So we meet again: Yankees vs Tigers ALCS playoff thread

[Grifter]

Why the fukk are 3 guys sharing one mic?

 

[Walter H White]

Like I said earlier, the Baseball gods just basically ass fukked the Yanks today.

Like we ain't have Raul transform into 2004 Big Papi thanks to them. Without them and JJ, we talking off season right now.

 

[g-ice]

If Joba could pitch tonight, he would have been in there earlier. Your problem is that you don't want Phelps in there at all even though it was inevitable that he was going to get used. No matter what happened, nothing could appease you. Either you were gonna complain tonight or complain tomorrow. Considering the Yankee bats' inability to drive in a run, you might wind up complaining for both days.

Watch everyone root for the Tigers tomorrow.

Yeah, you can't argue with Phelps being out there. Joba, obviously would of been in the game by then if he was pitching. You don't want to use Robertson for multiple innings once again. It is what it is!! Plus it's not like Phelps pitched that bad tbh

 

[K-O-B]

I like Valverde's reaction

 

[Swiggy]

I like Valverde's reaction

Is there no one in professional sport more deserving of the

 

[23Barrettcity]

Can A-Rod still play SS?

No and he's finished for the series , girardi already said how he can't hit righties and give Arod the thought that every atbat might be his last since its his fault swisher sucks , cano batting .077 and grandy is should be Kurtis Granderson

 

[Da_Eggman]

I like Valverde's reaction

same look he probably has when there out of jelly donuts

 

[tremonthustler1]

I didn't want him facing the heart of the order there End of story

Then there was never gonna be a moment where you would have been comfortable with him in there considering his job is to do long relief.

But so go the Yankees.

At least Nunez will be back.

Yankee postgame is a trip. Kay talking about how the Yanks are the underdog and nobody expects anything

I'm sorry, what is the combined salary of Grandy, Tex, Cano, Swisher, A-Rod, Ichiro again?? they aren't expected to hit?

If that's the case then Cashman should be fired on the spot.

 

[N.Y. State of Mind]

I hate this team. I don't think I've ever hated a Yankee team.

Wouldn't say I hate them. But they're definitely one of my least favorite Yankee teams since I've started watching baseball. You don't see any fire or heart out there outside a couple guys.

These dudes are supposed to be professional hitters, but simply tasks like driving in a runner from 3rd with less than 2 outs, advancing a runner from 2nd to 3rd by pulling the ball, taking a pitch when you're struggling to allow a runner to steal, and just getting that big 2 out hit, seem impossible to achieve.


And those are things Yankee fans have come to expect out of this team, as we should. And since they can't do that on a consistent basis, they're not liked as much as other Yankee teams.

 

[The War Report]

You can't put the blame on just one player, the whole fukking team failed.

 

[23Barrettcity]

Yeah, you can't argue with Phelps being out there. Joba, obviously would of been in the game by then if he was pitching. You don't want to use Robertson for multiple innings once again. It is what it is!! Plus it's not like Phelps pitched that bad tbh

He did pitch bad swisher didn't help but neither did he help himself with that walk and no control of the strike zone .
Drob isn't a baby he's pitched multiple innings before I would avoid the heart of the order with phelps unless I had too

 

[23Barrettcity]

Then there was never gonna be a moment where you would have been comfortable with him in there considering his job is to do long relief.

But so go the Yankees.

At least Nunez will be back.

No I wouldn't ever be comfortable but as a last option ok yes he'd pitch them if it went that long. But by then you could of won it I'd try to ease him in not throw him to the wolves

 

[holidayinn21]

[Regular_P]
