    Speaking of the silly ass park in Houston. It never made sense to have the uphill incline (Talk Smith's hill) in centerfield, with a damn flagpole in the field of play. It's wonder nobody ever broke their neck.

    They just showed the spray chart for Judges 29 home runs this year. A consistent use of all fields.



    look pretty consistent to all fields

    The reason for the mini one-game “series” is that these teams were set to play in April on the originally 2022 schedule, which had to be shifted around due to the owners’ lockout that delayed the season by a week. As a result, they’re set to play Houston today and then return on July 21st for a doubleheader, completing the originally planned three-game set.

    Another thing that makes minute maid Park a horrible Stadium to play in is-
    Early games such as this 6:00 start, can result in the Sun going down in center field glass blinding hitters. We should see that happen in another 30 minutes or an hour. It gets worse later in the season, in August and September, as the Sun moves from the southern Sky back to the north.

    Astros try to steal home on Severino, out at the plate.

    What a foolish move with the bases loaded.
    I wonder if that had Dusty Baker's approval? More than likely he thought Sanchez was catching, and he would miss the throw. Not so with Trevino. No One misses Sanchez!

    Gallo strikes out looking.
    0 hits in his last 25 at bats.
    Gallo's B'Avg in his last 7 games .000 with a .136 OBP

    Ass-tros Pitcher Garcia's windup "rocking the baby" drives me fucking crazy! MLB needs to ban the rocking baby wind up!

    Top of the 6th
    Judge the 2022 AL MVP to be due up!

    Will the Yankees offer Judge more than 40 million per year?

    Ass-tros Commentators brought in a real commentator Paul O'Neill! Finally! Relief for Yankee fans!

    Judge strikes out with a full count, swung at a pitch a foot inside.

    Rizzo chokes up and hits a screaming liner over the right field wall! Puts the Yankees on the board.
    Homerun number 21 for Rizzo

    Dillon Lawson must be teaching Yankee hitters to hit to the opposite field. GT did it earlier, and now Stanton fought off an inside pitch and placed it in right field. It was obvious Stanton had every intention of hitting the ball to right field. The Stanton that used to pull everything actually placed a hit to RF my God THE SUN'S GOING TO EXPLODE!

    Donaldson called out on two consecutive balls. Even the Ass-tros commentators said as much!

    Shown in the K-Zone attached below as pitches number #4 and #5

    IKF just made a phenomenal diving cat-like quick catch to his far right in the hole, as equally as impressive was his throw. Didi Who?

    Marinaccio 1 BB, 1 K, 1 Ground Out to IKF.

    How can one not like this young Pitcher. He turns 27 tomorrow. I like everything about this kid, his form, his windup, his delivery, and especially the way he paints the corners with multiple pitches.

    Donaldson goes down swinging. He was fed a steady diet of outside sliders, of which he could not get to unless he uses a 5-ft long bat. He's standing too far away from the plate.
