[SanoMustGo]

Thank God the Yankees come in playing poorly, otherwise it would be worse than it is.  But damn, this team is doing everything in their power to give this one away.

Eh, more likely than not, but you can’t be sure. Those throws get there quick.

Jeffers was all of us in that moment. Dumbfounded.

Yankees announcers wondering why sano takes a 3-1 pitch down the middle. So are we

Yankee broadcaster John Sterling says “the Yankees have the slimmest of leads.”  Creating drama when there is none…

Rough inning for Astudillo. First, short-arming a chopper ground ball that would have been an out, and then cutting a nice outfield throw to the plate from Larnach.

[Aggies7]

There’s literally nothing I hate worse in this world than losing to the Yankees. War, famine...all pale in comparison. Yet it just keeps happening.

[Vanimal46]

Robbie!!

Misses a homer by a foot, and gets hurt in the process.

[operation mindcrime]

Way to go Refsnyder!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

At least we know Larnach and Refsnyder don’t have the losing disease against the Yankees!

 

* no sooner do I type that than Refsnyder pulls up hurt

And a Dick Bremer tease calling it gone... Double whammy.

Refsnyder with the clutch hit followed immediately by anxiety-induced muscle spasms from the shock of getting a clutch hit against the Yankees...

Austudillo just having a fantastic night,

And that ball is gone off the top of the wall. What a Bremergasm!

Willians One-Pitch.

Colome against 2-3-4?...nevermind

And Astudillo continues to show patience at the plate...

Four pitches away from drawing a walk and extending the inning 

[Aggies7]

Lol that’s not a strike

Well, he is staying in the batter's box.  That's a step up from his days in the low minors, chasing the pitcher and trying to hit it out of his hand...

[Vanimal46]

By the way, to add fuel to the fire for the opposing pitcher tomorrow, this was his response today when asked point blank if he’s used the substance Spider Tack while pitching. The silence says it all...

Gladden described it as "a headfirst...double."
