Hill vs. Cole
Game is only on Apple TV.....good job MLB!
Don't have Apple TV. I may have to try one of the streaming sites.
Bader said even before he was activated that he wasn't really 100%. I'm not surprised that they're going to give him a few days off here and there.
1) Benintendi LF
2) Judge CF
3) Stanton RF
4) Rizzo 1B
5) Carpenter DH
6) Torres 2B
7) Donaldson 3B
8) Trevino C
9) IKF SS
It would be huge if Carpenter could return. If 10D does not make it back Cabrera in his place .

I don’t think they’ll sit Bader for Carpenter come playoff time

Didn’t realize that. He’s not playing like a guy who’s not 100%. He’s been balls to the wall so far.
There will be no live look ins tonight apparently.
Correct - Apple's contract gives it exclusivity which precludes any other network doing a look-in.

Wow, I thought they agreed to let mlb network and espn to doing a live look in.

and Hicks needs to never never ever play. If injured players were magically to return my playoff lineup would be :
1) Benintendi LF
2) Judge CF
3) Stanton RF
4) Rizzo 1B
5) Carpenter DH
6) Torres 2B
7) Donaldson 3B

That would be a mistake. Slap hitting righty bat instead of Carpenter in Yankee Stadium ? For marginally better defense in CF ? No thanks . This all righty lineup needs Carpenters lefty bat .
c)Carpenter may not be able to make it back at all this season. Even if he does, it will be too late for him to get any at-bats before the playoffs start.
Agreed.
And lol a HR given up by Cole.
Given what he's being paid, it's not even going to be a question, but if I had my way, I wouldn't start him in Game 1 this postseason.
No smart tv, laptop, tablet, or phone available?

i can't watch this game. MLB and Apple can suck a bat.

no apple account.
I found an alternative.
I know that's sort of a new broadcast style now with Manning-cast, Kayrod, etc. but those are always secondary telecasts from the main one. That's not what this is supposed to be, but it feels like that... if that makes sense.
#100!
Tie game.
Judge is coming so close but getting under it again tonight. I blame talking imbecils.
You called it. ;)

The announcers are listed as Stephen Nelson, Hunter Pence, Katie Nolan, and Heidi Watney.

Not bad. Tied it up. Judge? Later.

The commentary is seriously horrendous. Whoever the girl is... just beyond awful. It doesn't sound professional. It sounds like 3 friends sitting on a couch just kinda bullshitting their way through the game.

It must be Katie Nolan, then... whoever she is. Heidi Wantey is their "sideline" reporter, she jumped in before and was fine. She's on MLBN pretty regularly. The booth is just bad... Stephen Nelson is about as interesting as blank paper and Hunter Pence isn't exactly the guy I'm looking for insight from.
It's a tough listen.

Just you wait and see.

Told my dad earlier, he's going to hit two dingers tonight. Thats 1!

Katie Nolan was put in the booth precisely because she doesn't have PBP experience.
She speaks about once per half-inning, so even if you can't stand her, she can't be honestly accused of hurting the broadcast.

What *was* she put in the booth for? I still haven't figured it out.
Look at how awful Netflix and Amazon produced content is now.
Smaller, integrated, sandboxes.
Hicks is bringing it today.
2-1
Credit where it's due, good call.
Cmon big fella. This old ass MFer has him tonight.
I don’t know, I think Netflix is still putting out great content. As is Apple for that matter.

Well she's the one who made the inane comment about Judge's batting average lead only being able to increase not decrease since Bogaerts isn't playing. And she sounded pretty silly on Judge's flyout to left. She may be a small part of the broadcast, but she hasn't been a good part.

I just tuned in an inning ago, and logged on here just to see if you guys had figured out who this moron woman announcing is. Fucking embarrassing
They showed the Maris/Judge/Ruth HR graphic, and she chimes in saying “imagine if you didn’t know that!”
Thanks brother. Just doing my thing baby!
Heidi is awesome. Too bad she isn't more involved in the broadcast
How the hell is he the only top starter who gets lit up every time out.
4-4
Cone's point about limiting his arsenal to a few better pitches makes sense to me. Fastball, slider, change. That's all he needs.
Good point. He's very self-destructive when he feels slighted.
Quote:
Classic Cole. Doesn't get a call, and then gives up a 3-run game tying bomb immediately after because he can't just move onto the next pitch.
Good point. He's very self-destructive when he feels slighted.
Exactly and this is the characteristic I would have hoped the Yankees would have identified before they backed up the truck with cash. He will always implode at some point. He isn't next level mentally tough.
He desperately needs a sports psychologist if he doesn't already have one.

His postseason numbers are excellent though. I'll wait until he fails in the big moment before piling on.

You play to win. You do that by acting like a winner.

And then he goes ballistic on the umpire. Not a good look for him, honestly. I get it was a tough call, but you gotta make a pitch there.

I not sure about acting like a winner. Cole had a reason to bitch. It started the inning before with Devers. The pitch was low and called a strike and then the next pitch which was better then the pitch before was called a ball. All you ask for from any umpire is consistently. Clearly not the case tonight.

Judge eats that every single AB. He hasn't been tossed once.

You’re right. Boone gets tossed instead. WTF
She's a Red Sox fan on top of it. Brutal. It literally sounds like a fan "won" some sort of raffle to call an Apple+ game.
That's basically the level of quality she's brought to the broadcast.
Never change, Katie.
5-4
Judge unlikely to come up tonight though.
Never change, Katie.
Lol. Bizarre.
The criticisms are fair. She hasn't brought anything to the broadcast and has even made statements that were flat wrong/incorrect in the process. Glad you're enjoying it so much.
Anyway. We've got a lead.. let's see if we can close this out without a circus.
Darth Bader
Hicks for MVP.
That aside, nice to flush those losers from Boston again
A Tamp win makes the magic number 5.
Never change, Katie.
So people should accept mediocrity???
Cole who has "stuff " but no balls in critical games. He absolutely sucks in high leverage games and various points in games. Cole will be the starter in the opening game of the first playoff game but hold your breath. I have zero confidence in the man to shown up big time in important games or situations.

See my issues with Cole start with last year's WC game and all the Hr's he's given up this season especially the 3 run jobs in crucial spots. To say he "absolutely sucks in high leverage games" is nonsense. He was great in the '19 post season and really good for the Yanks in the '20 post season. Cole throughout his career has been superb. This year not so much.
