is this thing on?
Snell with some gas early  
Eman11 : 8/7/2020 6:54 pm : link
Rays announcers surprised he reached 95+ this early. They're expecting him to only go four and maybe five if he keeps his pitch count down.

Yanks three K's but at least got him to throw over 20 pitches. Here's hoping they get him out of there in four. Kid's got good stuff, and got both Judge and Hicks with 3-2 curves.
Tanakasan looking good

Locating well
LOL at the Rays' Cardboard Fans  
Jim in Tampa : 8/7/2020 7:03 pm : link
It looks like there's only a couple hundred "fans" in the stands.

I guess they wanted to make it representative of an actual crowd at a Rays game.
Great AB by Gio

Haha, I think the pumped in noise is actually louder with more going on than when there are fans there.
Gary with a great AB

Keep it going
I'd take Tanaka over Paxton long term

Imho
be honest  
RasputinPrime : 8/7/2020 7:39 pm : link
how much better is this camera angle? I can actually see why Judge is whiffing on Snell's curve.
Tanka looks very sharp  
Eman11 : 8/7/2020 7:41 pm : link
He's got it going downstairs and is tough to do anything with when he's keeping the ball down like he is tonight.

Glad to see Snell out of there. He threw 50 pitches his last start and now only 59 in this one. I guess they're taking their sweet time with him and just want to be sure he's there at the end of the year.
51 pitches through 4 for Tanaka

Yup, much needed too since Paxton, Montgomery and Happ are struggling out of the gate this year.

He’s got all his breaking pitches working tonight

Yup and now a great 8 pitch 5th inning with two K's. At this rate he should give them seven innings at least and that's big with three games in the next two days, including the doubleheader tomorrow.

It'd be nice if we could get the O going and good to see its Tauchman leading off the 6th.
Well at least it

Me too. I stepped out for a coup,e and came back to see Cessa in there and thought I missed something. Like Tanaka coming up lame or something.

Not thrilled he's out of the game but glad it's only an analytics type thing.

Older guy. Probably building arm strength since they had a short "pre-season". I want him to go long innings later in the year.

unreal start to the season for him.

Three fastballs by him
Sanchez

Couldn't do anything with it, though.
Sanchez has not hit in a year and

change. He is completely lost. Pitchers just blowing it past him. Almost missing Romine.
Cessa

seems to have good command of all three pitches. Locating well.
Cessa actually locating

To get out of now, even if Otto gets this last guy out.

performance tonight. Roe throwing batting practice down the middle and they could not even touch it.
Shit game by the offense

Wasted Tanaka's gem. He deserved a win.
Blooped It

Instead. Two tomorrow. Get back in the W column.

Ah, bullshit. How did they do against the Phillies?
That was no WP  
Carson53 : 8/7/2020 9:40 pm : link
on Ottavino as well, bounced out of Sanchez's glove.
The ball was more than 6 inches off the ground,
this is after he strikes out with the bases loaded, geez.
That was the game right there.
All Perez had to do was get the ball in the air to score a run. As a lefty hitter off Ottavino, not that hard to do.

They did nothing against Nola right? He had 12K's in
6 innings. You have to hit good pitching too, not just the O's.

I thought that was on Gary too. Kind of a lazy effort on that pitch and it was definitely catchable with a better effort. Never bounced and really no excuse for not catching it.

Well yeah it was. Ottavino missed his mark by almost three feet and the knee on the ground style works ok when the ball is thrown near the catcher, but limit his lateral agility. Shit pitch.

proves my point. They are not hitting anything. Only DJ and Urshela are consistent. Even Judge is basically HR or nothing. Stanton is 0 for his last 22.

It wasn't that bad. Go back and watch it again. Gary clearly thinks he's going to catch it and gives a nonshalant back handed stabbing type effort, and it hits off his glove.

If the pitch was as bad as you say he should've moved his whole body to get in front of it regardless of the knee on the ground and at worst knock it down to keep it in front of him. He never even attempted to move his body, and instead he just stabbed at it thinking he'll catch it but it kept breaking away from him.

I'd bet if asked its one he thinks he could've and should've made. He's been doing well back there this year and I give him credit for improving but I think sometimes he takes things for granted and it cost them this time.
I always cringe when the Yanks drafts another catcher or signs another  
Jim in Hoboken : 8/8/2020 8:24 am : link
catching IFA prospect. But I am ready to be done with the Sanchez project. Sure the HR’s are tantalizing but it’s not like we are short on RH power. I mean, it’s an automatic K against any pedestrian pitcher who can bury a breaking pitch in the dirt. Unless the automated strike zone means there will be a 10 ft x 10 ft flat panel back there, I am not giving him an extension.
