Yankees



Reds

Ha, was watching the PGA Tournament  
section125 : 5/19/2023 6:51 pm : link
and missed another missile from Judge to CF...1-0
This "pitcher friendly" umpire  
section125 : 5/19/2023 7:10 pm : link
has missed 3 obvious strikes for Schmidt. One in the 1st inning was clearly in the box and it was called a ball.

But I will say the OF TV camera is awful. Must be in mid LC - angle is so severe.
Bizarre strike zone  
section125 : 5/19/2023 7:17 pm : link
tonight. Incoherent. Hate games like this.
Now the umps are harassing  
section125 : 5/19/2023 7:48 pm : link
Schmidt for I guess sticky stuff...and the Reds Manager is tossed for saying Schmidt should have been thrown out.

MLB better get their shit together.
Another rosin game

Schmidt told to wash his hands and Reds mgr Bell gets thrown out. Wtf.
Ugh I can't stand this announcer.

Ryan Ruocco is a BBI fav..
That wasn’t a strike, but the Yanks escape holding the lead

Nicely pitches his way out of a real jam.
And that AB is why  
section125 : 5/19/2023 8:32 pm : link
Higgy should not be in MLB. He is a terrible hitter. Swings at three bad pitches with 2nd and 3rd 1 out.

Different strokes but I think he’s really good. I’d take him every day over Kay.

Kay comes off as a pompous ass to me almost like an entitled snob, but RR brings a genuine enthusiasm to his calls. He also knows his stuff but doesn’t smack you over the head with it like Kay.

With how many times Judge gets umped every season, I’ll take a call a couple inches off the plate in our favor anytime

Agreed. I’m warming to Ruocco, mostly bc he’s not that insufferable twit Michael Kay

And that 2 out, 2 RBI, double is why Higgy should be in MLB!
This team just keeps on winning!  
Dave in Hoboken : 5/19/2023 9:24 pm : link
Another nice road Win.
Well that was nice.  
section125 : 5/19/2023 9:27 pm : link
Schmidt with a good job. 6-2
They need to dominate weaker teams like this  
Greg from LI : 5/19/2023 11:21 pm : link
That’s how Tampa built their big early lead. They’re something like 19-2 against sub-.500 teams.

Keep winning and they should be in good position once they start getting more guys back from injuries. Rodon is still throwing with no setbacks. Cross your fingers.

+1. …..Admittedly, he looked like walrus manure on that K, but Higgy continues to have big hits when you least expect it.

I prefer Kay ver Rucco. To each it’s own.
what a turnaround this week has been  
Victor in CT : 5/20/2023 6:56 am : link
the big guy back in the lineup showing why he's the MVP.

Like Ruocco alot, can't stand Kay.

The kid filling for Sterling on the radio is really good. Only problem is that that blithering twit Waldman seems to think she has to talk non stop with Sterling out. SHe has to go.
Just get a tackier baseball  
Carson53 : 5/20/2023 10:21 am : link
and this nonsense would go away with the umpires, including checks very inning. That is not what fans pay to see.
They have a tackier baseball in Japan for example, although the ball itself is slightly smaller. just do it MLB!
Starting next season would be nice...

Good to keep it going against the Reds, that team is only slightly better than the A's. Going to miss the Sunday game on
Peacock, what a joke that is with 11:00 games...

Ruocco is a little too syrupy for me, although I don't love Kay either. Kay is making a lot of mistakes this year.
A Fair PreReq  
GiantGrit : 5/20/2023 10:57 am : link
to calling games is not sounding like you smoked a pack of Newport's everyday for 30 years. I cannot stand Kay's voice
Kay is pretty much terrible  
GruningsOnTheHill : 5/20/2023 12:56 pm : link
Those "See Ya" home run calls are like fingernails on a blackboard. They need to hand Paul O'Neill a blank check and have him work all the games in order to make Kay a little bit less insufferable.
It’s  
mitch300 : 5/20/2023 1:23 pm : link
Amazing to me how many Yankee fans on BBI hate their team announcer. Obviously John Fillipelli disagrees.
To each his own  
CasualFan : 5/20/2023 1:44 pm : link
I am not a fan of how Ruocco sets up the color announcers. Don't like how he manages the telecast. Too loud.

I long for the days of Frank Messer and Bill White.

But the Yankees won so that's the main thing.
