Toronto Blue Jays v. NY Yankees; GM 3

[gruber92]

Cole at 92 pitches through 5. Nice job from the bats.

Yankees' subreddit comment:

 

"Cole, a supposed ace, just got embarrassed by the worlds fattest dwarf."

 

lol

[bones10]

Yankees are snake bit big time. You love to see it

[Solaxys]

Never in a million years would I have guessed Cimber could K Judge without ump's help lol

[gruber92]

Cole punching the dugout ceiling is a beautiful sight.

[Terminator]

Was Gerrit Cole crying in the dugout? lol

[DigitalRock]

Looks like a lot of in breds in the stands. Is it always so empty in yankee stadium?

[Skinny Wolf]

will they bring in Kikuchi?

[BigCecil]

Yanks fans tough on team man. They are still running away with the D cause of early wins and there is good chance they get hot again at the right time.

 

f*** the Jays can lose 8/10 and if you are a tad overly pessimistic the positive police are out in droves OTB.

[John_Havok]

Can understand why Cole is pissed, that JBJ double was inches from being caught, and ditto the Kirk hit.

 

Gotta love baseball. Fractions of an inch on the contact between ball and bat is the difference between giving up 1 run vs 3

Benintendi is definitely a sub par defender; just unfortunate that his bat hasn't really been that good either.

[DigitalRock]

“ We got to strap it on” …well played Gausman

[John_Havok]

Cole is about to implode out there

[Solaxys]

Chapman getting the Espinal treatment

[DigitalRock]

Chapman getting f***ed by a bad ump

[Deadpool]

Umpires are worse than ten thousand Hitlers.

[Dylan]

Just posting to say how terrible again the umps are

[John_Havok]

It’s a bad sign for Espinal when he’s become the kind of hitter they shift against. He has got to get back using the whole field.

[BigCecil]

Agreed. As if Cole needs to get 98 4-5 inches off the plate away. Give Jays credit for what they put up in that situation.

[Solaxys]

Seems aggressive to shift on a guy who has had less than 20 PAs in the majors

[Solaxys]

Also wow that movement on that 2-seamer

[John_Havok]

What makes it worse is that he called a slider in virtually the identical spot a ball against Kirk. Why is he handing out fastball strikes there but getting the sliders right? If anything the slider should be the pitch that might get that call given it’s trajectory in coming across the plate, whereas the fastball starts out there and stays out there.

Whats the verdict on White's 4 IP from the Board? guys like him? Is 4 enough?

TBH a lot of the hits against him (which inflated his pitch count) were BABIP luck/questionable defense. He kept the ball down (think only 1 flyball overall), and got key Ks/outs when needed.

He has the stuff and I think in the offseason, with some time in the complex, he can actually be a pretty good 3-5 rotation kind of guy

I don't think he's stretched out for more than like 75 pitches at the moment, he'll probably get more next start, but it was a very solid 4 from him.

5Ks 0 BB got hit around a bit. 73 pitches. I mean he could have given them one more for sure. Would he have done it without giving up 2, 3 or 4 runs? We won't know until we give him a shot..lol.

I’d like to see the curve more early in counts for strikes, and he really needs to get to changeup in a better place (it’s too hard) to be more than a 4-5 kid of guy.

 

He could easily be better than Stripling if he figures out the changeup.

[Terminator]

Tapia wanted to snap the bat over his leg but he probably would have snapped his leg instead of he tried

[John_Havok]

Heh, Tapia just plain sucks. Really hope they get rid of him in the off-season one way or another.

Bass-Pop-Garcia?
