[fineyoungarm]

who have to have altuve or Stanton - which one?

[Sprowl]

Altuve: curiously strong middle infielder

 

[canderson]

I remember when Pedey was like Altuve.

 

[fineyoungarm]

Is that the SS Red Sox?

That's what Tanaka is capable of.

 

[fineyoungarm]

whew

 

[Sprowl]

Confusion and Disappointment to the Yankees! (raises mug of grog)

 

[canyoubelieveit]

Whew

 

[fineyoungarm]

Confusion and Disappointment to the Yankees! (raises mug of grog)

Aye!

 

[Brand Name]

Joe Buck, getting Truped on every last flyball. God if that's not confusing me about what to think about during this game. Exhale there, but given how the retreat and how well Tanaka is pitching, I let a big ol' FUCK! thinking that was two-run bomb.

 

[canyoubelieveit]

I'm really surprised that ball didn't go out. I've gotten pretty bad at rooting for things lately, and I was rooting for that ball to stay in the yard.

 

[Brand Name]

you have to have altuve or Stanton - which one?

This isn't close. Altuve has a career arc that projects to be better for aging curves, the contract is supremely below market and plays a more premium position for positional scarcity.

 

[Al Zarilla]

First hit: better late than never.

 

[Al Zarilla]

231 SB in 7 yrs. send him!

 

[canyoubelieveit]

Good call. For some reason I thought he looked out in real time.

 

[Al Zarilla]

That’s it!

 

[canyoubelieveit]

Sweet

 

[strek1]

you have to have altuve or Stanton - which one?

BOTH

 

[canyoubelieveit]

I think Altuve is faster than Moreland.

 

[Al Zarilla]

2-0!!!

 

[canyoubelieveit]

huge run

 

[Al Zarilla]

They can take that train and muzzle it though.

 

[twibnotes]

That sonofabitch Altuve can really hit.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Altuve tryna give it right back.

 

[rembrat]

3 run bomb incoming.

 

[Sprowl]

O Jose, can't you see?

 

[brandonchristensen]

Here come the Yankees!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Up don’t remember Pedey botching one like that.

 

[canderson]

The 3 run bomb is going to suck.

 

[canyoubelieveit]

Thought that would bloop in. I continue to be surprised when shitty things don't happen. I fully expect an annoying AB by Gardner that ends with a ball landing on the chalk in the outfield.

 

[canyoubelieveit]

I expected Frazier to hit a 3-run HR. I expected Gardner to hit a double on the line. I'm expecting Judge to hit a HR.

 

[PseuFighter]

now that's a goddamn throw.

 

[Al Zarilla]

What a play, sorry Judgey.

 

[canyoubelieveit]

WOW!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sprowl]

Thass a fookin brilliant throw and tag.

 

[rembrat]

Gotta challenge that I think

 

[canderson]

Damn. But that was a cannon to nail him at home.

 

[Soxy]

Clearly out

 

[Maximus]

Out, Big Boy throw.

 

[Sprowl]

Here come the Yankees!

Here they come, and there they go.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I'd hate Marwin Gonzalez if he was on the Yanks tbh. another guy who took a huge jump out of nowhere like Aaron Hicks.

 

[dhappy42]

Dumb challenge. Glad to see them burn one.

 

[canyoubelieveit]

Damn, that throw was absolutely perfect.

 

[Bongorific]

that was a laser

 

[Jordu]

McCann, an old pro.

 

[uncannymanny]

I'd hate Marwin Gonzalez if he was on the Yanks tbh. another guy who took a huge jump out of nowhere like Aaron Hicks.

Also, his name is Marwin.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Also, his name is Marwin.

Starwin Marwin.

 

[Al Zarilla]

How many of those warning track jobs are they going to hit?

 

[dhellers]

I hate Brett Gardner more than any rational person should

You best move over to make some room for the rest of us.

 

[canyoubelieveit]

I was frustrated by the Sox game 4 loss, mostly because of some bad umpiring, but Keuchel would very likely have beat the Sox in game 5, and even if the Sox had somehow won I think the Yankees would have beaten them handily. If the goal is eliminating the Yankees, I'm glad that Houston was able to wrap up the ALDS in 4 with Keuchel available to pitch like this today.
