OT: MLB Thread - Part XIX: Yankees Hire Boone. Joe Buck Still Unenthused

[Machinehead]

If Judge did what Gurriel did and then proceeded to hit a game tying 3-run home run of the best pitcher in the game you'd give him a standing ovation too.

He wouldn't.

 

[Machinehead]

No lefty to pitch the Bellinger there?

Liriano but It wouldn't matter.

 

[Machinehead]

Liriano but It wouldn't matter.

Yeah he sucks.

Astros bullepn is up there with the worst I've seen make it to this stage.

 

[darko]

He wouldn't.

That's not the point.

 

[darko]

Liriano but It wouldn't matter.

That swing.

 

[Machinehead]

That's not the point.

It kinda is the point, but whatever, I'll go with it.

We're not talking about the guy who just tied the game. Anybody would get cheered for that.

We're talking about Gurriel getting a noticeably loud ovation when he was introduced for game 4, a clear show of unity with what he did. The fans were in the wrong on that one. And I wouldn't even care if they just cheered for him. It's the fact that it was extra...

I thought he was talking about cheering him after the HR.

Mets in 2015 was pretty bad. They basically had familia and Reed was good every third time out. Clippard was already in shambles by the playoffs and nobody else was reliable

No comparison to this Astros pen.

Astros pen has been next level bad.

 

[Machinehead]

I thought he was talking about cheering him after the HR.

No, he got like a solider-returning-home welcome from a small portion of the fans when he had his first PA in game 4. That's why it's kinda weird.

Like, I'm not saying I'd sit there and boo him, but I wouldn't be like "f*** yeah, Yuli!" To be fair, again, it was a small portion.

 

[Machinehead]

Ok Roberts, how long are we going to wait here?

 

[Machinehead]

Ok, this is officially blowing away every Stanley Cup Finals since the lockout.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

This game is bananas.

 

[Bob Richards]

Seeing a dejected Kershaw is pretty sad. I won't lie.

 

[darko]

Best WS in some 15 years.

 

[Machinehead]

Buck has this weird obsession with Gurriel being a rookie.

He'll go out of his way to mention it.

 

[Machinehead]

lol what a brutal bunt

Not to mention unnecessary

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Followed up by a horrendous and unnecessary dive by Springer.

What else are we going to see in this game?

 

[Cassano]

If Judge did what Gurriel did and then proceeded to hit a game tying 3-run home run of the best pitcher in the game you'd give him a standing ovation too.

Speak for yourself.

I thought he was talking about cheering him after the HR.

No, it was as Machinehead said.

 

[Machinehead]

Don't agree with letting Morrow pitch to Altuve.

I'm fine with Roberts trying it three days in a row, but after the first two guys it was clear he had nothing.

Then he proceeds to watch him give up a homerun to Correa.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Looking forward to the Dodgers tying the game in the 8th and then again in the 9th.

 

[Cassano]

This puts into perspective how good the Yankee pitchers were this postseason.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

This puts into perspective how good the Yankee pitchers were this postseason.

Astros hit 4 homers over 7 games against the Yankees.

They have 4 in this game alone.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Wow not sending the runner from 3rd there may end up being huge.

I don't care who you bring in out of the Astros pen for the 9th, with a 1 run lead the guy will blow it.
