful strike calls

How does that guy get the audio he gets?

I was waiting for the kneel down and batting of the gum about 10 feet

no idea, but he does a great job of grabbing awesome video/audio and is a prime lip-reader. His voice-over narrations of them are spot-on. I just discovered him a month or two ago and he's now one of my favorite Twitter follows.

I like that Boone went after him early. Nip that bullshit in the bud or at least try to. I got a kick out of the "you need to pick it up" part.

but also two HRs.

was "my guys are fucking savages in that box".

and I think the last one with the clapping was "Wake. the. shit. up."

i was wrong, now I think it's "Clean. This. Shit. Up"

I've seen more balls called strikes against Aaron Judge in the last couple of years than I've seen almost any other hitter combined in my lifetime.

Some of the pitches these umpires think qualify as strikes on him just fucking baffle me. I get that he's taller and just bigger than most other hitters, but give me a fucking break.

He gets AB's tilted against him almost every game because of that shit. It's infuriating. Good for Boone for getting out there early and letting 'em hear it.

Judge gets more balls out of the strike zone called against him than anyone in baseball. Fangraphs studied it using Statcast data and that's what they found.

good rant. love it.

winning obviously cures all things, but I personally like Boone a lot. I think he does a great job.

Yup that's it. I thought he said pick that shit up but it was definitely tighten that shit up.

Boone is a fucking legend.

That was some Grade A stuff.
