I’m like 20 miles away on the other side of the river and there’s literally no wind here.

I haven’t seen the exit velo or launch angle but I sure thought that was out. Maybe just the cold.

It’s pretty cold here.

Would rather root for the IDF than the Yankees, Guardians or Dodgers.

Any particular reason to hate the Guardians besides 120 years of league/division/geographic rivalry?

No that’s it. Fuck Ohio and all that lot.

Not to be a dick, but Detroit with Skubal just burned would have to be one of the best possible matchups a team could get in an LCS.

Landon has a real KNACK for making things worse!

(Middle-middle isn't where you want to put a fastball with the bases loaded #pitchingtheory)

It’s weird the booth is blaming Santillo and not Naylor. These aren’t good pitches but you can pretty easily say 3 of 4 shouldn’t have gotten away.

Yankees trying to prove there’s no roof over the building

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Tue Oct 15, 2024 7:03 pm

I used to mix up Gerrit Cole and Cole Hamels in my mind. Now I mix up Gerrit Cole and Cole Palmer. That’s soccer creep right there for you.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Tue Oct 15, 2024 7:08 pm

Tonight it’s more like Gerrit COLD. (It’s low 50s here.)

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Tue Oct 15, 2024 7:22 pm

This feels like some combination of panic and overthinking the big picture.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Tue Oct 15, 2024 7:23 pm

I’m waiting for the result before I opine

Cleveland is crazy. IBB Soto to face Judge, that will wake him up. Then have a pitching change so Judge can stew about it some more.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Tue Oct 15, 2024 7:31 pm

To be clear, I’m not talking about the walk, I’m talking about pulling your best starter there. Like is the plan he just pitches an inning plus before G6 or that you run him out on 3 days rest in G5 and hope he can go again in relief on 2 days? Seems like bad innings management.

It gets even more confusing when you add Leif Garrett, Ryan Leaf, Nolan Ryan, and Gary Nolan.

Or maybe Wayne Garrett and Bruce Wayne and Lenny Bruce?

Choosing not to Twitter search “Cole cold weather sticky stuff”.

Kudos to the Yankees and Gs for giving us an old school ALCS game at a glacial pace

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Tue Oct 15, 2024 9:02 pm

I don’t even know what to say about that inning. Will haunt us FOREVAH if we lose this game and series.

Benched Rizzo in the 9th last night because he was tired? How the hell does a first baseman get so tired?

One of my favorite things to do is to claim Gooden and Straw for the Yankees

And when in Boston, Boggs and Clemens.

(But never Ellsbury)

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Wed Oct 16, 2024 6:55 pm

The four highest profile stars from the 1986 World Series all went on to win a World Series with the Yankees. That’s really odd when you think about it

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Wed Oct 16, 2024 7:07 pm

And the top 2 from the losing team

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Oct 16, 2024 7:15 pm

And then one rode a goddamn horse around the field.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Thu Oct 17, 2024 6:52 pm

Judge somehow found the Yankee Stadium short porch in another stadium.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Thu Oct 17, 2024 6:55 pm

Fun inning against Cy Clase.

Clase about to open up his jersey and show a Phillies warmup t-shirt underneath.

That’s as many ER in the postseason as the regular season now.

the time between contact and bat flip by Noel was incredible

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Thu Oct 17, 2024 7:46 pm

Reincarnated Glenallen Hill got us.

This deserves two threads tbh. Thanks for the reminder mister d!

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Thu Oct 17, 2024 10:38 pm

I’m just happy you’re still engaged.

You've been a great role model over the last 8 years!

I'm just glad there wasn't a clip like that eight years ago.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Fri Oct 18, 2024 12:54 pm

Why? You could have made a lot of money betting Cleveland when they were down to their last out.
