    Deer in the headlights.

    Ground ball specialist. Not so much yet.

    Graterol and Littell still want their consonants back, but I suspect Rogers is happy that he isn't being call Rodgers, and is thankful for that. I would have had a pitcher, Berrios, that had only given up 1 earned run, and had just had a 1-2-3 4th, come out for the 5th with only 88 pitches, and see what happened from there.

    Berrios gave up 1 earned run in 4 innings. ONE. His defense let him down, and had a lot to do with increasing his pitch count. He should have been out of the 3rd with only one run given up. Plus, if the robots were calling balls and strikes, it would have been a lot different. Still, he had a very fine 1-2-3 4th inning on 12 pitches, and the game was tied going into the bottom of the 5th. Berrios could have gone more than 4. It certainly wasn't his choice. He wasn't that far off with his breaking stuff..... it was just the Yankees are too good to go for it. Berrios only had 88 pitches when pulled, and it was a tie game. To say he wasn't doing a good job is just an opinion that I don't agree with. We need more than 4 runs. The offense needs to step up, just like they did all year. Garver 0-5, Rosario 0-5, Cron 0-4, and Kepler 0-2 went a combined 0-16. They have to have a better game, today.

    ??? Scherzer pitched in the 8th in relief for an inning.... his bullpen day..... but it was Strasburg that started and went 6. Same point, but the wrong pitcher?
  6. h2oface
    It hit his glove. I saw Justin Turner make that play tonight (or was it yesterday). So add him to Arenado. I have seen lots of players make that play. I still remember my little league coach.... if it hits your glove, you should catch it. It was still a play that could have been made. Was it harder? Yes. Did it hit his glove? Yes. Are heroes made in the post season, with plays like that? Yes.

    The only way to stop it......... is to win some playoff games. It won't stop until then. And hey, it is pretty remarkable. 14 and counting.

    You think if the score is tied in the bottom of the 6th that Rocco goes with Stashak? I don't. I think if you could have gotten a clean inning out of Littell, Duffey would have gotten the 6th, and we see Romo and Rogers. Regardless, those plays were run scoring game changers. But the good news is..... we have a rested Rogers and Romo and May if we get to those innings with a lead. Berrios had a good 4th. 12 pitch. 1-2-3. Pitch count at 88. I would have brought him out for the 5th with the game now tied, with a short leash.
  9. h2oface
    Cron catches the throw to first. Sano catches the hot shot to third by Torres that bounced off his glove and turns a double play..... big game changers.
  10. h2oface
    If it was just Berrios, and earned runs...... the game isn't lost and would have been 4-1. I don't disagree that Berrios struggled for the out pitch, but even with the unearned runs....... leaving the game in a tie has never been why any team loses a game.
  11. h2oface
    What would you call what Nuke Littell did? Bob Gibson had the control to do that, even if it was always cowardly. He was good enough not to need it, even. If you don't have the stuff to actually get batters out, just try to not throw at them but try to but not really but kinda but if you do hit them claim you didn't mean to and it just got away? Hard to dress that skat up. Being a really good pitcher might be what is missing here. To consider what really good pitchers have done, and replicate them, means you have to be a really good pitcher to start with, eh?

    DJ LeMahieu was so clearly the second baseman to sign. Cost nothing but $. No draft pick. 24 million for 2 years. Perfect. Somehow, this front office thought it was Schoop. Letting the Yankees see Graterol in a game like this to get used to him. WTF. 14 and counting. New guys. New team. But I saw them last night on the dance floor.........., and nothing had changed.
  13. h2oface
    The prospect rankings folks were all in on Turner the whole time they were both in the system. Garver was the Rodney Dangerfield. I never understood why. I think it was always about the defense. I always figured the defense, which he was already runner up to Turner and the Johnny Bench, was there and would get better, and he already could hit, something I thought Turner would never grow into. Really happy for Garver. I think his best is yet to come, too. I'm thinking MVP in the post season is in his future. I guess that means we at least get to the ALCS, and if he is to be an MVP we would be winning the ALCS and advance to the World Series, or winning the ALCS and the WCS.

    Although I guess it is related, I am not srprised at the low Ks, I am surprised about how much solid contact, and contact in general batters are making. And bottom orders, too. I know how old he is. It still surprises me. Lots of contact.
  15. h2oface
    Is Graterol of the pitch to contact school, only at higher speeds? No matter how long it lasts..... and it will last about, at minimum, at least almost a year for sure, and maybe much longer, depending on what becomes of the "ball"..... for the Minnesota Twins, our Minnesota Twins, to be the MLB all time record holder in Home Runs for a season is truly something, and not a throw away, and not connected to what may or may not happen in the Play-offs this year, at all. So whether one discounts it and doesn't care, it stands on its own, and it is a great achievement that no other team in the history of MLB has ever done, including the Yankees!

    Only thing not acheived...... #102. Fire Adrianza. Time for some Yankee dinner.
  17. h2oface
    TWINS ARE HOME RUN RECORD HOLDERS!
  18. h2oface
    Single by Yankees brings Stanton to the plate with 2 outs!
  19. h2oface
    Graterol seems soooooo hitable. At least..... seems to get hit a ton with lots of contact.
  20. h2oface
    Nah...... pulling guys like Sano in a one run game (now tied) with the HR record on the line? All on Ehire.
  21. h2oface
    When is a mistake pitch not a mistake? When Cron whifs at it.
  22. h2oface
    Yankees down to 3 outs! Some subs in...... Ford, Frazier, Gardner due up in the top of the 9th at this point, with Stanton next, if it gets that far. Looks like they will be batting last in real time... unless we go to extra innings........ just what we need, eh? Extra innings......
  23. h2oface
    Lynn strikes out Gregorius..... now pulled. 5 outs to go for the Yankees, with Jose Leclerc (yikes) dealing for Texas.
  24. h2oface
    Thorpe.......... I just don't see the fascination.
  25. h2oface
    now that's funny........
