Line is on the Yankees so a good game is needed from Paxton to make that line hold up. Hale was exceptionally dangerous last night.

Welcome back Judge, lot of rehab return in that top four. Note to Encarnacion: that "parrot" thing of yours is about the same level as Jeffery Leonards "one flap down" during the '89 NLCS, ditch it.
Yanx as a Team with a .357 Batting Avg with Runners In Scoring Position (RISP), Houston's B'Avg w/RISP .161 Batting Average's with RISP followed by OBP% with RISP LeMahieu. .470 / .486 Sanchez .296 / .371 Voit .304 / .452 GT .356 / .373 Gio .375 / .382 Maybin .379 / .382 Gardner .118 / .217 Frazier .375 / .414
Costas calling the game: BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rosenthal along for the ride th little dweeb!
Leonard was a POS. His first mockery came in the 86 NLCS vs Saint Louey; but yep he kept that shit up, rather down. Leonard was traded to Milwaukee in 88, then Seattle in 89; but I know you knew that; "86, 87, 89 whatever it takes".... Of course BaBoone has no control of anyone on the Team. One flap up or down; indifferent, disrespect for the Pitcher, the entire Team and flat out showing off; hey'a look at me; I'm a mindless fk... One reason I will watch NCAA-Football but not the NFL. In College with any Sport, one so much as shows off or Celebrates in any way on the Field, its Sayonara to the Showers one goes; the way it should be ...~!!!~ That's how a showoff get's his team-mates and self thrown at.... then the idiot causing the commotion cries foul once the other Team get's pissed for being shown up. Some would say don't let anyone get under your skin; wait and drill the next hitter. I say let the Catcher tackle his ass before he touches the plate; then hit him next go round. "When a player shows-up one of my Pitcher's, I don't condone a Pitcher hitting a batter; I demand it, unless the game would be placed in jeopardy".
Slim caught by cameras Fraternizing with the Enemy i.e. Shorty, Pepe Altuve. Save the Bromance for behind closed doors, or get scratched. Stanton not in the Lineup. One expensive primdonna. Stanton hurt his back, shoulder, hip and knee putting his Shoes on, and has a headache. Yanx Trainer denies administering Midol and Excedrin...
Paxton has one of the more deceptive fastballs imo, not just a sneaky speed, faster on a gun than it looks, 96, 97, and also has a shitload of movement, a classic slicing southpaw. Paxton uses his fastball 84.7%. More than I would have guessed.
Encarcion watches two strikz go by followed by three consecutive balls. He finally swings at the 6th, if you call that a swing. A swing that looked like someone backhanding a mosquito or a fly buzzing around their head ...
The Yankees and Yankee Fans go the extra mile to welcome The Judge back. Aka a Big NY Fku to Stanton ...
