Yankees Lineup:


Unfortunately Gardner is in the lineup tonight. I guess Allen is tired from last night?

Orioles not posted yet.

Had to call Baltimore to  
section125 : 8/4/2021 5:08 pm : link
get their twitter lineup posted.

I knew Gardy would be in the lineup.  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 8/4/2021 5:47 pm : link
Alright… now that I’ve complained about him, hopefully he’ll have a good game.
It just bugs me every day I see Gardner in the lineup.  
Matt M. : 8/4/2021 6:23 pm : link
Is it true all 3 pitchers last night made their MLB debuts?

Housekeeping - Gil sent down today, but only because, as an emergency call up due to COVID, he does not need to stay down 10 days. He is supposed to be called back to start again on Sunday

I agree with this. I mean I'd be fine if it was every once in a while, but this insistence that he needs to be a regular player is truly irksome
Rizzo with the greatest walk of all time.  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 8/4/2021 7:31 pm : link
Judge with a another motherfucking double play.
How many DPs per night  
section125 : 8/4/2021 7:33 pm : link
is Aaron Judge hitting into? Swings at first pitch and into DP.
Rizzo works 13 pitch walk at bat to get a walk and Judge swings at 1st pitch...WTF is going on with these bozos
No hit thru  
section125 : 8/4/2021 8:02 pm : link

He's like a better version of Rizutto. He goofs around a lot in the booth, but when he talks baseball, he knows his stuff.

It's so hard to believe because of the very painful and memorable losses they suffered. Imagine if they, had held on to win a few of those that they gave away.

Of course he was. What is he hitting, about 80 points higher than Gardner, OBA about 100 points higher, and OPS 250 points higher, plus a better glove. So, why let him play? So, now him and Florial are down and Garnder continues to start in CF every day and Wade continues to get at least a start a week.
Rizzo is SUCH a good hitter. A real hitter. Battles every pitch  
Victor in CT : 8/5/2021 7:31 am : link
Fouls off pitches with 2 strikes. A true pro. 13 pitch AB for a walk. A clutch dinger. Sign this guy up
Also, Taillon impressed me last night because he didn't have his best  
Victor in CT : 8/5/2021 7:36 am : link
stuff, was just a little off, but he didn't shit the bed. He still battled, kept the game within reach and pitched into the 7th inning so the bullpen didn't get abused.

I hope Cole was paying attention.
Yes, it is the Orioles...but...  
PA Aggie : 8/5/2021 8:46 am : link
they are playing MUCH better ball in almost every category. When they get the RISP hit, the bloop drops in, tiny mistakes don't hurt as much. In the first half of the season every mistake (fielding error, baserunning, etc) may have caused the loss.

If just two or so guys per game can be 'hot'. (Stanton is still a mystery how he can go from hot to ice cold in one game?) We just can't have the entire team in a slump for extended periods. I think we have the bats to do it now, a different energy on the team. Maybe there can be a run? Would love to see a Boston Massacre #2. (#3?)

Makes absolutely zero sense. He should be starting in CF!
This playing people because of what they meant in the past
to an organization is not winning decision making.
Then they pick up this guy Davis, who can run, but can't hit, and put him on the 26 man roster.
What a joke.

Right after the 13 pitch at bat, Judge swings at the
first pitch and bangs in to a DP.
At least he had a great throw from RF,
nailed a fast runner in Mullins.
