If / When their bats wake up, they’re going to raise some hell

1st & 2nd, no outs, Ari 3B Rojas lets a popped up bunt fall hoping to turn 2, but blue calls it foul. Don’t see a gift out given away like that often.

Hitter Ks anyway, then Rojas kicks the 5-4-3 next. Rough stretch for him. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,983]

Oak wins in 12, that was some real shitty ball in the zombie innings. Rough night for top of the NL West. 

[tx 3 putt 76,958]

Damn, this is sad !

I think it’d be badass to be an A right now. No pressure to perform whatsoever and you’re making at least the league minimum of $700k. Even after cali cost of living that’s a shit ton of money. Seems like a sweet gig.

First Yankee pitcher tossed for sticky stuff since Michael Pineda 5 years ago. Clearly an organizational cheating issue.

Has there ever been a shittier trade for both teams than Pineda for Jesus Montero?

[Evil Bill Obrien 3,284]

 

MLB needs a sticky scale so we have something to compare these cheaters too and so pitchers know where the sticky line is. Was German more or less sticky than what Scherzer got ejected for? These are the questions we really want answered...

[Scraps 13,561]

Not sure what exactly has gotten into Eduardo Rodriguez, but his last 6 starts he is a bad motherfucker 

Back to reality

This is the same ump that ejected Scherzer, and he used the exact same “stickiest hand I’ve ever felt” line then too. He’s actually said that after all 3 of his sticky hand ejections this year. He’s nothing but an attention whore.

[shadow_operative 15,932]

maybe the ump just has really sticky hands.

Hoye wasn't even umping the Scherzer game....and Cuzzi wasn't umping the Yankees game last night

Why do you spout off bullshit that can be easily fact checked?

[Helobious 9,453]

Someone said it on the Yankee Reddit page.

[TonyTexas 10,513]

That same crew gave German a break 3 weeks ago when he was also found with the stickies. They let him continue after he washed his hands. I think German might be a dumbass

Dustin May left today's game after 1 inning with soreness in his elbow.  

But don't worry, the Dodgers have Dylan Covey to replace him!

He’s definitely been through a lot. He had to overcome beating up his girlfriend in 2019 and the long ass suspension after. But he just hasn’t been the same post suspension and keeps doing stupid shit. The fanbase is more than done with him, he might just be an idiot and a bad person.

[Helobious 9,453]

Meaning he had to overcome the suspension itself to get back to the game. But yeah the actual beating up part was 100% his own doing and he deserved what he got. Maybe more.

Fuck the Mets and they’re ownership / gm 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,983]

Well, their SP tonight went 6 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 12 K. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,983]

Biggio PRs for Belt, promptly gets doubled off 2nd with no outs as the go-ahead run in bot 8. He may find himself in Buffalo soon, -.5 bWAR already. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,983]

3-run walkoff in bot 10 for Tor.

I kinda undersold this one, just saw the final on the app. Rather fucking crushed down 2. 

 

[Underdog 28,633]

Mets were down to their last out in b9 before tying it 5-5 on 3 run blast. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,983]

That Tampa staff starting to show some cracks after their injuries. 37 runs in the 6-game NY trip so far.

Noon today on MLBN.

As much as I love the right field view from Minute Maid when the roof is open PNC has it beat pretty easily, that is a spectacular view.

[Scraps 13,561]

Agreed PNC's is great

I think Busch's is pretty good too if someone would occupy the shitty building that is vacant

Edit: reading is hard

That looks like shit. Like looking out of a half-opened shoebox. 

[Underdog 28,633]

I’d throw Wrigley in there if they hadn’t fucked with the renovations.  But yeah, PNC is tops but I’m biased.

To be fair the roof isn't all the way open in that picture, just the best one I could find on short notice (prob could have found one from a World Series we won but whatevs). Took a couple minutes and found a better view of Minute Maid for you to enjoy:

Sorry its hard to come up with a good gif/video from 2022 because that ALCS was such a non competitive ass beating


Back closer to the stadium backdrop topic...real scenic out there at Steinbrennerville in the Bronx eh?

 

[Jshep34 2,308]

Someone should tell Yankee fans majority of thier world series titles were 20 plus years ago.

[InkaUtexas 25,940]

Kid is going to get his chance. There were questions about him getting a visa for tryouts. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,983]

3-run yack by Contreras as C. Funny how that works.

Edman hurt, PH yack. Urías getting smoked. 

Gorman yack. 3 of last 4. 

[Scraps 13,561]

Urias seems like he sucks.

13th homer given up already after yepez/Gorman

[Scraps 13,561]
