By blackace Go To PostTony LaRussa is a fucking idiot, and I hope the unwritten rules of baseball hurry up and die
Is that about the 3-0 bullshit? I mean why the fuck would you not swing at 3-0? It always irritates me when people don't swing at 3-0. It's usually dead center of the plate. It's the best pitch you're going to see. Knock the fuck out of it. A few pitchers, a bunch of coaches, and a lot of old heads (Fenders) get upset about it, but come the fuck on.
I don't care about the score. I've seen teams put up double digits in an inning, no lead is safe. Swing the fucking bat. It's on the pitcher to stop you from hitting it into the seats.
I've heard people talk "don't swing on the first pitch" and then "don't swing 3-0," like what the fuck? They call swinging on the first pitch an "ambush," for crying out loud. The best hitters still fail 70% of the time, and they're supposed to give pitchers multiple free passes? Because of feelings? Go fuck yourselves.

But if you run out a position player who throws a 48 mph meatball 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ fuck it.

then you throw at him the next game and his own manager says he doesn't have a problem with it?
I am glad the young guys are starting to take a stand !
Yankees just got a triple play to get out of a walk and error to put runners on 1st and 2nd in the top of the ninth in a 1-1 game.
Let's see if any one of these fuckers can get on base and then score a run to win it.

It can't be ignored that a Yankee starter hasn't given up a run in 5 games.
The bullpen gave up some runs today (total of 4), and even Chapman gave up his first run of the year and blew a save this afternoon (1 run), but even then Chapman got the win as the Yankees got a run in the bottom of the 9th (walk-off walk to Aaron Judge with the bases loaded) to get the series sweep versus the White Sox.
Hitting is still kind of... eh. Torres is on fire recently, and maybe with 3 hits today Frazier will start to click. But the pitching is really keeping the Yankees alive right now.

3-0 Toronto in the 4th and Kluber had to leave early. But now it makes sense.
By Pac-12 Go To Post3-0 Toronto in the 4th and Kluber had to leave early. But now it makes sense.plenty of innings left.
"Kluber left the game with tightness in his right shoulder and will have an MRI tomorrow." -Yankees radio broadcast (Suzyn Waldman)
This is what happens, Syphon.
This is what happens, Syphon.
So to recap...
Syphon doesn't post, Yankees win every single game they play and no starters give up runs.
Syphon posts this afternoon, the Yankees starter leaves the game in the third and the Yankees get pounded.
Not saying there's a connection.

So to further recap...
Syphon doesn't post, Yankees go on long winning streak, starters go 5 games without giving up a run, Kluber gets a no hitter, and not to mention Toronto is on a long losing streak.
Syphon posts, Kluber exits the game early, the starter run-less inning streak ends, the winning streak ends, Toronto's losing streak ends, and Voit and Kluber go on the IL and Kluber could be out 2 months.
And tonight's game gets rained out.

Baseball old heads mad as fuck that Aaron Judge just tied the game on a 3-0 pitch.
Tony LaRussa, don't watch.

Yankees at least won the nightcap of the double-header to avoid the series sweep.
Probably would have won the series 3-0 if not for that earlier post from Syphon.
PB, you know it's true.

Justin Wilson just got fucked. Strike 3, hit the fucking outside no doubt about it, but the umpire called a ball. Next pitch, into the left-field seats just over the wall, 2 run homer, game over.
I was sure Wilson would give up the 2 run blast to lose in extras (because Wilson has been shit all year, and why the fuck is Boone trotting him out there in the 10th with a 2-1 lead), but fucking not like this.

How to walk on 3 balls
(Title is misleading, it wasn't 3 pitches, it was quite more.)
(And fuck all did it do for the Yankees.)

Yankees are 1-6 since this post, including getting swept by Detroit.
Syphon, you created this tailspin, now fix it.

I personally fired Aaron Boone and the hitting coach.
Nobody listened.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostVlad Jr went 4 for 4 tonight. The dude is becoming a cheat code.
Syphon's fault, most likely.
Anyway, sitting here with bases loaded, bottom of the 10th, 2 out... and Sanchez is at the plate.
So basically it's going to 11.

Yankees are apparently going to play Aaron Judge in CF tonight. If he's on the IL tomorrow, you'll know why.

How to suck at baseball:
Lead off double
Second batter walks
Lead off runner gets thrown out trying to take third on a pitch that didn't roll far enough away from the catcher
Runner at first gets caught leaning the wrong way and is picked off
And in between these two plays, the third batter flies out to shallow center.
