Taillon vs. Springs
Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees made the following roster moves:
•Transferred RHP Chad Green to the 60-day injured list.
•Transferred INF Josh Donaldson from the COVID-19 injured list to the 10-day injured list (retroactive to 5/24) with right shoulder inflammation.
He is all over the place. This is the kind of performance that warrants a fine.
clearly the idea here. I really miss pitchers needing to finish what they start and managers who had the stones to let them go for it.
Yankees win.
This. We've all roasted Boonie for *not* doing this. Nice win.
Insane (in a good way).
Yep, three huge pieces that have changed the fortunes of this team.
After years of having to bring in hired guns at the deadline and in the offseason bc they couldn’t develop a pitcher, they really seem to have cracked the code with Matt Blake. Fun to watch

Throw in Clarke Schmidt and his 0.69 ERA and you're up to a whopping $3.2 mil.
I believe it was Casey Stengel who said, during the Mets' '69 season - "You can't have miracles every day, except you can if you get good pitching."

And hand the ball to Holmes. Don't dick around and get burnt. If it was 4 or 5-0 that would be different, but they are a base runner or 2 away from being in position to tie/win the game.

Like I said last night(and before) it is stupid to send a guy back out to have him pitch to one batter and pull they guy after a hit or walk. Let the reliever start with a clean sheet.
Nice to know. I figured he'd signed elsewhere.

is throwing and could be back in 1 month...

He still has a year on his contract. He and Chapman are FA's at the end of the season.
I didn't think Britton would be back this soon..sounds like maybe all star break, then.
That’s a shame…

Baltimore is no push over anymore. They may not be a .500 team, but they certainly are not a .350 team either.
This team and year just has that special feeling to me. Last night was the kind of game in the past we would’ve been on the losing end of or found a way to blow the game late to the Rays. Not this year, these guys seem to be able to step on the throat and finish.
Helps tremendously to have Holmes closing it out and being as great as he has been obviously. Looking for a big balls game from Cole today to take the road series and push the team towards the next step of 25 over.

Yep as I've been saying on the threads all season, nobody is going 17-2 vs them this year. And that is a damn shame about the Sawx. The way Sawx Twitter has been woofing about them the past 10 days you'd think they were 20 games over .500 by now. They're pitching sucks.
Wasn't on TV. Was streamed on Amazon Prime.

No problem. Yeah, it can be annoying. I'm just glad they won. :)
The Rays have not scored in 17 of 18 innings so far in the series. Lets see if Cole can keep it up.
Strikes Again!
Strikes Again!
Short of striking them out there's nothing more he could do. They Rays hit one ball hard all day. The ump turned the whole game around with that complete whiff on the 3-2 pitch to Choi.

There has been some seriously bad umpiring behind the plate this series. MLB just does not get it.

Dude, that pitch was a fringe strike according to the box. Some of you guys want too much from these umps. Yes, I wanted the call too but from what I remembered, half the ball was in the box, the other half out of it. You want the strike call? Dont rely in the ump to make a 50/50 call

Yeah I don’t think you’re remembering correctly. Nothing 50/50 about it. It was a strike and the ump missed the call.
I was watching on Bally Sports which is the Rays channel and even they thought it was a clear strike and the call missed. They even went on during the inning saying let’s see if the Rays can capitalize on the break and then discussed how they thought the missed called might’ve affected Cole as he walked the next guy too.

Yeah it definitely affected Cole the next hitter, but that's on him he's gotta be more of a professional there. Frank you're comment makes no sense. The ball was not "half in/half out of the zone" it was a clear strike. Also "you want a strike don't rely on the ump to make a 50/50 call" So what's Cole supposed to do there? Groove one right down the middle to make sure the ump gets it right? These are major league hitters we're talking about. You miss your spot by a fraction and they cream it. Plus Choi is like a .400 lifetime hitter vs Cole. He framed him up with a perfect pitch. The ump blew it. No biggie it's one game and we didn't hit a lick so we probably didn't deserve to win. On to Sunday and let's win the series.
But on the strike zone box on the Rays' broadcast, the super-imposed "ball" was in fact on the high outside corner, with about two thirds of the ball out of the zone high and about one third out of the zone wide.
The fact that Choi almost went around I'm sure contributed to the Yankees' defense starting off the field.
In the first inning, Cole got the benefit of a called strike three against Choi on a fastball that was clearly outside by several inches and never had the plate.
I thought the young ump mostly did a good job with a lot of pitches on the edges that were deservedly called strikes for Cole.
He didn't get the last one he wanted. Stuff happens.
