Best line of the year by Bert - "Sanchez going out there again...maybe all the way to second base this time"

They had Berrios at 98 last night, has to be off.

Yep, there was just talk about Berrios' velocity dropping a little recently, all of the sudden he's hitting 98. Right.

 

If he is hitting 98, his arm is about to explode. I've heard many times that a guys velocity goes up a couple of ticks right before the ligament(s) pop.

The Yankees need to start using signs for their pitches, as opposed to walking out to the mound between EVERY ****ING PITCH!!!

[gocgo]

Hit here knocks him out.

The Yankees broadcast says that when MLB limits/bans trips to the mound, it will be called the Sanchez Rule.

In case anyone missed it, Mauer pulled that ball.

[Don Walcott]

My Rosario prediction doesn't look so good right now.

I literally have no idea how a proffesional baseball player doesn't swing at that pitch.

Expecting a fastball I'm sure.

Mystify them Big Sexy!

Yes, never seen that before......ever.

Twins look good so far, but the Minnesota sports fan in me knows that of course this will be the game they get all their hits against severino and make him look beatable, before he kills us in the wild card game.

That was a bit prophetic, unfortunately.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Aaron Judge is the worst.

[gocgo]

Why?  2 strikes.  why throw him anything hittable?

[John Kelsey]

 

Aaron Judge is the worst.

 

I think Bartolo Colon is a lot worse, actually. 

[Don Walcott]

280-foot home run?

[gocgo]

Uh boy....here we go.

Prophetic I say...

[twinsnorth49]

That little league fence comes in handy a lot.

[Mike Sixel]

That's the Twins' pitching staff I know and love! sigh....

[wsnydes]

 

280-foot home run?

Yankee Stadium...

[Don Walcott]

Okay, that home run wasn't a cheapie.

[Mike Sixel]

 

That little league fence comes in handy a lot.

 

and yet the Twins have how many home runs in 2+ games?

[twinsnorth49]

And yes, giving him something to hit like that was the worst.

[wavedog]

Mystery solved - well the joy of that 3-run lead did not last very long.   

[DaveW]

Can't succeed in Yankee stadium without strikeout or ground ball pitchers...

[Circus Boy]

I just threw my shoe at the TV. Radar had me at 102 mph.

[Aggies7]

I would say that's disheartening

[yarnivek1972]

Too early for Hildenberger?
