I have no idea why Stanek even bothered going near the strike zone once he was down 3-0 in the count. Judge is the best player in the sport right now. Throwing him a strike there was absolutely bonkers.. but I'm sure glad he did.
It's not 1998 that this team reminds me of, it's 2009. That team pulled out a number of improbable comebacks just like this one, and every time you thought they couldn't do it again, they did
as I mentioned, skipped this game for the NBA draft
(as a Knicks fan, a whole other story) - but picked this up in the bottom of the 9th. May be the best win of the year given the implications for the ALCS.
"you never feel like you're out of it" with a team. But that is not the case with this Yankees team. It's not a cliche for them. It actually is 100% the case here. Down 3-0, they tie it up. Then, they get down 6-3, and not only tie it, but win it in the bottom of the 9th by scoring 4 runs in that inning.
BTW, are the Yankees still only beating the bad, or just average teams? Or, are they beating good teams, too? ;)

They are beating the good, the bad and the ugly. ;)

Good call, definitely agree. Losing track of the amount of wins this season where I've thought to myself they would have never pulled that off last season.
Hicks pimped the hell out of that home run. Love it
Good point...With that said, just glad the Yanks pulled this one off, some comeback! The starters have been putting the Yanks in a hole the last three games, that little tendency
could stop. You are playing from behind the whole game.
How about Hicksie, didn't see that coming.
Why give Judge a pitch to hit on 3-0, well thank you!

I would concur, more like the 2009 team with the comebacks.
Now, lets get the same end of year result!
Since the Red Sox hot streak has irritated me, I took a look at their schedule. Nine of their last ten series have been played against teams with losing records (the other one was a 3 game set with the Cardinals). That's about to change: Through the end of July, they have just one series with a bad team, the Cubs. Seven games with the Yankees, seven with Cleveland, seven with the Rays, six with Toronto, three with Houston, three with Milwaukee. Hope they crash and burn.
The Yankees have trailed at some point in 39 games this season. Their record in those games? 21-18. Seriously.
Out of 18 losses, the Yankees have lost only three times by four or more runs. In two of those three, the game was scoreless after seven innings. The only game they've really been blown out in, after seventy games, was the 8-1 loss to Minnesota.

For a guy who boasted he would hit 30 to do that on his 3rd of the year in the fourth week of June is pretty ridiculous. Did the same thing on his 2nd two weeks ago. I have to ask, did he hit the pitch, or did the pitch happen to hit his bat :)
He needs to produce a little more consistently before acting like that. I'll take Judge. He hits one 440 and just starts running to first.

Holy shit. I’ll bet you’re a real blast at parties.
The dude just hit an enormous game tying HR against their intense rival, Why is it so hard for some of you to simply enjoy the moment and get off your pathetic soap box? Also, if you watched the entire sequence, that look on his face after hitting it was more of a sense of relief type thing where he’s thinking “jeezus, it’s about freakin time I got ahold of one”.

That's what it looked like to me too. It was kind of a goofy look, like I can't believe I just destroyed that pitch in a crucial situation. He said in the postgame that he didn't feel the contact of the ball on the bat and that only happens when you hit it perfectly. Anyway - I didn't take it as gloating directed at the Astros.
I was in Louisville yesterday and went to Churchill Downs for a few twilight races then back to downtown and took in the Bats game vs the Cubs AAA team. I’m sitting Cubs side and hear now batting Jackson Frazier. I said to my friends he looks just like Clint. Is that his brother? My one friend laughs and tells me no, that’s him and he wants to be called Jackson now.
For the record he played like shit and looked like he had no interest in being out there. Struck out a couple of times and I saw no hustle in the outfield from him at all. He really just looked like a guy going through the motions.
I would not be surprised if soon he’s either sent farther down, outright released or he just hangs up his cleats on his own. Guy showed me absolutely nothing even remotely positive last night.
RE: At least Gallo is gone at the end of the year.
As others have mentioned, the Yankees signed Hicks and Severino early to avoid the free agency drama and then injuries ruin things.
However, it looks like both players have regained enough of their old forms to be useful players through the rest of their contracts. Which would be a tremendous lucky break for the team.

I hope that is the case, as well. Need to see more though to be 100% confident that Hicks is back.
Yeah that was about as good as it gets. I like the emotion he showed too.
Early on this year I thought maybe his head just wasn’t in it anymore and he was just going through the motions. I was wrong about that and. glad he seems to be finding a way back to the player he was before the injury.
If he gets back to that it would be a huge boost for this already fantastic team and having his D skills in LF would be big.
a pro-Astro feel from Beltran's replies too. I think maybe he was trying to be neutral. But when asked how to get Altuve, he side stepped the answer.
.
As someone posted the previous day, why is Beltran even doing this series is kind of absurd...on to the game, have to give it up for Verlander, the man still has it. It wasn't the Yanks night, get them the next game. Cole needs to give the Yanks a good effort.

You can change the name. Can’t change the suck.

I love me some Red Thunder. Wish him nothing but the best.
Mute time.
3-0 Stros.
Mute time.
Absolutely. How much longer till something changes. They have to know he’s terrible. Just God awful
Batter up fellas!
Or any game ever for the Yankees. Great baseball player, awful TV guy. It’s like having Captain Obvious in the booth.
That's a win.
BTW - how can the Rangers and Royals need him less than the Yankees?
Can Gallo get into the party? Coming up...
Judge sticks it in and breaks it off.
Guy throws 100 and spins 4 straight shitty splitters up the 🤣😂
Any pitcher who can throw a high fastball has nothing to worry about against him. He’s truly entering Chris Davia territory up there
watching the highlights - clearly safe
BTW, are the Yankees still only beating the bad, or just average teams? Or, are they beating good teams, too? ;)

Fell asleep after the third or fourth inning(I guess) and woke up to find this..
Great job boys.
Coffee tastes real good this morning.

fWAR

Pretty, pretty good.

Yep, and to add..
Game-tying HR against Minnesota earlier this month.
Game winning 3-run double vs. Toronto
Game winning RBI triple vs. Tampa
Game-tying HR vs. Houston
Man has been clutch.

Hicks>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Gallo
They have to get an Of and move on from Gallo. They have to.

Hicks and Gallo are the second coming of Maris and Mantle. We're lucky to see a combination this good again

I know, but my point is that it seems unfair to have both. We should bless someone else with Gallo so they can be awesome too.

it's not on Yes here, unfortunately
Top of the 5th, runners on 1st & 3rd. Beltran: “Castro is going to do everything he can here to score the runner on 3rd.” Oh wow.
Yes. He has no control of the strike zone..
Yep, one strike.

Except for the fact he sounds like an Astros home announcer more than a Yankees one
