BB, WP, HBP. almost a full Schiraldi

 

[Soxy]

Just need a pop-up and a double play ball. In any order.

That's all I ask.

 

[sean1562]

Hopefully immediately after he signs a 10/350m contract.

riding judge hard, destroying his body in the OF, and letting him walk with no offer is peak yankees. he is gone once his years of control are up, he will be 33.

just learned he was born 4 days before my younger brother, typing that made me feel old.

Oh.

 

[strek1]

Just what you want to do. Give these clowns free bases.

 

[brandonchristensen]

That's a great series.
Roll 2 and let Duffy go another.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

So the moment is a little too big for Mr. Littel.

While I have the floor, I'd like to share with you my last few minutes of internet time-wasting in which I discovered that Mark Littel, the Royals reliever who surrendered the Chambliss shot, went on after his baseball career to invent, patent, and market the NUTTYBUDDY which bills itself as the premier athletic supporter, "providing never-seen-before- levels of comfort and protection."

So there's that.

[brandonchristensen]

How can you go from that 3 pitch K to that junk?

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Why do I feel like this isn’t going to end well.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Those mutants in the stands are just horrifying.

 

[shawnrbu]

The Twins are still paying their debt for winning the World Series with an 85 win team in 87.

 

[Ale Xander]

Mother f'er

 

[patinorange]

Twins, the Twins.

 

[Leather]

Oh fuck off

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Swell

 

[brandonchristensen]

Fuck you.

Don't walk losers.

I'm out.

 

[Ale Xander]

The Twins are still paying their debt for winning the World Series with an 85 win team in 87.

Wasn't the debt paid off when the Cardinals won in '11 or whenever

 

[Ale Xander]

Raffy would have had it

But then he would have thrown the ball to the backstop

 

[sean1562]

yea this is gonna go how we all expected it to go. twin with no buxton and a hobbled kepler are a significantly worse team. their starting rotation overperformed in the first half, berrios is a #2 starter

 

[sean1562]

Raffy would have had it

But then he would have thrown the ball to the backstop

exactly what i thought when i saw it go off of his glove. not the second part but the first part haha.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

the Yankees have not played particularly well in this game.

Peak Yankees?

 

[phrenile]

Still ridiculous dimensions for a stadium.

 

[sean1562]

Peak Yankees?

like, a classic yankees move. it is a term that is popular with the youth haha. i have recently returned to grad school so i spend a lot of time with people in their mid to low 20s

 

[amRadio]

I'm still all in for the Twins comeback

 

[The Filthy One]

The Twins can battle back and lose in more excruciating manner than this. Come on.

 

[gedman211]

Everyone trying really hard to not talk about the juiced baseballs

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I was able to figure out what it means. How is that a classic Yankees move?

 

[McBride11]

Who are these announcers?

 

[gedman211]

I think what he is trying to say is, Fuck the Yankees

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Who are these announcers?

You don't watch much nationally televised baseball, do you?

 

[gedman211]

Who are these announcers?

Smoltz, Verducci, and Marcel Proust

 

[strek1]

He just walked a guy, so swing at 3 borderline pitches. Smart.

sorry it wasnt my intent to be patronizing. i was saying that the yankees arent a sentimental franchise and they are unlikely to give a beloved aging player any sort of big deal. as i type this i am seeing the irony considering our current predicament with mookie. i was really just trying to talk shit against the yanks

 

[gedman211]

You don't watch much nationally televised baseball, do you?

Or any Amercan sporting event of the last 40 years

 

[strek1]

Smoltz, Verducci, and Marcel Proust

I LOVE it! He thinks he is that's for sure.

P.S. I wish Costas were just a Remembrance of Things Past

 

[McBride11]

It was a brain block due to beer on a Friday.
Plus i couldnt see Bob’s weird pink eye

 

[sean1562]

I think what he is trying to say is, Fuck the Yankees

haha yes, thank you, that was what i was going for

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Smoltz, Verducci, and Marcel Proust

That’s funny

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

If the Twins scored 100 the Yankees would score 101.

Nah, no offense taken, and I despise everything Yankee.
I just don't think of them as having a long history of developing superstars and then letting them walk. But I'm old and forgetful.

That's a great explanation.

 

[McBride11]

In soviet russia , ball catch you!

 

[strek1]

Boone having a good time with that pen tonight.

 

[sean1562]

Cano would probably be the most recent comp with Judge. I cant imagine that they re-sign either one of Judge or Sanchez when they run out of controllable time. torres probably sticks around

 

[Leather]

Games going to end 8-9 Yankees after a questionable call.

 

[gedman211]

entertaining game

 

[McBride11]

That's a great explanation.

They were IPAs? Doubles?

 

[strek1]

Who's coming in to pitch? Cody who? She-shack?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

They were IPAs? Doubles?

No, I was serious. Especially the eye part.
