5/28: Lauer vs. Tanaka

[jon abbey]

Tonight NY tries to win their 9th consecutive series for the first time since the great 1998 team. They send out possibly their only actual SP of the series in Masahiro Tanaka, who has a 1.42 ERA in his last four starts combined, 4 ERs allowed in 25.1 innings. SD counters with 23 year old lefty Eric Lauer, who has been up and down but who held ARI to 1 run in 7 innings last time out.

6:30 start before another 1 PM start on Wednesday.

 

[jon abbey]

On and off rain around today/tonight, but here is the plan:

3B LeMahieu
1B Voit
CF Hicks
C Sánchez
SS Torres
DH Morales
RF Frazier
2B Estrada
LF Gardner

 

[jon abbey]

"We are keeping an eye on conditions, and we will have an update in regards to gate/game status after 4:30 pm ET."

 

[AMS25]

Tanaka gets off to a rough start.....

 

[terrynever]

If the Yankees score the next run, they will be in business. This is how they roll in 2019.

Well, the Sox game is a monsoon so here we are.

I never really understood why we gave Yankee fans a place to gamethread on a Red Sox message board. Always seemed weird to me.

I appreciate the Yankees gamethreads and the Yankee fan members. Being a Red Sox fan means following two teams, and the Yankee fans here help keep me up-to-date, especially with all the injuries this year.

Agreed. Plus the vast majority of members here who are Yankee fans are nice people. I actually almost feel bad for them when the Yankees lose (Which hasn't been NEARLY enough lately!)

Clean water is my fav kind

 

[jon abbey]

Wait, there are Yankee game threads here? Who knew?

A number of the Yankee fans posting here are craft beer guys. This is just a clever way to suck them into the craft beer thread.

 

[Blue Monkey]

Maybe a better question would have been, “why do Yankee fans want to be here”?

 

[jon abbey]

Maybe a better question would have been, “why do Yankee fans want to be here”?

Because Yankee boards suck? I think the average age of nyyfans posters is about 80, and the average IQ seems to be around half that.

 

[jon abbey]

Sanchez getting massively screwed on the strike zone tonight.

 

[crow216]

Umpire just fucked Gary so hard

 

[jon abbey]

Gleyber hits a lot of three run homers, just saying.

 

[jon abbey]

Umpire just fucked Gary so hard

The strike 3 in his first AB too, ridiculous.

 

[jon abbey]

"With 17 home runs in 37 games, Gary Sanchez ties Mickey Mantle (1956) for the most HR by a Yankee in his first 37 games of a season"

 

[crow216]

I want to punch him in the face. Stop trying to get the umpires to call the game you dickhead

 

[jon abbey]

Maybe SD should have used more pitchers this inning.

 

[NYCSox]

Here we go again with this garbage.

 

[jon abbey]

We’ll take one of those wild pitches here, please.

 

[NYCSox]

There is no way the Padres win this game. None.

 

[strek1]

Unless SD figures out how to score some more runs they are screwed. 1 run ain't gonna hold up.

 

[terrynever]

Padres’ closer Kirby Yates, a former Yankee, is the best in the game right now.

 

[EvilEmpire]

Frazier in RF just makes me sad.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Padres have done everything to blow this game.

 

[jon abbey]

Frazier in RF just makes me sad.

I think he can get better but he is close to unplayable now, brutal.

 

[NYCSox]

Padres have done everything to blow this game.

They already have.

 

[jon abbey]

Boone and Clint escape, I don't get why if you have four great relievers, you have to either use all of them or none of them.

 

[jon abbey]

Kendrys is going deep here.

 

[jon abbey]

Deep pitcher.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Chapman warming. Boone heard you, Jon.

 

[jon abbey]

Chapman warming. Boone heard you, Jon.

It's not rocket science.

 

[jon abbey]

Cessa still in, Boone learning it's not easy to run a pitching staff with three starting pitchers.

 

[jon abbey]

Time to remind Kirby what a mediocrity he was when he was here.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

And it begins.

 

[NYCSox]

Again that POS Urshela. Good night Padres.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

One more. Watch them bring out the tarp

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Or was that it?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

He should be called out for Gardner’s slide,

 

[jon abbey]

I blame the J-pop girl group behind the plate distracting Tanaka in the 1st.

 

[jon abbey]

That’s the first nine inning game NY has lost in a long time, 12-2 in their previous 14 with two extra inning losses.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

That was the most pitches Tanaka has thrown all year. Hopefully it has a carry over effect Sunday vs the Sox.

 

[jon abbey]

I mean, it was only 100, not like 130.

 

[jon abbey]

Harvey sent down, presumably for Paxton tomorrow.

 

[Petey]

Red Sox blow the game against the Tribe in epic fashion. Maintaining my sense of humor with an AleSmith Speedway Stout. What a beautiful finish (the Speedway, that is). Red Sox and Yankees appear to be lagging the competition.

Serving Sam Adams at Yankee Stadium is an odd choice. Other Half Brewing would be nice. Oracle Park serves Pliny the Elder. Yankees need to step up.

1 PM start today, who wants to take on Paddack? @EvilEmpire?

Hell, Yanks have their true ace pitching today, albeit for only 75 pitches. Paddock’s first start in YS. Kind of a big game for late May, if only to maintain momentum heading into next series.
