Just a suggestion to MLB channel.....if your commentators feel BaBoone, Gardner & CC are going too far with their ‘aggression’ on rookie umpires, may I suggest, since you are so critical of the Yankees’ actions, that you stop showing videos of BaBoone ‘raging’ against these umpires. You can’t have your cake and eat it too! Just stop showing something that you voice as critical. Now, let’s move on from your Yankee angst!
Should be interesting that today’s HP umpire threw Sabathia out of Saturday’s game. I wonder how long CC lasts in this ballgame? Do not want to see a parade of Trashman’s “Not ready for Prime Time pitchers” being escorted on & off the mound.
CC is up against opposing pitcher, Mike Clevinger, who has a 7 - 2 & ERA 3.34. Yankees need to get to this guy early. He gets stronger as the game moves on. As usual everything hinges on how Boner uses/misuses his bullpen.
LeMahieu -1B Judge -RF Gregorious -SS Urshela -3B Sanchez -C Gardner -CF Torres -2B Ford -DH Tauchman -LF
Odds favor Cleveland today, Clevenger over Biggie I'd say, Clevenger is as the rest of the Cleveland Staff is pretty good. Though I tip a cap I still think the Yankees can find a way to win. Get todays game and the Yankees will have both this and the season series.
CC implodes in 2nd inning. Several walks , a couple of singles, & a HR .....so far. Yankees down 4 - 0....and the bases are loaded. BaBoone enjoying the game!
Boner sends out Biggie for another roasting like the kind Eovaldi is getting from the Orioles right now Bostons down 6-0.
Clevinger looks like an elephant with his wagging trunk( his arm) before he pitches with men on base. Weird and very funny! Anything to distract the batter!
The reliever parade begins reminding me of the Sondheim written Judy Collins sung "Send in the Clowns".
Well, at least it is a nice sunny day. Unfortunately, the game becomes secondary when the pitching does not show. Today the Yankees could be shut out for the first time this year.
