Jim825 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Nice win today. The Yankees remembered how to hit again as they open the game with 7 straight hits. Taillon goes 7-1/3 innings and only gives up 3 runs. I’m wondering in Derek Jeter gave the team a pep talk after last night’s loss — “You’re the F’n New York Yankees! Play like it!!” Hopefully they can keep this going tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted September 10, 2022 Author Share Posted September 10, 2022 Jim, I just got finished reading about the game. Very impressive. I haven't seen a game since the Oakland series and that doesn't matter as long as they win. If Jeter did give them a pep talk I hope they listened. I bet he would be glad that he doesn't play with this collection of players that seem to have no problem going on the disabled list. With that guy you couldn't give him a day off. Tomorrow is a big day. And Taillon really ate a lot of innings. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 WOW!! Yankees won.. scored 6 in first due to Kluber being under par. will see if it continues today or have a letdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 We all have to feel a lot better about the Yankees as this weekend comes to a close as compared with how they looked at the start of it. They scored ten runs yesterday and today and with the way they’ve been hitting that is a minor miracle. I really have one problem now. We have Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza. I keep forgetting who the shortstop is.🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s told me stories of some of the Yankee games he attended in the past. For example, he was at the ALCS game in 1976 when Chris Chambliss hit the walk off HR to beat KC and get the Yankees into the World Series. He and his older brother tried to get onto the field like the thousands of others but a NYC cop pulled them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In October of 1976 I was in Catholic school and the night of game five of the A.L.C.S. we were given a lot of homework. I went right home and started it right away as soon as I finished my paper route. I got a few hours in and I missed much of the first half of the game but I did not miss the home run by Chambliss. It is still one of my all-time thrills. Now I have to wonder Jim because I am sure you saw the thousands of people storm the field after the ball went over the fence. Why would a cop pull back two boys who just wanted to celebrate like everyone else out on that infield that night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) Way to go Cole. Gave 2 HRs to lower end of batting order, and 3 total. And you're an ACE? Maybe an ace bandage. fortunately you were saved. Edited September 14, 2022 by Ritchie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 A win is a win. Plus with Tampa Bay and Toronto playing each other, the Yankees have been able to add some distance over both of them as they trade wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave up one legitimate home run last night and he pitched very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Another good win for the Yankees and they increased their lead over Tampa Bay to 7-1/2 games. I guess it’s the Rays who are SLIP, SLIDING, AWAY!! They have a 6 game lead over Toronto with 4 more games against them in the next few weeks. It would be good to put some more distance between them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't trust ACE bandage Cole, Montas hasn't been that good, Holmes can't close out a game without giving a run. Won't go far in the PS.

Jim825 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 If they lose you complain. If they win you complain. There is no pleasing you. A 5-3 win counts the same as a 15-3 win. Right now, I’ll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is where I differ from you. Yes this was a good win because it easily could have been a bad loss and if you stop and think about it you'll agree with me. 1. J.D. Martinez could have been called safe at first and the score would have been 4 - 3. Who knows what would have happened? 2. No lead is safe at that bandbox of a park and the Yankees could have very well lost it in the ninth or in extra innings. That reversed call was the key moment of the game. 3 hours ago, Ritchie said: Because this team is not that good.

They had to do a lot of things right to get that early lead but I understand your hesitance to back them. I'm still worried too but it makes me very happy when I am proven wrong.

Yankee4Life Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 Take a look at the replay of Torres’ Little League home run. Check out the ball boy. He got out of the way of the ball completely and by doing so he made Verdugo run farther to get it and that gave Torres more time to circle the bases.

You have to remember that these Sox are not a good team this year pitching and hitting wise. Let's see what they do vs the Brewers this weekend as Cashman's TOP trade product is pitching tonight.

I will take it and as far as Milwaukee goes they are not a National League powerhouse. Montas has been doing well also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) WTF!!?? read that Montas was given a 5 run lead and he blew it!! Way to go, Montas. Has he pitched a good game since he was traded?? And team went 2 for 11 with RISP. And Holmes falters once again. REPEAT: this team $uck$. Still time for them to blow the division lead as Jays are 5.5 games behind. Edited September 17, 2022 by Ritchie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Montas:. 5 DUDS in 8 starts per NY Post article. Yeah, and he's supposed to be the #2 starter behind ACE bandage Cole. Early exit in the postseason for this crappy team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
