Now the home plate ump is calling strikes balls. Tank is not giving me a warm fuzzy feeling at all. location is off as t/Umps eyes are Valbuena struck himself out chasing Splitters in the dirt. Double play follows another bullet dodged
All the hype and bullshit that came with Tanaka signing was a staged 12 ring circus, as if He were a lights-out Marquee Premier Pitcher. Half the time Tanaka's sub-par at best.
Yankees score early in one inning and then are tamed like a lamb to slaughter! Tacking on runs seems to be a foreign task for these guys. BTW, I am serious about trading Stanton/ K-man.....he’d be better off somewhere on the west coast......or further.
Astros in tomorrow. They are in extra innings with Indians 9-9 bottom of 12th inning. Astros’ announcers not happy about using the pen, but they said the only saving grace was that the Astros have Verlander going tomorrow and he’ll be strong for the team. Isn’t it great to know that Verlander is an automatic win.
Indians win over the Astros in the 14th. Astros announcer Todd Kalas, I well remember that asshole when he was at Tampa. Always wanted to give him a mouth full of knuckles. Verlander is not so much an auto win, in truth he has a weak competitor in German. Sad but true though I have heard it said that in regular season play Verlander has a losing record against the Yankees. The offense needs to tear Verlanders ass up like the Giants did in the Twelve World Series.
Today Tanaka was on........I wonder if it was because he’d be facing Ohtani? I just do not trust Tanaka in a big situation.
Remember when Tanaka went up against Darvish, he broght some octane with him in outdoing his countryman. No doubt their was some octane facing Ohtani. I view Tanaka as iffy myself, when on he's on but he's not money in daily performance. I thought the Yankees handled Ohtani well this series, we won't see ham again until next year.
