[Aggies7]

This is a giant AB

One has to wonder re: Ellsbury inducing a bunch of catcher's interference calls if he is outside the batter's box.

My first reaction to that stat.

[Aggies7]

Stop nibbling to a .150 hitter

[amjgt]

Keep the ball down!!!

 

Except when you shouldn't!!!!

It didn't hit anything other than dirt

 

Are you watching the Yankees feed?

 

[Aggies7]

Are you watching the Yankees feed?

Not by choice

[amjgt]

LOL.

 

What is Bird whining about?

[amjgt]

 

Not by choice

 

Ah. No replay on the Twins feed.

 

Live it seemed right.

[Aggies7]

6 starts for Garcia as a yankee.

 

He's never finished 6 IP

He's failed to finish 5 three times

[Brock Beauchamp]

Everybody is falling for that slider.

[DaveW]

At the game live.

 

Looks like this stupid Garcia trade is the one that keeps on giving eh? 6 strike outs his first time through the lineup.

 

Glad The FO panicked after an unlucky week of baseball!

[Riverbrian]

OK

 

The 1 time through the order grace period is over. 

 

Get to work right now Dozier. 

[DaveW]

Cy Garcia.

 

Just think, he could have been ours!

[Riverbrian]

UGGGGH

[Aggies7]

WELP, looks like I'm going to start drinking if I plan to watch any more of this dreck

Not at all.  The boys are just taking the worst at bats all season.  I haven't watched a game where there have been as many poor at bats as this game.  They should be embarrassed.

[drock2190]

Pathetic.

 

 

 

 

I should stop sugar coating this performance...

[Aggies7]

In case you're joining us late, here's what the twins did their first time through the order:

[USAFChief]

Just a bit intimidated, perhaps?

[Riverbrian]

It's like the Twins were told to be aggressive against Garcia.

 

And it's like the Twins also told Garcia that the Twins were going to be aggressive against him. 

[DaveW]

Just a bit intimidated, perhaps?

Maybe they are hoping that if they struggle for a game or two they too can be traded to a team with World Series aspirations?

[Aggies7]

Just a bit intimidated, perhaps?

I sure hope not. This ain't your daddy's Yankees, or even your nephew's

[h2oface]

Just onboard today.... Am I reading this right.... 7Ks .... GARCIA HAS STRUCK OUT 7 OUT OF 10 BATTERS?

[USAFChief]

Verlander now 3-0 for Houston with a .86 ERA. Glad we didn't pursue that "decline phase" loser.

Not a chance the Yankees make a play at the World Series.  You need to update your Aaron Hicks stats, btw... Not funny if you're playing with stats from four months ago...

Correctamundo!  Johnny, TELL HIM WHAT HE'S WON!!!!

 

Johnny:  It's an all-expense paid trip to the hat store!!!  There, you'll find numerous Twins wearing Golden Sombreros!!

Yeah... That pretty much sums it up.

Yanks have the bats, the pen and the front of the rotation to give them a punchers chance IMO.

[USAFChief]

The Yankees pen might be the best in the postseason.
