Yeah, his range sucked.  Probably why he needed to jump to throw.  Fucking Jim Edmonds with his dives.

Jim Edmonds: the master of making easy catches look difficult by diving unnecessarily. One of my least favorite players of all time.

That's a good point but I wonder how much Dusty wanted to win that game to clinch the series advantage. He admitted post game he was thinking about it.

Look- I’m never ever going to say with certainty that I know what Dusty is going to do, but my argument is that it would have been the best chance to win by putting Meyers in for Yordan.  You be talking about 7 hitters away before Yordan is up, in a game where they start a guy on 2nd bc they want the game to end in 1 inning, and you will make your OF defense horrific in a 1 run game type situation. 
he might have left him in but the move would have probably been to go with Meyers, even ignoring the fact they don’t want Yordan in the field (probably).

Yeah I agree with you, I think it would've been wiser to let someone hit who was actually gonna see a hittable pitch with a base open. My only point is that Yordan wasn't necessarily out of the game.

He also said Judge & Stanton weren't playing so he is known around the valley for his uncanny accuracy and hitting a 90mph pitch this one time.

He should have been but you are right, he didn’t HAVE to be. 
I bet we don’t see him in the field again until next week. 

[Wulaw Horn 19152]

Fuck Stanton is such a donkey out there. The Yankees should be generally embarrassed by their OF defense. Looks like a beer league softball group out there. 
We’ve been a clown show defensively for the last couple weeks but that’s not our thing. It’s like a virus. But generally we are outstanding defensively and do all the winning games stuff (except Altuve on the bases). 
 

[tx 3 putt 77419]

Garcia looking sharp today !!!

 That extra rest is showing

That is a good question considering Yordan tends to hit better when he's in the field on a regular basis. I don't think the risk of injury to that hand is heightened by playing defense considering he hurt it swinging the bat.

More about getting his feet wet slowly. But maybe not.

Yankee fans when Yordan is up:

Luis on pace to have almost 100 pitches by the end of the 4th inning

@Helobious  credit where credit is due, you don't slink away in the face of a loss. 

I can respect that at least. 

He's the long Covid of fandom.

[tx 3 putt 77419]

Hahahaha Yordan !!!!

[Gourmand 7774]

YORDAN IS A FUCKING MONSTER

[cabowabo 4514]

Lol. What the fuck are the Yankees thinking?

[Guadaloopy 11013]

Fucking Guy!

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Welcome Back Yordan

HOW WE DOIN @Helobious ?!???!

[Scraps 13577]

Yordan activated....Siri sent down.

Time to drag his nuts across helobious face

Nuts.across.your.face

[tx 3 putt 77419]

Bregs !

[elfenix 34332]

5 RBIs between bregman and alvarez with 2 outs so far

[Guadaloopy 11013]

I was not aware that it’s Jeter appreciation day.  
 

Whatever revs your engine, Bregs.  

[Wulaw Horn 19152]

I like the fact that we are going to walk them off in a low scoring pitchers duel and then we are going to buttfuck them into oblivion in game 2. It’s a versatile ass kicking. Something for everyone. 
I was just reading the ESPN power rankings that has the Yankees ranked in a tier all by themselves. Yeah, OK, Sure, whatever. 

[Wulaw Horn 19152]

I mean if they would have titled the tier Astros bitch, sure. But they didn’t. 

[clapclapclap 9000]

The Mona Maton is quiet good.

With a win tonight, we’ll only be 2 1/2 back for best record in the AL. With the tiebreaker and ROS  schedule, I like our chances

Edited July 21, 2022 by TonyTexas

[Wulaw Horn 19152]

I will give the Yanks credit here- for as little as they score on us and as much swing and miss they have and as generally overmatched as they are … was there going to be a compliment in there?  I forgot. 
oh yeah- they see a lot of pitches and that’s irritating. 

[Gourmand 7774]

Again, I'm not necessarily superstitious but ever since Yordan was in the minors I've comped him to Pujols and I can't help but think he's some karmic return for having to deal with Pujols as long as we did

[Gourmand 7774]

not ideal, luis

[clapclapclap 9000]

Too much Yankees trash in the building.  Bagel gnawing carpetbaggers.

Let's not go full Helo just yet

Throw fucking strikes Garcia. Even to that gorilla judge. Just gave them a free run. Make him hit a HR before you do a bases empty walk.

Fair point. 

[kevwun 15890]

Matt Carpenter has a clause in contract that guarantees he's an extra in every NYC cop movie and tv show.

[Gourmand 7774]

75 pitches through 3 innings is not how you draw it up

[Wulaw Horn 19152]

If we won today and extrapolated our winning percentage against the Yankees this year over 162 games we’d win 115 games. That seems low, right?
