.662 / 50 AB / Betts
.646 / 30 AB / Lux
.595 / 47 AB / Ohtani
Others, less than 27 AB –
1.092 / 13 AB / Vargas
.781 / 11 AB / Barnes
.210 / 19 AB / Taylor
Betts, Ohtani, and Lux need to get with the program.
Encouraging to see Pages bounce back.
Crowd erupts. Did Yanks just win the pennant or what?
Bottom 3: The Last At Bat
Watched part of Gnats game today, and closed caption referred to Texas starter as “Vivaldi.”
U-less, as Weisman used to call him.
That’s music to my ears.
Hope they can score some runs tonight to support Glasnow.
Grisham was one of the most loathsome Fryers ever, and he’s brought that to Yanquis. Plus, Glasnow blew it badly.
Oh well, took the series and split the road trip. Lets go home.
Ah well. Fun series.
Playoff baseball in June.
Do damage Mook.
Yes!
So you are saying there is a chance?!
Oh yeah!
Go ahead run on deck.
Lux 3-4
Nice Luxy.
Help us other Hernandez. You are our only hope.
The force was with him.
Fun to watch Judge this series. Glad not to have seen Soto and Judge however.
The guy is a beast.
Bottom to the rescue?
It’s great!
Around the horn DP’s are fun to watch.
Ok, so that’s why this was such a hyped series, these Yanks are good.
If there is no comeback tonight for the Dodgers, 2 out of 3 really ain’t bad.
I'll take it.
One out of three ain’t bad on their field.
Trailing by two runs again.
That could be the third game in a row where Judge gets the last rbi of the game.
Climb just got steeper.
Impressive. And Im not even a Yankee fan.
More Rameriz? I’m a bit surprised, but whatever works I guess.
Well, gonna be up to the bottom of the order.
Oh Teo.
Teoscar lurking.
Still going to need more from you tonight Teo.
Safe!
You can do this Fredrick.
Ok Dodgers. Time to go to work with the bats and the hits and the run scoring.
Yeah, that thing!
Stupid mound.
Right?
Unfortunate.
Pages didn’t slid right.
Unbelievably bad slide. No one wants to repeat what Tommy Davis did on a slide but it isn't that hard to keep the lead leg/foot down.
That was fun for a foul ball.
Bottom to the rescue?
Part Deux.
Bery Quebeccy of you
Ok. Let’s use this!
Pa has a walk to lead off
Glansow pitched well tonight. A bit unlucky, but the home runs weren’t.
Should have been taken out after the wild pitch following Verdugo and Judge singles.
A good ballgame that will get better when the Dodgers score again.
Glasnow serving two up.
PFFFFFFFFT. Right down the middle. Darn.
Back to trailing by two.
Arghhh.
A better located throw to first would have gotten Judge.
Yep
Oh shoot
DP would be chef’s kiss right now.
Sigh.
Two infield singles. Grrrr
Verdugo has done well this series.
Last one at 104 mph.
I just heard the ESPN crew ask the question of whether MLB should retire Willie Mays number across baseball. I can certainly see the argument for it, but I think let’s just keep it at Jackie.
MLB retired #42
NHL retired #99
NBA retired #6.
One number per league makes sense to me.
Vin Scully would undoutably disagree with me on this.
He gets a lot of votes for GOAT but does there need to be more to retire his number. Clemente died delivering food to his home country.
Agreed. One per league is enough. If Mays, why not Babe Ruth. He saved the game after the Black Sox scandal.
Too subjective and slippery slope. 42 was a game changer. 24 is a great player, the best according to some but not unanimous.
The announcers keep talking about the first 3 hitters in the Dodger lineup and don't mention Smith. Meanwhile, Teo leads the team in home runs and RBI
Twoscar!
Man on fire!
Teo!!!
Wow Tyler!
Amazing
Good job boys.
Did anybody else hear the announcers mention that Mookie has only a 9% K rate?
9.6% coming into the game according to Bref.
The catcher should have tried to get the stealer.
Yep.
Replay really showed it.
I take it all back Bob. It’s completely random. lol
No runs in past 34 innings and five starts. Hmm..you were on to something until you were not.
Ha!
Mookie!!!
I am delayed.
Didn’t realize it till now.
But not dejected!
2 on and 2 out. Go time, show time Mookie.
Bottom to the rescue?
Can we sequence!?
Exactly.
Lux! Well done.
Yes, Pages!
Let’s go Pages
I can see why the Dodgers needed to challenge on JHeys catch. But that seemed clear in real time that Smith gunned out the runner trying to steal second.
Willie with the arm.
C'mon boys, lets get Glasnow some runs. .
Figured coming into this one tonight that the Yanks should be favoured. Tough to sweep them at home. And tough to win when you don’t give any support to your starting pitcher. But we will see.
You think that Glasnow not getting support is something more than random?
How many starts have it been?
I know it’s basically random but I did think that tonight – considering who they were facing – would not be the night they broke out of that randomness.
So you are saying that it is tough to win if you don’t score runs? I’ll buy it.
Haha. Basically, yeah. Im saying it’s tough to predict a win when you think the team is not going to score runs – because they don’t seem to score lately with Glasnow pitching.
“Considering who they were facing” refers to the opponent though.
Poor Glasnow. That should have been a third out right there. Should be an error for sure.
Ugh, looked catchable.
No eyes here, but Andy’s a pretty good outfielder
He should have had it.
Outman would have caught it. I see Pages as a right fielder.
Had it glance off his glove. Announcer noted that he seemed to be bracing for the wall just when the ball got there but before he actually hit the wall.
Still, hard to give him an error in my book.
Would have been a ground ball DP except for the wild pitch the pitch before.
Glasnow displeased with that walk. You could pick that up on the field mic.
Teoscar says hello.
Sweet start there Glasnow
Glasnow sits down Verdugo
Great catch by JHey there.
Apparently Gil has given up more walks than hits so far this season. But his WHIP is still 1 or lower.
