Yordan was moving.

[elfenix 34751]

"that hit was not hit as far, or, as hard"

love robert ford

[Dutchrudder 11243]

That's like the 4th infield hit to third base this game. The Yankees stats guys should probably analyze this or something.

Cool douchebags

At least it wasn't Tucker or Chas

[Dutchrudder 11243]

The Yankees pinch hit their catcher Higashioka for Judge for that 1 at-bat, and then swapped him for their backup catcher Rortvedt. Odd how they can be so nonchalant about swapping their catcher.

Montero about to mow them down

Fucking Diaz calling the Hr pitch 3 times. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Would like to see us put up a crooked number against Middleton.

Ok, well fuck me I guess.

He wanted to throw to Diaz !

[WBT 20979]

Good win

[Mo Horn 8938]

Couldn't watch because it was on Apple, but nice to get the win. JV day tomorrow. 

[Dutchrudder 11243]

That probability tracker in the bottom right for Apple TV is really annoying. 

[cabowabo 4691]

Glad the national broadcasts are done this series.

He should have known. Some his homework. 

[texashorne 1194]

There's been talk that Bader is a douch and Gardner 2.0 and all that.. then people are like "no, thats just his mouth piece."

Why the hell is he wearing a mouth piece? 

[The Earl of Texas 3214]

Nothing worse than dedicating your Friday night to going to the park and watching your home side get their asses kicked by a team you hate. Astros continue to spread the joy 😈

A few years down the road, he and Gilbert can vie for being NYC's douchiest athlete. That title will be up for grabs upon the retirement of one Aaron Rodgers. 

[The Earl of Texas 3214]

Hunter is settling in. Three QS in a row.

[Fudge Nuggets 19455]

Even in a lot of those games that he gave up 4+ runs, it was just one inning where he lost his shit.

[Scraps 13800]

JV Day is back

Diaz catching him has turned his season around.

What in the absolute crackhead trash is this 

[Chuckie Finster 23079]

I will legitimately be livid if Dusty returns next year.

[Mez2 4048]

Is there some rule I don't know about where we try to give JV the least amount of runs possible?

He demands Maldy at C and Dubon at CF, so Dusty has to get creative with him bizarre decisions (Kessinger wtf)

[Mez2 4048]

[TonyTexas 10772]

I get sitting Diaz vs a LHP, don’t really understand why JV likes Dubon in CF but if that what he want then fine, I guess. But playing Kessinger is inexcusable. 

[kevwun 16438]

Yordan gets moved back down to 5th after hitting a home run?  Jesus fuck Dusty.

Then move him to 2. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2117]

I don’t think that it’s that Verlander wants Dubon in center it’s that he absolutely wants nothing to do with Meyers in center. I don’t remember the exact game but I do remember a game where Verlander looked like he was about to lose it after watching noodle arm misplay a ball in center. After that he was done with him. I don’t think he ever played center again behind Verlander. I think I’m remembering that correctly. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2117]

Somebody didn’t fill out the lineup card while Dusty was in the shitter this morning. They had one damn job. 

[hornmpa96 2668]

What in the fucking fuck?

Can we leave an empty spot on the roster? This isn’t little league - all of the players aren’t required to play.

Kessinger?

Kessinger is going to dump one over that joke of a RF wall today.
