Someone in New York has a clear-eyed take on things…
Their excuses (sign-stealing, buzzers, opening of a retractable roof) are like their performance against Houston — getting worse.
You need to be neither jury nor Judge to see the obvious. The Yankees’ only path to overcoming a superior team that is living in their heads is on Judge’s broad shoulders.
Props to the NYP for the headline…
I can’t believe das isn’t here to give us the definitive forecast. He’s off gallivanting down under, and we’re stuck having to wild ass guess. Unprofessional.
Put him on probation.
We, as a group, have seldom been reluctant to employ the wild ass guess.
It is our duty.
My weather app, which is usually pretty good in its predictions is showing the rain petering out about 8:30 (central). We’ll see.
If it rains for 2 1/2 hours, that won’t be baseball they are playing.
Don’t need a weatherman to know we need the roof closed.
Game delayed at least one hour. Will evaluate at 8:00 PM eastern.
That is good news imo.
Yes I want Lance to have a dry ball to spin.
Nobody wants to have damp balls.
Looks like about a three and a half hour window.
7 eastern is when It’ll be reevaluated
What time is it now? I’m all fucked up
40 minutes from now
The time now is 40 minutes from now? Now you’ve really fucked HH up.
This is now. Everything youre looking at now is happening now.
Couldn’t find this article w/o a paywall, I found this gem that focused on the “new guys”…
Some highlights:
(Mancini quote) “This team certainly doesn’t mind being in the spotlight.”
(Mancini’s) 400-foot shot off Cole in his first at-bat that went for a fly out, an outcome Yankees manager Aaron Boone acknowledged went into his thought process when yanking Cole with the bases loaded and Mancini due in the sixth.
Appreciated this insight from the comments:
@DaveOC - Yuli Gurriel did not “deftly move from first to second on Mancini’s fly to left.” He went there because Stanton threw to the wrong base. Then his inexperience showed as he misplayed Vasquez’ bloop into a single that drove in two…
