White Sox +72 Padres +66 Astros +64 LAD +63 SFG +56 Boston +50 NL West now seriously bunched up with three teams within 1 game, two-way tie for first. Btw, our/Greg775’s old friend Nate Jones got some huge outs in the high leverage 7th and 8th with the Dodgers clinging to a 1 run lead against the Gigantes. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/05/dodgers-select-nate-jones-dfa-travis-blankenhorn.html

You mean Scott Boras Corp?

That was also dumb, once you already had him warmed up. Everyone knew it was game over doing what TLR elected to there. Especially considering he might not get in tmrw with Cole on the mound.

Lamb? Mendick, Hamilton and Grandal were already in the game, same with Eaton.

Madrigal to baserunning/fundamentals school please...and Vaughn probably has never bunted in a game situation since early years of high school.

Predictably terrible ending...

Hendriks against Judge, Urshela and Torres? Marshall can survive another inning if his tightrope act?

Jesus Christ...crazy game.

Vaughn really has to dial it up here...

Shades of Jenks vs. Red Sox in 2005...

You clearly didn’t watch how well he threw the ball all night long...

Great throw by TA7...

Who are you going to remove? Six man rotation?

And here’s where we concede the game with Marshall...

Vaughn averaging 85.6 on throws, Eaton at 90.4 and Leury in the low 80’s...which is surprisingly slow for a SS arm and 2-3 steps to get your full weight/momentum behind the throw. Great at-bat by Gardner, battled his butt off.

Thank god Wade dove into second or he would be on third.

Yeah, but he’s making more contact instead of striking out...

If LaRussa puts in Evan Marshall with Cole looming tmrw...

Andujar starting to come alive...looked like a Yermin at-bat there. Chapman warming.

Pitiful?

Nope. 2/4.

Madrigal was deked...didn’t read it well off the bat. Two huge mistakes by him tonight. But one big RBI.

First majoe league game in modern era with 10+ k’s from both starters, no walks, no runs surrendered. Breaks 29 scoreless inning streak for Yankees as well.

Nicky Two Strikes. One of the few hitters in baseball that could do that.

That was a two seam sinker at that velo.
