"Girardis job on the line after bad challenge"

How do you not score on a 3-2 two count with two outs

That's Jose Molina speed

 

[StoveOven]

At least they're hitting. I think they can come back from this as long as the pitching holds.

 

[gamz]

I don't know how in the hell you don't score. Great throw tho.

I was thinking the same thing watching him run from third. Soooo slow. It looked like he was jogging.

 

[Frozenprince]

He also had a TERRRRRRIBLE read on that.

I think the real question is how the fuck was he only at 3rd by the time Marwin had the ball. Was he not running on the pitch? It doesn't make any sense.

 

[captive]

great throw by Marwin.

 

[Rock And Roll]

I don't understand Bird either. He got to third by the time Gonzales picked up the ball. How was he not running on a 3-2 2 out count. Yikes.

 

[JambiBum]

Dude, John Smoltz just said exactly what you wrote here. He recommended Judge speak to umps about his height, and remind them where his strike zone is.

Are you...John Smoltz?

Haha no. It's just a pretty obvious observation is all.

Also Bird beats that out if he doesn't take a leisurely jog on the 3-2 count and actually runs.

Yep. No idea what he was doing there.

I think we're not realizing how short left field is in Houston. Judge's hit wasn't deep enough. This might be on the 3B coach for sending Bird in the first place.

 

[mjp2417]

I think we're not realizing how short left field is in Houston. Judge's hit wasn't deep enough.

They just showed the replay of Bird's base running. He wasn't going full speed, such as it is, off the pitch.

Goddamnit Bird!

Nah it was plenty deep enough if Bird is actually running with the pitch instead of jogging. That was a great throw, but on a 3-2 count with 2 outs theres no way Bird should have gotten thrown out there.

Ah, Tanaka's homerun weakness nullified by this ballpark. Nice.

 

[3N16MA]

Hopefully the beard dosen't pitch beyond this inning.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

damn chasing pitches

 

[perfectchaos007]

damn chasing pitches

Keuchel does that to errybody

 

[jello44]

Nice pickup by Yuli to get the tag.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Tag, you're out!

 

[captive]

Why are the Yankee hitters not running out these strike outs? Anything can happen.

 

[Syphon Filter]

dam these guys are too good.

Mike Petriello 9m


When Marwin unleashed 97.4 MPH throw, his hardest of year, he was 252 feet from home, while Bird was just 70 feet away. Throw won by .4 sec.

[jello44]

Holy shit, Tanaka got drilled

 

[davidwhangchoi]

why the yanks keep getting hit near the nuts?

I want the sports science segment

 

[davidwhangchoi]

crap, dude is going to score again...

Tanaka stop looking back so much.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Tanaka wanted that call

 

[Choomp]

Tanaka wanted that call

He’s been giving that pitch all game

 

[jello44]

Right down the middle...

 

[mjp2417]

Great start by Tanaka

 

[davidwhangchoi]

99 pitches, comon lets chase him.

 

[captive]

Wow I thought for sure Keuchel was done after last inning.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

Bird. make up for last inning

edit: damn...

 

[Choomp]

Dope job by Keuchel

 

[captive]

Great start by Keuchel.

 

[Malo]

Our DH spot is trash

 

[Rock And Roll]

I actually think Keuchel goes back out for the 8th, even if it's only for a hitter or two.

 

[mjp2417]

Might as well just let the pitcher hit at this point

 

[Frozenprince]

Finally, a game with good pitching!

 

[dickroach]

I actually think Keuchel goes back out for the 8th, even if it's only for a hitter or two.

nahhh they got a good pen

 

[Caja 117]

Keuchel is just too much for Yanks.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

Castro has such a slow recovery-throw
