Tough loss, the Yankees seemed to be hitting them where they were all night. That 2 run hiccup aside Tanaka fared pretty well. Hicks played a damn good centerfield. Don't know why Bird tried to go home on that pitch but he did make up for it. DH Players, Judge, and Sanchez have to start getting on base.
Damn-Whadda pitcher's duel... Tank didn't do a bad job; while Green was spot on, giving the BP a much needed rest... Keuchel, lowest ERA vs the Yanx, <1.4x; typical game, masterful mothafuckr... Keuchel's K of Bird in the 7th, played back over in slow-mo, the ball had eyes in it, spun inwards and down, just under his bat... Whaddya' know a Arky Razorback ate our lunch today, hidden in the bad ass beard. Check that beard for illegal oil/wax... ~!!! Tough call on Bird at home, anything less than a strong, perfect strike; and the games tied... This game, over billed as the two best MVP choices, a rookie and a horsefly, Altuve gotta' hand it to the short man, he's a catalyst, sure fire MVP this yr imo... Thome's off his rocker imo, talking about Judge not swinging with an 0-3 count, the goals to get on base, .... no need to swing for the fences quit yet, then... T/Stro's, for a Team that had such a hot offense, they didn't look that hot to me, b/t Keuchel's era, they barely got by with this win...
