According to the "experts" at MLB Network, the Tigers were going to get slaughtered. Meanwhile as Happ was getting the Hershey Squirts so were the Boston & Cleveland Bull Pens as the Phillies & Mutts won over their American League Opponents.
Happ now has his team down 4-1, a prize from a Cracker Jack Box is more valuable than Happ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oakland 4 Yankees 1 This game is quite simple. Yankees with 3 total hits. 1 by sir Didi, and 2 by Tauchman, with the solo RBI. Happ has only given up 3 hits, 2 of them being home runs. Happ has more home runs; has given up more home runs than anybody has on the team- 31. Unbelievable- 30 fkng 1...
Happ is his usual low standard self, LeMahieu & Urshela aint hitting and at the half way point of the game the Yankees are looking at another loss.
That 8 ball is really huge. Happ doesn’t have a pitch to keep his teammates within striking distance. His teammates are being silenced by Mike Fiers. Not a winning combination!
Bottom of the 5th two on 0 outs. Rothschild Slumbers to the mound and talks into his fist oh, don't read my lips. His advice? Hang in there son you'll be in bed in a few hours tucked in and this nightmare will end. Bases Loaded no outs thank you helplessly Happless. In comes Green to face the Green Wave...
Maybe Trashman should send Happless back down to AAA where he will get his act together....... Oh, wait a minute, looks like recovery is only short term! What a mess with Yankees’ pitching....and BaBoone’s management. It’s turning out to be a disastrous combination.
Green has a Hershey squirt but that inning could have been worse. Happ, a can't handle the moment, gutless buffoon!!!!!!!!
Ford connects with a HR 430 feet to RF. Judge strikes out at a ball one foot outside 9 inches above the knees. Obviously connecting with the nuclear 460-foot blast plus last night has not brought his timing back around.
Top o' the 8th Judge, with 2 puts and runners on the corners, represents the winning run. judge takes the first three pitches all out of the strike zone. The third pitch 6 in below the knees is called a strike. 2-1 fourth pitch a fastball at the letters, a 99 mph fastball, Judge cannot catch up to it. 2-2 Judge swings at a ball down in the dirt gone fishing gopher killer strike three rally is dead, inning over. Anti-climactic
How fast we forget..it was only 2 seasons ago prople were so excited about Adams and wanted him up with the big club when he dominated AA. Well...he gets injured and hasnt been the same since. They could of had sevy. Adams. Montgomery (as a 5th starter) but all are/were injured. Cashman tried... Grey was an all star Paxton has huge potential and had very good stats with Seattle He gave up players that either were over valued or extras in the system. Hasnt panned out. We could of been stuck with sale and his contract. Pretty sure we can all agree that he is overpaid. The one pitcher that has been moved that the yanks passed on was coles..and Pittsburgh wanted miggy, which the board didnt want to give up.... I will concede that its time for a new pitching coach, we can look across the river to see how a different pitching coach may change things....
