Thank you Mets…..for rearranging your pitching rotation. It’s good news that the Yankees do not have face
Jacob deGrom.

 

Montas walking a very thin tightrope in the first.

 

Montas walking a very thin tightrope in the second.


Both of the first two innings, Montas puts the first two batters on base...needless to say, he can't keep doing that.

 

In the 2nd too

 

Same ole Torres...swinging as hard as he absolutely can, even when they are out of the strike zone...then stands there as a called strike 3 goes whizzing by.

So tired of his shit...for the umpteenth time, shoulda traded him when he had value...completely mediocre hitter, completely mediocre defender.

 

HA !!!...beat you to it.

 

Montas retires the first batter in the 3rd...WOOOO HOOOO !!!

 

Frankie fans the first 2 batters in the 3rd.

Here's to open he's finally settling in.

 

Strikes out the side...***CONFIDENCE BUILDER***

 

Another 1-2-3 inning for Frenchie.

 

Don’t like a DP machine like lemehieau in front of judge.

 

All rise and I rest my case

 

Judge, with #48...1-0, good guys.

 

If you look at the players with the most DPs, you'll only find good hitters...in fact, I believe Pujols is the all time leader.

 

Yup...just checked...here's the all time leaders in GIDPs; (stands to reason that most are RHed batters)

Albert Pujols 423
Cal Ripken, Jr. 350
Miguel Cabrera 349
Ivan Rodriguez 338
Hank Aaron 328
Carl Yastrzemski 323
Dave Winfield 319
Eddie Murray 316
Jim Rice 315
Julio Franco 312

 

you are correct. I’d just rather see DJ hitting behind and protecting judge instead of in front of hom

 

Walker walks in another run...2-0, good guys.

 

Base on balls is killing Mr.Walker! Good guys up 2-0, bot 4

 

I don't think DJ is gonna make pitchers squirm hitting behind Judge...that's where Rizzo and Stanton come into play...just my 2 cents.
