[RpR]

Yankee pitcher adjusts; Twins pitcher did not adjust.

Needed to jump on him early.... and they didn't.

Why did they sign Jackson?  His advanced age and declining skill set to hard to resist.

[Jocko87]

LOL, Stanton home run had an xBa of .870. 

I'd like to see some tape on the 13% of 18 degree, 114 mph hit balls that are caught.

(Unfortunately the (intended) sentiment doesn't mean quite the same thing in baseball... Yankees have gone home... 5 times! Sigh)

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Jackson!

Unfortunately i never took Latin. Had to look up the reference.

I suppose nothing stops me from learning Latin, but alas i am lazy.

For the umpteenth time I saw the bob Gibson clip, where he tells tim Mccaver to get his fat butt behind the plate.  Best part, is when Gibby told McCarver if he knew how to pitch, he would be the one, replacing him.

[Aggies7]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 😴 

[Aggies7]

11 in a row retired. 

[Aggies7]

Rodon had like 60 some pitches after 3 innings, and still completed 6 😑

Yeah, I think the exact quote from Gibson to McCarver was: "The only thing you know about pitching is you can't hit it."

Choking---bad play....they crap the bed like salmon swim upstream at the sight of a Yankee uniform.

Coming in from the ocean, salmon have no other options. Until they die.

[Parfigliano]

Typical TC vs Yankee game

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Nicely done, Jackson.

[RickOShea]

My favorite book of quotes and crudeness is "Ball four".  J bouton's book is a classic  and my favorite book.

 

[USAFChief]

Well that was an embarrassing 6 innings.
