"Almost like one of those Asian pitchers..." lol Hawk

Miller's first pitch at 92. Maybe he's a bit tired.

Absolutely ridiculous that we were beaten by Chase f***ing Headley in this series. Dude had 0 XBHs before this week.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 15, 2016 -> 03:16 PM) Another 2 out run. Why were they pitching to Didi like he was a slugger? Ump hasn't called an outside fastball all day. I really don't get it. They were pitching Ackley the same way.

There is no reason we should be letting Chase Headley kick our ass.

Another walk bites us.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ May 15, 2016 -> 03:07 PM) So we're going to be up by 5, worst case scenario. lol worst comes to worst, at least we didn't lose a series to the Twins at home.

I don't think we'll get a better chance of taking a lead than right there. Second and third nobody out. I know it's Betances, but good teams get that run home somehow.

Lawrie screwed us with the error in the top of the inning and then he couldn't get the go-ahead run in with nobody out.

lol this umpire hates Betances. He's missed 3 strikes already.

YES! HELL YES!

Wow I didn't think we'd get two consecutive hits off Betances. Betances got squeezed on his knuckle curve in that AB.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 15, 2016 -> 02:54 PM) 90 mph fastball right down the plate with 2 strikes He did it two pitches later to Tex too. We're lucky it's not 6-4.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 15, 2016 -> 02:50 PM) Again, those runs shouldn't be earned due to Lawrie's error, but MLB says they're earned. That makes no sense lol. And yeah Lawrie's error is what opened that inning up. Duke probably doesn't even pitch if that play is made.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 15, 2016 -> 02:50 PM) You people harping on Duke lol. The dude made a bad pitch, it happens, a 1-run cushion in baseball isn't jack squat. More like 2 bad pitches. I didn't really like the idea of bringing him in to begin with. Jennings is much more effective vs. right handed hitters.

Jennings was doing fine. God damn it Duke.

Had we challenged that, he would have been safe. :|

Barcelona win La Liga again.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 14, 2016 -> 10:15 PM) I blame this loss on God Loves the Infantry starting the game thread too quickly. Actually, Gonzalez has pretty decent numbers against most of the current Yankees career-wise, but Tanaka's not an easy pitcher to beat, even with his stuff not quite what it was when he first joined NY. That said, I'm sure the betting line is hugely in favor of them. OK there Stevie Johnson

Q gets the tough luck loss again. And Eaton finally misplayed a ball.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 14, 2016 -> 02:27 PM) Even though he struck out, that was a great at bat by Frazier. For real. The fact he was able to even touch some of those fastballs was impressive. You can't blame teams for not scoring off the back 3 of this Yankees pen. Sox problem today was not scoring off a hittable Nova.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 13, 2016 -> 09:00 PM) Kershaw is still king. Quintana's gonna have to deal tomorrow to retain his title of top AL pitcher in terms of fWAR. Yeah I'd say Kershaw is still better.

Good teams bounce back like this. Sale saved a much overworked bullpen. Hopefully Q can do the same tomorrow.

Chris Sale is good.
