IIRC, Gordon Beckham mentioned during one of the games in KC that the runner on 2nd could see the grip Kelly was using prior to the pitch. That might have been something Kelly cleaned up recently.

I don't think he's insinuating that they were stealing signs, they must have picked up on him tipping his pitches.

Very interesting find. For some reason, it seems like Dallas Keuchel loves to provide extra commentary to the press. I don't think where you grow up always defines you as a person, but Donaldson grew up in northern Florida and went to school in Alabama. He has a history of being an asshat. And now we're getting rumors that he didn't get along with latino players? I'm sorry, but he really doesn't get the benefit of the doubt for his Jackie comment. Those things all kind of add up.

What episode?

Breaking News: Josh Donaldson is a douchebag.

He's on the COVID IL, isn't he?

The Yankees' bullpen has lost a lot of its arms. Green is getting TJS. Chapman has an achilles issue and has pitched like crap recently. Loaisaga has sucked despite having really good stuff. Castro kind of goes in that same category. Their only real reliable relievers right now are Clay Holmes and Michael King and one of those guys gave up 2 runs on Saturday. For the first time this year, the Yankees are dealing with injuries and uncertainty. They've really been living the charmed life so far, but that's starting to change.

That's kind of crazy considering how bad his defense has been.

I think it'll depend on where we're at in the standings. They might rest him a lot like they did with Rodon last year if we're somehow in a good position to win the division. If we're constantly chasing the Twins, they might keep him around for more starts. I think he'll end up with a similar amount of innings as Rodon last year. Maybe he gets around 25 starts.

I hope this is the turning point of the season. We could have folded today after Judge tied game 1 and be 6 games back of the Twins, but the guys fought back and swept the Yankees.

Katz must have worked with Lopez to lengthen his delivery cause he's no longer slide stepping on every pitch like he was. And it's gotten him a 3-4 ticks on the fastball. Earlier in the year he was throwing 95.

Nasty sliders to Stanton

Leury almost played that into a single. Good thing Rizzo is really slow.

Let's not forget the grand slam they hit is probably a warning track fly out in just about every other park.

Liam is warming.

Judge didn't even hit that one hard. It just dropped in between everyone.

Must be nice to be up so much that you can pitch position players.

Lopez in to finish it

Have yourselves a game: Grandal and Robert

I'd be ok with that.

No more Tanner Banks vs. the Yankees.

Let's not let Judge come up here with guys on base.

The bullpen can't take their foot off the gas here. The last time we had a lead this big, we blew it.

If it wasn't for the piss poor defense against Cleveland, I'd say he would be in the MVP conversation right now.

He hit that harder than Tim's. Just in the wrong part of the park.
