[tx 3 putt 76298]

I doubt we pulled jv without his ok 

[Guadaloopy 10917]

That was a hell of a play to keep that to a single.

Good point

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

better not see Maton tonight (or ever again). 

[Wulaw Horn 18968]

Welp, there was no way he was going 9, so what the fuck does it even matter I guess.

however, in this exact scenario in the playoffs, JV needs to keep going. I trust HOF with a hot night >>> the bullpen.

He could've faced Correa at least to preserve the chance at another team no-hitter

Because we’re in a 2-0 game and I would have rather had JV facing their 2-3-4 than Stanek…

But it worked out.

At least for the 7th.

but now how do you bridge the 8th?

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Need some runs. JV needs this win

[Gourmand 7774]

fuckin yankees win, very luckily

NYM loaded the bases down 4-2 in the b9th and Lindor roped a changeup just barely foul by a foot or so down the LF line that would've been a walkoff three run double

[tx 3 putt 76298]

That hit the pitcher ?

[Limp Brisket 546]

I guess convenient to take him out?  It was 73mph off the bat.

Hard to have a walkoff as the visiting team

Eh whatever all I could see was all the NYM jerseys in the stands, wasn't paying close attention tabbing back and forth between Astros game and that one

fuck the Yankees

[Chuckie Finster 22598]

Yordan’s gonna hit .450 when they eliminate the shift.

[tx 3 putt 76298]

Finally !!

73 mph on the throwing arm will take out any pitcher.  You don’t know exactly what damage might have been done, so it’s a big risk to throw max effort after that.  

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Breggy bomb!

[Gourmand 7774]

BOOOOM BREGGGGS

[Js1 85085]

Breggy Bomb

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Baby Boomer! 

[runthebone 7931]

Maybe Yordan needs some hand rest or something.  Bregs!

[Guadaloopy 10917]

 Breggy 💣 

[billfromlaketravis 11358]

Well alright!

Ok

[kevwun 15608]

Lucky that one didn't hit the roof.

[tx 3 putt 76298]

We need to fix Yordan 

[kevwun 15608]

I think his hand is still bothering him.  He doesn't usually slump this hard.  He's doing good to get one out of the infield right now.

[tx 3 putt 76298]

Fuckign Smith 

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Smith apparently is not proficient at this baseball thing. 

[kevwun 15608]

This is why JV should have pitched the 7th.

That presupposes we really care if we win this game or not. I think you take him out there (if he’s ok with it) bc you don’t want him to throw 7 pitches to get through the next inning and then be at 102 pitches or something and smell the finish line. 
We aren’ trying to win every game right now we are killing time and figuring stuff out. That’s what you do with a 12 game lead with 39 to play. 
All that said- I really hope Will Smith continues to suck. I don’t want a flukey 4 week stretch to allow them to roster him and see him bring his gas can to the playoffs merely bc he’s left handed. I’d love to see a DFA there and bring up Brown. 

[tx 3 putt 76298]

Damn good DP 

[billfromlaketravis 11358]

Neris you beautiful bastard. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

I don’t know how you would measure it but I swear Altuve is throwing harder to first than he has in a couple years.

[Guadaloopy 10917]

Hey Will…

The clown show continues. 

[Storm the Field 5271]

Bullpen hates closing out non-save situations.

[Honeysucklerose 957]

This bullpen blows right now

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Go ahead run at the plate smh

[Wulaw Horn 18968]

I know I’ve been talking about nothing matters other than getting ready for a October, staying healthy, blah blah blah. If we blow this game I’m going to strangle a homeless man.
