The Yankees

@wissox Don’t feel bad - I’ve noticed the older I get, the more easily “irked” I am. Things that never used to bother me AT ALL just gripe my butt now. Maybe we’re just less tolerant of all the BS around us now.
-
@nuleafjhawk Althouugh I agree we are swimming through a tsunami of BS, there is a bit of good news in the bovine discharge department: scientists have discovered a way to genetically engineer the intestinal tracks of calves so they won’t produce as much methane. Cattle produce 4% of the CO2 in the atmosphere.
Breathe easier!
-
@mayjay I can’t tell you how much better I feel now! Thank you!
-
Series tied 1-1. Rubber match coming up!
-
This is the place for the Yankees
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Who last won a World Series the Yankees or Royals?
Number 28 has been a loooooong time coming.
-
Well the Royals had an obvious Out not called and dropped game one. It’s all gravy at this point don’t get me wrong just wished something went right today.
-
Gonna be a good serries
-
Amazing game. Of course you had to beat a former White Sox pitcher to tie up the series!
-
@wissox I did not realize Rodon likes to celebrate after every strikeout?
-
@AsadZ I’ve never seen him like that. He threw a no no for us once and was all business on the mound. I was a little chagrined seeing that the other day. But I’m becoming a big Salvy fan this season. His interview on MLB channel the other night was golden. Hinted that Rodon’s antics were a big motivator.
-
El Capitain
-
Logo was going strong for 4 but lost control, pretty much same thing as his previous start against Baltimore
Come on Royals, let’s go now
-
@AsadZ he needs to ride pine tonight
-
We are tied now
Let’s go and get it
-
Yankees made a great play at second there smh got make it happen in the ninth
-
Gonna be a good series, I think it will go five
-
We don’t have the horses but sure fun to have playoff baseball back in KC!
Pitchers aren’t getting ahead in the count - leading to walks and working up the hill versus down it
Hitters don’t have as good of an eye as the Yankees do. They make you throw strikes before just wailing at first pitch fastball
-
KC pitchers have issued too many walks, part of this could be due to them being careful with Yankee hitters.
They need to get back and pound the zone and don’t get down on strikes.
Our hitters need to step up especially Witt Jr and Pasquantino.
-
I know this is ok as it’s Yankees thread, All I have to say is – IF and again I say IF - your Royals DO end up losing the series and I’m not saying that they are going to but IF they do you won’t have to looks any further then the walks issued. - -In two of the game that I know of they have walked Seventeen Yankee hitters. You just can’t do that and expect to win–that’s just giving extra outs.
It’s not like NY is tearing the cover off the ball hitting- -Judge sure the hell ain’t- -he is just as frustrating fo Yankee fans in his case as the Royals are with the walks - -I still say it’s gonna be a good series and think it will go the full five,-- Al though it’s time for Cole to step up pitch a good game for NY.
-
@jayballer67 you are correct
Too many walks
I think our pitchers are a bit intimidated by Bronx Bombers.
We need to strike and pound the zone.
-
Walking is definitely a problem but the yanks have much bigger strike zone than the zone from what I have seen
-
Regardless of outcome I’m very happy for KC and how far they’ve come along.
Their payroll is perhaps 1/4 of Yankees and they have come along this far as a small market team.

I watched Judge in some interviews and got an impression that he is genuinely a nice dude, humble and not arrogant.
I cant say the same about Soto.

If I were a 25 year old with Soto’s experience and accomplishments and skills, I wouldn’t be humble either. Some people who are arrogant are just jerks, but a very elite few are just that good.
-
Juan Soto is the best natural hitter I have ever rooted for (when he was a young kid on the Nats). Back then he reminded me of a prime Bonds or prime Manny. His understanding of the strike zone at that age was unreal.

No doubt he is good, glad we have him for this ONE year lol
-
@AsadZ yeah. I’m. Fan of Judge. He’s a specimen and humble a truly rare combination.
-
@dylans He always looks shy when they show him in the dugout. Has one of those callow faces evocative of a kid looking around in wonder.

Another is Stanton , not flashy cocky at all, kind of quiet- - has had a pretty nice post Season and his forearms and bi -ceps - - good lord
