    Lead off double by Mr. Clutch wasted, Sanchez fails his team in the moment. Hope German can steady himself because if Boner has to burn his pen is game one the Yankees will be hosed in game two.

    The 1-1 pitch to Judge called a strike wasn't just low, it was very low.
    Turned the whole AB around instead of the count being 2-1 it became 1-2.
    A perfect example of why MLB should go with the electronic strike zone whether Joe West likes it or not.
    Is this an excuse if the Yanks lose?.. OF COURSE NOT- but we'll never know what may have happened if Judge was ahead on that count 2-1 instead of unjustly being put in a 1-2 hole.
    Gotta go with the electronic strike zone, and it applies to the opposition also.
    Enough of these blatant missed ball/strike calls by the home plate ump.
    No room for the so called "human element" in this situation.
    Balls and strike calls are the essence of every AB.

    This trend is depressing! Starter gives up 2 HRs. Yankees again in a hole, down 2-0.

    It is no accident that this team makes the game long and annoying.....Boner just adds to the
    ridiculousness of these Yankee games.

    Gardner has a hissy fit and so does Boner.

    Boone need to do that more often. The guy in the runway can tell the fill in what to do. He really needs to get thrown out of one when judge gets shit on

    Sure enough, 2nd inning and Gardy didn't like the called 3rd strike and smashed his bat in the dugout and Boone was ejected for jawing at the HP rookie ump. I believe the horrible call to Judge in the 1st also contributed to this outburst from Boone.
    MLB just has to go with the automated strike zone to protect ALL batters from HP umps having a BAD day. Much more difficult to hit when batters are convinced they should swing at balls out of the zone when they're behind in the count because the ump has already demonstrated by the 2nd inning he calls strikes which were clearly balls.

    This is what I saw. One day MLB's gonna institute putting fingers in anothers face as a threatening jesture...
    such is already the case in any other business...

    Sanchez struggling w/risp.
    Agree on German, he could acquit himself very nicely if he can settle down with a few good innings.
    I think this particular game vs a good 2nd place team after a rough first inning is a good true test for German.
    Actually I believe this could be a big step in his maturing process.

    It seems Judge gets screwed on low "strikes" more than anyone, this sh_t has got to stop.
