Post-Game Talk: AL Wild Card - SAWX WIN - YANKEES ELIMINATED!!!!!!!!

[CDJ]

That Hansel!

 

[Gator Mike]

Did I just hear A-Rod talk about how friggin' Anthony Rizzo was going to change the culture of the Yankee clubhouse?

Dude's 32 with an OPS+ lower than Bobby Dalbec over the past two seasons.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Maybe I should watch baseball more often

Nah you picked the right time to start. The last few months have been mostly pain.

 

[Bruinaura]

I miss old George. He was good for some laughs. He and Billy Martin kept me amused for years.

Earl Weaver for me. Or Lasorda

Do managers these days have any sort of personality?

 

[The National]

They’re leaving this guy in, throwing in the towel?

 

[Johnnyduke]

I still hate Sweet Caroline. Only song I said not to play at my wedding.

 

[Number8]

Earl Weaver for me. Or Lasorda

Do managers these days have any sort of personality?

Earl Weaver was great. Just fantastic —- sneaking smokes in the dugout.

Or old Don Zimmer. Throwing his chaw into the dirt during an argument with an ump only to have to go back and dig out his dental bridge after it was over.

 

[EvilDead]

Earl Weaver for me. Or Lasorda

Do managers these days have any sort of personality?

No. They are mouthpieces for the front office nerds. A strong willed manager with personality equals someone who won't do what the nerds want.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Easily the worst AB of the night.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Renfroe???

 

[Johnnyduke]

I rarely watch until mid-August or so and then I go all in if the Sox are having a decent year. Call me fairweather.

Ive learned after 32 years, it’s just not a great game without stakes. What is suspenseful and dramatic now is boring as f*** in June.

You're not wrong. I love baseball but for most of the 162 I follow on my phone as I am doing other stuff. Tonight? Haven't left the couch.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Sometimes I wish MLB did the handshake line.

 

[Gator Mike]

I still hate Sweet Caroline. Only song I said not to play at my wedding.

That's because you have taste and a fully functional cerebral cortex.

 

[The National]

They’re leaving this guy in, throwing in the towel?

Nvm I guess.

 

[08SeaBass08]

bringing Gary Sanchez in to actually play catcher is as obvious a white flag as possible for the Yankees.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Easily the worst AB of the night.

Vazquez just one upped him

 

[KrejciMVP]

have tickets for ALDS game 1

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Perhaps try to hit the ball?

 

[Alicat]

Whitlock to close it out

 

[Gator Mike]

Garrett Whitlock coming in to try to end the Yankees' season.

 

[Smitty93]

No better way to end this than with Whitlock

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Perhaps try to hit the ball?

Those were classic "let's end the game" ABs.

 

[Alicat]

Wonderwall blaring as Whitlock runs out

 

[Mione134]

I stayed away from this thread so I could concentrate.


One more inning, folks.

Deep breaths. Deep breaths.

 

[Johnnyduke]

I need a camera on Chaim as Whitlock closes out the Yankees
